If Lebron can carry this band of bumbling players to a Finals victory I will l consider him almost MJ status, none of his championships came against this strong a team with so little support. Thompson can barely score and he may be the second best player on the Cavs right now.

Yup, statistically it would be one of the greatest upsets in the history of the finals, that was with Kyrie. This is the worst team Lebron has taken to the finals in this five year stretch and outside last years Spurs it's maybe the toughest opponent.

 

[Shadow780]

Curry was 5-23 from the field. Jesus.

Now that's Kobe-esque.

Curry needs his Derek Fisher.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Spurs/Heat in 2013 was good. As was the Mavs/Heat finals in 2011.

You're right. They were GOOD not GREAT.

2013 could have been great but Game 7 was not down to the wire.

2011 was a near laugher in Game 6.

Except Game 6, every game in the 2010 series could have gone either way till like the last 3 minutes or so of the game.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Had nobody been talking about the fact that Draymond Green has played like crap for two games? For someone who moaned about Kawhi getting DPoY, once again he comes up short.

Made clutch plays at the end of the game.

 

[J2 Cool]

Still can't believe that Draymond Green block. Warriors really do have the depth and should win an easy game sometime, if Curry doesn't shit the bed like that. Just be an assist guy early next game look for your points late

 

[Zoned]

GSW need to control this 3 point train that they are riding on. Too many missed attempts.

 

[VoxPop]

What amazing fuckball. Wish I could give Delly a hug right now. Outstanding hustle and play. LeBron and JR almost blew it but there were some real stupid calls as well. I still don't see how the Cavs can win the series but I sure am hoping for it. Warriors in 7 is my guess.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

If I was GS, I'd be throwing bars of soap at the mole on Speights' head in the locker room.

Lmfao

 

[gcubed]

Had nobody been talking about the fact that Draymond Green has played like crap for two games? For someone who moaned about Kawhi getting DPoY, once again he comes up short.

Just two games? He was hot garbage most of last series

 

[random25]

HCA now belongs to Cleveland. They just need to protect their home court and they'll win this one.

Warriors just needs to stop relying too much on threes. Curry needs to drive more when his shot is not falling.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Yo, JR Smith is a strange guy, whose team are you playing for motherfucker? You almost lost them this game.

 

[jmizzal]

Had nobody been talking about the fact that Draymond Green has played like crap for two games? For someone who moaned about Kawhi getting DPoY, once again he comes up short.

He played great defensively tho

 

[Erico]

Hahahaha. Truth.

Last great series we had was 2010.

Now that was truly one for the ages.
Derek Fisher randomly crying after Game 3 still never ceases to amuse me.

 

[Dion Blaster]

You can't see the Cavs winning at least one at home?

Like I said I would be surprised. Warriors play like absolute garbage and force OT by playing well for 3 minutes. I don't see them shooting 8/35 again.

 

[BronsonLee]

Lebron would have went to give JR that Chalmers treatment, but its JR Smith so he would cracked Lebron in the jaw got sent away Rondo style.

I feel like JR Smith could've done that goddamn backfist knockout shot he did to the Celtic player, but it wouldn't faze LeBron, who would be running on pure hatred and fury

and a lot of Sprite: LeBron's Mix

 

[bucknuticus]

What is you point? The Warriors are one missed wide open dunk by Speights from being up 2-0.

wut.


And the cavs are 10 more made buckets from wining a blowout. This is fun!

 

[my name is ed]

Great game. And if you ask me Cleveland has controlled more of this series thus far. Two straight games where the pace of play is almost entirely in CLE's favor.

GSW reminding me alot of 2012 OKC.

This Golden State team is much better than that OKC team. I think KD and YNB > splash bros but the rest of that OKC team does not compare to Golden States not to mention the coaching.

 

[SCChappy]

dellavedova controlling curry and he didnt even have to go for his legs

 

[dream]

Curry was 5-23 from the field. Jesus.

It's the plight of the shoot-first point guard. When his shots weren't falling, Steph was pretty much useless, contributing almost nothing to his team.

 

[Danthrax]

So that was the first time the Cavaliers have won a game in the Finals in the franchise's 45-year history. It was their sixth Finals game overall.

 

[Oozer3993]

Like I said I would be surprised. Warriors play like absolute garbage and force OT by playing well for 3 minutes. I don't see them shooting 8/35 again.

It's almost as if there was someone trying to make the Warriors miss those shots.

 

[Draconian]

Honestly, Curry cost them the game. Why the hell he didn't do what most MVPs do and find a different way to contribute to the game? Primarily my shooting more 2-pointers and being a better facilitator...

Because he needs to mature and grow up.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Curry score a single point with Della on him?

A couple free throws.

 

[Joei]

Like I said I would be surprised. Warriors play like absolute garbage and force OT by playing well for 3 minutes. I don't see them shooting 8/35 again.

The problem with what you're saying is they are playing against a team that's actually playing defense, something you don't see in those west coast games.

 

[Ashhong]

Maybe we should be talking about how great of a game Della played. At least in my eyes, dude was everywhere

 

[rambis]

This Cavs team is also not Miami 2012 so I would slow your roll.

Slow what? I never said they were. Not even close actually.

 

[Spinluck]

That's an all time performance for Lebron. Some stupid shit went on down the stretch, trying to force feed the post, but other than that might be one of his best games.

NBA officiating is fucking trash as usual, what a shit fucking product they put out. Embarrassing, glad I don't watch anything but the finals.

I'm just glad he didn't start forcing 3s again.

Really shit stretch of decision making on those shots from game 1.

 

[J2 Cool]

Yup, statistically it would be one of the greatest upsets in the history of the finals, that was with Kyrie. This is the worst team Lebron has taken to the finals in this five year stretch and outside last years Spurs it's maybe the toughest opponent.

It's team fought though, can't give it all to lebron as the tipping point when Dellevadova was the biggest player in OT. Lebrons been great in his effort though, it's one of the most raw Lebron James performances which makes it so enjoyable

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

wut.


And the cavs are 10 more made buckets from wining a blowout. This is fun!

You're just playing into his point. That your argument is flawed and one sided. Every team is just _____ away from whatever.

 

[MiamiWesker]

You're right. They were GOOD not GREAT.

2013 could have been great but Game 7 was not down to the wire.

2011 was a near laugher in Game 6.

Except Game 6, every game in the 2010 series could have gone either way till like the last 3 minutes or so of the game.

2013 came down to the last 40 seconds or so. and game 6 of that series is one of the greatest games of all time, with the greatest shot in finals history.

 

[gcubed]

HCA now belongs to Cleveland. They just need to protect their home court and they'll win this one.

Warriors just needs to stop relying too much on threes. Curry needs to drive more when his shot is not falling.

Warriors won't change their game. That's their game, live and die by the jumper

 

[Tallshortman]

Good lord Curry is 5 of 21 from 3 in the finals. He better step it up because even if they win this is choke job esque if his scoring doesn't improve.

 

[M.D]

Shumpert makes that game winning shot at game 1 and Kyrie never gets hurt, cavs close it down 4-0 at Cleveland

 

[Wizman23]

Cavs should be up 2-0 against Jesus and his Aposteles. Lets smash these fuckers at the Q!!!!!

 

[thehypocrite]

I called Warriors in 5. This was an Iverson Game 1 mixed with the emotion of playing for Kyrie combined with the worst shooting performance I've seen from the Warriors. They are playing commendable defense but I would be shocked if they win another game. I am in full support of LBJ for series MVP though.

I dunno. the dubs have had 2 substandar games in a row, maybe, just maybe there's something going on.

Sweep would have been cool but I seriously doubt anyone is changing their prediction of who will win this series based on a game where the Warriors shot the worst game of their season. Yes of course I know there was defense involved but there was also wide open shots.

True, but taking the series as a whole it has been competitive so far. More competitive than anybody was willing to accept including you.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

2013 came down to the last 40 seconds or so. and game 6 of that series is one of the greatest games of all time, with the greatest shot in finals history.

Yeah but the other games you were trading blowouts.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Had nobody been talking about the fact that Draymond Green has played like crap for two games? For someone who moaned about Kawhi getting DPoY, once again he comes up short.

People absolutely should talk about his brain farting allowing Dellavedova to be in the position to grab that rebound. Really, one competent box out and we'd be all mocking JR Smith right now.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

A couple free throws.

I'm pretty sure that's a no then. I'm pretty sure all the free throws were from JR, not Delly.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

The problem with what you're saying is they are playing against a team that's actually playing defense, something you don't see in those west coast games.

They missed wide open shots. Grizzlies don't play defense?

 

[Jack Remington]

Crazy game. LeBron put up empty stats in a struggle game for GS, but will somehow get credit for the win.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Epic job by the Cavs. Fuck yes.

 

[BronsonLee]

2013 came down to the last 40 seconds or so. and game 6 of that series is one of the greatest games of all time, with the greatest shot in finals history.

Imagine if fucking Ray Allen was on the Cavs and on the floor for these games

You probably could see all of Oracle shit a brick if he ever got the ball. The man is a stone cold killer

 

[SCChappy]

2013 came down to the last 40 seconds or so. and game 6 of that series is one of the greatest games of all time, with the greatest shot in finals history.

that game 6 ray allen shot is etched into my memory

that was one of the greatest shots ive seen happen live

 

[Zoned]

Yup, statistically it would be one of the greatest upsets in the history of the finals, that was with Kyrie. This is the worst team Lebron has taken to the finals in this five year stretch and outside last years Spurs it's maybe the toughest opponent.

2012 okc was a way stronger team than this.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Warriors won't change their game. That's their game, live and die by the jumper

They can still rely on the jumper they just need to do a better job of creating those shot opportunities. Stop taking pull up threes 3 seconds into the shot clock. Move the ball around. No more ISO Curry.

 

[NervousXtian]

Cavs beat 3 this game:

The Refs

The Warriors

and JR Smith.

 

[Spinluck]

when lebron dominates a game then makes a couple bad plays in the last few minutes = choke

when steph shits the bed an entire game = cavs are lucky steph was off!

lol

"Golden State won't shoot 29% ever again!"

 

[victreeb3l]

Cavs in 6

Warriors took a lot of really stupid shitty shots.

 

[Kastrioti]

Here's the thing and what I said before the series started. The Cavs need two players to show up each night to help Lebron and the Cavs win.

Tonight it was Mozgoz and Delly. Game 3 at home JR Smith will probably be more comfortable and hopefully show up. Or Iman Shumpert? Either way Mozgov needs to see more time Game 3.

But LOL @ the people who wrote off the Cavs before the series started or after Game 1. Fuck what happened in the regular season this is 7 games who can show up. And right now Curry looks shook out on the court while Lebron playing like its his 7th finals series.

That counts for something.

 

[uncredited male]

GS's last two offensive plays from the timeouts were terrible. Cleveland missing all those guys and could have taken both in California.
