Cavs were about as good as they can possibly be, outside of that late Kyrie injury. Even the best player cannot really play better than he did, 44 pts, 6 assists and 8 rebounds.

Warriors were nowhere near as good as they can be. The rebounding is shocking, the iso Bron play would work better if they could fucking get the board instead of Thompson or Mozgov getting it so often

Klay and Draymond were poor and below what they are capable of. Im not sure one can say that about any Cavs player tonight. JR was poor but he is streaky, every Knicks fan knows that. His standard is not 10 3s in a game that is once a month scenario

 

[Danthrax]

Irving and Mozgov played great tonight.

and Tristan Thompson.







I'm telling you, FMT, no one gives him enough credit

 

[friskykillface]

LeBron had a great game. JR and Shump smh.

without JR x Shump cavs dont even go to OT

Shump had like 2 or 3 threes and JR did too, when the warriors made their run

 

[LyleLanley]

Now that the Cavs have lost this series who do we think LeBron will play for next season?

 

[Fjordson]

Glad to get the win. Really sad seeing Kyrie injuring himself again though. As someone who battled knee injuries playing in college I feel for him. And looked great tonight before that in his first finals game. Gotta give him props.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

LeBron could pull a Jerry West and average 40ppg for a losing side in the Finals. Warriors probably gonna play him straight up (smartly) and let the rest of the Knick rejects try and beat them.

 

[effzee]

Said it at the start of the 4rth. Cavs needed a 7-10 point cushion for a chance.

2-4 pt lead disappears in an instant with great shooters on GSW.

Warriors bench was too much. Iggy and Speights outplayed the whole Cavs bench by themselves.

Did JR forget how to drive? All he looked for was the step back 3.

I also hate how many 3s Lebron took but he also spent majority of his time in the post so can't fault him too much with shot selection. That final possession in regulation though was a terribly designed play out of a TO. It wasn't even a play, it just was wait till the shot clock is at 1 and then chuck.

I thought if Cavs could steal 1 game it would be game 1. Don't think Lebron will be able to repeat especially with Kyrie most likely done. I hate Warriors in 6 but now looks like a sweep.

 

[BronsonLee]

I was waiting for him to walk right pass the kid.

Not gonna lie, if I had put in the effort like he did, dropped fucking 44, and still lost, I would ignore everybody and anybody in my near vicinity

Shit, I'd probably pieface the kid

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Wtf? I'm not putting the game on him. He's the reason it was even a game (and broken Kyrie)

That shitty shot was on him though, he's good enough to create a better shot selection. He played a good game...

He should have just pushed off and taken a midrange jumper.

 

[jmizzal]

Cavs scored 2 points in OT and it was a garbage basket lol

 

[sooperkool]

haha i just said that to my brother, $$$$$$

Game worn sleeve from his best Finals performance ever? Its already up on Ebay.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Lebron left bad knee Wade and a team that couldn't make shots...to team up with bad knee Kyrie and a team that couldn't make shots.

 

[thehypocrite]

Now that the Cavs have lost this series who do we think LeBron will play for next season?

Obviously the C's. lol

 

[LEBRON KING JAMES]

I bet Darius Miles would have hit that shot

I bet Ricky Davis would have hit that shot

LOL did you even watch the game?

Klay outplayed Curry by a mile.

 

[Danthrax]

JR could certainly play better. Dellavedova could show up at all

 

[Rainy]

Yo Marshawn Lynch I see you at the game.

 

[Ashhong]

Aren't those things reusable?

You really expect a pro athlete to reuse those?

 

[Godslay]

Well, sure, there was a direct cause (the contact), but exhaustion leads to injuries. You know this!

I agree, probably a combo of both.

 

[blackaroni]

Was that Marshawn Lynch?

 

[Jimrpg]

What did I say about believing in Knicks fools gold? Where was Iman, JR, and your Mozgod in OT?

Where was lebron in OT?

 

[alr1ght]

Has Kyrie always been this brittle? Seems like you could breathe on him and he gets hurt.

Yes. He was actually his healthiest this season. He's frail as hell.

 

[TheSadRanger]

Dat San Fran money tho.....

 

[DEATH™]

Where was lebron in OT?

In the game being gassed...

 

[GamerSoul]

Was that Marshawn Lynch?

yep lol

 

[Kacar]

Well that got bad quickly....

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

One thing I liked about GS today was it didn't feel like they had anyone who was afraid to take the shot. Someone was going to make it and that was really what put them over the edge today.

Yes, Cavs really relied on the seasoned vet to play through and that can really back fire on them. I agree that LeBron should have trusted Kyrie to make the shot and it legitimate gave me flashbacks of Kobe when he didn't trust anyone to take the shot but him.

I think they will comeback hard next game with a different strategy. It really does suck that they aren't 100% but they got to make due. This will definitely show the cracks, if it hasn't already, of the guys who can only really ball in less threatening events.

 

[njean777]

Where was lebron in OT?

Tired from putting up 44pts and carrying his team.

 

[msdstc]

I agree, probably a combo of both.

At the end of the day, it likely was bound to happen regardless. Rumor says his knee requires surgery, probably a slight tear just torn more.

 

[LyleLanley]

Obviously the C's. lol

Why would we want a washed up LeBron when we have Jae Crowder?

 

[Champagne]

Dat San Fran money tho.....

prep school players

prep school fans

disgusting

 

[Rainy]

Was that Marshawn Lynch?

Yeah he's from Oakland!

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

 

[Fjordson]

Dat San Fran money tho.....

Holy fuck.

Yeah, I love living in the Bay Area but it's stupidly expensive to live here.

 

[jmizzal]

Was that Marshawn Lynch?

yup he from Oakland

Lol where was Dellavedova haha I guess we will see him a lot if Irving cant play tho

 

[RedEther]

Dat San Fran money tho.....

Dat price

 

[demolitio]

I just hope Kyrie can make a miraculous recovery. It was already doubtful a week off would heal the tendonitis though since that takes at least a month from my experience so of course he's going to keep re-aggravating it.

Just sucks to see it happen again in crunch time. I rather him having the ball there at the end of the 4th than LeBron. Either try to run a play or let him collapse the D and then decide to kick it to LeBron or not. No reason to take a long fadeaway 2 just because it would be a highlight play.

Shump and J.R. need to step it up. They've been good all playoffs but J.R. acted lackadaisical at times.

Either way, not the game most people expected.

 

[sooperkool]

Aren't those things reusable?

So are sneakers but they usually trash those too.

 

[cubicle47b]

I thought Golden State had a good strategy this game. Don't double Lebron most of the game so the rest of the team isn't involved, then bring a lot of bodies late in the 4th when he tries to post. That forced him to take a hard shot or pass to cold teammates. Golden state is ridiculously deep too. With Irving re-injured and GS getting rid of the jitters this game it should be smooth sailing for the rest of the series.

 

[Redd]

I can't wait for game two Sunday.

 

[Tom Penny]

Cavs got the most they could possible get out of Mozgov and Kyrie in a game and Lebron was a cheat code and still lost. GS wasn't even on their A game.

 

[M.W.]

Who is the 20th greatest player of all time?

 

[DJ88]

Dat San Fran money tho.....

Hahaha that's amazing.

 

[yuraya]

Lebron with 44-8-6 and they still lost. Its all on him the rest of the way.

Blatt get fired if cavs get swept?

Hes probably getting fired even if they win the series lol

 

[beasty]

JR Smith really is the greatest "heat check" player of all time. If he is going its a wrap.

If he isnt going, you might as well bench him cause he gonna keep shooting.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I was just about to say. After 9 days of Lebron is gonna, Lebron is gonna, Lebron is gonna we have now gone back to the classic "he needs more help" line. It really is like we've gone back in time 5 years again.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Dat San Fran money tho.....

Proves how BORING the Spurs are.

 

[blackaroni]

yep lol

Yeah he's from Oakland!

yup he from Oakland

Lol where was Dellavedova haha I guess we will see him a lot if Irving cant play tho

Thanks boss.

 

[effzee]

Im baffled why this James Jones is on this roster. At least with Miami he took some shots.

Why didn't they get Mike Miller in? James Jones was such a waste of space. Dude you are supposed to be a 3 point specialist how about take a shot?

Cavs had a chance but wasted it at the end. Terrible shots execution and play design. Failed at all levels.

 

[NomarTyme]

Holy shit I can't believe Coach James let Little Irving play over 43 minutes.
