I thought Bill Russel was going to hand out the Bill Russel MVP award. I'm not sure why they brought him up otherwise.

Love seeing GS blowing a 3-1 lead after doing the same thing to my Thunder. Congrats to Cleveland and of course an amazing performance by one of the best ever, Lebron James.
Steve Kerr is a d-bag and I'm glad they lost. After saying he didn't know why they were reviewing the nut kick last series and then his pathetic whining after game 6, couldn't have happened to a better dude.

Man that was a series. 4 blowouts, 2 per team at different points, 2 decent games and a nail biter of a game 7. The GSW bandwagon was way too cocky and over confident. Had to be humbled which is weird seeing as how the WCFs went with them jist making it out.
Felt good to see Lebron soak it in a bit.

Sure, but it won't carry the same weight. Also this gsw team will NOT be in the top teams all time discussion.
Has a team ever come back 3-1 in the finals? Also can't wait to hear from the warriors owner.

Real basketball still wins.
Complete basketball players still win.
I hate LeBron, but I am really happy for him here.
...but fuck, JR and Shump gets a title...and Varejao still gets no title. THIS CAN'T BE LIFE

I never thought Kyrie, with all his obvious offensive talent, was clutch.
He absolutely came of age this series.
Um, that would be 1-1

Holy shit @ Kyrie's finals stats. 27 pts on fg 47%. JESUS

Had to be Lebron. Had a much stronger series and was just as good (if not better this game). Plus the whole hometown hero/return thing. Both were fantastic though.

Another pointless debate
Which team is better
Lebron's Heat teams (any)
Or this Cavs team????

Grats to Cleveland.
This wasn't even the worst choke of the playoffs though. OKC had big leads in multiple games against GSW and gave it away. GSW was never in control of this game, they got beat.
Also by far the worst possible series for Harrison Barnes. Whatever someone offers him they should just let him walk.

And they will always mention that the Warriors FAILED to win a championship after being up 3-1 in the finals

For sure, Love actually played really well on D this series, or at least much better than people were fearing. His problem was he was way to slow to get his shot off against the Warriors speedy defense. But props to him for not forcing it, spacing the floor, and hitting the glass hard after Bogut went out. Bogut's injury was huge. Made them have to run out the Death Lineup too early and too much, when it's more effective against second units. What happened to Mo Speights?

GSW are pathetic, they should have won the series EASILY

Someone pinch me, is this real?
Lebron lead in every statistical category on either team. I don't know if that has ever happened in NBA history. Kyrie was excellent though and played a huge role in Cle winning the title.
Is the deluge of posts over? Anyway:
1. Doris looks great
2. Kyrie clinched it for them. No room for it now, but he may be the best teammate Lebron has had. Incredible shot making. Defensive lapses in regular season are always overrated.
3. Lebron looked like himself. Incredibly athletic still. Wasn't there a stat made up "The Lebron" for this exact type of game? 27/11/11
meanwhile...
3. For GSW it was a mirror image of game 6 in OKC. Klay kept them in that game, it was Draymond in this one. The difference is Steph and Klay didn't step up.
4. I would love to list some stuff about Curry and GSW, especially that he's on one knee, but he was bad tonight regardless. No one else has had more opportunities this year. Honestly, what superstar can say their team will keep them close time and time again against the best in the nba? They've kept it close, Steph and Klay finished late a number of times. Not tonight.
This doesn't kill Curry's legacy, but it's as big a set back as Lebron in Miami against Dallas. Not that these Cavs are Dallas, all credit to them, but he bungled this series.

He's one of the best finishers in the league, no question, hitting some incredible lay ups throughout.

Nobody prepared any for the Warriors because they were going to win. Give it another couple of hours.
