Congrats to Lebron and the Cavs. They earned this one.

 

[Kickz]

LBJ is immortal status now (along with MJ), he can literally do anything he wants, go to any team he wants, fire any coach he doesnt want

Yup, he has finally ascended to Legendary status.

 

[Champagne]

My, you're easily agitated. I'm a fan of good basketball, and we would've gotten better than a series of blowouts. We would have had more games like this one.

na, not agitated

I'm a Spurs fan, not a fan of either team here

but it's seriously weak as fuck to create phantom injuries as to why the Warriors lost this game

Steph was out there and looked fine. At this point in the season almost no player is ever "100%", but injuries had absolutely nothing to do with why the Warriors lost. Nothing.

 

[entremet]

That kyrie 3 ball will be legendary years down the road.

Link to when it happened on GAF?

I wasn't posting during the game. I was too riveted to.

"The book of Eli"

This is the moment Lebron ascended on some Elijah shit.

GREATEST.
COMEBACK.
IN.
NBA.
HISTORY.

Big shouts to my people on 10-5.
Shout out to my teachers at Miles Standish.
Shout out to my high school buddy on the Clair that got into a legal scrap and lost his baseball scholarship trying to repurpose some pharmaceuticals for community use. Hold your head my G.
Shout out to my people letting off rounds in the air celebrating right now.

The Book of Eli belongs to the 2007 and 2011 NY Giants.

 

[GamerSoul]

It's absolutely The Comeback

One for the ages. One for the LAND.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Curry seems too ok from his interview. I don't like it. Good face for the NBA though classy and answering all the questions.

 

[Iadien]

The funniest part about this game is that Kevin Love wasn't terrible and actually made some significant key plays and crashed the boards like crazy.

Good for him.

Yep, what a great time to play well.

 

[LionPride]

That kyrie 3 ball will be legendary years down the road.

That and the block just killed em

 

[MIMIC]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

OOOOOOOOOHHHHH


MYYYYYYYYYYYY

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

WE DID IT!!!!!!!!

 

[neptunes]

What do you think is going through Gregg Popavich's mind right now?

His nemesis of a Team (Warriors) were overcome through sheer talent.

 

[Cooter]

At least prime Steph gets Lebron on the downside of his career. Lebron's game will deteriorate rather quickly from here.

 

[mohsinkhan]

Curry seems too ok from his interview. I don't like it. Good face for the NBA though.

Yeah I noticed that too. It doesnt seem like he just lost a game 7.

 

[Bsigg12]

He was going to get a ring no matter which team won.

He's eligible for a ring as a Cav for playing so many games but the Cavs have to vote as a team if he should get one.

 

[random25]

This season has been good for basketball sports history.

- Best regular season record (would be unbeatable probably in a long while)
- First ever unanimous regular season MVP
- All time record 3 pointers made by a single player
- Best all-around statistical performance by a single player in NBA finals
- First team to make a comeback after a 3-1 deficit in NBA finals history

I know there's still more, but man this is probably the best NBA season for the management.

 

[Jabo]

So what do we call this, Northeast Ohioians?

THE BLOCK?

THE SHOT?

THE CORONATION?

THE CHAMPIONSHIP?

:-D

Congrats!!!!!!! Are you gonna go out and celebrate? If not what are your plans to celebrate??

Congrats again!

 

[UnObtainium17]

WHEN YOU DID NOTHING ON THE GROUP PROJECT BUT STILL GOT AN A+

And then saw an M&M roll across the room.

 

[FStop7]

Do you guys think Lebron will stay in Cleveland after this?

Do you guys think Curry is leaving Golden State? his contract is up

I think it'd be a mistake for either of them to leave.

 

[Sifl]

So is Love still getting traded?

His defense tonight was a huge part of why they won

One game doesn't make up for how bad he's been. He should be traded if they can get a good deal for him. He did step up big time this game though.

 

[pislit]

na, not agitated

Steph was out there and looked fine. At this point in the season almost no player is ever "100%", but injuries had absolutely nothing to do with why the Warriors lost. Nothing.

Exactly, with that kind of logic, did the Warriors really win the championship last year given that there is no Irving and Love.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

He's eligible for a ring as a Cav for playing so many games but the Cavs have to vote as a team if he should get one.

Well, he definitely helped to contribute to their victory tonight!

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

MJ never choked when it mattered. When he got to the finals he finished the Job.

This. MJ and his team finished where it counts. MJ showed why he was MVP. Curry let down a ton of people, myself included.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

LBJ is immortal status now (along with MJ), he can literally do anything he wants, go to any team he wants, fire any coach he doesnt want

I want to see him truly test this by coming out tomorrow and endorsing Donald Trump for President.

 

[entremet]

At least prime Steph gets Lebron on the downside of his career. Lebron's game will deteriorate rather quickly from here.

I don't know about quickly. Dude takes care of himself extremely well. Those Miami years were something special though. He was a shit brick-house.

 

[mjp2417]

So is Love still getting traded?

His defense tonight was a huge part of why they won

He's definitely going to be shopped around in the offseason. But yeah, nice to see him have an unexpectedly strong game when it really matters

 

[SparkleMotion]

You're arguing against things I never said.

 

[MaxHouse]

Is it fair to say Lebron is just a more complete player than Steph?

 

[bucknuticus]

Past 18 months 2 Ohio based teams overcame what seemed like insurmountable odds to win a title

It's been great for us fans too.

 

[BadAss2961]

How do you guard Klay, Durant and Steph? Draymond did as much as he could but couldn't get it done tonight.

Getting a big rebounder and rim protector would be like getting another Bogut and he's already there for one more season.

Bogut's just a big body at this point.

Whiteside would be the best pickup for them. Maybe even Dwight with all his baggage.

 

[nhlducks35]

 

[Bread]

Kyrie is the perfect complement to Lebron

Cleve for life!!!!

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Is it debatable that he wasn't fully healthy?

We said the same thing about our Cavs last year which were without our 2nd and 3rd best players and still pushed it to 6. Fuck being kinda unhealthy, Kyrie and Kevin WERE IN THE HOSPITAL FOR THE FINALS. People still shit in LeBron for losing another Finals.

Steph could at least play, and he poured in 30 in game 6 so keep the excuses to yourself. He was largely well guarded and got very few good looks from what has usually been a somewhat leaky perimeter defense. Not in this series. If you're hoping for 100% players in June, golf is the sport you want to follow.

In hindsight, perhaps they should have skipped trying to set that NBA record. They looked TIRED. The consequence of playing like 10 more games than the Cavs in the playoffs and quite a few more minutes at the end of the season in their pursuit of the record.

GG

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

ATHANK YOU CAVS
Finally, I lost hope with the idea when lebron left and we went through some bad years at least we got irving during it,BUT I believed you guys all the way this year.

 

[captmcblack]

At least prime Steph gets Lebron on the downside of his career. Lebron's game will deteriorate rather quickly from here.

Pre-prime Anthony Davis, Karl-Anthony Towns, Kristaps Porzingis and company should be ready to beat the brakes off of Curry and friends as teams get built around them. Crazy unicorn 7-foot ballhandling, high scoring defensive stalwarts with 3 point range are the wave now...

 

[DaMasta113]

Is it fair to say Lebron is just a more complete player than Steph?

I don't think that's ever been questioned.

 

[Fury451]

So is Love still getting traded?

His defense tonight was a huge part of why they won

He played like his contract depended on it.

I was impressed with his showing tonight, I really hope he stays, but he has to be more consistent which I'm uncertain of.

 

[friskykillface]

I still think Wade signs with the Cavs for one season

 

[Piecake]

Man, these reporters are begging Curry to excuse his play because of an injury.

Props to him that he didn't make any excuses

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

I want to see him truly test this by coming out tomorrow and endorsing Donald Trump for President.

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Omg Irving

Link to when it happened on GAF?

I wasn't posting during the game. I was too riveted to.

Go to the first quoted post

 

[Jmanunknown]

Do you guys think Lebron will stay in Cleveland after this?

He fulfilled his promise to Cleveland and he did talk about his super team with his friends. Who knows what he does now.

Do you guys think Curry is leaving Golden State? his contract is up

Curry has one more year on his deal and no he will not leave Golden State. He is gonna get paid though he is like the 5th highest paid player on the Warriors Bogut and Iguodala both made more than him this year.

 

[PrankT]

Curry seems too ok from his interview. I don't like it. Good face for the NBA though classy and answering all the questions.

He's doing a good job.

 

[SparkleMotion]

Bogut's just a big body at this point.

Whiteside would be the best pickup for them. Maybe even Dwight with all his baggage.

The only way the Warriors get Whiteside is if Miami gets LeBron or Durant. Doesn't seem like the MOST likely scenario.

I wish I knew, too much posts to tell.

 

[alr1ght]

And we get free fucking tacos!

 

[yuraya]

Lebron will have the final say on whether Varejao gets the ring and he will give it to him.

 

[StoopKid]

Truly a choke job.

 

[Big Baybee]

Couldn't watch the 4th quarter but how was Green after the loss? Please tell me he was salty.

 

[DaMasta113]

You misspelled Durant.
