Lue made good adjustments this series. HE coached really well. Being able to make rotation adjustments, and bench guys you counted on before (Delladova, Frye) when they weren't performing well is not something a lot of other coaches would do.

yeah i guess you're right. i forgot that Delly and Frye were benched. seemed to work out well for them.

Here's a hot-take question, what finals MVP turned in the best performance? LeBron led all players on both teams in Pts, Reb, Ast, Stl, Blk. Who's dominated like that?

LeBron had a great, great Finals (dude's been the best player in every Finals for 5 years in a row now which is insane) and Games 5-6 might be the greatest back-to-back performances we've ever seen. But MJ in '93 is probably on a different level

An underrated move by Coach Lue was pulling Kyrie and Love late in the forth which forced Lebron to look for his shot. They were crazy stagnant before and Lebron scored as soon as he did that.
 
Absolutely pathetic showing by Curry tonight

And apparently Andy&Elizhli combined for 1 point and 1 rebound tonight? wow

I feel like Ezeli single handedly lost this game for the Warriors tonight. He missed so many easy buckets, repeatedly. Couldnt rebound to save his life either.

This is actually a really great observation.

Thanks Scooter.

Jordan in '93 put up 41.0/8.5/6.3 over 6 games. LeBron was great in these finals, but that performance by Jordan was unbelievable.

Yeah, I was really impressed. He's clearly learning on the job (games 1-2 were pathetic), but down the stretch of the series they were exploiting the hell out GSW's switching D, and generally he was pushing the right buttons wrt substitutions.

Whoever got Love's head right for game 7 was crucial too.
 
Watching JR pour his heart out in the press conference

We love you JR

You did good

Idk if it's just because I'm still watching it all, but the Cavs' reactions this year, the general feeling, it all seems more personal.

I mean, all teams that have been champions are like that, but this one feels especially so. Congrats Cavs fans!

Duncan averaged 24 points, 17 boards, 5 assists and 5 blocks and almost had a quad-double in the clinching game against the Nets. Shaq had really awesome finala as well
