Re: Who you got: NBA Finals Addition
It's amazing to me the Warriors could come out two straight games so poorly. Show up for the fucking games. It's the NBA finals. Games 5 and 6 were over by the end of the 1st quarter.

Iggy's back injury is making it easier for LeBron, but this is still a good defensive team he is doing this against.
Speaking of Iggy...what a warrior! I had to get up and take a couple Aleve because I was in pain just watching him. I can't believe he is out there.
Yeah, last couple games by James have been huge. Curry is the best shooter of all time, but there is no question who the better two-way player is.
You have to believe Golden State is favored to win Game 7, but if Iggy can't go and with Bogut already out.....then it gets a lot harder.
Yes 2 back to back terrific performances from Lebron. If we get another one of those in game 7 anything could happen.
Yes Q if they lose Bogut and Iggy not healthy that's big. Back spasms come and go hopefully Iggy can go.
I'll give Lebron credit for being classy when Sager asked him about being driven to beat Curry MVP etc. Also he had a cool moment there with Sager at the end. It's clear people really love that guy.

Very true. Golden State is a stifling defensive team when Bogut, Klay, Iggy, Livingston and Green are all healthy, but only average when one or two of them are out...and LeBron knows how to exploit an only average defense.
On the other hand, with JR Smith playing the surprising kind of defense he has been playing most of the playoffs and Love on the bench, the Cavs give the Warriors fits on defense. Love's foul problems made Lue's rotation decisions much easier tonight, but he won't be so lucky next game. It will be interesting to see how much Lue plays Love in Game 7 when he isn't in foul trouble.

LeBron's dominated this entire series on both ends of the floor leaving little doubt who the best player in the world is. What a performance tonight. Winning Game 7 on the road will be challenging, but the Cavs have seemed to have clicked and figured out this group. Coming out of the gate fast and furious and putting GS in a hole early. There was no doubt who wanted this game more tonight. Cleveland played with so much energy.

Steve Kerr coming in hot in the post game presser. Hope he put away some extra money to cover the fine.

He's definitely been the best player in this series and playoffs. He's also the best player of his generation. Sunday is a BIG night for him.
Re: Who you got: NBA Finals Addition
LeBron was incredible tonight. He's a physical phenomenon. We've never seen such an incredible combination of great strength/size, terrific athleticism, high basketball IQ and broad range of skills. It's an unparalleled package.
The Warriors should win game 7, but with Iggy hurting and LeBron playing the way he is, you can't count out the Cavs.

The NBA hasn't been this great since the Bird/Magic era. Although the games have been strange it is great to see a game 7. Should be fun.
And go Wolves. I am chomping at the bit to see us in the mix.

Fewer of us had the Cavs winning it all since the start of the playoffs. ;) I am happy to see a game 7. Even though I dislike him, I want to see Love step it up in game seven. Tonight was a perfect primer for a big game Sunday. The NBA is far and away the greatest sport, this season is only going to generate more fans and revenue. No wonder we all stay so passionate about a 30 win team.

How bad do you feel for the hapless city of Cleveland? How much do you guys want a Game 7 back in Oakland? Well, you can do something to make it happen and bring some joy back into the lives of poor Clevelandites. Please be generous and do what you can to help.
Is there anyway they do not trade him after this series and the media/fan reaction? Even if they win?
