For those that think Curry's on LeBron's level, let this game be my proof that he's not even close.

There's no where for GS to drive and when they get to the rim they don't get very many calls. That's what switching does to an offense. The only way to beat it is to drop off the pass to the screen setter and play the 2 on 1 at the rim, but that's not there when they play small and the guy is on the 3 point line in the corner instead of the block. Iggy and Draymond couldn't really take advantage of the switch either. They aren't particularly good post players.

To me it seems they are looking for the 3 as a first option every time down the floor. It's a huge weapon for them obviously, but they need to mix in some post play to make the 3 game more effective. I think they've become too easy to guard at this point,.

Ding ding ding. This is what I see as well, and it's not just a one game/one series thing. That's Golden State basketball, and I hate it.

You're right. One game clearly defines how Steph is no where near Lebron. Lebron has never played a bad game.

It has nothing to do with Steph's box score tonight. It's that LeBron just carried a team with their best players being J.R. Smith, Timofey Mosgov, Matt Dellavadova and Tristan Thompson to an NBA Finals win. There's no other player in the world that can do that and you're fooling yourself if you think otherwise. LeBron's the most dominant player of this past decade because he can win by himself, essentially. That's why I argued he's in a class by himself.

Could Curry do the same? No. That's not to shame him, but he's just not that guy. Never will be that guy.

He beat a team on an off night. That happens all the time. I'll give Lebron props if he legitimately beats a Warriors team that plays well. So far he's 1-1 against two subpar performances. He was literally a missed dunk from Speights away from losing tonight's game.

A win is a win is a win is a win, etc.

I don't need to know how the Warriors lost, just that they did. And LeBron is doing everything and then some for the Cavs.

So when the Cavs lose this series you won't argue the context because a loss is a loss right? Or does that only matter when it supports your argument.

I'm not the biggest LeBron fan, but I've been rooting for him and the cavaliers since the hawk series. He's carrying teams with 1/3 the talent of their opponents. 30+ pts, 15 rebounds, 12ish assists seems like something he can and will do any night to win. I enjoy basketball and we are llucky to witness what he is doing right now. I wish he had made that game winning layup, but it made for dramatic basketball with LeBron actually getting jobbed on a few calls and them still pulling it out in overtime.

LeBron has matured a lot since his self-aggrandizing "Decision" years ago. He's much more likeable these days, especially as the underdog.

Regardless if the Cavs win or lose, the fact they are even being competitive in this series is amazing to me. It's LeBron and a bunch of role players. Hell, the Warriors' bench might be better than the guys LeBron is playing with, yet he's making it a series. Amazing.
