OT: NBA Finals: Cavs v. Warriors
- Thread starter Absolute Zero
- Start date
No point arguing, I see Lebron run full speed into curry. Calling that clean is mind boggling to me but agree to disagree.

holy crap... GS gets ANOTHER HUGE CALL with NO foul on Thompson AND he touches the ball WHILE OUT OF BOUNDS?!?!? No way... no freaking way.

Then James traveled on that inbounds.
Unbelievable

The man is incredible.
and I don't mean LeBron I mean Dellevadova. That falling down 3 point play was the dagger.
At least Steph got his mojo back, even barking at LeBron at the end.
Obviously LeBron is insanely good .
At least the Warriors showed heart. If I'm Kerr I have a much quicker hook next game with Barnes, and I use Lee quite a bit again.

Agreed. Lee was a major reason for the late swing in the game.

no. I still expect GS to win, probably in 7 now. I just can't believe LeBron can keep this ridiculousness up. He's incredible but he's freaking Atlas right now, carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Eventually, he's going to shrug.

No. Warriors showed life in the 4th quarter, including Curry finding his jump shot. It was only a matter of time before they broke out of their lull. Unfortunately for GS, it cost them two games, but I think they may have figured things out.

But that's the thing, he is being LeBron, and Golden State doesn't have a LeBron, and he'll still be LeBron in the next games too. Golden State doesn't have an answer, or anyone with the playoff experience he has.
And he is getting help from others around him who are playing with a lot of confidence, JR Smith 10 pts tonight, Dellavadova 20, T. Thompson, another double double, all of which is huge in these low scoring games.
Kerr is going to have to try something different, maybe more doubles on LeBron, I don't know. But what they are doing isn't working.

Doubling Lebron leaves jump shooters open all over the floor. You can't leave JR Smith, James Jones, Della, or Mike Miller wide open. Press him at half court to get the ball out of his hands and force him to go left.

I know a lot of people hate LeBron, but I just don't get it. Watching him just now with Wade, the guy just seems like a solid dude. Sure, he made a complete ass of himself with THE DECISION, but that was years ago. All the guy does is EVERYTHING on the court and off it. He's the best player in the game, he's the best teammate in the game and even off the court, the guy stands up for social issues. what's not to like?

Save your breath. Trying to convert a Lebron hater is like trying to change someone's views on circumcision, abortion, and vaccinations.

I don't know... I wasn't necessarily a hater, but I definitely questioned his ability to ever truly be one of the best ever after that Shawn Marion tortilla like performance he dropped in the Dallas Finals. But it's literally impossible for me at this point to see the guy as anything but one of the all time legends of the game.

I have no hate for LeBron.
Still think the Warriors get it together.
James has a chance to stick the dagger in next game

Yeah, I agree with this.
For all the talk about the Cavs awesome D, and they HAVE played very tough, the Warriors really missed a lot of open shots they will normally do much better with in both games 2 and 3. Especially in the first half tonight. If they make about half of those they win both games pretty easily and this series is a rout.

Welcome to Amareca
Lebron is basically averaging 41/12/8 against a 67 win team coming out of the West that is ranked #2 on offense and #1 on defense.
The Warriors this season are in all-time territory as far as great teams go and Lebron has them 2-1 losing one game in OT and none of his teammates are more than backup material. Tristan Thompson being your #2 guy.
If Lebron can pull off the miracle to beat these Warriors even the critics will have a tough time keeping Lebron out of the GOAT conversation, though really it is not like he needs to win these finals to be in that.
