    You can make an argument that present Dirk is better than present Love

    Just because Draymond acts like a douche on the court doesn't mean he's any more of a "fighter." I mean, he may be, I just don't think you can tell by watching basketball. Lebron is very conscientious about his image and brand, and likely goes out of his way to avoid antagonistic behavior on the court.

    Or the warriors might be the greatest team in the history of the NBA. Curry sucks they win by 20. Curry can also erupt. 1-9 they might be the deepest team ever.

    You're right, with the attention that James and Irving draw, Dirk would flat out shoot lights out and then get into an unstoppable streak. The thing about Dirk is that high release point as a seven footer, just completely demoralizes because nobody can get to it. Too bad Durant is not as a good as shooter overall. This is no knock on Curry and Thompson but their respective size makes any opponent think they have a chance to contest.

    Yes, I've watched every playoff game Lebron has played.
    This series? A mentally weak coward that won't drive to the rim.
    We've seen this b4. Afraid to get blocked and shoot free throws.

    Because trading for 2 for 1.8 (90% on two free throws) doesn't close a 6-7 point gap nearly quickly enough. It would take 32-33 possessions to close the gap at that rate and you have like...3 possessions? Maybe 4. If you want even a tiny shot at a miracle, you need to fire up threes and hope they miss a few free throws.

    As far as Games 1-4, the only Finals series that had blowouts like that was back in 2005 between San Antonio and Detroit...SA by 15, SA by 21, DET by 17, and DET by 31.

    If you can magically swap Love and Green then the Cavs win.

    73-9.
    OKC was up 3-1.
    There is no beating this team.

    Curry and Klay didn't show up in the first two games and Cleveland still lost.

    Ok, if that is your absolute perspective of LeBron then why do you expect more? If he's such a coward, then why do you hold him to higher standards?
    Stop dodging questions; you're the only coward here.

    The amount of player only haters on Clutchfans is absolutely pathetic. Curry, LeBron, Kobe, Draymond, Lin, etc. Grow up.
    This place has turned into a cesspool of manchildren and actual children trolling the forums and preventing any sort of quality discussion.

    Bunch of idiotic personas and characters and one dimensional posters in every single subforum.

    Fun fact; the Cavs had 38 shots in the second half. Kyrie and Lebron took 33 of them

    You clearly have strong feelings about sports.

    I can't believe how many people actually believed the Cavs had a chance to win this series. Once again it was obvious the WCF was actually the NBA finals, as it has been for most of the last 20 years.

    According to a source familiar with the spat between LeBron James and Draymond Green, the trigger word was DG calling James a "b*tch"

    Draymond needs to be suspended, right? This nut shot was as blatant as it gets.
