    Lebron mad because his crown has been taken from him..Lebron can maybe apologize to Pat Riley and just maybe he can go back with the Heatles.

    LeBron was NEVER a good jump shooter on a consistent basis. That's why SA would ALWAYS live with him taking jump shots (even going back to his rookie year). Only time his jumpers were really effective was Game 7 vs SA in 2013.

    They will point to that stretch in the 3rd when Love couldn't get a rebound over Varejao as the reason they lost this game. Probably not fair, but it's Love's fault.

    Cavs still with a chance because GS not playing well. This was a winnable game. Still in it.
    Seems like both series were turned on iso mode.

    Yup, why drive in and score the 2 points with that little time to go?..Klay and Steph hardly miss FTs.

    All he ever does. Let him have the stats. There is a reason he's the best player in the league yet has 5 NBA finals losses.

    Who else has ever accomplished such a failure?

    Top 5 for now, but if he doesn't develop a reliable jumper, he won't remain there for long. He can't blow by or overpower defenders anymore when attacking the basket. The Warriors were giving him the outside shot because they know he doesn't have confidence in it.

    Lebron became a good jump shooter for a while even before he left Cleveland. Isn't wasn't his bread and butter but it opened up a lot more for him than is currently offered. He basically just drives to the hoop for all of his points anymore. He definitely used to be able to light it up with jumpers and could also kill his team with the jumper, now he doesn't have a jumper at all.

    they really need to stop this stat padding garbage time every game within 12 pts has.

    Should've never went back. :p

    Now he's bound to Cleveland until he retires or wins at least one.

    He could leave but would again face backlash.

    3-1, this is all but over.

    LeBron is still very good/great but obviously getting older as the years go by here. 12th year; 6th straight year playing into June, that adds up!

    Kevin Love - what are you gonna do there? What are you trading him for? Package of role players? Picks? Picks don't help now.

    Kyrie Irving? The guy he went back to Cleveland for? Left Wade for Irving. Now you're gonna trade him? CP3 for Irving is the fantasized trade but that's not happening, is it? I don't think so.

    I don't know where they go or what they do to get over the hump known as the Western Conference.

    I guess all James players do this.

    Curry and LeBron look like they had monster games after those free points the last minute. Curry at the FT line and LeBron just walking it in for uncontested layups

    If they are just letting you get 2 points, why not? He's uncontested dunks are 100%, their FT are at best 90%.

    This season is Lebron's worst 3 point percentage since his rookie season. Lebron had a better jump shot than what he's displayed this year and that's his biggest decline.

    Cavs really lost their focus on defense. Way too many mistakes guarding Curry in the 2nd half and they stopped moving together on offense. I'm convinced Shumpert is stealing 10m a year from the cavs at this point. He's been the worst player on the floor every game.
