    That last minute was crap. Lebron is a great player but it definately seemed to me like the refs were favoring the Cavs.

    He was pretty much playing football out there. Blocking players and moving through them.

    Wow. Of course he made that.

    Poor Raptors. They need to break up that team.

    He's beaten up on the entire East but Indiana & Toronto [especially] have to be tired of this guy already.

    Haha how sweet it is.

    Toronto, keep on keeping on being the laughing stock of the East when it matters most.

    There have been some pretty bad flame outs and disappointing exits this playoffs (Toronto, Philly, Bucks, Thunder, Blazers) but still I feel Harden gets flack for a couple bad games more than any of these teams.

    Hard to believe this is the same Toronto team that win 55+ games. In the past 3 years.Why they didn't full court press or double LeBron in that last possession? So stupid.

    You can see Korver clearly moving his feet to continue to move his body into Ibaka. Everything I've been told about basketball from junior high was that you have to be set to place a screen. Yet nothing from the comentators about that or a complaint from Toronto..

    lmao yah westbrook, lillard, giannis, simmons/embiid will not be labeled playoff chokers like harden.

    I still see people saying that houston is playing shaky and harden isn't trustworthy. well harden's playoff stats are amazing and rockets are 6-2 with 4 of the 5 of the 6 wins being 20 point blowouts.

    Why is this a joyful moment for you? Lebron is going to make it to another ECF. More of the same.

    I am shocked by Toronto. Wow, in the playoffs they shrink with pressure. I thought it was their year to get to the finals.

    Could have trapped him from the inbounds...and bank on the fact that from 80' away, if he passes you can still track down all the role player shooters.

    But main thing, imo, was CJ Miles (who was closest help defender in the corner) lost track of time and didn't realize he could have helped, because there wasn't enough time for Lebron to pass to Korver and shoot. All you really have to do is bank on the fact that Lebron knows the time and timed a buzzer-beater, so leave you man AND HELP!!!

    I don't think there is anyway a GSW help man wouldn't have had the presence to know there wasn't enough time for anything but Bron to shoot, so ... HELP!!
