    Bogut loves grabbing opponent arms and they need to call those moving screens.

    Don't worry - that guy is irrational and malapropistic. I think he meant to say you are realistic, not sadistic.

    Go back and read the way you stated that other posted. It's like you are hollering at the top of your lungs and sweating while trying to plead your case... "What has he done to deserve so much ...." LOL That's ****in' sadistic dude and you need help.

    Naah, Harden had a better performance in the regular season than Lebron did.

    However, the playoffs are a different story. Lebron is the best player in the playoffs; he's the best player in the whole league. Warriors don't know how to stop him.

    It's disheartening to see Lebron and the ragtag Cavs play the HOU brand of basketball better than we do. And they can shoot FTs (so unfair!)

    Lebron in the Harden role
    Mozgov/Thompson in the Howard role
    Shumpert in the Ariza role
    Delly in the PatBev role
    Smith in the Smith role (?) in terms of bipolar games
    Jones, Miller all 3pt shooters

    The Rox always had the Cav's number in every matchup but then again Lebron takes it to a whole new level come PlayOffs while Harden mostly under performs.

    on 35+ shots...... Everyone here who thinks Lebron is playing some masterful offensive game this Finals is besides themselves.. But I will give Lebron the credit of being more focused and motivated than Harden.

    The ONLY reason CLE even has a remote shot is b/c of their team defense.

    Having a healthy Beverley would've been a game-changer in that series. Curry is great but proved he can be stopped (not just contained, but stopped).

    Even without Bev, we could put Brewer in the starting lineup as a guy who can chase him along in addition to Ariza. Still can't believe McHale never took Terry out of the starting lineup.

    You can't win MVP over guy that played 81 games and carried his team to a 2 seed in the West, while LeBron took weeks off.

    Robert Horry compared Iversons Sixers to LeBron Cavs. That sound about right?

    Im done rooting for the Warriors to win, I already knew they get away with a lot but this is just ridiculous, Lebron was fouled at least twice on that last play in regulation. I didnt see the travel some claim was obvious..go Cavs!

    Even if Curry wasn't injured, LeBron's rings would still have an asterisk because Jordan is retired.

    That's how it works, right?

    REAL MVPs don't have sub par games in the playoffs. Or at least that's what we heard every time Harden wasn't amazing.

    When people post things like this it makes me wonder how long they've been watching basketball. Having a great regular season often means nothing in the post-season. Give mouth love to the Dubs all you like, but this season still looks like a fluke. Have them play the Grizzlies, Rockets, or Cavs at full strength and what they did in the regular season wouldn't help them.

    Yeah, having an elite defense and elite offense means nothing. Just doesn't!


    what are you smoking, exactly?

    Yeah that offense looked "elite" last night against a bare bones Cavs squad....

    I understand that there are bandwagoners, but this Warriors team isn't special, other than the fact that they've stayed healthy and have played teams missing key starters.

    He's right, they got away with so much the first 2 games. Rox would have been up 3-2 after game 5 if the game was even moderately called fairly.

    Remember all those seasons when the San Diego Chargers had an "elite offense" and "elite defense"?
