    Yeah. LeBron needs more help.
    That being said. I think he shoots better in the next two or three games.

    I still don't think Cleveland wins, but glad its not a sweep.

    So the final verdict is we are giving leBron a pass on the 39/11/16 game? The real factor is Curry shot like **** which is what he has done a few times in the playoffs so far amirite?

    Some do, nobody's saying you need to.
    The point is that some dirty players deserve even more hating than others...when they are dirty, dip$hit, douchebags on and off the court.

    If you don't get it then meh, oh well.

    Look at this clown from the NY media. Obvious he doesn't watch Harden or Rockets games if he thinks that's how Harden draws fouls

    I cannot believe how much the refs screwed the pooch in this game. How the hell do you miss Lebron effing James getting hacked like that? and then to see Green pull down Lebron during the jumpball, noone calls it? to top it off, they tried to hard to give the game to the Warriors with that bs call on J R Smith. I absolutely hate that call, and wish they would change it to offensive charging or something next season if you jump into someone

    LOL.

    I admit Harden does on occassion rely on the rip through or shooter contact fouls, but a lot of his fouls are legitimate. Defenders reach in and hack the **** out of his arms.

    He's a moron. Steph Curry draws contact like that, Harden takes hits in the lane.

    Definitely an upgrade even if Delly doesn't re-sign.

    Querstion.

    If Lebron, with no Love, no Irving and Matthew Delivehdovum as his second best player somehow beats this fully healthy Warriors team who people is saying is one of the best teams of all time, not too mention with the refs on their side, where does that put Lebron all time??

    The Warriors have done the impossible and made me root squarely for Lebron to punish these fools in 5 games

    I have a feeling you're gonna be very salty at the end of this season.

    Did anyone think the Spurs were going to dominate the next 3 games last year? Most people thought the Heat were locks after that split.

    Difference is LeBron has shot like that a few times recently. Steph hasn't.

    Harden rarely pump fakes and jumps into a defender. He takes a shot when he has a defender crowding him, and the defender is basically already in line for the foul call. Not even remotely the same scenario.

    The reason the Cavs may have a chance is defense, low turnovers, and offensive rebounds.

    I seem to remember they DID change that rule to a no call a long time ago.

    Ayyyy lol.
    You could be salty as well.

    Don't even bother rooting for the Rockets next season bro. Clutchfans has no place for transplant Cali fans. ;)
    Seriously tho, how are you going to root for Cali? Cali is douche state central. (Dallas is douche city central).

    Its Rockets or bust. Any team that beats the Rockets deserves to burn in hell yo.

    Steph's performance tonight was almost as bad as Harden's in game 5 of the WCF

    GSW doesn't have Tim Duncan. Spurs get their 3s from the post and penetration.

    GSW gets their 3s from penetration and ball movement, but the Cavs have perimeter defenders for that.

    I expect the Warriors to play much better. But I also expect Lebron to shoot much better. He's missing a ton of easy shots aroudn the rim.

    In game 2, the cavs were like 1-25 on 2nd chance points or something like that.

    Wow, didn't realize until BSPN just showed

    Curry missed more 3ptFGs than any other player in any other Finals game including "Rockets legend" John Starks.:grin:

    BSPN calling out Curry for sucking? No way.

    This isn't the BSPN I know.
