It is bizarre that we have back-to-back series in one postseason with blown 3-1 leads. And the Warriors were involved in both and came back from a 3-1 deficit and then lost a 3-1 lead. This has been the craziest NBA playoffs I've ever seen.
Yeah, but if LeBron goes on to lead the Cavs to win several titles, he may be in serious conversations of being better than MJ. I kind of suspect that MJ would secretly want LeBron to fail more than the Warriors to fail. BTW, Kevin Love still hasn't lost a playoffs series.
The Cavs went straight to XS nightswim in Vegas last night. Congrats on winning the ship. Definitely surprised me
LOLOLOL, Green should have been suspended in the OKC series when OKC was up 3-1, if Green was officiated correctly in this pansy Era of ball... It would have been OKC vs the Cavs. Also, Sorry we can't look the other way when it didn't happen in the series before. But, yes, Green would be better fit for 70s-90s. That last foul on LeBron was a good foul on the ball that you don't see often any more... Any other player takes that foul and it's probably a flagrant because of how weak this **** is, Curry would have broken in two (for example), then again Curry wouldn't even attempt that drive. Regardless though, GSWs choked/cracked at the wrong time. 73-9 doesn't mean **** now, and Cleveland finally got theirs. Also, LeBron was leading in every Stat, while Curry and team fell apart. First 3-1 recovery in Finals history, lol.
If LeBron leads the Cavs to a defense of this title, I'd put him up there with MJ. Right now, nothing can top a 6-0 Finals record and 2 three-peats along with all the MVP awards and dominant regular seasons. But LeBron is closing in fast the way he carried this team to a title over a 73-9 opponent and willed the Heat to that 2013 championship over the Spurs. As great as MJ was, he only had to carry the Bulls on his own to a title twice. In the 1993 Finals in Game 6 where he had all of his team's points in the 4th quarter before that Paxson 3-pointer and in the 1998 Finals in Game 6 where....well, go back and watch that last minute. He literally did everything out there on the court to clinch that title. I suppose you could include the "flu game" in 1997 against Utah, but even had the Bulls lost that one, they would've still been going back to the United Center down 3-2.
curry has a better chance of leading the warriors to repeat 73 and win the whole thing in the future. i believe it was hard for MJ to decide who to root for or against.

If you had a guess which cavs player would have his shirt off at the club, 10/10 people would guess JR Smith LOL. He's getting turnt.
Not sure how relevant this is. I've seen the Warriors fan boards, the Warriors FB feed and whatnot. What is the over/under % of GS fans that know at best broken-english and have almost no concept of actual basketball knowledge? 85%? In other words, complete bandwagoners who don't know basketball, just what they think is cool so they want to be cool too.
I totally missed the game. I flipped over in post-game and saw Lebron with a trophy in his hands being interviewed. I could not believe it. Glad to see Curry and the Warriors taste some of their own medicine they have been dissing out the last two seasons. They forgot what it feels like to lose. They needed a slice of humble pie. Lebron actually did what he set out to do...bring a championship to Cleveland. Props to him and the rest of the Cavs for coming back from down 3-1. Unbelievable.

what the cavs did last night was simply incredible. Sports reality sometimes is more crazy than fiction. Its why I love sports. Props to Kyrie - he really showed he belong as one of the NBA elites. Often times you forget about him as a PG with all the amazing guards in the league and being overshadowed in Cleveland with LeBron now and with the Cavs sucking prior. The guy is only going to get better and will lead this team soon enough. Not much I can say about LeBron that hasn't already been said. This guy is a once in a lifetime talent and it has been an absolute privilege to watch him play from a rookie to the beast he is now. Also - can't wait for the taiwanese news recap of this game
I'm happy for Kevin Love too. I don't think he's getting enough credit for that defense on Curry at the end.
