    Not cold blooded when you're leading and almost have the game in the bag.

    My pre-series Warriors in 6 prediction is still good.

    LeBron, Kobe, Durant, Westbrook, CP3, many more that you can switch with Curry and they'd do the same thing.

    Everything is easier when everyone is forced to stay home on their man on the perimeter.

    Lebron himself should be going to the line 34 times.

    damn that sucks for lebron. I was rooting for him. Sad to say this game determined the series. Iggy for finals MVP.

    What a forgettable finals lol. So called "one of the greatest teams of all time" struggling game after to gameto beat an undermanned team full of scrubs and one great player who gets by on just waiting for that team to run out of gas.

    Not a forgettable finals at all. You're watching one of the greatest individual playoff performances in a series in history.

    If Draymond Green got injured or didnt play for Golden State their season would be over. He's obviously the x factor and MVP that makes this Warriors team go.

    Warriors have more depth. But why do they still get the majority of the calls? Call it evenly. JVG and Mark Jackson even called out many bad calls or no calls.

    Gotta feel for Lebron. Doing all that he can, Cleveland is cursed.

    As for Curry, man, this dude is crazy.

    He can shoot and he can boogie one on one at the 3 pt line and hit at 60% clip. But he can't "kill" double teams. You don't "kill" double teams. You make the right pass and hope your teammates find the open man and that open man hits his open shot. The Warriors did that, and Curry got some single coverage. Every superstar can light it up against single coverage. Every.

    in the end, team ball beats individual brilliance.

    The fact that lebron has carried his team this far puts him up there with the all time greats in my book even if he loses in the finals this year.

    Lebron's Cavs are giving a fully stacked and healthy Warriors team a hell of a fight despite the fact that they're missing 2 All-Stars in Love and Irving and their starting center in Varejao solely because Lebron has completely put the team on his back.

    I was a HUGE Lebron hater after "The Decision" but man, greatness speaks for itself.

    Congrats Golden State. You didn't let the fact that you have a contact shy spot up shooter for a PG stop you. You didn't let the fact that technically all the screen you set are illegal stop you. Everything that stood in your way, you side stepped perfectly. Congrats.

    LOL, some of the guys here are so ridiculous. What you expect Refs to do? Call a foul on GS everytime LeBron drove inside?

    Of course Refs missed some calls, but based on replays GS played pretty good defense too.
