If anyone can watch these finals (and last year's for that matter) and not see how much better LeBron is than everyone else on the floor, I don't know what to tell you.

Black Falcon.....0 fer 8 !
Got Kyrie right where he wants him
What percentage of Barnes' 3-point shots are contested? Maybe 10%? Curry, Thompson, and Green demand a great amount of attention - and whoever plays down low for GS would obviously have an easy bucket if a defender helped too much off of them. It seems logical to believe that Barnes gets more open looks than just about any starter in the NBA... He's a nice player, but he's not an alpha dog. He could still score 16-18 ppg as the #2 player for a lesser team, but I think his shooting percentages would go down quite a bit.
Harrison and bogus have been trash for GSW. Yet another bad game. Awful finals, I want good games.
Steph's antics don't allow me to root for him. Too many hand gestures, mouthpiece playing & smirking. Sorry Seth! Steph's wife became completely unglued last night as well. Why is a wife Tweeting during a game? I truly do not understand the 20's generation. You are at a game, take in the environment & stop staring at the darn phone. Twitter is hands down the dumbest invention ever.
Yes I'm sure it was quite an enjoyable environment for her IN CLEVELAND when her husbands team is getting throttled.
Understand the hostile environment but why Tweet? What is she going to accomplish by Tweeting "NBA is rigged"? This league has given the Curry's $100M+ & you're railing against that.
Social media seems so silly to me, go talk to a friend instead of typing into phone & sending a message out to people you do not know. Cracks me up that young generation believes their Twitter accounts actually matter.
Yea Curry's wife says the game was rigged to prolong the series to 7 games so to make more money. I think when the refs tossed Curry there were around 2.5 minutes and GS was behind 12 or 13. I wonder if she is a Tar Hole with that kind of thinking.
If you listen closely you can hear the sound of Harrison Barnes throwing out his tissue, it just hit the rim of the trash can and fell to the ground.....
Anyone else shudder last night when Kyrie looked like he hurt his foot.Brought back some bad memories because he was flexing it like he did when he got hurt at Duke
It's almost as if the team's that fall behind throw in the towel and save their energies for another day. There have not been very many close games these entire playoffs. Memorable performances, but not many close games. And if the Warriors don't win after having the regular season that they did, I worry that the league's regular season games will become fodder. The NBA is in a very precarious spot at the moment and it could really take off, or become a really bad product.
The NBA will only get better IMO, if not for anything else, because kids sren't playing football as much anymore.
I hope you're right! I can't stand Lebron at all. Charles Barkley made a statement after Game 3/4. He was asked about James charging in with his arm and what would happen if Lebron played in his day. Sir Charles said "it would only happen once."
Loved that statement!!!
I didn't really care for Lebron early in his career, but he has grown on me. I guess I'm old school since I pull for the guys that have been in the league for a long time. I prefer Lebron over Curry right now, I still think he's the best in the game. Therefore, I'm pulling for the Cavs. I think we're finally going to have a close game...outcome of less than 7 points between the two teams, at least I hope so.

Agreed..."Steph's antics" too much for me too...Heaven forbid if a Duke player were to throw something and hit a fan.ESPN would launch a "30-30." I really think Steph has gone overboard in some of his behavior....Has he committed a foul in the finals yet???!!
OFC
I pick the Cavs. Not because I have any clue who will win, but I'd love to see Kyrie and Dahntay get a Championship.
Don't get me wrong I love Kyrie. Hated to see him go out like he did at Duke but Lebron and Tristan make me wanna say a lot of bad things and punch someone with their behavior. I'm sure I'd be kicked out like Draymond but if the refs keep up the crappy calls, you may see Draymond drop the "People's Elbow" on Lebron.
It's funny how fans of one team view the officiating. I thought the officiating was bad both ways. Now to me, it seems like Lebron has players hanging on him any time he's within 3 feet of the basket. As far as Draymond, I think he's like a chihuahua ...all bark and no bite. I just hope we see a great close game!
No doubt. I chuckled at Kerr' whining in the post game about his guys being bumped and grabbed because the Warriors are a perpetual moving-screen machine. He expects his opponents to have to fight through that contact, but Steph and company should move unimpeded.
As bad as the Black Falcon is playing Jordan may trade 5 1st Round picks to GSW to get him.
jordan will sign him on potential. Potential of putting more tar heel fannies in those hornheel seats down in Charlotte. OFC
I agree Duke90, Labron takes quiet a beating when he goes to the basket but you know who took a real beating? Shaq, I used to feel sorry for the little fellow.

Only watched the last 11 seconds. Congrats to Dahntay and Kyrie, the latter went all Rivers on the Warriors.
Call me a homer all you want, lebron is simply a freak and deserves all the praise... But kyrie games 5-7 was a total and complete X factor! He deserves a lot of the praise as well!
I wonder if Kyrie will make the all-tournament team. Special thanks to harrison barnes for giving us satisfaction.
