Congrats to the Cavs. Congrats to the Warriors too on a great season. Both teams are a class act.
What a GREAT game!
I won't say the same for Cleveland fans. Remember how you booed the Warriors last year when they beat you? The anonnocers and the players could barely be heard over your booing. Did you see/hear how G.S. Fans responde to the loss? That's all I'm saying.

IMO. this puts LeBron on the road to the rarified air of, dare I say, "legend."

I think if LeBron wins even one more with the Cavs, he goes beyond superstar and into legend. For some, he may already be there. And I say this as someone who, while not a LeBron hater, is not a LeBron fan. I just have to give credit where credit is due.

I said to a friend at half that I would take that score given the huge disparity in three-point shooting. I was hoping for reversion to the mean in the second, and we saw some.

1st half: GS 10 of 21. Cle: 1 of 14.
2nd half: GS: 5 of 20. Cle: 5 of 11.

I've come around pretty hard to his side during this series. Those were not crocodile tears after the game. That dude is the real deal. Forget anyone still hung up on the Decision; sure it was kinda lame but he gave all the money to charities. And this makes 7 straight finals appearances with 3 wins with MVP in all the wins, and 4 all around MVPs. He's pretty legend now, and is probably going to become even more so.

GSW didn't fold like they did in games 5 & 6, but they fell apart in the last couple of minutes of the game.
That many good looks at 3pt shots by Curry, Klay, Iguodala, & Green just missed them all: live by 3's :: die by 3's.

LBJ & Kyrie were both deserving of the win.
- didn't think I'd be saying that!

Curry needs to grow up a bit - I think he will!

It just shows how passionate the Cavs fans are. They have been waiting a long time for a championship so I kind of understand their frustration last year (me being a hockey Canucks fan...xD)

But yeah, GS fans showed much more respect and sportsmanship in general. Props to them and their organization. One hell of a basketball team.
