NBA Finals thread

[GregC]

It's closer now, 11. Putting Love back in late in third was a huge mistake, Thompson went nuts on him and cut lead from 17 to 9.

 

[GregC]

Also, Curry needs to quit crying about that (correct) no-call.

 

[D M C]

If the Cavs win this game, and I believe they will, then they will win the series on LBJ's willing it so.

 

[GregC]

Game 7, here we go!

I would have died laughing if Green picked up one or more technicals just moments after Curry's meltdown.

 

[D M C]

I believe that the GSWs should go ahead and concede the NBA championship to the Cavaliers because, you know... sportsmanship.

I don't believe they will.

 

[John D Harris]

It's all about who wants to win the most; at this point, it looks like CC does.
Will GSW show up for Game 7?
I hope so.

 

[kesslari]

Yeah, Cleveland wanted it more tonight, and look like they want it more overall.
I don't know about the no-call, but the last call on Curry should have been a no-call. But that's how the game bounces. Refs are human too, not every call (or no-call) is right, and it generally evens out overall.

 

[slobake]

The Cavs won because they played the best. Refs make bad and or close calls, players or coaches complian. That is bastetball.
If the calls go against the home team some fans cry foul. If we the calls go against the opposing team some fans talk about cry babies.
That's the way it is.

LeBron has a chance to cement his legacy in Game 7. Take it over and prove you're one of the best.

i think Curry knows who the real MVP is, regardless. CC are in a rhythm right now, but it should be a close one.

 

[D M C]

It's proving to be a much better series than what the first three games promised, last night's blowout notwithstanding. I hope it's a close game, well fought, and that the refs stay the hell out of the decision.

 

[Immigrant]

I started the series neutral and maybe leaned a little towards the Dubs a little, but I'm rooting for the Cavs now.

Lebron is a big man. He is just big. A freak. Kind of like Ali, big but in proportion. Most big people aren't in proportion, but Lebron is.

I want to have his baby.

 

[Marial]

I haven't paid attention to the NBA since the great Lakers/Celtics series way back when, but I sure hope the Cavs can take the championship back to Cleveland.

No doubt that James has been the most dominant player in the series. He is a great athelete.
The next question is can the Warriors turn it around and be the best team. Sure LeBron deserves MVP but I'll bet he wants the championship even more.
LeBron has also been impressive in post game interviews. When he mentioned his respect for the Warroirs he even mentioned Green.
The whole season comes down to one game. I hope it is a great game. Sure I want the Warroirs to win but either way it been a great season for both teams.
Not a lot of love from me for fans getting ugly with players from opposing teams.

Sure LeBron deserves MVP but I'll bet he wants the championship even more.

This playoff season has appeared to me to be a big Shakespearean drama playing out in Lebron's head. He's conflicted: People have repeatedly told him Hero Ball can't win championships, he needs to play more Team Ball, so for much of the playoffs he's been looking to pass rather than score. And it ultimately backed the Cavs into a corner. So then Lebron decides "Screw it!" and he plays Hero Ball for a couple games and lo & behold it's a real series that comes down to one game. What's Lebron gonna do for game 7, Hero Ball or Team Ball? If he's been paying attention to the Warriors, and history (especially his own) ...he should still be conflicted!

I wonder what LeBron said to Curry after blocking his shot? I have no problem with that I have talked smack myself when playing sports. I'm guessing Curry had no problem with it either. Maybe it will be one more thing to incite Curry in game seven.

i wouldn't talk smack to Curry or James!

No, but if you were James or Curry, you could.

 

[slobake]

i wouldn't talk smack to Curry or James!

Especially James, that is one big guy.

 

[slobake]

No, but if you were James or Curry, you could.

They have earned the right to talk smack to each other.
