Warriors in 5

they're healthy and too deep for Cleveland to keep up with

and they have 4 players to throw at Lebron

6/4/2015 8:41:10 PM

Sounds about right. If Lebron can do this I'm all in with him as best ever.

6/4/2015 8:48:26 PM

for sure

6/4/2015 8:50:14 PM

I see Golden State in 6 or 7. Lebron is still a baller and I don't see Golden State steamrolling them.

6/4/2015 8:58:14 PM

I can only imagine how loud that building will be. It was nuts 80% full in a mid January game with Mike Dunleavy on the team...

6/4/2015 9:02:48 PM

it won't happen, but if Bogut plays at this level for 4 games, it'll be a sweep

dude is doing everything so far

Well lebron is cementing himself as the greatest ever

6/4/2015 10:13:51 PM

He'd have to win a lot of titles to do that. Even if you win more than 6, Jordan never lost in the Finals. That's why Montana is the best QB, no Super Bowl losses. Lebron would have to win a Bill Russell number of titles to cement himself as the GOAT.

6/4/2015 10:21:26 PM

Doesn't feel the same without the Finals logo on the court.

^what's the story with that?

a tradition unlike any other

6/4/2015 10:45:28 PM

I don't know but I liked that big ass trophy they had at center court under the team logo.

6/4/2015 10:45:55 PM

Lebron sure loves pushing off.

6/4/2015 10:49:21 PM

Lebron getting hacked and bumped everytime he touches the ball and everyone is outraged the refs are calling it.

6/4/2015 10:49:32 PM

It's not "getting hacked" when you drive your forearm into a guys chest.

6/4/2015 10:51:29 PM

I said greatest ever not most titles ever.


No one has ever won with a team this bad

[Edited on June 4, 2015 at 10:56 PM. Reason : Robert horry aint the best ever]

6/4/2015 10:55:28 PM

99% of the time the defender leans an arm or shoulder into James' body before the push off. He can't be stopped without them doing it. It's a foul everytime.

6/4/2015 10:55:48 PM

He gets away with charging. Just part of the nbas dumb rules. Thats why i want to keep college the way it is.

[Edited on June 4, 2015 at 10:59 PM. Reason : Legalize defense]

6/4/2015 10:57:14 PM

Lol at lebron complaining to the refs because he dribbled the ball off his foot.

6/4/2015 10:57:43 PM

That said I don't care and I'm going to bed.

^
Lol yep

Lebron might be the most athletic player in NBA history

But saying he's the best basketball player ever shows that you probably started watching the NBA this century

6/4/2015 11:15:29 PM

or that he's probably the most gifted basketball player ever

6/4/2015 11:19:55 PM

Hes not even close to the most skilled but taking everything into consideration intangibles like leadership and making everyone else better puts him over the top

6/4/2015 11:23:27 PM

What the fuck is thompson doing throwing that shit up on such an important possession?

6/4/2015 11:26:39 PM

that's what I call "shooting for a foul"

making a shot isn't the goal. getting the ref to blow the whistle is

6/4/2015 11:28:28 PM

Golden state better get a 2 for 1 of they want to win

6/4/2015 11:30:29 PM

I know if you're in a "worst case we go to overtime" situation it's not as critical as when you're trailing...but wow, a fadeaway 3? For the GOAT?

6/4/2015 11:34:56 PM

calm down, Skip

6/4/2015 11:42:32 PM

You're right, a fadeaway 3 pointer is an efficient shot selection. Above questioning on the Wolf Web.

6/4/2015 11:44:13 PM

it's not like it was an uncontested shot. he was defended into it.

6/4/2015 11:50:40 PM

The GOAT keeps calling for the ball and bricking threes in a crucial situation.

6/4/2015 11:51:50 PM

He's never been as aggressive a player as a fan would like to see in crunchtime.

^^could've driven to the basket...but sometimes he gets in the habit of settling for jumpers

[Edited on June 4, 2015 at 11:53 PM. Reason : .]

6/4/2015 11:52:21 PM

again, Iguodala was guarding him perfectly and he took the only shot he had

6/5/2015 12:00:46 AM

It was an isolation play for the best player on the planet against a 31 year old AI. Watch the reply and type with a straight face that he was forced into that shot and he didn't settle for it.

6/5/2015 12:28:50 AM

Try watching it again with a gay face and tell me he isnt as if not more hung than MJ.

6/5/2015 12:33:02 AM

Nah mj obviously wouldve shot 100%

6/5/2015 1:20:41 AM

Think as a TEAM the Cavs play better without Kyrie, otherwise its ISOs for him and Lebron...

When Deladova is in, they play a better team game, much more ball movement but less defense.

6/5/2015 1:28:31 AM

Actually, not having Kyrie on the court might make them better defensively.

I think they're fucked without him though. They need as much shooting as possible around Lebron. If Kyrie misses any games and Lebron somehow forces this to go more than 5 games it will be one of the greatest individual performances in finals history.

If I told you that a team that started some mixture of JR Smith, Shumpert, Deladova, Mozgov, Thompson, and Lebron would even make the finals let alone win a game you'd tell me I was high on crack.

6/5/2015 5:05:44 AM

This will be over in 4 games. Last night will be the best game of the series. Only chance Cleveland has is GSW going ice-cold or Curry getting hurt.

6/5/2015 7:36:03 AM

I was actually pretty impressed with Irving's D last night. He definitey went all out and did a decent job of staying in front of whoever he was guarding and wasn't a complete clusterfuck on screens like he usually is.

Cleveland wasted a huge opportunity last night. Lebron had a great game, Irving stepped up...decent games from Shumpert and the big guys....but Smith laid an egg. He's going to have to play really well for them to take a couple game. Don't see it being enough unfortunately.

This is such a stupid stat. What about the years Jordan didn't make the playoffs?

Lebron carrying the cavs in 07 to the finals should be a plus on his resume, not a subtraction.

LeBron is top 5 but not GOAT. Most athletic of all time maybe, actually that maybe Westbrook. Most gifted of all-time.

6/5/2015 12:06:28 PM

After watching game 1, I would say Warriors in 6.

6/5/2015 3:13:45 PM

Cavs in 5

6/5/2015 5:04:16 PM

Irving done with fractured knee cap

6/5/2015 5:30:12 PM

congrats to the Warriors for winning the 2015 NBA Championship

6/5/2015 5:32:35 PM

IT'S RIGGED AMIRITE! this is not even fair. The Warriors are basically playing Lebron for the rest the finals. This isn't the Spurs heat series. Titans going against each other. Just imagine the case if Shumpert his that shot then there would be no overtime. And Irving wouldn't have got hurt.

Hopefully Lebron already paid off the refs bc he can't go for 44 every night

What about the years Lebron didn't make the playoffs?

When Jordan got there (to the Finals), he always won. He never lost on the big stage. Hell, he never let an NBA Finals series even get to game 7, let alone losing multiple Finals like Lebron.

6/5/2015 5:47:20 PM

you gonna stick to your script after he loses this year?

6/5/2015 5:54:38 PM

what?

6/5/2015 6:08:10 PM

not really that difficult of a question
