We'll see if the Warriors recover from the end of the season stretch of stinkers.

Jordan has had some of the greatest NBA Finals games in league history, including the 55 point game against the Suns in 93.

But that in no way takes away from what Lebron did tonight. Tonight was also an All Time great Finals performance. But his teammates let him down.

It is what it is.

I’ll be surprised if the cavs win a game

They won't. Lebron had an all time game even by his standards and his own teammates robbed him.

I stand corrected

Warriors for whatever reason this season have been mentally weak AF.

Nah (the difference in these teams is just way too much for it to not bear itself out over time and LeBron won't play like THAT the rest of the series), but it would have been interesting to see the impact of such a loss on these guys.

Unfortunately thanks to JR/the refs we'll never know for sure.

I don't think the Warriors give a shit. They don't appear to have drive and determination like they have the past 3 seasons. They know they're the best and are settling and being content instead of trying to do more.

That series should not have gone 7. Not with how they blew out Houston in Games 1 and 3.

But Lebron didn't have Kyrie or Love for that series

And it went 6 games...

Lol. If Cavs would have won this it would've become a 6 game series. Maybe.

O.city · 05-31-2018, 10:05 PM

That was a fun game to watch though. Some of the late calls were pretty meh.

Rams Fan · 05-31-2018, 10:07 PM

Does LeBron dropping 51 and posting 8 boards and 8 assists in a Cavs loss show how good the Warriors are or how bad the supporting cast around LeBron is?

It is easier to be motivated to climb the mountain than to stay on top. That is why MJs 2 3 peats are so amazing.

The Warrior's have nobody able to defend him without Iggy. Curry is a foot shorter and Durant moves like a sloth.

Lol wut? What does how they blew them out have to do with it? You act like Houston isn't a good team with 2 hall of fame players. And you act like Houston didn't also blow them out game 2.

That reversal of the block/charge was pretty interesting stuff in that spot. Warriors lose the game if not for that call and that's a call they clearly didn't have to make.
