    I'm impressed with what he's made himself on the Warriors, he's obviously very important to their team. His demeanor on the court just annoys me. It's like watching a huskier version of Shane Battier in many ways.
    I see. As I said above, each to his own.

        If the Cavs lose this series... Lebron will be 2-4 in the finals... he's an amazing player but Jordan still has it as greatest ever imo

          What an incredible game and a fantastic performance by both LeBron and Steph. Exactly what I wanted to see.

            COMPLETELY different level and type of defense.

              If I am a Cavs fan I am really worried. This is perhaps their best chance of winning in Oakland. And Irving re-injured his knee.

                  There is no if in the Cavs losing the series. They have zero chance.

                    If I was a Cavs fan I would be happy that they overachieved.

                      I don't care who you are rooting for, but I hope nobody complains about quality of play in these Finals if this keeps up.

                      That was some high level basketball there.

                            I don't understand how a Pacers fan could be rooting for LeBron? I'm not trying to call anyone out or anything, I just don't understand why you would root for LeBron after the history we have against him. The Warriors are a really fun team to boot. I don't have to solely root against LeBron. I can root FOR the Warriors and still sleep at night.

                            Just my 2c.
                            I'm right there with you. I respect his greatness and all, but I don't give a damn about that until 10-15 years down the road. In the moment, I want him to lose. Similar to Tom Brady and the Patriots. All they do is win (and possibly cheat). If I'm a Houston Texans fan, maybe I can have an unbiased view and enjoy the ride. But I'm a Colts fan. And a Pacers fan. So until they retire, I can't want LeBron (or Brady) to win.

                            But again, from a historical standpoint it's tough not to shake your head at their greatness. But yet again, present tense isn't history yet so **** them both.

                              Aaaaaaaargh!

                              I hate this logic. What if the Pistons had been in the Western Conference?

                              The only Finals you could say Lebron really "came up short" was Dallas.

                              2007-An absolutely mind blowing one man show to beat the Pistons then ran up against a Spurs team. Jordan never took a team that weak to the Finals.
                              2011-Definitely an argument they let this one get away, great performance by Dirk
                              2012-Won Decisively.
                              2013-Won when they could very easily have lost, maybe should have.
                              2014-Lost to an absolute steam roller in San Antonio.
                              2015-The Warriors are just better, again. They should win if they play as good as they can.

                              Basically:


                              That said...I actually like the Warriors better for their style of play and root for them, though I don't hate the Cavs or Lebron.

                              This was an entertaining game, fun to watch and exactly what you would be hoping for, but I can't help the feeling that this was Cleveland's one game to win on the road. It's tough, you were supposed to have a big 3 of Lebron, Irving and Love with a good supporting cast, instead you have a team that's probably 7th best in the west.

                                Lebron is great yes, he may have taken a less talented team to the finals but at the end of his career losing is losing. If it weren't for that Ray Allen miracle shot he would be 1-5.
