Thanks for clarifying, bro.

He's a grown man that threw a temper tantrum. Throwing shit at the fans is worse than at the ref. He absolutely never gets suspended here but he absolutely should because if you can't be a fucking adult you don't fucking belong in the league. They were way to soft on nut-kicking Green and Curry is just as emotionally fragile.

Sounds like your pretty emotional for a grown man. You can appreciate LeBron without hating every single other person on the court (teammates and opponents) with him. NBA has clear precedence already set, mouth guard into fans = fine.

Be cool for LeBron to get chip for Cleveland, but I hate to see people discount GS 73 win season. They are clearly better team but playing like shit majority of this series. Regardless who does win LeBron should win mvp.

A finals MVP should never be awarded to a player from the losing team imo

Sorry words have meaning and it's impossible for this to change enough for anyone to not be a joke MVP choice if you give it to someone else. Klay has had the highest moments for Golden State but he's been pretty bad for much of the series too.

Props to Curry for not saying anything about what Lebron said instead of the ole' "family man" BS, whiny narrative.

kind of liked the narrative of Cleveland teams never winning it, don't want to see the streak ended.

All of this is ultimately leading to a crazy heart breaking devestation game 7 loss for the city of cleveland.

You couldn't write a better script but I would have liked to see closely contested games instead of exchanging blowouts. The Warriors role players are awful in Cleveland. Barnes has been brutal when he isn't at home and unless James puts the team on his back again and goes for 50.....it's the dubs to lose

All streaks eventually end. This could be a double whammy first to come back from 3-1 down and ending the Cleveland curse.

I'm a MN sports fan and while we haven't had it nearly as bad as Cleveland with 2 WS titles in my lifetime. You do get used to bad things happening. Missed xp length fg to lose vs Seattle, Farve's awful int, etc.

I really think Lebron gets it done, he's really in the zone. GS is pretty banged up and it does have the feel game 6 did last year where Clev was just done. If they start slow I predict another blowout.

[binary]

Don't think it will be a blowout, but I think the dubs are just too banged up and mentally rattled to take this. Oddly enough, Vegas has them as 5 point faves. With Iggy out, Lebron might go for 50.

[capable_keL]

I hear people say its a bad finals. I couldn't disagree more. We have seen mini-plots and sub plots within this series: its been phenomenal basketball. Usually we can gauge the better team, but given the variables; I am not sure who the better team is and I'm not sure any team deserves it more than the other.

this is why sunday will be a treat and I fucking love the NBA

go dubs!!

Court side seats sold on stub hub for $50k each.

[Ramen]

there was some listed at 70k for game 5, not sure if they actually sold.

[capable_keL]

I'm excited to see E40 dancing courtside in a down jacket

[alpha]

It's probably drake or jay

never thought I would see it in my lifetime.


what a choke job by the warriors.

That block is the greatest play in NBA history



He's played 45 minutes when he chases that down. Just unreal.

29.7/11.3/8.9 leads both teams in points/rebounds/assists/steals/blocks.

[an-also]

That game was just increadible to watch. Can't believe it's over. NBA widhdrawl right now.

Curry really got outplayed by kyrie this series.

Lebron top 3 player of all time now. Unreal last two years in the finals. If he finished that dunk, it would have been the greatest play in finals history.

Great call by Mike breen.

so is the Draymond suspension gonna be the big talking point now?

He has no one to blame but himself. Lebron baited him and he took the bait.

[eternalreflection]

The suspension was weak for that play but he should have missed 2 vs OKC so it balances out. It's not a suspension if he hadn't already had multiple flagrants.

i'm happy for cleveland. makes for a more interesting storyline should they meet in the finals again.

[gusty wingers]

For the first time in lebrons career he truly did something Jordan-esque...

would have been stuff of legend.

tie breaker next year plz.

[eternalreflection]

He did that when he was 21 vs Detroit. Jordan may very well be the GOAT, it's close. Lebron is clearly not done either.

Only sport I know that has a undisputed GOAT that completely shits on #2 is Cricket.

If you pick any player for a 5 year stretch in their peak. I think Shaq averages the most rings, Center is just inherently the most important position and Shaq peak is basically equal to Lebron/Jordan.

[binary]

Dray getting suspended sucked, but yeah he did it to himself.

The big thing for me was Steph getting outplayed by Kyrie so badly. I totally didn't expect that, and Curry has looked pretty subpar all playoffs. It's gotta be one of the most disappointing playoffs by an MVP I can remember.

GS needs a legit big that has the ability to post up
