The big thing about MJ and the thing that separates him from Lebron was his ability to take control and get his team mates over the line. Lebron goes.on the offensive and that includes against his own team mates.<br><br>

MJ went over the top against team mates as well. It's just that there was no Twitter back in the 90s.....<br><br><br>

<p>Yeah it was a clear strategy to try and bait Green. You only step over a guy on the ground to disrespect them - Allen Iverson over Tyronne Lue; D-Wade over Verajo; Pippen over Ewing - to name a few memorable ones.<br><br>
If they can get a T or two out of Green he could be suspended for a game.</p>

<p>To his credit he didn't bite. Steven Adams would have been proud</p> -

<p>He punched Steve Kerr at practice, among other people! The stories of him taunting his team mates, especially Scotty Pippen are the stuff of legends. Where do you think Kobe Bryant got all of his ideas from!</p> -
<p>So Draymond gets suspended for game 5 after his altercation with Lebiatch. I'm not a fan of Draymond's niggle and felt like he should have been punished for kicking Adams in the jewels twice. But he got hosed this time, LBJ started the whole thing just like he lashed out at Steph Curry at the end of game 4</p>

<p>Fucken ridiculous decision, especially after the fact. Absolutely nothing in that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gives the Cavs a glimmer of hope for tomorrow, and puts pressure on the Warriors bigs to step up. Might see a bit more of James-Michael McAdoo...</p> -

<p>Nope, that was def a f,agrant 1, not worthy of ejection in game or a suspension.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But he was suspended due to to many flagrants in the playoffs. If he didnt want to be suspended, he shouldnt have been a niggly dirty prick for the last month.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fuck him.</p> -
<p>I'm with you Baron. The nutkickingfloptripper has been a disgrace these playoffs. He has constantly overstepped the line between emotional leader/do anything guy and just plain dirty play.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>LeBron has been disappointing this series for mine, The stats look OK, but in the big moments he just hasn't got it done. Perhaps that indicative of his career really - the most durable, consistent player of a generation, a top 5 player all-time for sure - but not able to really step up in the clutch is what keeps him from the top spot, and maybe from the top 3.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>These Cavs just can't defend well enough, and when they aren't hitting the 3 ball, the offense turns to tripe. The ball stops moving, it becomes an iso with LBJ or Kyrie, and you don't win like that unless you have KD and Russ on your team - and even then. They also can't finish well enough inside, which negates the advantage they have on the offensive boards. And lets not even get into the depth discussion.</p> -
Welcome back voodoo. <br><br>
Points in the paint has been a big issue for the Cavs against the better teams this season. They e been fortunate to have a very good offensive rebounder in Thompson that has created a number of 2nd and 3rd chance opportunities. <br><br>
Dubs to win by 10 tomorrow. <br><br><br>

Amazing half really. Just when Klay looked like he would shoot the Cavs out of the game, LBJ and Kyrie kept pace. <br><br>
Dubs missing that defensive rebound and push that Draymond is awesome at. <br><br>
Pretty good ball movement for GSW even without their leading assist man. Cavs playing make iso (as expected). JR needs to keep it going -
-
What a 2nd half by the big 2 for the Cavs.
-
<p>The Cavs could win at home,... and then anything can happen in a game 7</p>
-
<p>Dominant first quarter by the Cavs. Shooting 59% (against 22%), smashing them in rebounds and turnovers. And consequently up by 20 already. </p>

<p>GSW really are a bunch of arrogant petulant fucktards.</p>
<p>I havent disliked a team that I havent had skin in the game against for a long time. Actually ever.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Draymond is a clown that has a fetish for hitting others guys dicks. Curry is an entitled spoilt brat.</p> -
<p>After watching the story of Cleveland's many heartbreaking losses over the years, and the way their fans have their hearts ripped out everytime but still come back to support their teams every year, I'm happy to see them win the championship and lay some ghosts to rest</p>

However today GSW really went above and beyond on the fucktard stakes. Lebron actually came of like a half decent human being by games end. He interviews really well. Probably better than most. <br><br>
On the flip side...Curry ejected for the first time in his career after acting like a fucken child for a good portion of the game. Klay left for the locker room before the end of the game(a serious dick move and sporting faux pas) and Green is just Green.<br><br>
I dont have a dog in the fight and i dislike Lebron(on court) greatly. But go Cavs. <br><br>
