    <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>

    <p>Ripper of a first half, scores tied at 61. Lebron, Klay, Irving and Curry all playing well. The absence of Green has freed up the Cavs offensively, and the Warriors need a bit more out of their bigs.</p>

    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

    <p>Irving going on the quite the run. Creeping well into the 40s. </p>

    <p>The Cavs could win at home,... and then anything can happen in a game 7</p>

    <p>That was an amazing effort by Kyrie and Lebron. All time games from the two of them. Won the game completely on their own.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>If they can keep that form up they win the series. But it's a massive if.</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>

    <p>Didn't see today's game, but I'm not surprised at the result.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Game 7 promises to be great, I honestly have no idea who will win. As a GSW fan I'm hoping they get up ('the legacy' is at risk), but I wouldn't be too annoyed to see Cleveland win. Would be an all-time epic comeback for a city that has had its heart ripped out on numerous occasions.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Think it will be close, though.</p>

    <p>After seeing the game 7 win stats* for home teams, I'm sure that GSW will win.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>And, after seeing Believeland, I'm sure that the Cavs are destined to lose.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Sadly.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>(*87% for home team in the finals or something like that)</p>

    <p>It was a shame to see Curry acting like a child and tossing his mouthguard today, he has had a great season, but this just makes him look like a poor sport. Good touch to wander over and apologise to the guy straight away, but to say in the press conference "I was aiming it at the scorers bench, but my aim was off" is pretty average - as if the officials deserve to cop a saliva covered mouthguard instead. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I've always been an LBJ fan and have followed him from the Cavs, to Miami and back. While Curry is the MVP, if I was going to bet my life on someone to have a huge game in game 7, I'd be putting it on LBJ, not Curry. Curry has been a bit guilty of going missing in some of the big playoff games. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I still think GSW will probably win game 7, but what a game it's gonna be!</p>
