<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>

<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>(*87% for home team in the finals or something like that)</p> -

<p>Kinda how I feel. Was liking the GSW. But they have become assholes, And not cool 'dont care' assholes.. but just assholes.</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> -

I took that comment to mean the actual bench structure, not the officials. -
I don't really have an issue with what Curry did. Not a fan of it personally, but it's nothing I haven't seen from Lebron, D Wade, Westbrook, KD, Jordan, Rip Hamilton, and I could list probably 30 others that have lost it, looked like a fool all over a refs call.

<p>It would be ironic if the Cavs come back from the brink of elimination and win it all for the first time after the Warriors escaped from a 3-1 deficit in the WC finals. LeBron has been criticised in the past for not showing up when it really matters (unfairly) and there will be no bigger stage than a game 7 away from home. The momentum is certainly with the Cavs even if history is against them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I remember watching the late 80s/early 90s Cavs loss to the Bulls (Jordan's "shot" over Ehlo) and also watched the Indians lose in the World Series twice. Cleveland's luck has gotta turn eventually...</p> -
<p>It's been a weird finals series, defined by incredible momentum shifts back and forward in big series.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm not convinced the Warriors have what it takes to turn it around, but home advantage is huge here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If Cleveland win it will be an all time series, for a number of reasons. It will also enshrine Lebron's legacy as a top 3-4 all time player, single-handedly dragging his home town to a drought-breaking title. But on the flipside it will ensure the Warriors legacy as back-to-back champs, similarly an 'all time' side. So much on the line... I can't wait!</p>
