<p>Fucking yes.. suck dick you groin fetish GSW piston wristed gibbons!</p>
-
<p>What a game! James with a triple double and 27 points.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I honestly didn't think they would do it away. Just massive!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well done Cleveland!</p> -
<p>I never used to like Le Bron much, but he has grown on me this season. What a player.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Plus the fact I grew to really dislike GSW.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have not been this happy for a team to lose in a long long time.</p> -
<p>I'm pretty fucking far from a LBJ fan, but his effort this series is some all-time shit. What an athlete. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well done Cavs. </p> -
I am never going to like him but have to respect him. Lebron gets his legacy. He could retire today. Some will say he did it with a stacked deck but Love was average throughout most of the playoffs. He deserves his place among the top 5 probably ever.<br><br>

<p>What a great win by Cleveland. All-time stuff from Lebron, and that late 3 from Irving was incredible.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Warriors bottled it in the end, didn't take a good shot in the last two minutes. Curry was below his best all finals, and so it was again tonight- showed glimpses of his best but couldn't get any consistency. Really good Draymond game but not enough from Klay or Steph.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This might see the Warriors make a big play for Durant. Think they'd be keen to offload Barnes, he's been incredibly shit these last three games.</p> -
<p>LeBron also shot 53% from the field in the finals.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Other stats of note:</p>
<ul><li>He became the third player to have a triple-double in Game 7 of the Finals, joining Jerry West in 1969 and James Worthy in 1988.</li>
<li>2-0 in Game 7s in NBA Finals.</li>
</ul> -
Finally got to watch game 7. LBJ was a farken madman, he played a spectacular game when the stakes will never be higher. Irving continued his great play and even Kevin Love had a good game particularly on defence. Not taking anything away from the Cavs but all of the big guns for GSW failed to fire; Curry and Thompson shot poorly, Barnes continued in his funk, only Draymond Green stood up

<p>Yeah, you have to think the injury played a part and was potentially worse then what they first made out. He was nowhere near the force he was before that.</p> -

Tracey McGrady mentioned a week ago on ESPN that he'd heard from someone close that Steph will need knee surgery in the offseason. If this is true it would explain a bit -
<p>Nah screw that. All the players had knocks and many had more serious injuries. Curry has no excuses. </p>
<p>If he was so badly impacted, he wouldnt have had those hot games and even screamed at people that ' He was back'</p> -

<p>Curry categorically denied he was scheduled to have any surgery in the press conference yesterday. To his credit, he also wasn't making any excuses for his below par effort in the finals. </p> -

He shot badly but that was probably as much to do with the physicality that the Cavs brought more than anything. No one could have stopped LBJ though, he was a freak -

Trade season is all go, the Knicks trade for Derek Rose and send a bunch of flotsam in return. They love their once great oft-broken stars don't they? (Amar'e Stoudamire anyone?). Probably good for Chicago and Rose to turn a page. Dwight Howard is lurking hoping for one more big contract, frankly I don't think he's worth it but some desperate team will pony up the cash for him. His best days (like Rose) are behind him
