Cant deny LBJ his greatness. #3 on GOAT list for me. If he didnt choke vs Mavs or Spurs he would prob be #1. Sick of flowering people with a basketball IQ of below 50 having the biggest voice ripping into LBJ like Skip...

Hahaha you're back! #2 GOAT for me.

Just think the choke vs Mavs has screwed his legacy a lot. No top 10 player has ever done that before. He is easily the number 1 MVP of all time but falls short thanks to the 2 chokes. Have MJ and Shaq above him.

Isiah Thomas talking about how LeBron had to do everything whereas Jordan had to score.... MJ once averaged 32.5, 8 and 8 while winning DPOY.

So are the Cavs now the greatest team ever?

since they just beat them.

Is it time that we can call Curry a choker? we know it would have happend if it was the other way round.

Hopefully the fans give some respect back to Love, he redeemed himself tonight. What a game! Will be interesting to see both teams off season moves, but this rivalry could go on for awhile!
Love was amazing played great D. Cavs fans that were giving Love shower can get stuffed. Wouldn't have won without him

100%. The guy had 2 dud games, was a beast all season, hope he leaves anyway, stuff those showerty fans.

he had a good defensive game. But everyone would agree that he is not a good defensive player.

On the offensive end he still wasn't great today 3/9 shooting with 0/3 3 pointers.

no doubt i give him props today but if we could get a more defensive option then need to look at it.

Kyrie James were the reasons the Cavs won.

Holz · June 20, 2016, 03:00:57 PM

Also i have to give props to Draymond Green.

100% was the MVP of the Warriors.

C'mon Holz, yes Curry didn't have a good series but he was obviously not 100% because of his knee.

Definitely seemed to be down on confidence from deep compared to his normal self. Was that the knee or just him lacking confidence after some quieter games?

he was able to perform in this series and was pretty decent for 3 quarters then went cold in the 4th.

I saw enough from him health wise to say those missed shots were missed shots.

are you giving Curry an asterix.

Chocked in Playoffs * was somewhat injured.

Toga · June 20, 2016, 03:19:57 PM

Yeah, I'm tending to agree with you Holz. Knee may have slightly contributed, but those shots were ones he hit without trouble in the regular season. Looked down on confidence today and a few silly TO's is something he's going to have to learn from.

Andrew3747 · June 20, 2016, 03:22:59 PM

He was defended extremely well. Think Curry was just boxed out of the game. Cavs really stepped up rather than just gsw playing bad.

Holz · June 20, 2016, 03:24:12 PM

I cant make memes but i thought this was clever

Golden State uses Splash Brothers.....

But nothing happened.

As a Lebron fan I dont want to see this comparison yet. Jordan is still better at this point in Lebrons career. I think now its possible that he can overtake him as for me this erasers the Mavs series. so he is back on pace.

5-6 rings then we start talking.

All i know is Lebron is the best player now and that cant be argued.

Cleveland did a great job on Curry. Trapping him off the PnR really worked well, and TT did an amazing job guarding him in mismatches. And Curry with his dumb turnovers and silly fouls definitely played worse than usual. But when a big got matched up with him, in the regular season he'd dance rings around them, this series he really hasn't been able to gain any separation which I think is because of his knee.

I don't think we should lose sight of what an amazing season he and the rest of the Warriors team had. I think the funniest storyline of these playoffs is that if a certain Warrior had hit opponent's in the nuts less often, we could have a different champion right now.. Sports are strange :P
