I love how all the talking heads keep saying LeBron needs to drive on every possession, but don't realize how physically taxing that can be over 48 minute even for a physical freak like LeBron. Oh and the Warriors can play a little defense and make it tough on LeBron most of the time when he drives. I'm just disappointed that Charles Barkley is running away to Cuba to keep from having to get on his knees apologizing and giving Warriors their proper respect.

Should have used the Curry Low 2's in the video instead. Saw the other video you posted last night and laughed because my first thought when they started to blow the game was I wonder what jersey Lebron will wear next year. One of the big 3 will be gone, they can't get better without trying to change one of the big pieces except by maybe getting an NBA qualified coach.

Most of the videos are funny no matter who they are making fun of. I just love how the internet gets creative!!

When in doubt, blame the nearest white guy. That's the Cavs problem, they're running out of white dudes to try and pin this on.

Gilbert- ate the luxury cap penalties and gave LeBron whoever he wanted. Can't blame him anymore.

Blatt- they fired him cause his philosophies weren't built for the excellent players he had in Cleveland and they promoted one of "their guys" to take over as head coach and they are still getting spanked in the finals. Can't blame Blatt anymore.

Mozgov- guy looks like a better version of Bogut last year and all of the sudden they give Thompson a huge contract (again, to please LeBron) and fire Blatt and they suddenly have no use for Mozgov anymore and he's relegated to the end of the bench.

Kevin Love- ITS ALL YOUR FAULT. Wait, everybody clamoring after game 3 that maybe the Cavs are a better team without Love in the starting lineup and with old ass Richard Jefferson....yes, a lot of people said that.

They got dicked on. At home. Again.

Not surprisingly, there's a report coming out this morning that the Cavs have interest in trading for Bulls F Mike Dunleavy for the rest of the finals simply so they have somebody else to blame these finals on.

Bold move cotton, we'll see how it pays off.

Richard Jefferson.

You're really going out on a limb attributing this to race.

And Green just "won" he did his job, he's in Lebron's head. I'm not a fan of Green but being a "d+ck" is part of his toolbox and it works.

He was balling out in the first half. Looking out on the offensive glass and even had some crazy baseline jumper after showing some dribbling skills. When he hit that I thought for sure it was Cleveland's night.

Orangejello727 · 06-11-2016, 10:26 AM

Because of Lebron, they might ban trash talking on the floor incase you hurt someones feelings now.

Very happy with the Warriors win BUT the series, FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME, is far from over.

Splash Splash

It's as close to over as it's going to get before is actually over. You really think this Cavs team will be the first out of 33 teams to come back from a 3-1 deficit in The Finals? Against this Warriors team? Only happens if something disastrous happens for Warriors.

If Curry has another good game he will win imo although it would be cool to see the whole team share the Finals MVP.

seabass97166 · 06-11-2016, 10:29 AM

The Eastern Conference is Intermurals compared to the West. Portland would have beaten Toronto. I don't blame the Cavs, they simply aren't that good. LeBron has too many miles on him and his defense isn't close what it used to be.

Tristan finally seeing the light and jumping on the Warriors bandwagon. Already starting a #threestraight hashtag in anticipation of the Warriors going for 3 straight championships next season.

chansen10 · 06-11-2016, 10:36 AM

Down 3-1 and going back to Oracle.. Yet I still can't count the Cavs out.. They just need to click like game 3... Lebron has been lacking that killer assassin type instinct. I think he needs to take control in game 5 and drive to the rim a lot more. No need for him to settle for outside jumpers when he can get into the paint and dominate

I mean, Lebrons game tonight was better than any of Curry's first 3 games.

You forgot one important stat. 7 turnovers.

When Curry plays well, he is MVP. When they play bad, its the "Team's" fault lol

Not sure if you were watching tv or listening to sports radio after game 3, but Curry was getting plenty of criticism everywhere. People even wanted to criticize some damn shoes like he's the one that designed and made them. He responded like a great player should though.

Very important stat... also that he missed half his free throw attempts. Essentially this game came down to Cavs missed their free throws and lost the turnover battle. Which is crazy that those 2 things cost them the game when the Warriors went off from 3.

The cavs are the type of team that could win 3 straight just because of how streaky they are. With having 2 days off in between each of the rest of the games I think that helps the cavs from an energy stand point since that seemed to be the problem in the second half. Also depends if the NBA does anything to Green. I wouldn't be surprised if nothing happened or if he missed a game or 2.

The Cavs are not winning twice at the Oracle.

It worked. He got away with McAdoo because he did very little. Varejoa started rough but made some good hustle plays. I guess he wanted to rest Barbosa and Speights for game 5. Would love to see Warriors up comfortably in the 4th on Monday so all the guys can get in the game.

Windhorst wrote this morning that Green called LeBron a bitch. If that's accurate, and if that's what got LeBron's panties in a bunch, then Green's characterization is exactly right. As I said earlier, I have no love for Green whatsoever, but LeBron throwing him to the ground and then stepping over him was a bitch move. If I had been Green and could have timed it right, I would have stood up as LeBron was stepping over and flipped him on his head. Would have been perfectly legit, too. Can't fault a guy from standing up after being thrown on the ground and happening to catch LeBron walking over him.

Would you feel that way if Draymond was suspended for game 5 and then got another flagrant in game 6 so missed 7? I don't think they will but there are a lot of variables to play out. I personally think Cavs lose Monday unless Draymond gets suspended which I don't think he will.

Cervantes · 06-11-2016, 11:02 AM

I just watched the James/Green play multiple times in slow motion, and imo, Lebron reacted to Green. Green set the illegal screen (big surprise), and then after Lebron fought through it, Green attempt another screen (kinda). At that point, Green's right arm mysteriously finds itself up in the air, towards Lebron's upper body/head. Lebron pushes Green's arm away, and Green flops.

If that ''threw Draymond to the ground'', then he's made of fluffy feathers.

Then, Lebron was wrong in stepping over him; really, there's no need for that. He could have accomplished the same thing in the same amount of time by going around him, but Green hitting him in the balls on purpose was ridiculous. What a B.I.T.#%. Period.

He seems to like to target that area.
