    There's no denying that the reason the Cavs have been in a position to win is primarily because of LeBron. What I'm agreeing with is that, by the end of the game, the dude is exhausted and is constantly trying to put everything on his shoulders at that time anyways, despite it being detrimental to the team.

    And that's it man. That's my one complaint. I just hate when there's 4-5 minutes left in a game, Cavs are up by 8-11, and LeBron just dribbles the clock down every possession and then tries to run an ISO when the clock gets to around 9 seconds remaining. It never works. I bought league pass specifically to watch the Cavs this year and I see him do it time and time again, and it never works. We never maintain a lead when he's doing that. And, as an actual Cavs fan, NOT a LeBron fan, it's frustrating.

    the officiating, and specifically tonight's game is such a ****ing joke

    lebron can blatantly shove someone and it counts as a "screen", dude is ****ing shoving the defender

    he can also just run into anyone he wants and not get a charging call, ever.. must be nice

    can also drop the ball in mid air, come back down with it and score with no traveling call

    the whole Cavs team can apparently set moving screens legally, i guess that's a new rule change I wasn't aware of.. ****ing Mazgov is constantly moving when he's "screening"

    no wonder i don't bother with NBA, it's so fake

    Let the NBA fake start up. Its good you stay away from the NBA because you dont know anything about basketball and obviously didn't watch the last game.

    i know plenty.. one of which being the rules.

    it's near impossible to watch and take it seriously if basic rules aren't even enforced

    it'd be like NFL refs letting defenders jump offside constantly.. it's garbage

    Golden State's shooting was never going to win them a finals series.

    I'll give credit where credit is due, Cavs are not winning this without Dellavedova. He is out there giving it his all

    It's crazy that Kyrie getting hurt may actually be helping the Cavs. There is no way Kyrie and his grandpa legs could be providing the same containment on Curry that Delly is pulling off.

    No no no, Delly's presence means nothing. The GS Bandwagons just had a bad shooting night... again. Delly had absolutely nothing to do with the supposed MVP being held to 3 points in the first half, just like fatigue and a large lead had absolutely nothing to do with GS coming back in the 4th. GS is just playing bad, that's all, you see. They'll start playing good on Thursday, or maybe Sunday, if they feel like it. If not, then Tuesday perhaps.


    That silliness aside, my gut feeling right now is that the Cavs have to win the next two to win the series. Delly had to go to the hospital after the game due to severe cramping from dehydration and Shump was playing with one arm for the entirety of the game. If this thing goes to 7 I think there's a very real possibility of seeing a starting lineup of Marion, Harris, LeBron, Perkins, and Miller, with only Haywood coming off of the bench.

    That said, I'm proud of this Cavs team. They've fought hard, and if they manage to win it all it will be one of (if not the) greatest stories in NBA Finals history. And if they lose, then the GS banner had better be nothing but a giant asterisk, because the Cavs are leaving no doubt as to of who the better team is, it's just... you know... human physiology is causing them some problems.
