OT: NBA Finals

[Scoe]

Lebron is like just give me the mother ball

 

[superjohn]

Couple of great plays by LeBron but Curry has to value the ball better in the last few minutes. Come on.

One great play by Lebron, the other one he tackled Curry. I'm with you though, Curry is way too lax with the ball.

 

[HuskiesAllDay]

Either the Monstars stole his game, or Steph Curry is a huge choker.

Three careless lazy outrageous turnovers in the last minute of the game. Then he gets a WIDEEEEEE open 3 and bricks it.

I've never seen anything like this. His numbers are going to end up ok tonight but he has been bad.

 

[Dynasty]

Even if the Warriors lose, they have to be encouraged that Chef Curry seems to be back.

 

[James]

wut?

 

[BUHusky]

NBA officiating at its best...

 

[Scoe]

game should have been over already but Shump and Mosgov had to act like they still play for the knicks.

 

[Jaker]

ah well, was really hoping the Cavs would get screwed in this one.

 

[superjohn]

Only good takeaways for Warriors is that David Lee has to play more going forward and Curry maybe found his stroke and will stop sucking.

 

[James]

i can't believe i disrespected king james and picked gsw in 5. i was drinkin the kool aid man...

 

[RayRay19]

If James pulls this off.....with this team....against the warriors....wow....legendary performance.

 

[Adios]

If James pulls this off.....with this team....against the warriors....wow....legendary performance.

Agreed. Then he can finally be compared to Jordan.

 

[gwhuskyfan]

Warriors in 6.

 

[Mots010]

Warriors are lucky they're not down 3-0 at this point. Curry hit 7 or 8 threes and they never even had a chance to tie the game in the last minute. If you didn't watch an nba game all year you'd think Cleveland was the heavy favorite. They've lead almost the entire series.

 

[aceboon]

Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green are killing the Warriors offense. Barnes can't hit anything, and now Green won't take most of the open 3s that he hit all year, and he's way off on the few he is attempting, so now he's getting stood up by Mosgov on all of these rim runs. I thought the "let Bron get his" D would work as long ad their O ran to at least 90% normal but if the Cavs are gonna wreck them on D like this then the series is likely a wrap. Obviously Curry's struggles are major reason as well but the role players got take and make open shots when Curry is getting blitzed like this.

 

[Scoe]

Next game is going to tell us a lot.

 

[TasteofUConn]

Two favorite plays of the game:
1. Green grabs a fistfull of shirt of Cavs player. Holds on for about 4 or 5 seconds, attempting to control the man. Whistle blown. Guy goes nuts. What? Dude, you had a commando grip on his shirt, why are you screaming at the refs.
2. Curry, going through 3 screens and around 3 or 4 Cavs to hit an impossible, crazy 3 to bring it to, three I think, with under a minute. If his mental game ever catches up to his shooting, he'll be the best scorer ever. He was clearly rattled early, and Deli was eating his lunch, but he clearly settled in late and looked unstoppable. If he can start game 4 the way he ended game 3, GS will be tough to beat.

Cavs need game 4. If the GSWs tie it back up to regain home court, the Cavs will have a hell of a time winning another one in GS.

People are putting too much emphasis on "if LeBron pulls this off, then he will be . . . ." People, he already is. The guy is single handedly keeping his team in these games. At the end, his teammates were screwing up left and right and he just stepped in and made it happen. Big shot after big shot. Couple of huge blocks tonight. Guy is in the conversation for best ever, if he never played another game, and I have no idea how he's not a consensus top 2 right now. Power dunk on baseline drive? Check. Blowby on first play of game for easy lay in? Check. Pressure 3 from deep late in game? Check. Cross court pass to Shumpert that no other player could have made? Check. Clutch free throws down the stretch? Check. Guy is the Mozart of basketball.

I think the next game decides the series.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

I never bet against Lebron, but there is no way the Cavs can win this series. Tonight is just a nice story if they don't win game 4...but if they do...no way GS beats Lebron 3 straight.

They have been unbelievably bad, you expect nothing from Bogut on offense but when you also get nothing from the other two starters you basically have no chance, players sag off them and don't give Curry and Klay space. Kerr is also getting exposed, they are getting killed on the boards no matter what and it's clear as day the small lineup is working and he still rarely ever uses it. The offense flows so much better with Lee in there but Kerr will probably have him right back on the end of the bench going forward.

You're out of your mind, Cavs are outplaying Warriors in every facet of the game.

 

[JimHurley]

Never been a huge LeBron fan but how can you not root for him in this series? He deserves it.

 

[Scoe]

I think the next game decides the series.

I would agree and not just who wins also how the game is played, does GS come on like gang busters, or does the game start out like it did tonight.

Nah I think he has no choice but to play Lee after tonights performance, maybe the only good thing to come out of tonights loss for them is to give Lee more of the backup big minutes, they need another scorer/ playmaker out there and Lee gives em that.

 

[Scoe]

Im rooting for Lebron its a lot easier to root for him when he's not on the Heat, I like GS and wouldn't mind if they won either, glad its a good series thus far, hope it continues.
