    It was incredibly important for the Cavs to win Game 6 in the way they did. I knew if that happened they would have momentum and they did just win at Oracle. Ever since the Cavs went down 3-1 I've been saying they just got to give themselves a chance. That they definitely have, if any team can come back from that deficit it's this team, and the Warriors lol. LeBron needs to stay possessed like he is now for Game 7. I think Kyrie is about to have a real good game as well. Guarantee other guys will have to step up cuz Kerr's philosophy is backfiring. Kyrie and LeBron are beating them. So I expect them to double those two more, and force others to finally make shots.

    @Fitzy ditsy like Britney with disney, still recording music?

    To add to the thread, if the Warriors lose 3 straight, 2 being at home, then props to Cleveland.

    they've been such a dominant team yet in the playoffs they have been very beatable. Portland outplayed them for most of that series, Thunder had them on the ropes, and now Cleveland got back to back 15 pt wins in huge games. Never seen an all time great team get dominated for such big stretches or games.

    Game 7 should be great, can't see LeBron letting cavs get blown out with the way he's playing

    Idk if this has been noted, but it's ironic a few years ago Kerr tweeted that he would take LeBron over anybody in a Finals Game 7 on the road.

    So far the turning point of the series is Draymond calling Bron a b----, that and the hit to the nuts led to Green's suspension for game 5 and Bron being pissed (Klay's comments added to this) and Bron going off 2 straight games.

    No one can cry "bandwagon" and root for Golden State. LeBron is basically the most hated player in NBA history, meanwhile Curry is treated like the second coming. All the good press and fandom he gets is the very definition of bandwagon, considering it all started last year.

    Jordan was unstoppable and he was beloved. Granted, I f---ing hated him in the 90's, but most people f---ing sweated him.

    People don't like Lebron's personality. I mean, there are even rumors right now that he's willing to leave Cleveland, with or without a ring, after his whole "letter" about how Cleveland is his home and blah blah.

    He comes off as completely fake.

    Personally, I don't mind Lebron. I root against him because I'm a Celtics' fan, but he isn't as bad as people think.

    I do think that Lebron is soft though, and has been for the majority of his career. MJ, Kobe, Bird, Magic were everything but soft.

    Cheapest tickets on stubhub for game 7 are $800, d--- lol.

    I'd go if I could though tbh lol, might be worth it for a game like this. I don't regret dropping the money I did on Kobe's last game.

    I'll be at a party tomorrow for Fathers day which is fine i'll be happy and cheery with my aun'ts uncles and cousins. But once it hits 8pm and game 7 starts i'm f---ing done boy i'll be in the basement watching the game. Can't remember the last time I was this excited for a Bball game...? f---ing hope Lebron drops 40-50+ points that would be legendary. f--- Steph Curry. f--- Green. f--- Kevin Love he's more useless than anything.

    I feel like GS and their "fans" are mentally defeated right now. If Lebron and Irving are on :emoji_fire::emoji_fire::emoji_fire: tomorrow and the Warriors start off slow again, its done

    Lebron is a victim of his own greatness but also his own hype. He and others hyped him up to be the next MJ but better, and when people kept seeing him lose they got tired of hearing about him so they started hating. "The Decision" pretty much sealed the deal for a lot of people

    Cavs really need guys like Thompson and JR Smith to show up, Warriors need Barnes and Draymond Green. Barnes is being left wide open and missing basically every shot, if he keeps that up it's like the Warriors only have 4 players on offense when he's out there which makes it tougher on Klay and Curry as well since they're more likely to face double teams when Barnes isn't a threat even wide open. Green needs to be the energy and heart of the team as he is when they're at their best, Green also needs to lead the way defensively and protect the rim especially with Bogut out. Honestly don't know what to expect from Curry or Klay, they both need 20+ though.

    A key factor for Bron will be whether his jump shot is there or not, in games 5 and 6 it was but it often isn't. If that's working for him, could be another 40+ point night. Kyrie's mostly a big game player but I really don't know what to expect, I mean I think he'll get at least 15-20 but don't know if he can get 30-35+ like they may need him to.

    So hard to say what's gonna happen in this one, but I'll go with a score of Warriors 102 Cavs 94.
