    that was a good no-call by the zebras at the end of the 4th. lebron got pumped A LITTLE but not enough to warrant calling a foul, especially at that stage of the game.

    this really wasn't that good of a game. i mean, sure, it came down to the end...which made it exciting. but both teams played sloppy basketball and both curry AND lebron shot poorly.

    i'm glad the cavs won though.....i don't care who wins.....i just wanna see a competitive series

    Great game. Hopefully Tony Brothers and Scott Foster don't ref another game in the finals.

    A foul is a foul no matter at what point during the game you are.

    Regardless of my or your opinion, refs usually let more stuff go late in games.

    Cavs got away with stuff too though.

    That's true, but I guess we can all agree that it was a horrible officiated game.

    Man that missed dunk by Speights turned out to be somewhat of a factor.

    Lebron goes for a triple-double and Curry goes 5-23 and the Cavs only win by 2 points. Cavs aren't winning this series lol.

    arguably Curry played like that cos of the great D by Delly - if he can keep that level up there is no reason why the Cavs can't win, especially if JR ends up sorting out his game.

    Assuming Steve Kerr makes the right adjustments I don't think Curry should have a bad game like that again. I doubt Delly will be able to keep up that defense the entire series.

    If Lebron wins a championship with this team it'll be his biggest accomplishment. Not just because of all the injuries and playing with a bunch of backups, but finally bringing a championship home to his city. I'm rooting for him.

    Really great win for the Cavs, but look what it took. Almost a 40 point triple double from Bron, and a 5-23 shooting night for Steph and they still only win by 2. If I was GS I would feel pretty confident heading into Game 3. Curry needs to run more P&R and get in the paint and look for layups or cutters, or work off the ball coming off screens and attacking. Delly was all over him from the outside, and was forced to take some terrible shots.

    I like Golden State too, but I want Lebron to get this one. The Warriors are a young talented team and will be great for a long time. They'll get one eventually.

    At this point I feel like Lebron can get 30-10-10 whenever he wants. I thought GS would win the series before it started, but having serious 2nd thoughts because of the way Lebron is dominating these 1st 2 games.

    I think Cavs will take Game 3. Role players usually play better at home, so I'm expecting guys like JR and Shump to play well and take some pressure off Lebron.

    I'm tired of people not giving credit where it's due... First of all. Curry gets most of the blame for the game 2 loss. You can't keep shooting 3's early in the shotclock when you're having an off night. Look to set up your teammates. Credit to Delly, Mozgof, and even a little bit of JR Smith before his defensive meltdowns late in the game, for coming to play. LeBron deserves more credit than he's getting tho. People are ignoring the fact that no one has ever put up 39/16/11 in an NBA finals game.

    All of that being said. I can't f---ing wait for game 3 tonight. Gonna be great. This series is already one of my favorites ever. First time the first two games of a Finals went into OT.

    Lebrons averages through 2 games are crazy. I still don't think this team is as bad as everyone makes them out to be, but he is putting up some historical numbers.

    As far as Curry goes, he had a similar game against Memphis in the previous round. He came back afterwards under a lot more control and was looking to get everyone involved, then started looking for his offense after that. Delly is a pest and he's going to bring it every night. GS obviously has no chance if Steph goes 5-23, no matter how good Klay shoots and everyone else plays.

    Should be an epic game tonight. Probably the biggest game Cleveland has hosted in at least 5 years.
