Just heard an amazing stat, this was the 20th game this postseason decided by at least a 25 point margin. The previous record in a single postseason was 11.

That's VERY bad for the NBA imo, a big part of it is the 3 pointer becoming more and more common(teams like the warriors and cavs both s---t a ton) but also teams just s---. Lots of playoff teams aren't very good and quite frankly in the NBA we know there's usually only 3-4 teams a year that have a legit shot at a title that particular season anyways.

Warriors so lucky that the Celtics got screwed out of the playoffs, or they would've been swept.

30 point win? Maan, either homecourt makes you a beast or this s--- is rigged. Hopefully Cavs got their s--- together. Bring Kevin off the bench so we can get some scoring not only from the starters and have the same starting lineup and we good.

Wow that's crazy. I knew it was bad but had no idea it was double the old record. It's the 2nd game in the Finals alone, which is odd considering these are arguably the best 2 teams in the league.

Another thing, Steph, but clearly he isn't 100%. He already pulled out of the Olympics because he "wants to let his knee injury heal". He's had some great games since he's been back, but this is definitely something that's bothering him.

Not gonna make excuses though because Derrick missed 2 years and he gets crushed anytime he has poor games. Steph was out for 6 and hasn't been able to find his rhythm, imagine if he missed nearly 2 full seasons.

Personally I think KD would get it before Kawhi but I agree, it definitely doesn't go to Curry. Curry is basically a less athletic/better shooting version of Gilbert Arenas if we're being honest.

Him & Kyrie were definitely the MVP's of the game. Bron got his numbers but it was after they'd already blown it open.

Holy s---, Cavaliers made a massive turnaround. Can't believe the GSW got dominated by them; they're like the Patriots for basketball.

With the ages n s--- this really shows how important your team and situation is to your legacy.

Bron's getting way too much credit for last night, he didn't start playing great until the team was up about 20 in the 3rd already. Kyrie and Tristan Thompson were the ones who came out strong and set the tone, really have no idea how Bron still ended up getting the credit for 'coming out strong' when he really didn't...

If they wanna say Bron helped put the warriors away, then fine that makes more sense..That's not what people are saying though.

 

Jun 9, 2016

Yeah I said the same thing earlier. To be honest he looked pretty bad for most of the 1st half. LeBron was definitely responsible for putting them away though, haven't seen him play like he did in the 2nd half since last years Finals.

 

Jun 9, 2016

Besides starting 4-4 he didn't have a great first half but he played much better defense than in games 1 and 2 and also didn't have as many dumb turnovers.

 

Jun 10, 2016

Can't recall seeing Curry get credit for doing something he didn't so I'd say no. No one's saying Curry's had a good finals.

 

Jun 10, 2016

I just realised staying up this late for the Euros is gonna make me sleep in for this game. f---...

 

Jun 10, 2016

I have to agree with @Kon

LeBron is almost always the center of media attention. When they lose its because "LeBron wasn't focused" when they win its because "LeBron stepped up". It's never about his teammates or the skill of the opposing team.

 

Jun 10, 2016

Cavs lucking out so far.

 

Jun 10, 2016

Love now cleared to play lol.
