    I'll never get how when Bron's teammates do great it's cuz 'Bron elevates their game' yet when they s--- it's 'not Bron's fault, he did all he could do, just didn't have help etc.'

    He was basically the GM of the team anyways, not like he didn't get to pick and choose his teammates.

    I do. I think they'll feed off the home crowd energy.

    I agree it gets overblown and s--- but I feel like he's gotten the most out of his role players throughout his career. Don't wanna be too specific but I think a good example was Mo Williams making an all-star team while playing with LeBron in his first Cleveland stint. Or when I found out that he knows where each player on his team wants to catch the ball and how they want to catch it and can pretty much do it subconsciously, that's the s--- I look at and think to myself, "wow."

    Even that situation with Mo is overblown lol. He was the 2nd alternate chosen to replace Chris Bosh (Ray Allen was the 1st alternate and he replaced Jameer Nelson).

    Mo averaged 18-4 that year, exactly what Rose did this season except he played for a 66 win team.

    Not trying to take away from his IQ or play making ability, but that 'LeBron made Mo Williams an all-star' narrative is way way overblown.

    That was still a career year for Mo, his first year in Cleveland. His best and most efficient year(s) were with LeBron. Idk why you threw Rose into the convo unless you're using it to back up that his (Mo's) season wasn't that great.... and even in that case, it's not like it was Rose's career year like it was Mo's.

    I'm not saying LeBron made Mo Williams an all-star, but he was at his best playing with LeBron, and the all-star berth is good help for the resume.

    Warriors killer Monty McCutchen's crew is going tonight. Cavs are an easy pick in Game 3 tbh.

    Part of me wants Cavs to grab a game just for Lebron's sake but another part of me wants the Warriors to sweep in hope that the NBA's ratings take a hit next season.

    Refs are definitely gonna try their best but I still doubt it'll be enough.

    Wonder how obvious they're willing to make it look, it'd be funny if both KD and Steph get into early foul trouble or something. :'(

    Green getting into foul trouble wouldn't even be suspicious, seems to happen d--- near every finals game anyways.

    Its honestly not that hard to rig NFL or NBA games. Every single play in football you could call holding if you wanted and nearly every play in basketball there is contact enough to call a cheap foul.

    But yea i fully expect one of the Warriors to be in foul trouble early, also expecting Kyrie to go off as well as TT to play a lot better and the other Cavs role players to play much better as those guys tend to show up at home and disappear on the road.

    Expecting Cavs to come out focused, hungry, and physical today.

    I'll watch the start but if it turns into a blowout quick or is boring I'll probably just go back to catching up on prison break lol.

    I'm early in season 2 so I still got a long ways to go. Pretty sure that'll be more entertaining than this game anyways.. but we'll see I'll stick with the game if it's exciting.

    I do have faith in the Cavs playing with urgency tonight but it's difficult to imagine even beating this team once. If the Cavs do win a game it'll be tonight, if not, I'm thinking sweep.

    Blow outs aren't exactly what any fan should want in the NBA finals no matter who is playing IMO.
