    Man the Cavs have led for less than 10 mins this whole series I'm pretty sure, we really supposed to appreciate a series cuz it has like 1 good half on it's way to a 4 game sweep?

    This playoffs has been trash for anyone outside of Warriors fans, let's face it.

    Not a Warriors fan and these playoffs have not been trash at all. In fact, I quite like watching dominance unfold on screen. Lebron has been considered the best player for the last decade and nobody has seemed to take anyone else seriously. Now a team is dominating and there's an issue? Nah. Ya'll aren't complaining because you want a competitive series. Ya'll are complaining because you spend too much time thinking you have a say in KD's life. You don't. Just enjoy basketball. These games don't have to be close to be interesting.

    Sorry but you really don't speak for anyone but yourself. These playoffs have been trash according to nearly everyone. And yes, games have to be competitive to be interesting. Thats why last night was entertaining and the first 2 games were not.

    Recluse Rob trying to tell ppl how to be fans and that we can't bash that fucken coward KD. Shut the h--- up.

    Kyrie dribbling the air out of the ball for 20 seconds and shooting a contested step back 3 is their best chance to win?

    LeBron apologists are the worst lol. Instead of driving right with no help defenders (Klay was attached to Kyrie in the right corner), he goes left into the help and passes to Korver. Nice play in the 1st quarter, but when you absolutely need a bucket, what's a higher % shot, a Korver 3 or a LeBron layup at the rim? He may be be the best finisher at the rim of all time but he avoids it like the plague in situations with the game on the line.

    If the cavs get swept the cavs will just try to get more stacked and will go after george, chris paul, carmelo etc making it worse than it is for the east. Either that or west i.e. clippers or spurs will stack up to beat gs and those mentioned players will join there

    wow, never would have thought GS would sweep the Cavs lol

    16-0 coming up...as mentioned LeBron needs to take the "shot" in the last possessions...best player on the team, going to the rim...even if he misses it, you have to put the ball in his hands...instead of the kick out to Korver...Kyrie is #2 option so you have to live with that step back

    The NBA is so bad now, I can't wait for the NFL season. We waited through months of blowouts and s---, hoping this series would make it all worth it. And, we get this.

    It actually probably does. Nobody remembers that in a few years. All the talk will be on Lebron getting smoked by KD atleast until next year.

    Hindsight is always 20/20. A couple possessions before the Korver shot, he did the same thing. He drove to the basket, saw JR open and kicked it out to him and JR nailed it to make it 107-113. No one complaining about that though.

    Cavs don't have the assets to acquire those guys, other then maybe Melo. But they definitely don't have the cap space. If someones willing to take a haircut of like $100 Million, then maybe. For the most part we're just joking about all stars X, Y and Z joining the Warriors or Cavs. Neither team is gonna be able to bring in anyone significant without trading a key piece.

    The guy completely choked to close the game there's really no other way to say it. Absolutely amazing stat line but those last 3 minutes he was atrocious.

    In a 1 point game, he had an open lane to drive to the basket where he had been clinical all night, and decided to let Kyle Korver decide the outcome of game 3 of the NBA Finals.

    The Cavs don't have cap space to add anyone big without dropping a few players

    f--- hindsight my eye sight saw Lebron abuse these guys going to the rim in games 2 & 3, and you're not gonna at least attempt to make the play to decide the outcome of the game? Cmon man

    Steve Kerr and John Paxon saved Jordan's a--- too cuz he made the right play. LeBron will always make the right play whether people like it or not. Maybe jordan or Kobe would've wanted the ball and took the shot, but that's just not the player LeBron is. Doesn't take away from the fact that there's no way they're even close to that position without him.

    Nobody was saying LeBron should've taken it upon himself when Kyrie hit a game winning 3 in game 7 last year...
