2016 NBA Finals: Cleveland vs. Golden State Part Deux

[Murat Baslamisli]

OK, that was a block and a half from Bron ! Has anybody scored in the last 4 minutes or so?

 

[kskate2]

it's been on 89 for the last 3 min. as for that block, it's been seen a hundred times, why Iggy thought he was out of the woods is beyond me.

 

[kskate2]

Cavs go up by 3 w/ 18 ticks

 

[kskate2]

Uhoh. Lebron is hurt when Green blocks his dunk

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Bron at the faul line...misses the first, still a three point game...makes the second, 4 point game, TO GSW.

 

[kskate2]

Wow. Cavs make history on the road. Big props to them. They deserve all the credit when they were getting lambasted in the earlier games.

 

[Carol]

Congrats Cleveland!

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Congrats to the Cavs ! Amazing turnaround, no?

 

[tossip]

congrats Bron , Kyrie, and Richard Jefferson...

Curry missed a lot in the 4th quarter and that was the difference.

Congrats to CAVs on making history.

It was the first competitive game of the series. Not really a great game from either team but it was gritty. Lebron stepped up in the 4th quarter after having a rough game shooting the ball. As always he was an all around beast, making big plays without scoring and that was the main difference. Green played great for Golden State but he was the only one.

This was not a pretty game but it was gritty. In a game 7 there will always be some major nerves that weren't necessarily there the previous games. Lebron was an all around beast, he didn't score well until the 4th quarter but he changed the game with the huge plays on defense on top of the triple double. An incredible performance to turn the series around.

Biggest choke job in NBA history! "Thanks Draymond; ya gave it away! Got suspended for game 5 and ended up losing in 7 with a 3-1 lead! Ya Blew it and it couldn't have happened to a stupider team!" I put this on the coach as well; overplaying Curry to break Bulls' record at the end of the season didn't help! The Bulls actually rested players and lost 2 of the last 4 back in '96, but knucklehead Kerr wanted the record and the Chp! "Was it worth it?" :nono :cover

GSW did not score at all during the first 5 minutes of G6 and last 5 minutes of G7. :laydownlaughing

They didn't deserve to win! GSW sabotaged every chance they had to wrap this thing up in 5; IDIOTS! :nono :cover

It kind of lets OKC off the hook for their choke in the WCF! :snicker

GSW looked exhausted in this series,credit to Kyrie Irving for that clutch 3 pointer.
Curry and Klay #splashsisters couldnt even congratulate the winners..#sourlosers

Surprised the Cavs pulled this off - I thought the Warriors were home and dry and a few days ago.

^ Lebron and Kyrie really just snatched it away. When the former decides to play with an aggressive mindset all game it is scary. Jordan and maybe a couple others could go out and drop 40+ every night if they are really dialed in and take over from the get go. With Lebron it's more like 30+ points, 10+ boards, 10+ assists if he's going all out from the start. The average for the series was 30, 11, and 9 and the last 3 games facing elimination it was 36, 12, 10. That's just ridiculous.

He has more game left than I figured he did, especially after last year when he looked run down for much of it. But they wouldn't have won game 5 let alone the series if Kyrie didn't play big for them too. Also it must be said that the Splash Bros, especially Curry, had a pretty miserable series. And if Green doesn't get suspended for game 5 for hitting Lebron in the nuts they may have taken it then.

First GSW come back from 1:3 to win WC and then they lose from 3:1 in the NBA finals. Cavs really played well in the last two games of the finals. GSW were up and down in the playoffs and they just couldn't get it going. Their 3-point shooting was bad in the most important games. I felt they panicked and tried to go too much 1 on 1 and force a lot of shots.

Cavs fought like crazy and deserved to win. LBJ was perhaps more relieved than happy. 52 year old drought of major championships for Cleveland is over.
