    The Warriors look disinterested in playing basketball right now. They've mailed in quarters, halves, and even games this year.

    However, they know that they can do what they want 99/100 times if they tried. When they're in danger, they just turn it on and they pull away.

    If Cleveland is going to steal a game at GS, this is that game. Lebron is fully rested and ready to go, the Warriors are in relief mode after going 7 and winning the WCF on the road, and there's no Iggy to check Lebron. Not to mention GS has been so nonchalant at times even at home. But it all probably depends on whether the guys other than Lebron can actually manage to shoot decently on the road, something they haven't done a whole lot of.

    Agreed. Cleveland almost needs this game tonight.

    I wanna see the “other Cavs” step up and show people they’re not trash. It would be such a beautiful day if they win and Kevin Love wins finals MVP!!

    Excellent read that I think really embodies why I've respected this Warriors team all these years and what they have accomplished. Curry and company just play the right way and have this humility about them that is special, uncommon among the all time greats

    Come on Bron, smash'em on your own... or at least get the finals MVP in a loosing cause.
    I honestly have a new found respect for the guy.
    Now, hate away

    I'm interested in how the ratings will be, I wonder if the average fan has grown tired of GS/CLE? From the record ratings we've seen so far, I'm guessing they will still be massive.

    How about watching this together on GameTime fellas?

    Now, Bron losing certainly works for us, but I am going to root for him, for two reasons -

    1. I don't believe he can win this with that CLE team. It's just not going to work. I could maybe see him go nuts and win one game by himself, but ultimately, a 4-1 defeat sounds realistic. Which then leads me to:

    2. It's fun to root for an underdog.

    I’m not rooting for anybody. I don’t want LeBron to win, and I don’t really want Durant to win either, really soured on him. Should be fun to watch a series and have no rooting interest, after just watching 2 series where I hated 2 of the teams deep in my soul.

    Man, you don’t realize how skinny a lot of NBA players’ legs are until you see them in those pants.

    Fashion??? They're called the Calves for a reason. Them other dudes need to get fined for not followed the dress code. At least when folks say Bron don't have help...now we can say, nah bruh. He has JC.
