    It was an absolute choke job by Curry and the rest of his teammates not named Klay.

    For all the talk about "winning it for Draymond" tonight at home... THEY SUCKED!

    Kyrie freakin' balled and he has been throughout these Finals.

    Lebron... eff him... he was actually cold in the 2nd half.

    This is just... awful.

    I hope Love gets out. Truly I hope he gets out. I mean I know he signed this extension, but I don't blame him for that. I don't blame him for wanting to be in a winning situation, but it's not worth the public embarrassment that LeBron doles out to this guy daily. Disrespectful.

    Kyrie was hotter than I think I've ever seen a player in the finals. At one point he was shooting 80% from the field and he was straight up making the most insane shots look routine. Ended up shooting 70% on the game while taking 24 shots. Insane stuff for a PG. That was unworldly.

    Not surprised at all. Kyrie is balling while Steph looks like a dog s***. If it wasn't for Klay in this Finals, Cle would be champions by now. I also stand by my statement, that last years Finals were a "fluke" and a healthy CLE team would have won.
    Looks like my summer might be ruined...

    Great performances by Lebron and Kyrie coupled with Green absence and Warriors missing lots of open 3s ...

    It won't happen again

    This is a series now, the NBA has opened the door for Cleveland, anyone can win, that's why I'm not celebrating anything til the Warriors lift the trophy.

    disappointed with how gs played defense in a big game like that. bogut being gone is not going to help, either, as varejao is done, and speights never began. need green to play a lot of big man minutes from here on out.

    barnes played poorly, but iggy was puzzlingly worse. sloppy ballhandling and passing in crunch time, a couple inexplicable sequences on defense where he gave lebron straight line drives.

    curry gets a pass from me because i'm about 80% certain he shouldn't be playing right now.

    but it was the defense that let them down. maybe green is that important on that end.

    They seemed to lose heart which happens when Green isn't out there making things happen. Bogut out means more minutes for maybe Ezeli or Varejao. That's not entirely reassuring.

    I now think it's Warriors in 7 but they've allowed themselves to get to that point. They don't always show the greatest sense of urgency. I think they are so convinced of their superiority that they believe they can turn it on and win any given night. That may be true, but it opens up possibilities that shouldn't be opened. If one more person gets hurt, this thing can go south in a hurry.

    LeBron and Curry had amazing games. Its hard to believe they can repeat their performance.

    GS choked the game away though. No defensive pressure was put on anyone. Only Klay came to play.

    I think you meant Kyrie. :)

    Pretty much exactly what I think. After that game, I feel like Warriors are taking this in game 6.

    With the exception of Game 4, the Finals have been a story of one extreme to the next and supposedly "stars" and "leaders" disappearing. It's been an underwhelming Finals, so I suppose that's the unintended agenda there? For the NBA to create some tension by suspending Green and extending it beyond 5 games.

    Kyrie's been the only consistent one... but even in Game 4 when he was the only who showed up, Wilbon called him selfish for it.
