    if gs goes up 3-1, i'll feel more comfortable calling it. we've seen big home/road swings at times in these playoffs.

    IF the Warriors take Game 3, I can see the Cavaliers just folding it in Game 4. As a group, the Cavaliers don't come across as a group that have the collective fortitude to make a stand nor do they have individual players that have the mindset to go down fighting. Golden State has been impressive on the road and thrives in hostile surroundings. They have the Splash Brothers of course but they also have the emotional sparkplug in Green, the poise of Iguadala and Bogut's toughness.

    LeBron is no longer Superman, he's only Batman according to Colin

    He's in trouble in each year's playoffs going forward if he has for most part lost faith in his J. That's where his game needs to be strong as the athleticism starts to fade.

    He was never super reliant on his jump shot in his earlier career, though it was far superior than it is now by a long mile, it's like night and day watching him now. But LeBron has been an extremely gifted physical specimen who's bread and butter was his ability to dominate other opponents based on sheer size and athleticism alone. He gets most of his points in the paint these days which is still good for him because he's still in great shape to drive and dominant the middle, but what about his outside shot? With all players as they age, they lose a bit of athleticism and unfortunately he never started early perfecting his outside game, while his athleticism fades. It's weird to see and kind of disappointing considering he's been injury free for most of his career.

    May 14th, 2016

    ESPN's Dave McMenamin quotes Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue as saying the following about LeBron James, "I don't think he's been in this position before where he can just sit back and see the flow of the game, see where he has to take over the game and it's been great for him."

    What a difference good competition makes lol. One day he never had such good support, the next moment, Miami's supporting cast was better.

    But...but...Lebron makes his teammates better!

    That defense video really exposes how poorly he's played on D many times and blames others. Not a good look.

    I heard "If YOU aren't better this year".

    I took that to mean he wanted Wade to come to Cleveland which is why Wade gave him a weird look afterwards.

    Jackson should know that James is no Jordan and he has no Pippen and Rodman on his squad...
