    I know the Warriors are a team, but how does your MVP suck so terribly during the playoffs but torch the league during the regular season? I guess he's just a regular season player. Kobe would never!!!

    The Cavs are better without Kevin Love. They might tell him to sit the entire series.

    These Finals/playoffs on the East side couldn't be more predictable. Who didn't know the Cavs would play better all around being home? Did anyone not see this coming after seeing how GS let up in game 3 and 4 of the WCF? Did anyone really expect a LeBron team to go down 3-0 in the Finals? Yeah right. The narrative goes on, I might as well not even watch these games they're so easy to call.

    Remember when I said the Splash brothers have more a legit chance of playing poorly multiple games than their bench being red hot multiple games? Well here it is. The Cavs should feel really confident right now and this series just turned on it's head.

    Doesn't seem to matter if it's the Cavs or the Warriors, whoever gets down big in modern day playoffs just concedes the game. No thought of comeback, who cares, we've got 4 more games. Terrible attitudes, terrible look.

    Seems like all the top teams are doing is sharing blowouts, the NBA Finals has been a let down.

    Typical Dubs throw away game. Games 4 Dubs win a close one, game 5 its a wrap.

    I'm also amazed at the let the defense pinball Steph around off the ball and then put Curry in foul trouble every game narrative by the NBA.

    I honestly think they needed to taste the sour flavor of losing again. Sometimes they win so easily they become complacent and borderline arrogant as if they got it in the bag already. They can't do that against a team with LeBron on it.

    I'm not surprised, I predicted 7. Cleveland is that much better at home. Empty Stats being hurt was a net benefit for Cleveland. Kyrie actually played defense!

    Curry wasnt even a factor, but Cleveland did play amazing defense against him.

    Yawn. But I won't be surprised if Cleveland is super cautious with Love from here on out. You know, for his health and well being of course...

    THIS is what I was afraid of....Everyone was calling "sweep" or GS in 5. That ain't happening. This one is going 7 like I said. I hope I'm wrong but the Cavs have figured somethign out: They're WAY better without Love. So therefore he should come off the bench.

    Curry's Finals numbers are... not good. Meteoric rise may have been a tad too much from the media. He's an amazing talent, though.

    Has an MVP in the same season as the Finals ever had a series like this?

    It's about time Cleveland showed up to play some ball, but I'm disappointed at how Golden State handled it.

    However, I think the impact of this is like the OKC series where they had to raise their game another notch to close them out.

    I actually now think we will see some good quality hard-nosed NBA playoff basketball that will be competitive. But why did it take until game four to get everybody locked in?

    The Cavs should be paying Barnes for knocking Love out of this game. They are WORLDS better without him on the court. Prediction - as soon as he comes back GS puts this series away.
