Good job by Kevin Love too. Did a lot of little things that made a difference even if he wasn't that great overall. Happy for Richard Jefferson as well.
GS played the entire game like they knew they were going to win. Absolutely no will or drive. They expected to make every 3 pointer and played zero defense. Really a pathetic game from the ex champs.
Congrats Cleveland. And lebron is in the same ball park with jordan. He's not Michael yet, but he's definitely in the same conversation.
Well said.
This series is like nothing I've ever seen.
Blowout after blowout then a close 7th game?
I doubted the Cavs, straight up DOUBTED them. It did look like the refs changed up in game 5. Lebron got NO foul calls. Neither did GS but that was definitely a series changer.
Thoughts?
I don't think the refs changed the series. I think when lebron decided to take over, GS simply didn't have an answer. As for GS, you live by the 3, you die by the 3. They beat teams for 2 years by shooting so many more shots than everyone. Cleveland figured out a way to not only slow them down, but make them miss. Something nobody has been able to do until the last 3 games.
Did you watch the same series I did?
Check the FT stats. The game was completely different when the refs started calling fouls. Steph Curry fouled out... He FOULED OUT?!?
I will agree that GS forgot how to hit a 3 and I will also agree that Lebron started to take over but I can't get past the fact that Lebron drove the lane and didn't get any calls for 4 games...

Great series though. Amazing.
Yes, I know what you're saying. But it's not that uncommon for refs to change their style midway through a series.

I agree, I've never liked her... Where's Craig Sager?
Sager works for TNT.
I spent the first 21 years of my life in Ohio....I would not have lost sleep had the Cavs lost but the win was SWEET!

The King is crowned. LeBron's legacy is complete at this point. Triple Double to close out game 7 and bring Cleveland their first major title ihn 52 years! Congrats Cleveland.

It was special that's why I wanted him there again.
He's been my favorite commentator. He, Chick Hearn and Marv Albert. I know the last two were play by play guys but I loved hearing them.

This Cavs win just about guarantees the Cubs will win the World Series this year. Amazing!

If Lebron would have made that dunk with 30 seconds left THAT would have been replayed forever but instead we got to see that beautiful come from behind block when he pinned Igouadals' layup to the glass.
I won't ever forget that block. I'm still excited about this series.

He damn near hit his face on the backboard. I thought for sure he wasn't going to get down in time.

I'm going to show love for Kevin Love too. He played amazing that last game. Keep this team together and it will be GS vs Cavs every year. Well only if OKC can't find a third piece to their puzzle.

Yeah, his d down the stretch was awesome....there was one possession in particular, late, where he just blanketed Curry and I think it ended up an airball or at least a very bad shot.

That very play you are talking about needs to be replayed too because that was an amazing defensive exchange between He and Curry. Glad you picked up on that.
I noticed that Klay Thompson was becoming more and more of a non factor too. I actually think he's better than Curry, crazy right? If those two can figure out what went wrong they aren't going anywhere for a long time. I do think that the ball movement stopped, shots stopped going in and started playing the same type of game that the cavs were playing and that was part of the downfall.
As a Cubs fan, I don't need to hear sympathy for Cleveland "needing" a Championship. Congrats nonetheless, as I completely understand what it is to be a fan of a team that never wins. (And it must really sting knowing the Ravens have won 2 Super Bowls). I don't like Lebron and I wanted GSW to win, but I've always enjoyed the city of Cleveland every time I've visited.
Does Kevin Love wear #0 because zero in tennis is "love?"
