I'd much rather watch the Warriors play basketball than  either of OKC/Houston. At least Warriors have ball movement

Exactly, why get offended by greatness? I’ve been a Warriors fan for 25 plus years and I love watching LeBron James. Shame so many fans can’t just sit back and enjoy the greats. Brady, Trout, Kershaw, Federer, Serena, Phelps, Woods. We’ve seen some incredible athletes at their peak in this century already. Stop hating and appreciate greatness because some of these guys don’t come around often. Just look at Steph Curry tonight, that’s stuff we’ve never seen before, 

As for this series the Cavs bench is horrific, as a Warriors fan I would have had way more fear in the December version of the Cavs. Isaiah never got a fair shot, Wade was still a legit scorer and Crowder could have actually switched and guarded Durant with some level of success. You can’t win a title with one playmaker, props to LeBron for dragging them this far though.

Agree 100% and whilst I will disagree on the GOAT with Lebron fans, there is no question he is the greatest player we've seen in the last 20 years and definitely in the argument for top 3 player ever. I don't love everything about him, but he's a beast on the court. His biggest hurdle has been the Cavs ability to put the right team around him (which some will say is his fault as it's perceived that he is pulling the strings anyway). Firing Griffin as GM was a mistake and they never recovered from that for this season.

I'm not a Warriors fan, but have loved how they have played for the last 5-6 years and being a Bulls fan, have always hated the Celtics, but you can't but admire what they have done this after losing Hayward and then Irving. Brad Stevens is a GREAT coach, and players will look completely different outside of his system and coaching

That game sucked.  
Curry is kind of a bitch.
Draymond is a dickhead
I like Durant and really like Kerr.  

Gotta give the Warriors credit as they shot the lights out. I don't think the Cavs played that bad either. The game sucked on the scoreboard, but that was because the Warriors played real well. 

I don't like or dislike either team, but i can't take Draymond Green(i didn't like him at Michigan St.). How he's not doubled T'd up every game ?

I use to really like Curry, but his act is old. I remember when he went out their and played the game without the BS(he started doing a few years ago). I think he let the Fame and Stardom get to his head so that is why he acts like a ass on the court.

I HOPE the Cavs can win game 3. If not, it's probably a sweep?

If LeBron gets the calls most superstars get. He'd probably have more Finals wins

Question for you: are you as much of or more of a Lebron apologist than you are of Eli Manning?

Poor Lebron!

just saying

He gets all the call he should. It just seems like he doesn't because he whines like a bitch when he doesn't get the others.

That literally proves nothing. 

....well, if he's taken more free throws than anyone else in the league during the post season, that seems to suggest that he's getting his fair share of calls.

 So number of shots,  time on the court,  drives to the hoop,  using your actual eyes and replay don't factor in the equation? It's as simple as free throws per game?

Sure those things would factor into the equation....so would, you know, actual free throw attempts. You and Igotid are saying he never gets calls (or doesn't get as much as other superstars), yet he shoots the most free throws per game than anyone else in the league right now. That doesn't count for anything? I'm pretty sure he's on the court about the same amount of time as Durant, and Harden, etc etc....

I didn't argue that other players are getting to the line more often. I'm saying he's getting fouled and it's not being called.
