    Meh. OKC should have beat these guys, then I'd have a team to root for. Total choke job by them. Now I have to watch Draymond "protect your nuts or I'll kick them" Green celebrate a championship.

    As long as it keeps the poser known as Lebron from getting another title I will be fine with it. Also it will again devastate the city of Cleveland and that is also a bonus.

    When we were forced to learn basketball in Jr. high, what he did in that video clip would have been travelling. When/why did the rules change?

    Poser? Please don't tell me you don't think he is the best player in the NBA? Currently, not all time.

    Other then the "Decision" which was handled very poorly and I'm sure was his think tanks idea, I don't get the hate/criticism for this guy.

    I don't think he really delivers when it matters. I'd say right now Curry has to be considered the best. I think Lebron plays in a weaker conference and looks a little more dominant than he actually is. It took Wade and Bosh for him to get a ring and he still even managed to lose when he was there too. I just don't think he delivers when it truly counts. He is DEFINITELY a great player but I just think he makes things about himself.

    HE definitely doesn't make things about himself which is why you perceive him as not delivering. I wish he did make it about himself because he's too much a facilitator and tries to get the whole team involved. Which is definitely important but sometimes you need to just take over. He's a totally unselfish player.

    Curry is the best shooter in the league, not even close but no way is he the best player. He doesn't have a complete game. James is great in every area.

    I think Curry also led the league in steals this year too. He actually can play defense. I honestly think right now that he's injured though. Thompson is lighting it up instead though. It's obvious the league wanted a 6th game and I'd say they consider the whole tussle between James and Green a blessing really.

    Hes an ok defensively, he doesn't get matched up against other teams best players. He has quick hands which accounts for the steals.

    The league didn't do anything but follow the rules. Greens an idiot, he knew one more flagrant gets him suspended, no matter how small the offense was. I was steaming mad when Ewing was suspended for stepping onto the court when a fight broke out during a playoff game against the Heat but it's the rules. And that cost them that series! GS will most likely still win this. Green should be glad they lost tonight, now he can be part of the celebration. I think this might go 7 games now, I can see Cleveland winning the next game at home but won't beat GS back in Oakland for game 7.

    Like Scottie Pippen says Bulls would sweep them, Curry would have to shoot from 3/4 length. !!!!!

    MJ & Scottie would hold Curry and Thompson to about 1o points combined while dropping 50 each on these 2.

    Lebron in a land slide here.

    I agree that the Bulls would beat the Warriors but they also would beat the Cavs. Curry is the MVP and he's obviously hurt. He's still really young and if they win this year he will already equal Lebron in rings. Lebron is more like a Peyton type to me. Yeah he can play but when he gets against the big boys in the west he folds. He's lost what 4 Finals? If he wants to be the greatest ever he needs to realize the greatest ever has already played and he never lost in the Finals and was the Finals MVP 6 times.

    Game 7 coming up! Curry fouled out and then got a T for throwing his mouthpiece, lol, love it!

    Unfortunately, I think they are going to blow out Cleveland in game 7 back in Oakland. Cavs have the momentum though so who knows. Hope its a good game.

    Man with some of those "fouls" they were calling last night I think it's pretty obvious the league wanted a game 7. Looks like the Warriors are running out of gas though. The 96 Bulls would have ended this series in 4 vs either of these teams though. Such horrible fundamental basketball last night. Lazy passes, no high percentage jumpers, throwing up every 3 they possibly could, missing free throws. On a brighter note though, it was great to see Craig Sager there and Lebron was incredibly compassionate and classy with him. That was a great moment after the game.

    lol come on man! Stop. I'm sure they wanted a game 7 but they didn't influence anything. The fouls were pretty even, think GS ended up with 3 more. The last two on Steph were pretty ticky tacky though. But he took stupid fouls in the beginning to put himself in that position so, his fault he fouled out. Wouldn't have mattered though, game was over.

    Definitely and its what people were pointing out during the season, that the physical play would take them out of their gme. Cleveland is being more physical with them then what they are used to and look what its doing to them, and thats not even half as physical as the games were back then.

    Agreed, that was great.

    Yeah the ticky tacky fouls I was referring to were the ones on Curry. Like the reach in that stopped a fast break on Irving. Curry is clearly not 100% but still put up 30 I think. It's a shame that he's not at his best right now. It would have been more fun to watch for sure. I'd say Thompson has probably been the best GS player in this series. They just seem totally drained though really. My buddy is a huge Lebron fan and he texted me last night and even he said that the fouls were really bad calls. He still thinks GS wins it all though. I hope so because it's just so funny to watch Cleveland lose in any sport.

    Kareem was MVP 6 times? J/K, I know it was really Meadowlark!

    That's funny that you mention Meadowlark. When I was a kid I was obsessed with Pete Maravich and playing basketball and there was a guy that I knew that would come to all the games and he would call me "Meadowlark" because I loved doing tricks with the ball and stuff but really I was just trying to imitate Pistol Pete and I didn't know who Meadowlark was at the time and was like "What?" LOL! Meadowlark was a GREAT man though!

    Well congrats to the cavs. Sucks to see the 96 Bulls lose that single season record to a team that couldn't ultimately seal the deal. Oh well. At least Jordan is still the greatest of all time. So lame that Curry got hurt because it would have been really fun to watch him go against a fully healthy cavs team. I hate every sports team in the state of Ohio but at least we'll never have to worry about watching the clowns lift a trophy. LOL!

    What a series, what a game 7! WOW. This cements LeBron's legacy, champion with 2 different teams and being part of the only team to come back from a 3-1 deficit, awesome.

    Disagree with you Blount, so glad GS didn't win, they won more games then the 96 Bulls but means nothing without the championship. Bulls will still be looked at as best ever now. It's like NE not sealing the deal with a SB win to cap their undefeated regular season.

    And I don't think Curry was so hurt as much as the Cavs just played him tough. Think he ran out of gas, long season and then a grueling OKC series and then this series and they were banging him around a lot.

    LeBron will win more championships, guy is hands down the most dominant player in the NBA. And Irving, wow, he's going to be the best player LeBron has ever teamed up with, he won that game tonight with that clutch 3 and was every bit as instrumental to them winning this series as LeBron was. Thats a great duo for years to come.

    That was a phenomenal game. I was pulling for the Cavs in a big way. I know a lot of people in Cleveland and they're great people. When I walk around that city, people are friendly as heck. Way more than Pittsburgh, unfortunately. Those fans are die-hard in that town and deserve that title.

    I was pulling for the Cavs and Lebron James the whole way. I think we found out that Steph Curry
    is truly a one trick pony. Lebron in a landslide, he delivered on his promise to bring NE Ohio a championship.
    I wish he would suit up for the PGH Steelers at TE. Those animals up in Cleveland will go wild they have gone generations
    without ever winning a thing.

    Even IF GS had sealed the deal I still would call the 96 Bulls the best team ever. I just hate that their record fell to a team that couldn't finish. I've heard some guys I work with that are huge NBA fans saying that Kevin Durant might go to either GS or SA. If that happens the west will be winning titles for a long time. The cavs should definitely send a ring to the league office though since them suspending Green was pivotal. Although if Green wasn't a moron it would have never happened anyway.

    You may have but everyone else would have been saying they are the best ever.

    Greens suspension didn't determine the outcome, Cavs won the next two games with him playing, so no reason to think the Cavs couldnt win game 3 as well. LeBron taking over that series had more to do with them winning then Green being out. GS may not have even been playing the Cavs if Green was suspended when he should of been when he kicked Adams in the nuts.
