Rarefied Air
32 times in NBA Finals History has a team trailed 3-1 and ZERO times has any of those 32 opportunities resulted in a forced Game 7.

Vegas thinks NBA History will be made as the Cavs are currently -2 to -2.5

Kyrie Irving scored more points in Game 5 than Kobe Bryant ever has in a Finals game.

LeBron has more 40+ point Finals performances than Kareem, Kobe, and Magic do......combined!

Before Game 5, LeBrons BEST game when facing ELIMINATION Game 6 at Boston in 2012 (45/15/5).

EVERYONE knows that Kyrie & LeBron each scoring 40+ had never happened in a NBA Finals Game before......just how rare was this accomplishment? It was just the 5th time in NBA Post Season History that two teammates each scored 40+ in a Game.

Elgin Baylor and Jerry West hold the record with 86 points in a playoff game.
Akeem Olajuwon & Sleep Floyd
Hakeem Olajuwon & Clyde Drexler
Reggie Miller & Jalen Rose
Kyrie Irving & LeBron James (Finals Game)

LeBron was the 1st player since 2009 (Kobe Bryant) w/18+ FGAs in the first half of an Finals Game.

Is there anyone else in the NBA that would be allowed to throw the ball 50 feet in the air out of frustration and not receive a T?


Kevin Love played 33 minutes = 2 points & 3 rebounds......if Coach Lue is going to leave K. Love on the floor this series, he just can’t stand in the corner.



JR Smith's passing off drives has been kinda impressive

Big mistake by Coach Kerr staying too long with tiny lineup......it was like Kerr was trying extra hard to prove how valuable Dray is or something???

As cool as Curry's nonchalant passes have been, they are now just about always resulting in points on the other end.

Warriors are 68-8 with Curry, Draymond, and Iguodala in the lineup. Were 57-4 in the regular season......Golden State have yet to lose two Games in a row.

The Game was OVER by the end of the 1st Quarter


Warriors haven't won a game since this happened.



For the 19th time in league history, the NBA Finals reaches a Game 7

Home teams 15-3 all-time in NBA Finals Game 7s.

After 6 Games the unthinkable is happening......Steph Curry is slowly becoming the unlikable player in a series vs Lebron James = REMARKABLE



LeBron James has had 188 touches the past two games and turned the ball over 3 times.

In the Finals, LeBron James leads all players in points, rebounds (tied with Tristan), assists, blocks and steals.

Total points through 6 games

Warriors: 610

Cavaliers: 610

yet EVERY GAME has been decided by double digits......EVERY WINNER has scored at least 100+ points......by comparison, in the 1994 NBA Finals between NY Knicks and the Houston Rockets, all 7 Games were decided by single digits and the winner NEVER reached 100 points.

The Cavs have outscored the Warriors by 58 points in the paint, but the Warriors have outscored them by 87 points from 3-point range.

Game 7 will determine if this picture is just a singular moment or THE moment that determined the series!!!

bullshit. cavs beat warriors by 30 and 14 WITH DRAYMOND on the court. his suspension wasn't what turned the series. LeBron channeling his 2015 Finals is what got it to 7. period. warriors obviously still favored but Cavs have figured out several things. they are passing and rotating out pd Warriors switching to get the match ups they want, in particular attacking Curry frequently and often.

indeed Bomani Jones said, "i am having trouble thinking that a player can be the best in the game and also a total mark on the defensive end."

Who/what are you screaming bullshit about? Draymond?? The last pic in my previous post was from Game 6 when Steph was being ejected. My comments aren't about anyone being ejected, but the smirk on Lou's face. Notice how Curry is looking back at him......that's what my comments are about.

i thought this picture was in relation to the Draymond Green suspension. other than that i had no qualms with your post.

the entire world thinks Curry's ejection is funny. Tyron Lue just being honest. i think warriors already obviously favored but it would not be surprising if Cavs pulled off the upset

Best I can recolate, Draymond was never ejected from a game in these Finals. He was suspended from Game 5 due to the groin punch in Game 4, but the league didn't suspend Draymond until the following day.

yes i said suspension. many GS "fans" are blaming Cleveland's come back on that suspension as if somehow Cavs didn't beat Dubs by 30 and 14 with Draymond on the floor including in Oakland.

as to lue laughing at Curry, curry was acting like a petulant little boy, he deserved to get laughed at for acting so childish. if Warriors win today it has nothing to do with it, it will be because they are the better team simple as that.
sorry if the defending champs need bulletin board material to get pumped enough to win Game 7 of the Finals on their floor then they probably already lost

Fuck The Internet Fuck The World Lebron Just Humiliated Everyone

Wow Wow Wow, just WOW!

Golden State didn’t score at home in the last 4:39 of the game = UNREAL!

Warriors: 9th loss this postseason; lost 9 games the entire regular season.

Curry's ability to convince himself he can pass through defenders' bodies is never daunted by the evidence.

Golden State's 303 made 3-pointers this postseason, the first team to surpass 300 threes in a single postseason

Coach Kerr actually put Festus back in the game up 87-83 to give Barnes who got enough rest on the pine the last 2 weeks a breather???

Also, Coach Kerr has to answer why Anderson Varejao played the majority of the third quarter......Varejao played more minutes this series than Channing Frye, who expected that?

Can't say enough about how Bogut's absence loomed large.

KYRIFUCKINGDICULOUS was KYRUTHLESS



First NBA Finals Game 7 Triple Double since James Worthy in 86.


For the LAND

The Cavs checked history and reality by winning 3 straight, Game 7 on the road!


Check that D. Wayde, make that 1-2 without you...but big props showing up to support your boy!




^^^the above just ended up bing a singular moment, THE MOMENT that clinched the series and one of the greatest moments in NBA Finals History:

Look at the time = 1:54 & look where LeBron is (half court)


Look at the time = 1:53 and look where LeBron is (inside 3-point line)


Look at the time = 1:52 and look at LeBron's arm/hand (at the rim)


"The Block" played a huge roll in this stat happening:

Cleveland parking garage overlooking outdoor watch party:


Cavs fans somehow commandeered a Fire Truck:







Multiple reports after the game saying that the Cavalier team plane landed in Vegas for a team party at a casino before returning to Cleveland, but I have yet seen any pics posted.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA
NO MORE BICEPS KISSING AND SALSA DANCING


speaking of people being right or wrong i do believe you have crow to eat

lebron james UNANIMOUS Finals MVP ;) ;) ;)

I had seen this before. Back in the day, Houston was called Choke City because they gave up leads agains the Phoenix Suns that made the series 1-3 in favor of Phoenix. When Phoenix could not close it out for good in game 5, I knew Houston would win the series.

The same thing was felt by yours truly watching game 5. I thought ":these idiots in Golden State are letting their one opportunity slip away." Losing that game 5 deflated the Warriors, and set up all the shit from game 6 and 7.

They did not deserve to win. Good on the Cavs for taking it to them.

hey bytor, still wondering when if ever you will eat your crow?

SuchDon'tUnderstand, you are a sad and misguided person......just how many post have you deleted in this thread?




And let's not forget the negative feedback with this enduring message:
"don't be a bitch you breaking cardinal rule of trash talk by gloating on the bandwagon. where your rockets at? at least my heat made the semis yo"


I could go back to Clippers/Rockets last year, but I don't have the time. I'm tired of dealing with your juvenile ways......telling me not to gloat when this is all you do.

You see, I would have never posted the salsa dancing pic after the game if you wouldn't have gloated about it before the game. Because you did so - YES - I had a bit of fun with my reply......at your expense......only because you mouthed off about it before.

NOW - I have made observations between games about things I see unfolding or possibly happening, but those have been about whats occurring on the court and never anything personal at you.


LeBron dominated the last three games like he has never played before. It was a sight to behold, something for the ages, a thing legends are made of. YES - LeBron has always been good, but this was something different, he appreciated this one more and I do believe it meant more to him because Cleveland dethroned the Champions who had also won more games than anyone in the History of the NBA......you can see the difference:




I'm disappointed how Steph acted & played during the last three games. He did not show the killer instinct that he had so easily been able to do in series past. However, I'm a betting man and I had $50 on the Cleveland money-line which paid me $80 : )

Anyway, I've enjoyed some of our back-and-fourth over the NBA Seasons and I've appreciated some of your takes, but I've never cursed you, negative repped you or deleted any of my post concerning you.

Sure, I'll be happy to eat some crow, but not because I predicted or even wanted Golden State to win.

haha you funny with your passive aggressive bullshit. i eat all my crow on this forum and on this thread. stop being silly.

you can salsa dance all you want bruh i ain't mad at you i just find you hilarious

also you gonna accuse me of deleting or editing my posts to hide from you or from scrutiny? hilarious. dead battery said the same "sad and misguided" things about me on the Gira rape thread, stu put that to rest because he and you are wrong here. also, you say you don't say nothing negative but you trash talk me every chance you get. own it when it comes back to you
