NBA FINALS Gamr Four......it’s a SWEEP
Golden State 108
Cleveland 85
Lebron with 12 total shot attempts and 5 turnovers in Game 4
Pretty devastating scene in the Cavs locker room. LeBron, ice on his knees, feet in an ice bucket, right hand wrapped in ice and a towel over his head is slumped back in his chair. Everyone else quiet with 1000 yard stares.
During the four games of the NBA Finals, there were 54 plays that ended with Stephen Curry on LeBron James. Curry held LeBron to 12 points, and the Cavaliers shot 36% as a team on those plays.
LeBron James suffered a significant right hand injury after Game 1 when he punched a black board in the locker room, sources report. He had 2 MRIs & has been wearing a soft cast. LeBron not using injury as an excuse but kept quiet to prevent Warriors from knowing.
A product of the hand issue? LeBron James recorded an average shot distance of 12.6 feet in Game 1. In Games 2-4, that average dropped to 8.4 feet.
Warriors forward David West says there was a lot going on behind the scenes that people will be shocked about when it comes out??????
Klay Thompson: “Passed up my Dad (for titles), so I’m pretty happy about that.”
Barkley, Webber, Grant Hill very critical of LeBron on NBA TV postgame. "He packed it in," Barkley said. Barkley said he intends to "slap the hell" out of any media person who ever again says LeBron is as good as Jordan.
Since Cleveland won Game 7 in 2016:
WARRIORS vs. Cleveland
11-2 straight up
9-4 against the spread
Outscoring CLE by 11.1 ppg
Championship win in 5 games
Championship sweep
LeBron James is now 3-6 in the NBA Finals — and has been swept twice......this his legacy!!
While the Rockets are the only team that is close to beat these Warriors. They beat them 5 times this year, all with CP3. They would’ve won Game 7 if he had played. That is both encouraging and oh so frustrating.
Warriors in the playoffs since Durant joined the team: 32-6. 2 titles.
4-3 vs Rockets .
28-3 vs all other teams.
