LeBron's stamina and focus has been amazing in this game. Cleveland running everything through him. Iso after iso. Still has fresh legs. Wearing down multiple GSW defenders. Competing in all facets of the game too. Not just saving himself for offense.

Perhaps making bold proclamations after 15 minutes of play isn't the safest strategy.Cleveland shot 19-44 and Golden State shot 19-45 that half. Such a "bold proclamation" to suggest that the Cavs can match up defensively. You know, like the stats have said all along about them this postseason. No no no, let's not confuse what you've been arguing the last several days. Nobody said they couldn't matchup defensively against them, everybody has been arguing against your claims of the Cavs being some historically good defense and having a "tougher" road to the Finals than the Warriors, which is absolutely absurd.And, again, let's not act like the Warriors haven't been shooting themselves in the foot. They've played a half-quarter of good basketball so far, and it's a 5 point game.No, no, no, let's not confuse what *I've* been arguing versus what the article said; re-read what I actually said before falsely attributing things to me. What I said was that the Finals going to be a lot closer than anyone predicted because Cleveland had been playing noticeably better in the playoffs; I then cited an article that supported what my eye test had been showing me, including some details on their league-best defense against the three-pointer in the playoffs.And, again, let's not act like this is a close game solely because the Warriors have messed up. Both teams are good offensive and defensive teams, hence why it's a tie game with the fourth quarter about to start.

I like our old friend Barbosa, but he's killing his team the last three possessions—2 TOs and a wild shot.
This Cavs offense is just as ugly as Houston with all of this iso ball.
