The calls have generally favored the home team pretty strongly in this series.  I expect that to continue tonight.

Might be the only way for the Warriors to win.  50/50 calls go their way and they hit 40%+ on threes.


Stakes tonight:

Greatest team ever, or biggest playoff collapse ever?

Greatest player of all time, or 2-5 in the Finals?


I just hope it's a good game either way.

I don't care how it transpires as long as LeBron loses. Lol

Even if he wins tonight, he's got a long ways to go before proving he's the greatest player of all time. A 3-4 record in the Finals is still not very good, and he'll have to get a couple more rings before he can ultimately challenge for that spot.

I agree that Bron will still have work to do in order to earn that mantle, but I think that if he wins tonight, that's a conversation we can legitimately start to have.  If he loses tonight, I think it might be off the table for good.

It's kind of silly that one game could possibly have such a huge impact one way or another, but that's how sports narratives work.

Game now feels like a toss up. If GS is cold shooting again the King will get the ring.

If I'm in Cleveland right now, I'd be pretty worried about what's going to transpire in that city tonight, win or lose, once this game is over.

Pierce laying down some smack on Lebron in the pregame show tonight!

"what pressure does Lebron have in game 7 tonight? He doesn't have to face me."

I love it!

Truth needs to lean in a little bit I don't like his posture leaning back makes him look like he has a big gut.

Lebron's going to get his tonight one way or another. GS has to focus on slowing down the rest of the team, particularly Kyrie and JR Smith.

Nice to see Barnes nail that three.  He needed a confidence boost.

Absolutely LOVE the Ezeli substitution.
