The loss of Bogut for game 6 and 7 will be overlooked in this game.  Give him Ezeli's minutes and this is a very different game.

It's just going to suck when James joins the Lakers this summer with Durant.  But it's fun nonetheless. 

Beating the 73 win warriors is like knocking out George foreman

Ahaha you never stop, do you?  TP for the laugh.

Also, there should be absolutely no question whatsoever that LeBron is still the best player in basketball.

I see Posey up there, didn't realize he was an assistant coach with the Cavs.  Good for him getting another ring.

Seeing him half hug Lebron = barf.

Too many injuries for GS to repeat.

No, they should have finished the Cavs off when they were up 8 early on in game 5.  Not only that, but to be up 3-1 and lose both games 5 and 7 at home?  In the finals?  Inexcusable.  What an epic choke job.
It was injuries. Curry was never right throughout the playoffs. Bout was missed tonight and Iggy was not 100% tonight.

Injuries or not, GS had their chances and blew it, and Cleveland got it done when it mattered. Gotta give Cleveland credit that is due to them.

I really think that the deep rooted passion and drive is going to dissipate from Lebron after this. I think he stays in Cleveland and takes it down a notch and lets his teammates do more from now on. They need to trade Love for better fitting pieces though.
Why change if you are the champ?

I'm thinking the exact same thing.  Bogut was very important to the Warriors.

Then again, Cleveland was missing both Irving and Love last year.

Lebron James.  What a story.

I always said when I left the Celtics, I could not go to heaven, because that would
 be a step down. I am pure 100 percent Celtic. I think if you slashed my wrists, my
 blood would’ve been green.  -  Bill "Greatest of All Time" Russell

Won two in Miami. Brought one to Cleveland. Knocked off one of the greatest teams ever.  What's next for Bron?  Can he defeat the Monstars?

Lol.  Love it.  Witnessing greatness.


Something tells me you're  baiting

LB33 is always baiting.
I'm just happy for Lebron. I love seeing greatness.  The only player arguably close to him during my generation is Jordan.  And Jordan's Bulls won 55 without him.


 Did you watch Larry in his prime?

I think Curry clearly not being healthy was the biggest issue. His field goal percentage near the rim dropped and he had lost all explosiveness off the dribble.
