How huge are the stakes tonight?  A bit of hyperbole, but arguably the titles of "Best Player Ever" and "Best Team Ever" are both in play tonight.  Scoff all you want, if Lebron wins tonight I think he has a case that at this point in his career, he's the best in history.   Likewise if golden state wins - hard to argue against the merits considering the competition they had to knock off.

I'm pumped.

I just hope they let the players on the court decide it tonight. That's all I ask for.

I think it's kind of weird that this series has hit 7 games or that we're all so excited for it, when there hasn't been one great game yet.  If I was describing a playoff series and told you every game was decided by double digits, you'd think it must of been a sweep or something close.  What a great series this has been without one great game yet.

It would be awesome though if this game came down to a last second shot or was an overtime thriller.  No more double digit lopsided victories please.

I want LeBron and Curry to each go for 40+, LeBron and Green to both have triple doubles, and maybe a little scuffle where a couple of non-star players get ejected.  Is that too much to ask for?

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

BullEdited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. he's not the best in history nor does he have a case.

I'm pretty disappointed that it's going to push my enjoyment of the "Battle of the ****s" back a bit, but I'm pretty pumped for tonight. I'm really, really, really hoping that Golden State pulls their head out of their arses and actually takes this seriously, because I'm not ready to listen to a generation's worth of Lebron riding until next season starts.

EDIT: Aww, that's disappointing that the word for fatherless children is bleeped out here lol

Bull**** he's not the best in history nor does he have a case.
he absolutely will if he wins tonight.  But that's a huuuge IF.  I expect golden state to blow them out.  So no point in explaining it to you at this point. 

But if Lebron improbably pulls this off, he's got a case.

Got bleeped out and edited it to Snowball in a rush lol!




I become addicted to game of thrones "read all the books and watched all the episodes multiple times" and due to me hating GSW somewhat and hating Lebron James a lot I will Not be to upset to miss the first half to watch my main family "the Starks" make a come back! And hopefully catch the second half and GSW win the finals!

Tried to stay spoiler free for everyone!
