Some game that! If I was JR Smith I'd be a bit worried about someone spiking my Henny :lol:

I had resigned myself to the Warriors losing and having a wake up call. It was your typical Cavs game - if people ever asked me how good LeBron was, I'd show them that game. If they ever asked me what the Cavs were like, I'd show them George Hill missing a foul shot, JR Smith getting a rebound and dribbling out to half court to give the other team a window to win it.

Cavaliers on bench before overtime, game one. Look at LeBron's response at 2:20 when he asks Lue if the Cavs had a timeout left. Also, LeBron doesn't talk to JR Smith once, who's sitting right beside him.

The Cavs missed their chance to make it a series just like the Spurs did last year. I do think that no matter what the Warriors would win the series regardless.

LeBron had another outstanding game, but it just wasn’t enough. It’s pretty impressive to have 13 assists on a team of this low quality. Curry had a manic shooting run in the last quarter. It’s becoming difficult not to place him in the Top 2/3 players in the world. I’d say the Cavs win Game 3 at home, but the Warriors will close this thing out in 5.

He's the best in the world. People say Durant, but he can't impose his will like LeBron.

We'll see if it's a gentleman's sweep - that means Cavs win one at home so Warriors can close it out in Oakland.

KD is unquestionably an excellent player, and one of the best we’ve seen in years, but there are levels between him and LeBron.

I posted this on Facebook. My mom said there were two constants in her life growing up. That FDR was President and Joe Louis was "The Champ." My fifteen year old must think the same thing about the Warriors.

Scary is they are just hitting their prime.

Trevor Ariza and Will Barton have both expressed interest in joining for next season at minimum salary.

At Warriors' parade, Swaggy P announced his new nickname is Swaggy Champ and JaVale McGee is now Pierre Two-Times.

I wish Markus was here. Dwight Howard traded from Charlotte to Brooklyn as a salary dump move.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Watching all the pre-draft stuff, the name that seems to be disappearing is Jalen Brunson of Villanova.

I think some team will get a good, reliable, team leader with him.

I just hope that the Suns will stop being dreadful.
