LEBRON straight up beastin`.. surprising moment where he just shit talked the hell out of Curry after a block. Curry loses his shit after "another" bad call.. Klay walks out early wtf?

Crowd chanting "M V P" while Lebron is at the free throw line.. and he's nodding.

What a state line for bronbron:
- http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400878159

8 rebounds
11 assists
4 steals
3 blocks
1 turnover
41 points

 :wowthatwasnutswtf:

GAME 7 SUNDAY.. hell ya.

I really want GSW to win, but, I want Lebron to get another title even more.. So conflicted.

I guess when it's all said-and-done, i'll be most happy if Lebron brings a title to Cleveland.





on another note.. is there anyone who has had a mostly "negative opinion" of lebron, who has changed their mind? Two finals in a row where he's putting up insane numbers.

Lebron bullying curry for. He's tiny. Pick on someone your own size! I'm for dubs in game 7, don't care for Lebron's lack of humility lol.

lack of humility? I just don't think that has anything to do with humility.. He's amp'd the hell up trying to bring a title to Cleveland.

Also, curry threw his mouthpiece and hit a fan.... HEH... rlx.


also, I personally don't mind what Lebron is doing to Curry.. this reminds me slightly of the rough basketball of the 1990's. Teams actually hated each other back then, every series was heated.

just in case anyone forgot:

C'mon man what lack of humility? He's playing mind games with Steph and he's winning. What about Steph acting like a spoilt child when he picked up the 6th foul. Literally spat the dummy and it hit a fan in the front row.

haha. to be honest im just trying to find a reason to be invested in game 7. i like lebron being a villian more than anything else cause it means i can support the dubs as underdogs. But that's neither here or there. To be honest whoever wins game 7 prob deserves to win a ring so im not too fussed..

the team with the best record ever in the regular season, season mvp, coach of the year, being up 3-1 & no team in the finals ever coming back from 3-1, are the underdogs? Most people wrote CLE off completely at 3-1.. just sayin`... imho, cleveland is most definitely the underdog of the series, and in game 7.

Exactly. When CLE were getting blown away at the start of the series and were sitting at 0-2 GWS were a chance to clean sweep the series. CLE have the momentum now, but they're still the underdogs.

Has the loss of Bogut impacted GWS?

No i dont think any of that matters now, if you look at this series and this game, coming back from 3-1 is already done, so is regular season. reg season mvp doesn't matter. Coach of the year is regular season fodder. Look at the finals and only the finals, i think you have to conceed cavs are favourites. I dont know how the gambling odds go but in my mind the dubs are the underdog. Bogut wasn't pivotal last year's finals and he was on the bench while David Lee came up big. This year they don't have either after Bogut's injury. I'm not sure bout Andre's injury but without a Lebron stopper (and if anyone is that, it's Andre), Cavs shud have a pretty straight forward game. Plus momentum.

i dno, seems like it.. they got dominated in rebounding, blocks, points in the paint etc..

last year GSW went small and it ended up being the "secret sauce".. but CLE didn't have some of their big pieces (kyrie, love). so now we're seeing them play small again, and get wrecked.. lots of pressure is off Lebron because of how Kyrie is playing, and he is putting up huge numbers. Tristan is dominating the glass and paint.

i'd say it looks like they are definitely missing him.. and now that igoudala looks hurt, eek. they'll probably cortisone the F out of his back so he can play, but I can't imagine he'll be anywhere near 100%..

imho, the biggest thing GSW needs to do in game 7 is take care of the ball.. obviously curry/klay/green will have to come through with big games, but man they can't just give away the ball like they are doing. It's just wrecking their offense.

For CLE.. i'd love to see Lebron stay aggressive.. forget this 40 shit, hit 50. close it out. Love has been quiet, maybe he'll have a nasty game 7 out of nowhere. As long as JR, Lebron, and Kyrie are playing good, CLE is solid.. JR is a big piece imho, his threes are dagger-ish.

sure but.. if a lesser quality fighter is getting dominated for 11 rounds, and then has an amazing 12th round & has the champ hurt, the guy who has been dominating him isn't all of a sudden the underdog.. I get what you're saying but, to just look at it only from game 7, I just can't buy that.. hah.

the underdog is still the underdog.... ;f

So there are many interpretations about which team will get it, which 'deserves' it, what it will prove, for the team, for each player, for the coach, bla bla bla. And i am very itrested in reading all of them, even when i disagree, i am loving this bball chat in here, very well rounded and backed-up posts from many people.
But there is one thing that has only one clear undeniable interpretation : Lebron is by far the best basketball player in the world.
There is still room for GOAT status if you ask me. Whatever happens now the following years will be very interesting, but getting a personal title ( ~triple double 40p finals average ) vs the team with the best season record of all times, would be a huge adding achievement to this GOAT chase.

My observations. 

1) In the BTL video... Damn Kevin Love...  Could you look any more unathletic?  In those tight sweats and cutoff you look like the 60 year old soft gym coach?  Maybe you would be better off not losing all that weight and at least having size...

2) First comment I saw when I clicked it were "see... He is a cocky bastard."

Its racist codewords like that and complaints about his "lack of humility" that make me feel like I have to cheer for Lebron..

3) You can't just redefine underdog by saying "throwing away all previous data and going by how I personally feel GSW is the underdog."   Nah bro.  Vegas says Cleveland is underdog because all that data convinced them they are more likely to win.  Ask yourself why you "feel" GSW is the underdog? Is it cause Lebron is some scary dark skinned bully and you don't like it?

4) Yeah, I said it.  Dark skinned.  We touched on racism and how Lebron is impacted by it in the past, but you better believe colorism is alive and well in the narrative that compares Lebron and Curry...  Looking at Twitter you can see the heat Lebron is getting for things like "lack of humility", "being a bully", "talking after the block", "taking advantage of his unfair size", etc. 

Steph Curry through his mouthpiece and hit a fan and his wife tweeted some asanine BS about how the refs rigged it to make more money and the narrative is about how whether the calls were fair!

You know damn well that if it wasn't high yellow, light eyed Steph Curry throwing his mouthpiece but Lebron doing it the media would want his head!  There would be talk about how he is reverting to "being ghetto" and "can't control himself" is a "sore loser", "not humble", etc.  I might be on team-light-skin in real life but in this contest I just found one more reason why I should cheer for the Cavs and team dark-skin... Klay and Steph are great players but they are also the light skinned basketball royalty that the racist white media finds most palatable.  I mean what's up with GSW, I swear Andre Igoudala was some dark-skinned Nigerian when he played w Iverson but since joining GSW he looks like Andrew Redbone Igudoula...  Is there something in the water in Oakland that make you so pretty?  Every person I know from Oakland in real life look like that too...! 

Kinda joking... But not totally... Colorism is the silent and unmentioned and unconscious racism that has a huge impact on us as well...  Go Cavs.  Dubs great too!

LeBron on Klay’s comments about having his feeling hurt: "I’ve taken the high road for 13 years and I’m gonna take it again."

High Road. invisible bridge used to step over said person when open floor is available left to right.

lmao wtf?

what's rigged? Curry had ~2 bad calls against him, but everything else was a legit sloppy foul IIRC.

she mad.

hilarious in context to ghettoracer's post too.. ;f




if Lebron/CLE pulls this off, can't wait to see how lebron-haters spin this one.. maybe they'll diminish it by saying Draymond got suspended, or call it rigged etc. I'd like to see some of them come around though.

As far as humility goes.. how can you see Lebron's post-game interviews and such, and not be able to separate his in-game intensity from his outisde-game big heart/respectful demeanor/professionalism etc? That definitely is baffling to me. I thought he definitely gave Sager a bit "extra" when he yelled into the camera, asking how this could possibly be Sager's first finals.

dat dude.
