I disagree. Cavs would have been a different team and it'd have been a completely different series if those guys were playing. With Love and Irving getting a lot of minutes yes the Cavs are much more scary on the offensive end, but the Cavs wouldn't be nearly as adept as they have been in slowing down the Warriors O in this series either. It would have still been a very good series that either team could have won. It's too bad we didn't get a chance to see it.

The amount of Lebron hate here is hilarious. I picked GSW in 5, but you can't watch this series and not say Cleveland outplayed them for the majority of three games and is balls deep in a series they have no business being competitive in. Some of ya'll are ignorant fucks.

Not really. Lebron would be able to rest more with those guys healthy and not have the type of shit happen that happen last night when he went to the bench.

Series isnt over Cleveland can still win. LeBron isnt just going to magically have another ho hum finals game he is going to bring it. It's basically a 3 game series for him now and then the finish line.

Well they still have a punchers chance because of LeBron. But they have no depth and everyone on the Cavs were dead on their feet from about halfway through the third. LeBron was trying to rest while actually playing. Been an entertaining series but just how much do the Cavs realistically have left in the tank?

Not a Lebron fan and never will be because of his personality, but his performance in the first 3 games of this series was impressive as shit. Mad respect for grabbing 2 out of 3 from a vastly superior team with this dogshit supporting cast. His effort has put some extra miles on the odometer and will accelerate his descent to normal human being status at some point in time...at least until his docs come up with a better PED solution.

Jumping into the camera like a fucking idiot is one of the great all-time items for the hater highlight real too.

Cavs getting their pace tonight. If they hit some threes will be another nailbiter.

J.R. Smith played a good quarter! Can he play 3 more? 7 more?

The JR Smith game?

Was bound to happen eventually. Unless he decides to deck someone first.

This.

These days off look like they really helped Cleveland. Wonder if they can last 4 quarters.

LBJ looking for a triple double by halftime.

Thrones time, sucks to miss a great hour of basketball.

Chumpert should never be taking a last shot of the quarter.

Good, I didn't miss anything, tie ball game.

Sure is a competitive game for a series that was over after GSW went small.

If I am a Cavs fan I will never... EVER understand why the best athlete in... hell.. probably any professional sport chooses to shoot 25+ foot jumpers when ALL he has to do is take the ball... dribble the ball... drive the ball to the basket... jump... score... or be fouled....

Not a single person in the league... nobody... could stop him and no ref would ever swallow their whistle if he was even farted on. Yet, he settles for jumper after jumper as if he is MJ or Kobe in terms of his outside game. It is frustrating for me to watch so I can only imagine how it would be for a Cavs fan. The guy could, literally, be unstoppable.
