Shhhh, don't say it! Until the series officially has the Cavs with 4 wins, I won't believe it.

Hell, in 1997 the World Series trophy was in the Indians locker room and they were engraving the MVP trophy for an Indians player. Not sure I really need to go into The Shot, The Fumble, The Drive, etc...

Well, FWIW, as I said earlier, I'm rooting for the city of Cleveland especially after all the heart-breaks the fans of the city has suffered over the years.

Screw Cleveland, they burned Leboner's jerseys and jumped back on his d*ck when he came back to town. I have no respect for Cavs fans or Leboner

Stay classy Pittsburgh...

Full disclosure, LeBron is still a massive tool. However, few things, the infamous clip of someone burning his jersey? That was a local radio co-host for a talk show on a rock station, not some random person. Second, it wasn't so much THAT LeBron left Cleveland, but rather HOW he did it. He's even admitted that it was a bad choice and apologized for it. That acknowledgement and apology is a big reason why people have welcomed him back.

Me personally? I just want to experience a championship parade, though my first choice for it would be the Indians followed by the Browns.

Edit: And yea, I know Yumcha. You'll forgive me and other Clevelanders for being a bit wary until that last game is a final though.

Cleveland winning means LeBron adds to his trophy case...and yes, he's still an idiot esp. with some of his antics and his prior "Decision" stupidity.

But, what he's bringing to CLEVELAND? Given the challenges and heartbreak the city has experienced with their sports teams over the years (i.e. Browns and Cavs), they deserve to celebrate a title.

Heck, the Clevelandites still have Johnny Manziel...that's enough suffering as it is.

The one that he went "oh he hit my face, i need someone to carry me off the court" one?

That s not even news anymore. People have been carrying him off the court during every Finals.

^^I saw it....lol the guard thought he was tough ("I'll remember your face") and the chick had that "oh shit he heard me" look.

Lebron is beasting, but at the same time, Steve Kerr should probably start coaching now.

Your hate of LeBron is as strong as mine for the Pats and their supple-soft balls.

He dove head first into that camera to try and buy a foul. According to the blood rule, he should not have been allowed to continue playing as he was clearly bleeding, but hey, it's Lebron so screw the rules.

Missed the game but apparently Delladedova came back down to earth and the small lineup killed a Lebron-lead team again.

I knew he would lose his game, because the media jinx'd it. All that praising

Finally Curry had his game. I was having flashbacks of Nick Anderson with Andre Iggy missing those free throws.

*sigh* Well, at least we still have the Indians and Browns, oh wait...

Curry put on one hell of a show, can't hope to win when the other team is throwing up circus shots and they're landing.

Sad part for Cavs fans is Curry isn't taking circus shots. He's done that all year.

Bron Bron had a few of his own from behind the arc however one person does not a team make.

JR Smith forgot to show up for the 2nd half. I think if he had even a halfway decent game in the 2nd half they could have given them a run.

Problem is every time down the court it's...
LeBron passes to LeBron who passes to LeBron who takes a circus shot.

LeBron and Curry consistently make circus shots. Curry had been contained pretty well until last 2 games. He's regressing back to the mean.

BTW, Lebron's comment how he's best in the world. Obviously true but he says that before this year and he gets ROASTED.

Pretty much this, it isn't just Curry hitting the circus shots though, the Warriors as a whole are draining the shots that eluded them in the first three games and the Cavs are missing the shots they were making. The Cavs just aren't deep enough to get into a real battle with the Warriors, JR Smith is doing more harm than good, and everyone outside of LeBron has forgotten that they know how to shoot a basketball it seems.

It wasn't just the second half that JR Smith has been the key. If he's even halfway decent in Game 1 (think he was 3 of 13), the Cavs walk away with the game. He's a decent player, but he's been far more bad than good the entire series. Delly and Shumpert are better defenders than Kyrie, but Kyrie playing also means that LeBron doesn't have to shoulder the entire load like he has to right now.

Much as it pains me to say, this series was over the second the Warriors won Game 4.

Why they have a player who was injured for most of the last several seasons and those injuries torpedoed any chances for a Title...?

^^I have no idea, lol. Rivers paid Hawes a ton of money last year. Trying to correct his own wrong?

I mean, Lance is like 6'6" 230 lbs with a 6'10 wingspan, so he has physical attributes to be an intimidating wing player, but sometimes I think he's a headache for his own team, IMO. Not sure he's a championship piece.

As meme material though, he's awesome.
