Which appears to have worked because Roberson was criticized in the past for trying to do everything.

As I said, the Waptors are going to be in an identical script like the Bulls when they faced LeBron...will win twice to tie series at 2 after 4 games. But, that's as close as they will come.

I will be shocked if the Cavs don't wrap it up next game.

Waptors...but, everyone knew that already.


It'll be interesting to see who comes out of the West...but, I wonder if Cleveland finally gets some glory...

Why? Did you just start hating them?

Is your hate as strong as yummy and the patriots hate?

Hahaha the hate started late last year. It's mostly directed towards Steph and his swag. Reminds me of Cam Newton always smiling at the cameras.

Don't get me wrong they have the best offense I've seen in recent memory but I'd rather see them show intensity rather than cockiness

So close to my prediction coming true. I thought the Thunder had it for sure after game 5, but damn Thompson can shoot the ball!

There's a huge difference between Newton and Curry though.

Should be darn entertaining tonight. Having seen 6 games so far, OKC has been hanging around even in their losses...if Klay didn't go nutbar with 11 3-pointers, would GS have won? Nope.

Anyways...dunno. Should be fun.

I am no longer surprised with what Draymond Green gets away with anymore. The guy could sucker punch you in the teeth and it'd be ruled part of the game.
https://streamable.com/o0mb

This was ruled a double-foul whilst GSW fans chanted, "Throw him out" to Adams.

Hoping for a good Finals. Not sure who I'm rooting for though. I have a feeling it will be The King, but I'll find out for sure on Thursday.

As a Celtics fan I never thought I'd be rooting for Lebron but here I am. The lesser of two evils I guess

I'll remember that night for the rest of my life. Our buddy hooked us up with the private room at his restaurant for probably 20 of us to watch the game. I've never been in a room so quiet in my life. Just complete silence for 2hrs. Didn't even say bye to each other when we left

On the other hand the Celtics forced him to leave Cleveland in 2010 so we got that going for us

I wanted KD to go to the finals.

Well, just a repeat from last year. All aboard the GSW train........ People on FB already talking about our warriors.

Knowing damn well they're Kings fans.

Nobody out here knows about the Warriors 5 years ago.

Unreal...how do you defend against the 3 when they shoot like that.

Anyways...we get the Finals many want: LeBron versus Curry et al. This time, LeBron has a healthy squad. It should be great theater.

I'm rooting for the Cavs. Cleveland deserves it...

If Klay and Curry continue to shoot and make those BS 3 pointers, it is almost impossible to beat them.

BS to normal people, routine for those 2

Cavs have been advancing a lot lately with incredible 3 point shooting. I think whoever goes cold first goes down.
