Kyrie and LeBron were truly spectacular tonight! Boy did they come out strong from start to finish. They definitely fought for this and earned it.
I had GSW in 6 over Cavs before the playoffs began. The suspension of Green was bogus, but mehh, whatever. Go Warriors!

How was the suspension bogus? Dude had been kicking and punching players in the nuts and the head all playoffs, you are gonna tell me with a straight face that he didn't accumulate enough to get suspended once? Never in my life have I seen a player and a team let off the hook for so long.

I actually think GS wins Game 6. Great response from the Cavs, tho. . What will they have to do to win game 6 ?

Not have LeBron and Kyrie go for 40+.
That game was easily in reach for GS, but every time they started to get rolling, someone on the Cavs (usually Kyrie) would answer back with a big basket to stop any momentum. Then Barnes laid a big fat egg, which is here Draymond's suspension was really felt because when that happens Kerr usually benches him and puts Iggy in his place. Never mind the defensive switching, rebounding, and playmaking lost.
Kyrie I would worry about because he's just been better than Steph this series imo. LeBron is LeBron. Wake me up if he can continue to make shots like this next game and then GS can start pissing themselves.

Draymond is a great defensive player. Top 2 defensive players in nba behind only kawhi leonard. LeBron doesn't drive as much when Green is there. With Curry not hitting his shots, they need to rely much more on getting more defensive stops. Can't get many of those without Green. He changes the pace of the game and how it is played. His defense reminds me a little bit of Rodman minus the legendary rebounding. Green is significantly better than Rodman on offense minus the rebounding. That is huuuuge impact across the board.

TNT and ESPN worked out a deal to allow Craig Sager to be part of Game 6 broadcast crew. Classy move

Draymond Green is about to be all over the place. I could see him getting too worked up and getting ejected. If Bogut isn't back they really really need Dray out there.

What I'm saying is that the Cavs ran away with it once Bogut went down last game and Dray couldn't' fill in. Dray is undoubtedly more important, but the presence of a big in the lane is also really important.

Why is Golden State making Barnes the focal point of the offense right now?

My joy is so full right now, I have rooted against the Warriors all year long and now they can finally lose! The Thunder broke my heart, and now LeBron can do what he was born to do. Game 7 is going to be fantastic

Will it? Every game has been horrible to watch from somebody who just wants to watch an entertaining Finals. This might be the worst 7 game series I can remember.
This is what I meant about LeBron. He's playing at a ridiculous level right now. This is his one shining moment, career defining play, these last couple games and why can't he play like this more often when you and I both know he could have been doing this from the start. Obviously he can't play at this level for a season. Nothing about the regular season changes his legacy anyhow. He could win every MVP until he retires but if he keeps coming short on the biggest stage it would matter. But a 4-7 game series? In the NBA Finals? After what happened last year? This should have been Game 1 LeBron.
Better late than never. Good for him for finally stepping up like he should. My gut still tells me GS won't lose a Game 7 in Oracle, but they got beat bad these last couple games and LeBron is playing possessed. All I ask is for a good game. Just one good game.

I'll enjoy either way, I'm easily entertained and have greatly enjoyed this series so far. I'm iust hyped though because I am literally the only person I know rooting for Cleveland; everyone else hates LeBron and wants the Warriors to make history. As for the series, yeah it's been just pure blowouts the entire time, but I'm a huge believer in the law of averages, we are due for a fantastic game from two good teams. In terms of Game 7, it's the Warriors' to lose. While Cleveland has played great, GSW has just been repeatedly shooting itself in the foot with Draymond, missing open shots, they're losing more than the Cavs are winning. History is heavily favoring the Warriors, and they should shoot better in Game 7 because the odds of shooting like crap for 3 straight games aren't that high.
tldr; I'm stoked, predicting a close Warrior win but root for CLE

After the OKC west finals series and now this, I don't think GSW deserve to win.
OKC felt like the better team for most of the minutes played, most of the quarters played.
And in the funsls, lebron and Kyrie are easily the best two players on the floor from either team.

NBA has learned a lot from NHL, the more game 7s, the better.

Why does everybody act like the game 7 was forced off the court? The tendency to cry conspiracy is alarming among people, I mean we have people who still claim Adam Silver dragged the OKC Warriors series to 7 games. If LeBron's team had lost a 3-1 advantage with the opponent's star putting up back to back 40+ point games, he'd have been murdered by the media and the fans. As it stands, nobody gives the UMVP any flak for his disappearing acts in two consecutive crucial series.

He was great in game 2 and tonight.

He finishes with something like 30/10/8 (22/6/5 at half) with a Dubs W then why not? Would deserve it.
