At least Steph Curry showed last night why he is the MVP. Wait, what?

It's King James tho.

Refs...especially if you watched game 6

not to mention you are blind if you think they don't. You know the amount of money they miss out on if a series such as OKC vs GSW had ended in game 5.

Pat dye is pulling all the strings.

Lay-Bron's team got worked like a rented mule last night. 33 points. This postseason has been a series of blowouts.

I would think if there was a fix in, you would have had Durant and Lebron with lebron taking the whole thing.

I don't think the Nba particularly likes the Warriors. They are a fly in the ointment. They are David slaying Goliath. I love it. And better yet I love seeing lebron cry like a baby and heading to 2-5 unless the cavs pull off some comeback. His ass also finally called for traveling last night after ten years of doing it. Hallelujah.

Damn, what was the point spread? For there to be such a "fix" to these NBA games I'm guessing the spread was 30 points?

You didn't see how dejected Lebron was before Game 2?

Wanna bet Cavs win tonight by more than 10 points?

I'll take that bet with any amount you want to wager. I'll go so far as to say the Cavs won't win at all tonight.

I'll let you know on the bet as soon as I check on Curry's demeanor.

Well duh! We all saw Clay Thompson's demeanor right before the game.

In all srsness, If the NBA is fixing these games, ur doin' it rong. 30 point blowouts are NOT entertaining. That will cause ratings to plummet.

What I've been saying. There has been game rigging before. It just ain't in these playoffs.

Wow.

Got off the mat from down 3-1.

Ok I wanna hear the conspiracy talk in the other direction now.

And the shit town of Cleveland finally gets a title.

Haters. No more thought of diminished legacy. Lebron has won 3. Been to 6 straight. Dude goes down as one of the all-time greats no matter how anyone wants to spin it. Down 3-1 and won 2 on the home floor of the team that set the record for wins? Yep!

He screwed up the entire move to Miami. He later admitted he F'd that up. Other than that media snafu, name another reason to hate the guy. With 3 in the books and 3 other trips, there's no more...."Yeah but...."

LB's biggest problem is that he is too unselfish. He can get to the bucket every single time down the floor and either hit or draw a foul. He made too many passes in first few games. You could see a difference in game 5. He had a lot of help from Irvin who deserves some major applause in this series, but you could tell LeBron was determined to win.

The difference between he and MJ is that MJ ALWAYS took over the game. Not saying he was a hotdog, just saying he was the best player on the floor and wasn't ashamed of it. LeBron could easily be the same player, he just chooses to pass.

I get what you're saying. And spot on too. I think the only thing that separates them is circumstances. His first trip to the Finals in Cleveland, he had no chance. It was him against the world. Last year, without Irving or Love, it was again, him against the world with even less help than his first go around in Cleveland. Give the guy some help and he may have 4-5 rings and then it's game on for greatest ever. But right now, there's 38 players with more rings than Lebron. Most of them role players but names like Jordan, Bill Russell, Shaq, Kobe etc. have more. Different era??? Maybe. But to me, Lebron is on par with any of them.
