How crazy would it be if either Cleveland or Golden State won behind big games from either Love or Brick respectively?

GS needs at least a decent game from the guy. He's gonna be open again quite a bit.

They'd look at each other in the 4th quarter like

I like that. .. Brick

But the thing is he doesn't do anything else well either.

Nothing

Is "Brick" Harrison Barnes?

That would be him.

I hear you Dre. Dude is basically just a body out there at this point. He's missing every shot he takes, he's not grabbing rebounds, he's not assisting, he's a turnstile on defense, hell he's not even catching passes at this point. You pass it to him and it's off his fingertips out of bounds or into the hands of the defense. It's sad to watch.

Any updates on Kyrie ?

Kyrie was asked about it but the mic was acting up in the press conference. But it looked like he said he was fine.

Lue also said he tweaked it and it should be good.

I haven't put too much thought into it, but maybe Kerr needs to stop starting small and go with Ezeli or Speights at the 5 to grab rebounds away from Thompson.

They are getting abused down low.

Cleveland is doing what OKC did minus having the undisputed best player in the world.

I didn't see any reports. And his side chick told me everything was ok. So I'm going with her word.

Who's his side chick?

So, OJ, THAT was the difference between who Lebron can be sometimes and other times... even if the stats look similar. I never got back to that topic to try to explain more but you can literally see it without having to look at a stat sheet. If I were going to pick one word, I guess it would be confidence.

I think my favorite site was early in the game when he backed Curry down and put a nice post move on him. He had a couple of other drives that he missed but they were the absolute right decision.

Two games in a row now... Green really has to get a ton of blame for the situation they're in now. Whether he deserved the suspension or not, he knew he needed to be on his best behavior and shouldn't have done anything to jeopardize his spot and his team. They had all the momentum, and when he went out James and Kyrie started building their confidence... and then Bogut got hurt. They lose again... and then Iggy gets hurt. Things happen that quick. He better come out balls to the wall in game 7.

The biggest story for me though is the defenses of both these teams. I really hope Bogut isn't this important bc that'd mean a repeat on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Cavs starters were text book in the first quarter and solid the entire game. We'll see if that can carry over to the road.

I really, really, REALLY hope Lebron can keep his head in this mode for one more game. Don't really care if it results in a win or loss, it's just who he should be and needs to be if they're going to have a chance.

I agree completely. LeBron played out of this world again, but Tristian Thompson was clearly the difference maker (there's a sentence I never thought I'd type in an NBA finals game).

He was grabbing every rebound in sight, drawing fouls left and right on key players, finishing at the rim and taking in alley oops, and even being a difference maker on the defensive end.

He made his case for why he got that max deal last night.

Re: The Finals: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden St. Warriors Part 2

Yeah the last thing I want to see now is Lebron having a subpar game.

Ezeli has been so bad it has to be tough on Kerr. I think he would like to go big and use the death lineup in spurts.

Re: The Finals: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden St. Warriors Part 2

Dan Lebatard cracks me up, but I don't know why he is obsessed with penis'.
First when he called Dramond a penis hunter, then a few days later after the Cavs win game 5, he says the proves Lebron is better than Jordan because he won that game with his penis, and Jordan never did that

The fact that he's been using Andy doesn't exactly support this notion. Andy shouldn't be seeing minutes in the 2016 Finals but the alternatives have been just THAT bad
