Where are those people that were condemning the Cavaliers for trading picks for Timofey Mozgov. Mozgov is definitely worth 2 picks, I told you guys this then.

Here's food for thought. How many picks could the Knicks have gotten out of Cleveland if they had kept Tyson Chandler? It should boggle your mind since Mozgov was two.

Lebron just has an amazing impact on teams. 5 Finals in 5 years. He's just unfair.

Sadly he'll add another Finals loss and people will continue to call him an overrated looser.

Golden State is just too strong.

I'm not to sure we should count out the cavs just yet. People said this series would be close and now look. Has to be divine intervention.

You mean once by diving, and once by being pulled to the ground.

What Korver(or any other for that matter) should have done is a non issue but his seemingly dirty plays that requires players like Korver/Horford to react in certain ways to avoid injury is a real issue.

If Stephen Curry hadn't jumped toward Ariza to contest Ariza's shot, he wouldn't have got hurt. Does that make the play Ariza's fault?

He is the root cause of reactionary mayhem like elbowing, kicking, and injury.

Bullshit. Gibson started the Bulls incident by pushing him over from behind, Horford pulled Delly onto him, and Korver was in the wrong place at the wrong time doing the wrong thing, while Delly made an entirely legitimate basketball play.

But this is a league that praised Kevin Garnett for his tremendous hustle to get back on D when he was too lazy to come into the front court to begin with, and was outraged when Allen Iverson dared to try and score against Michael Jordan, so I'm not particularly surprised.

The Warriors have matched their regular season brilliance with their postseason performance thus far, though. The Hawks aren't a good barometer in that regard.

Getting this Cavs team, with its youth, inexperience and injuries to the Finals, is Lebron's best accomplishment IMO.

People who call Lebron a loser or compare him to Jordan are f-n morons - ignore them. Different positions, different roles - Kobe is the cat you compare to Jordan, because their job was the same (scoring assassin). To me, he's a combo of Magic & Oscar. There are times when he can take over a game and impose his will like Jordan, but Lebron prefers to be the facillitator.

LeBron James finally maturing and realizing that the path to long lasting memorable greatness is doing what Kobe does and saying 'fuck you' to the stat nerds criticizing his shot attempts by carrying his team AGAIN to the NBA Finals, just like Kobe.

LeBron, first player since those garbage Celtics players in the 60s to reach the NBA Finals FIVE FIVE FIVE FIVE FIVE times consecutively.

Suck it haters. Hail The King.

This year's Finals (If the Warriors close out the series tomorrow) will be a duplication of 2012 IMO. Warriors come in the prohibitive favorites and will lose in game 5 or 6 against the Cavs, Klay will have a Harden-like Finals and the only player that will show up is Curry, probably Green.

What are you talking about ? 2012 Heat were miles ahead of this Cavaliers. Wade was better than Kyrie, and they had Bosh. Also Battier and Miller.

This years Warriors are a far better than 2012 OKC. More stacked and better in really every single way.

How do you know Klay will suck and only Curry will deliver ? Are you in possession of something none of us knows with which you could back your statement up up ?

I don't know what games all you LeBron fans are watching.

GSW is just too good.

Screw shadowgrin and his Lebron Bandwagon Est.2015.

I love how he'll get swept in the next round. Ez Pz for the Warriors. They practically won their championship when they beat the Grizzlies and when LBJ screwed the Bulls.
