Cavs had their chances but were undone by horrible execution down the stretch. See what happens when you go for threes instead of taking it to the basket? And I don't know what Kyrie was thinking on that fadeaway.

Any other star his size goes into the high post, low post, or ISO's on a player that much smaller (in fact, not just any other star, any other player, Kelly Oubre went 7-7 on Thomas in the Celtics series because of his size advantage). LeBron dwarfs Curry. LeBron takes a couple fadeaways, misses them (Because he's a sometimes shooter, and he can't rely on his jumper), LeBron gets right in the middle of the lane several times, and kicks it out to contested shooters instead of finishing at the rim. Draymond Green had 5 fouls with 10 minutes to go in the game, and continuously LeBron wouldn't go up when he was around, he would kick (not the Draymond type of kick, either). That is not smart basketball.
If it's not free throws or bully ball, or a combination of both, LeBron doesn't have consistency.
I said before this series to a bunch of people I work with, Kyrie is what makes this team go in the big moments. I said he would have to average 35+ a game in order to give Cleveland a chance, because he is the best one on one player they have. And, Kyrie did give them a chance (Including 16 in the 3rd quarter, LeBron had 12 on 4-12 shooting the entire second half).
I hope the Warriors just get this series over with in 4, and I hope it's a blowout.

The sample size isn't large enough to draw any conclusions.
I'm not fans of the Warriors or Cavs.

Same but Yes but it's rather evident the cavs transition defense is their demise
Wow tough crowd on James. A bunch of open 3's the cavs missed. James made some great reads.. Esp the one Smith missed late

Too bad Lue doesn't Put him in the post more often

The hate makes no sense...weren't these cats brought here to make shots? If LeBron makes the smart basketball decision, his guys have to finish. Love missed a layup, Korver a wide-open three. What's LeBron supposed to do?

I've not seen a single person applaud him, here or anywhere else. I've seen plenty of people say he's single-handedly ruined the league.Durant joins the best team ever and gets widely applauded for it.
