Star where the hell have you been?! Used to love arguing with you about something, I'm a little too drunk to remember what right now.

Anyways, I agree 100%. Warriors win, Lebron wins MVP. I do think there is a chance that Klay could take MVP if he has another big game in a Warriors win.

If the Warriors won game 6 with a good game from Draymond Green then Green would have been the series MVP.

Especially given that they lost at home when he was suspended.

If Lebron has a decent game 7 then he's the series MVP win or lose.

Unless Curry scores 60 and hits the series winner at the buzzer.

For the Warriors to win with Bogut out, Iguodala's back needs to hold up and Barnes needs to remember how to get the ball to go through the hole now and then.

They make so much money per/game that it will definitely be a 6 or 7 game series. Expect them to split the first two games then when it's 3-1 or even 2-2 the other team will win forcing at least 6 games.

Spoken like a prophet.

I didn't see that happening.

Warriors were dead cold in their shooting. Even when wide open.

I don't think they scored a point in the last three minutes.

The league and the refs helped them in games 5 and 6 but the Cavs outplayed the Warriors straight up in game 7.

Good story. Good entertainment.

The Warriors best ever regular season record of 73-9 doesn't matter anymore. Down 3-1 and the Cavs never quit, clearly the better team and Lebron is still the best player in the world. I picked the Warriors for the win.

Cleveland held the Warriors to under 90 points at home- that had to be a first this season. Congrats to the Cavaliers.

So the Warriors were scoreless over the final 4:39 of the game.

The play of the game was Lebron coming out of nowhere to block Iguodala on a fast break with under two minutes to play.

The Warriors had the MVP, coach of the year, the best system offense, a deep roster, only lost 9 games all season, & had a 3-1 lead in the championship series.

And somehow they lost.

Congrats LeBron & the Cavs. You knocked off a JUGGERNAUT. .

Wow someone actually coming back to admit they were wrong. I thought that was one of those unwritten rules of this board never come back and admit it when you are wrong.

Curry and Thomas were off. Irving showed that he was a superstar. LeBron lead the team in an emotional comeback. Kevin Love for all the verbal abuse he receives was +17 during the 30 minutes he was on the court. The next highest cav was Irving at +10. For the warriors only bench players were in the+ column.

Its a great victory for Cleveland but great athletes beat the great team play and shooting skill.

What no post game riot? Cleve. Not a first class city.

Called it.What a game, I'm so happy for Lebron!

The Cavs in 7.

Lebron deserves it.

I predict Cavs in 7.

Your initial call of Cavs in 6 would have been right right if they handles things at home in game 4.

That seemed to be the pivotal game after the first 3 home team blowouts.

The great season enabled the Warriors to have game 7 be at home for them.

But they never looked comfortable last night.

Green showed up but Curry and Clay Thompson acted like they just had to make a shooting motion and the ball should go in.

They could not find any rhythm or set their feet.

I am not one to use the term "choke" because it disrespects their efforts and the winner.

But it kind of looked like they choked out there.

GS needed to win in five. They were out of gas by game 7.

And I will give all credit to Lebron James for 7 games of great effort.

Went to 7 with only the last game being a real matchup

Maybe because there was no great team play or great shooting skill.

Might of had something to do with it.

I was ready to say this is the biggest choke job since Pete Carroll overthought the last play call against the patriots in the super bowl or when the undefeated pats lost to the Giants.

But it was about as close of a game 7 you can get despite:

-Would have won 4-1 with green game 5

-No Bogut

-Iggy not 100%

-Irving playing above his level

-Barnes choked knowing a huge contract was on the line

-Curry hurt, definitely not himself

-Warriors with a tough road to the finals after chasing 73, meanwhile Cleveland didn't play a single team that would have been better than a 7 seed in the west.

Last year the Warriors beat partial strength cavs team, this year the cavs beat a partial strength Warriors. If my spurs don't grab Durant and make a run next year I would love to see these two teams with both at full strength

Pure BS.

Cleveland played the Pistons who by W-L record would have been a 6 seed seed in the West, the Hawks who by W-L record would have been the 5 seed and the Raptors who would have been the 3 seed. The Warriors played the Rockets who are an absolute disaster and wouldn't have made the playoffs in the East. They also played the Clippers who were a shell of themselves without CP3 and Blake Griffin and OKC who choked away the series.

Warriors didn't have to chase 73, absolutely cannot use that as an excuse. "We lost because we won the most games in the NBA history during the regular season!" Give me a f*cking break.

Certainly not during game 7 but the athletes wore them down. Also it hard to play smart skilled under physical and emotional duress. It affects the athletic players less.
