    Half of that statement is true, but not all the time.

    Basketball is still the best sport.

    Where's the glimmer of hope? The Spurs went up 2-0 and won the series. A real glimmer of hope would be the 2006 NBA Finals. Dallas went up 2-0 and then had a 13 point lead with just a few minutes left in Game 3 but Wade led them back and Miami ended up winning 4 straight to win the title.

    Golden state is just a better team there deeper and just more athletic. Lebron actually looks old I never seen him get his shot block as often then has the last two games. Love is not even in the series mentally and physically and Kyrie he just hurt the team by not getting them in the offense.

    Once you isolate yourself from Green/Bogut nonsense and bandwagon fans from everywhere who were bound to pop up once they got successful, Warriors are not really that terrible. To be faid I find it hard to be interested about these finals, I am completely neutral here which takes away any excitement.

    It's weird Warriors are finding it so easy when they've been properly challenged in two series by Blazers and Thunder already. Maybe it's lack of competition which did it for Cavaliers.

    There should not be any consequences for contact that is not illegal. Incidental contact is not a foul.

    I wonder if the Cavs will want to get out of Kevin Love's contract.

    I never saw Lebron as an all time great. He does have a great looking stat line, but something is missing. He's just not at the level of Jordan/Magic/Bird...

    It's like Lebron is an athletic freak who has been able to just overpower everyone, but as you said, it seems like there is something missing with him basketball wise.

    Yes he missing players as like of wade bosh and Allen all great IQ of the game. Now he has love and Kyrie that not on the same level of players as those 4. Plus Lebron has not look the same the first 2 games he look step slow matter there whole team has look slow.

    Still can't believe there were people out there who would take Kyrie over Dame. At this point, I would prolly take not only Dame, but also CJ over Kyrie. At least CJ competes and looks like he cares out there. Kyrie just looks scared of the moment. There was a moment in the fourth quarter yesterday when I expected GM Lebron to trade Kyrie before the end of the game.

    Love is so poorly used in the system. He's not a good fit with Lebron and that's unfortunate for him. As a Love hater (hah) in the past, I should be enjoying his uselessness but this is just pitiful. That guy is so talented and he's been made into a below average role player. Get him the hell out of CLE.

    It's funny how much of that happens with Golden State. So, if they all put on blindfolds and just flailed about (which isn't far from what Green does anyway) no fouls would be committed?

    I agree that this is how it looks. But it's funny how he was doing so well recently against other teams. Maybe we should give GS's defense some credit for making him look so useless?
