    This is why analytics will never be a substitute for understanding sports psychology.

    What happened to the "Kyrie is so overrated" crowd?

    Kyrie and Dame are the future of the point guard position. #FuckStephCurry

    Whoever stated Irving is overrated is foolish, and I'm not just saying that because of tonight's game. His defense is usually suspect, as per most PG's in this league, but his offensive game is probably the most well-rounded of all point guards in the league. He can get hot from three, his midrange is consistent (please work on this, Lillard...), and he's so good at driving and using the glass. Being a true point is his only downfall, really.

    I did a double take when they said Kyrie is only 24. He looks like the oldest guy on the court.

    I've gotta say, I've been pretty damn impressed with his defense this series, too. It isn't always leading to the desired result, but the effort has been mostly stellar and you don't exactly expect to get stops every time down against GS' back court.

    Watching Kyrie last night I kept imagining Dame in the same situations. Over the last three games Kyrie has outplayed my imaginary Dame, and is making plays I'm not sure Dame can make. Granted, he's going against Curry....

    I thought my "Warriors in 6" prediction was in serious jeopardy - big ups to LeBron and Kyrie for making it happen!

    That's so sad! Don't make me feel sorry for Kevin Love!

    LeBron James has the highest scoring average in Finals elimination games in NBA history. Higher than Jordan.

    Too late. You can't help but feel sorry for him after seeing his face fall like that. I mean, that's quitessential seeking-Dad's-approval moment right there. And considering who Kev's real dad is, that makes it even more sad.

    Assuming the Warriors do win, who's Finals MVP? I say Draymond. He proved his worth while he was there AND while he wasn't. Iggy was pretty quiet without him.

    There was another play in I think the early 4th, when there was a lose ball and several players hit the floor after it. The result ended up being Cav's (after a Time out) ball with 2 seconds left to get the ball across half court. Anyways I ended up rewinding it several times because Jefferson seemed to be screaming at Love after the play. I kept looking to see if maybe he was yelling at a ref, but there did not seem to be one close by. It looked to me like Jefferson was totally pissed that Love was standing back watching the play and not joining in. It was kind of an odd scene. Personally I didn't see the need for a 4 player to join the pile, but Jefferson was really agitated for some reason. Anyone else see it?

    I saw that too and rewound it to confirm he was yelling at Love.
