    If the Cavs had two of them, so that one could sub in for the other, I think they would win this (even if they weren't allowed to play at the same time). The trouble is, he's not 25 any more so he can't really play 48 minutes a night full tilt.

    The game got pretty physical...for the NBA that is. If you watch you'll see a shouting match take place between James and Durant. In the NHL you'll see real hard hits and even fights take place.

    I know it's probably impossible but if the Cavs come back to win this Series I will build a Lebron shrine in my place.

    It was aa small budget film right before those came out. I got to play an Iraq war veteran in a counseling session with him and Billy Zane as our counselor.

    Such a shame it isn't 2-2 now as it probably should be. Cavs still have a chance, they were 3-1 down at the same point last year and it makes no difference that it was 2-1 and only then became a 3-1 - actually it gave more momentum to Warriors.

    The main difference is Durant will play this time and Green won't be suspended. Still, knowing what is at stake, LeBron and co. are going to come out all guns blazing on Monday. They will know that if they win, they are probably going to tie the series in Cleveland next game and take it to game 7. Big opportunity.

    That title seems racist to Panthers everywhere.

    I loved the commentators reasoning/logic on why Green should not get technical fouls. He has been this way the whole season complaining about every call, he didn't get techs then why start now?

    If Draymond was a Trailblazer, there is only one guy that the national media would compare him to... Vegas would have a nightly bet on whether he'd foul out or be ejected.

    Green should have been ejected a few times last night. That eblow to Imans head should have lead to an ejection and a suspension. Green gets away with MURDER and people bitch relentless that he shouldnt' get techs because thats how he always is, thats not a good excuse. Thats like me saying I always rob someone when I go to the store so since i'v done it a bunch and gotten away with it then I should be allowed to do it whenever I want.

    Dammit. Now my secret is out! In all honesty, it was anamazing experience. I played an Iraq war veteran with 20 other guys who were actual war veterans. Billy Zane went off camera and began asking us to share stories. Things got real with people sharing stories about loss and death. There was screaming, yelling, crying, and real change made that day. Billy hugged us all afterwards with tears running down his face. It was one of the most powerful experiences of my life.

    I'm not sure what would be worse though...
    LBJ nut lickers who say LBJ is the GOAT.
    Or
    Laker BW fans who think they're going to "foreverpeat" because KD signed with the Warriors.

    Go, catastrophic sewage backup in the players' garage! Hopefully, it's deepest where Matt Barnes is parked...

    Well I am sure that my involvement in these scenarios points to the worst possible outcome.
