    Lebron is a fucking monster man. He's got so many miles on his legs with all these finals runs. Every year, he plays 40+ mpg in the playoffs and delivers in big games like this.

    Just ridiculous if he only ends up with 2 titles for his career.

    So...about that amazing defense GSW plays? I'm losing track of how many times teams have racked up 120+ points on them in the POs.
    Also, I think this is the most boring Finals I've ever watched.

    This was the most human I have seen Curry look in a couple of years. And it looked like Lebron Personally doesn't like Curry much. He made Curry his bitch tonight. Lebron's defense was beautiful to watch.

    No dude, didn't you get the memo? LeBron sucks and doesn't have a champions mentality. /s

    LBJ looked like a huge version of Lillard out there. I like Lillard as much as the next guy, but for as much hype as LBJ gets for being one of the greatest he should never be compared to Lillard. His drives to the hoop resulting in UGLY missed layups was kinda pathetic for being the best player in the league.

    If the Cavs win game 4 you will see the series pick up. Everyone knows the Cavs have got to win a game on the road.

    At this point anything more than checking to find out which team blew the other out is just masochistic. I'd rather watch paint dry.

    Nice product, NBA.

    I managed to sit through 3 quarters just fine. Definitely more blowouts this year than ever before but still compelling in my mind.

    What did the NBA do now? Not everything is a conspiracy.

    The teams figuring out the value of the three point shot is leading to more variance in these games, and that probably is the most direct reason for more blowouts. I don't think this is the NBA's doing as much as it is the teams figuring out what is most efficient. The three point line has been around for 30 years, and teams are just now figuring out how valuable it is.

    I think LeBron is already top 5 GOAT. His numbers and prolonged prime are just unheard of. He's been in the league 13 years and keeps doing this every year!

    Just nuts.

    Now, if the Cavs come back and win this series, that would be interesting. I'd tune in for that. I'd love to see the Cavs cut those smug GSW assholes down a notch or two.

    I was listening to a radio show yesterday and they were saying that LeBron has already had logged more minutes than Bird, Magic and Jordan. (not counting 3 Olympics) Yes he is past his prime, but he is still pretty damn good.

    I actually don't even know what days the finals are on. I actually forgot they were even going on.

    Nice try, media.

    Honestly these have been the shittiest finals I can remember in a long time. First year in a while that I haven't even watched a full 4 quarters of any game.

    I'll give it another shot tomorrow, but will turn it off again if it's not a good game. Maybe it's because deep down I don't care at all about either of these teams. Seeing Mo and the city of Cleveland get a ring would be alright with me, but I'm not excited for it. Seeing verajao the whiny flopping bser get a ring makes me unhappy.

    Seeing the Warriors get a ring after all the bs coddling would piss me off.

    Seeing 3 unwatchable games at what should be the highest level pisses me off the most though.

    Also Cavs fans were wearing the led bracelets too. Did we start another trend here in rip city or were they a thing before our series vs GSW?
