    I like it. Makes me feel like Stern is gone for good. Thank God for that.

    Hey JP. Just curious to get your thoughts. You think some of Damian's problems on D is because he is too tiny and that it's difficult for him to give it his all on both ends of the court. Why do you think Curry get's by with it? Do you think see this as something as Damian overcomes in his career? Does he have the physical ability to overcome it in your opinon?

    I'm asking because I agree with you.

    True but GM and coaching are two different duties. Look at Phil's job so far as President of the Knicks. Far from the job he achieved as coach.

    Jeesh, the Cavs are without 2 starters, and are still toying with the Warriors.

    That fouling until 2 minutes has to stop. Eye sore of a strategy.

    Idc what anyone says, a fully healthy Cavs team would beat GS in 5.

    Gutsy win by the Cavs. They could have easily mailed it in with all the injuries they have.

    The older I get the more I find myself enjoying and admiring Lebron. I might be in rare company on this forum but I'm actually rooting for the Cavs.

    I doubt LeBron is ever gonna quit again. Even last season in the finals he was balling.

    I'm with you. I missed out on appreciating Jordan because I was too busy hating him for being great. I don't want to make that mistake with Lebron.

    Agree. This is the Finals and that court logo is reserved for those 4-7 games ... just doesn't feel like the last series of the season without it on the court.

    Can't believe I'm typing this, but I am rooting for the Cavs in this series too. It's mainly because I don't think the Warriors are *that* good. I look at that roster and don't see one of the all-time great teams. I also think they've gotten extremely lucky in the posteason with the teams they drew. Memphis was banged up, they missed out on the Clippers and Spurs, two of their toughest matchups, Houston was devastated with injuries, and now a Cleveland team without Kyrie, Love, and Varejao.

    What has impressed me most in these 1st two overtime games is the defense..the offense has been ugly for long stretches but for the Warriors to get to overtime with Curry shooting horribly is impressive. Delladova did a great job on defense. I've gotta say though, Lebron travels with the ball all the time. He willed this team to a win, credit the man. Scott Foster is the worst ref ever!
    Mosgov is a great center and I've really not seen him play much before.
