The first play of the game was Lebron assisting Kyrie on a three. Not sure why they didn't give it to him.

He wouldn't be any good if he isn't the #1 option.
Having Melo with Lebron is not practical. He would be practical for us but not with Lebron who is already more efficient and scores as much.

Why doesn't Lue play Frye?

This just feels too much like game 6 against OKC. Though maybe the Klay supernova has passed this time.

Last time James had any game with no assists

4/1/12 vs Boston, the only other time was a 2/26/09 game vs houstom
I came here to do two things: get lost and slice **** up & I'm all out of directions.

Pick n roll d and rim protection isn't nearly the same without Draymond BUT......

Thank the heavens he looked for his jumper from the opening tip; made some and the floor is more open for him. Can't score with any kind of volume against an actual great team with all your shots coming from within 5ft of the rim.

Lebron from the 2015 playoffs through December 31st is a laughably poor shooter. Lebron from Jan 1st to now is an unremarkable average shooter. There's a difference.

Why is every commentator so proud of zero assists.

The single game variance Jules was talking about. LeBron somehow keeping pace with the splash brothers on jumpers.

Will Love do ANYTHING to help his team? What's the point of having him out there? Bench his soft ass.

No idea why Frye has zero minutes when Love is trying to compete for FMVP for the Warriors.

Lebron out here stopping 3-on-1 fastbreaks meanwhile Love has 2 points, JR fouls Klay left an right and refs call balls not even close out of bounds, sound familiar tbh.

Frye needs to do a vet move and take out love and give him concussion again

I think the 3 to make 2 rule JVG just proposed to combat the hack-a strategy is the best solution I've ever heard on the subject

Man Lebron has been so epic tonight. What an elimination game beast. Close this out, win a home game, and you got a best of 1 on your hands

This has been a marvelous two-way game from him through 3 quarters. Padding those elimination game averages.
But in his home dwelling...the hi-top faded warrior is revered. *Smack!* The sound of his palm blocking the basketball... the sound of thousands rising, roaring... the sound of "get that sugar honey iced tea outta here!"
