I'm not sure if I'm upset or happy that Klay didn't break Ray's record.

Years after his betrayal, my feelings about Ray continue to be highly mixed.

**** Ray.

Just remember Ray took less money to join the team that just beat the Celtics in the playoffs, in heartbreak fashion. Unforgivable.

ANd is directly responsible for half of Bron's rings, ie, one.

**** that series man. Seeing Lebron win and Ray vindicated for his decision may have been worse than 10

Thanks you, sir. Always have to follow my heart.

This jinx was uncalled for

I'm sorry, dude. Was not my intention to do so. I guess I subconsciously want more basketball that badly.

If it's any consolation, the Warriors will let definitely take the series.

Just total sh*t. Now I have to suffer through being a witness for at least one more game. Lebron's punk a$$ orchestration of the league continues. He literally steps over the dude and gets him thrown out, makes me want to throw up.

Truth why aren't you using these mojo powers to help the Celtics for crying out loud? Ridiculous.

IIRC, the gentlemen didn't get suspended by virtue of LeBron simply stepping over him. They weren't playing a kids recess game where you're out if that happens....

Kyrie Irving is not a top 5 point guard they said!! Righhhhttt.

[The_Ghost_of_JB]

Irving and James were great. This is going 7 games. The thing is I have no idea why the cavs have not done this earlier: Let James take over. That is what the game play was last year and it worked with Lebron playing with YMCA all stars. For whatever reason James was passing. Cavs play like this they will win the series.

As for Love: they are paying him a ton of money to be an after thought on offense. 32 minutes, 2 points and took 5 shots.

If I had a Ray Allen jersey it would have been burnt. Alas, I am too poor to buy any jersey, let alone burn it.

Fingers crossed that Bogut's MRI doesn't show anything that keeps him out....

Same- never want to see a guy hurt.

But pretty sure laying in a heap in the same spot for 3 possessions is a portends poorly for a quick recovery. Can't believe GSW didn't call TO or foul right away

I would say he is. But he's probably 5th realistically lol. Curry - Paul - Westbrook - Lillard - Irving - Lowry - Wall would be my top 7 prob.

Wanted to quote you though because Kyrie.. People say Kyrie doesn't play winning basketball & he's a looser & this & that.

So over the winner & looser player type debate. Your gonna tell me JR Smith & Kyrie Irving play smart, team, sharing basketball? They've always been winners? Nope. FOH with that nonsense. It's just that they're on a good with with LBJ so now they're not looser anymore.

Same **** with Carmelo, same **** with Boogie.

With these zone defenses & over helping & whatever else, it's easier to hide someone on defense, than it is to get 30-40pts in a playoff game.

We need scorers.

The way LeBron pulls up when he hears the fan in this video is priceless. I try not to chime in on the Bron Bron hatred but could you possibly look any more like a big softie?

Isn't this from last year's finals? I definitely have laughed at this before.

Good catch. I hadn't seen it before. Still, forget Jordan - can you imagine Pierce pulling up to pout because someone fan heckled them? Jesus. You'd think after 15 years of fame he'd have gotten better at handling it.

Remember that Heat game some years back where Jeff exploded and we almost stopped their streak?

My dad and I were basically courtside and this drunk dude next to us screamed obscenities at Bosh the entire game, constantly (it was impressive honestly, his voice started to go at the end).

And I mean really inappropriate stuff about his wife, children, etc. I've heard all kinds of heckling going to sports games in Boston (and Philly/CT/Baltimore) and this guy was just vile. I had to tell the guy to shut up (he didn't) at one point and I NEVER do that ****.

Bosh never even looked in our direction but clearly heard the majority of it due to how close we were. Always had respect for Bosh after that. The guy was being disruptive enough to warrant security removing him, Bosh could have easily done/said something.

James hasn't wanted to take over, he's been a sputtering flame compared to the raging fire he was last year. He spent pretty much all game 4 passing the ball. Whether James and Irving can pull off 2 more historic nights like game 5 is another question, cos that's what it's looking like it's gonna take to beat Golden State.

I was questioning Love's role all of last game lol Richard Jefferson is honestly providing more for that team atm

[ConstableGeneva]

Kyrie was making ridiculous shot after ridiculous shot. I don't know how many contested shots he made, but Klay mostly played good defense on him. I think him and Lebron were 60% from 3-point area. James was suddenly making the jumpers he was missing all season. It was just their night. And it also didn't help that no one was protecting the rim in the 2nd half with Green suspended and Bogut getting injured. The trickle-down effect of Green's absence on defense was just too much for the Dubs to overcome. Kerr tried an unusually high number of lineup variations in the 2nd quarter alone. He was throwing darts especially with their bigs.
