Tristan Thompson

43 minutes, +32 plus/minus
5 minutes on bench, -18 plus/minus

That might be the worst I've ever seen for an off court plus/minus

Funny after he won a ring Skip shut up and went to guys like KD. Now that there's a very real possibility Cavs win the title for the first time ever on the heels of GOAT caliber play from Lebron, threatening Mjs legacy he goes back to pre-2013 Skip.

Steve Kerr is just blasting the refs. Calls 3 of Stephs 6 fouls incredibly inappropriate and said he is happy Steph threw his mouth piece. Fine definitely coming. Btw is it true that throwing it at a fan triggers a suspension? Not to say it's going to happen

Kyrie got kinda dinged today too with his left foot/ankle. Hope he is ok

Yeah I know but do you think 2008 Lebron is better than 2016 Lebron?

Not 2016 Finals LeBron. This LeBron is toe-to-toe with any player ever.

His games 1 and 2 haven't been that good, that could have changed things. That is what generally happens with Lebron in some of these series also 2013 vs Spurs he didn't start off well in those series.

Well they gotta do everything possible so Curry won't be focused on the game.

LeBron with a jumper is still unstoppable. Where was this all year, lol?

BTW, Curry getting suspended would suck. It's a game 7 of the Finals, I don't want to see either team have a built-in excuse.

RealGM has him at a 35.1 PER in the Finals. 117.0 ORTG/102.3 DRTG, 0.274 WS/48.

~31 PER for the playoffs, 0.285 WS/48 (120O/101D)

Must've deleted them. I can't see it on her twitter. Someone must've screen shotted though. W/e, she's already established her reputation before this.

This one was better than G5 for me (eye test) because of the command of the game. It felt more like a "perfect" game -- the decision-making was fantastic for most of the night, 1 turnover, just big defensive play after big defensive play, and the passing was absolutely other-worldly. I remember thinking in the pre-game that he looked very, very calm, and during the game got the impression that he came out and played chess to everyone's checkers.

I rarely say this, but I'm somewhat floored at the last 2 games. I LOLed many times in the 4th quarter. GS is still a nice favorite in G7 but those last 2 games were not normal. I think the only way he doesn't win FMVP (which is a silly award btw) is if Curry or Thompson have a 45 point game AND LBJ has a sub-par scoring game.

He's gonna need that and more to win game 7 on the road. I expect Curry and Klay to have their 2k cheese on...

LeBron after tonight has two of the three highest game scores in NBA Finals history. LeGOAT.

#1. LeBron, 42.5, (GSW, game 6, 2016)
#2. Duncan, 40.8 (Nets, 2003)
#3. LeBron, 39.2 (GSW, game 5, 2016)
#4. Jordan, 38.9 (PHX, 1993)

40+/10+/8+/4stl+/3 blks+ has only been done one other time in the last 32 years and that was by Dwayne Wade.
