I don't think I've ever been this nervous for a game before. Even 2013.

I really don't know what to expect. Iggy being hurt with Bogut going down has ripple effects. This is the window for Lebron and Cleveland and he needs to strike.

Yeah feels kind of eerie. I'm sure 90% of fans are the same
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!"

One way or another tonight's result is going to shape conversations/debates that occur both here and elsewhere for decades... No pressure.

Hey JB who you pulling for in this game?
Pulling for Cavs but very hard for me to see a team that won 70+ games losing a game 7 at home but then again the Warriors don't have Bogut and Iggy seems to be messed up as well, so I think it is 50/50 chance.

Not nervous. Was more nervous for the games earlier in the series. Been saying it though.

Re: The Lebron Thread (2015-16 Pt. 4)
Ezeli starts over igoudala. They were 13-0 when he started this year, but i still like that if I'm the Cavs. And I think you have to draw some conclusions about iggy based on that info. It may be a matchup preference, but it's more likely about iggy's back imo

LBJ needs to cut his TOs like he has the last 2 games, and TT and co need to grab off rebound to offset the 3pt barrage by the Warriors.

What point should the Cavs pull out Love in the game if he isn't helping? Don't think they should wait too long.

Early? This is the big one. They need to be deploying max-efficacy lineups all night long unless it's a blowout early.

Before the game.
I hope he hits a couple of threes or gets early fouls coz him being out there will hurt us...

Re: The Lebron Thread (2015-16 Pt. 4)
538 and ESPN odds forecast suggests that the Warriors have a 65% chance of winning. I would probably say it would be slightly higher since the Warriors are at home and I am expecting a Curry and Green show. I hope that Curry and Lebron play great and that the game is tied going into the final minute...no more blowouts!

I know they showed Lebron is 0-2 in game 7 on the road but this is different because the 2006 team and 2008 teams were really outclassed. This team now is an actual good team we are talking two #1 seeds going head to head. BTW last MVP to lose game 7 at home of the finals that I remember was Kareem in 1974 to the Celtics.

Re: The Lebron Thread (2015-16 Pt. 4)
Love should be a lot more useful here with a big man to play against.
Aren't the Cavs in a big plus whenever Warriors play a big man beside Green? But who knows, Ezeli probably gonna get 10 rebounds first quarter.

I was just thinking that. We'll see what Lebron does, but Green is clicking right now, which is likely going to be a problem for the Cavs. Warriors D looks good about now, but we still need to see first subs and everything else.
