260 games and now inching towards his fourth ring. How rewarding it's been to watch this dude's career unfold. A legend in every sense of the word. He won't let them take their foot off the gas in the second half.

People really need to stop overreacting to single game performances. Just reading through some of the game 5 comments and there was a crazy amount of doom and gloom.

Nah, keep pouring it on. I don't care what the margin is, LeBron and AD should stay in until the very end.

Nah, he'll get some easy buckets in the 2nd half because the Heat are exhausted and demoralized and he'll have a triple double. Also has 0 turnovers so far.

He just can't seem to bring it two games in a row. Saw on Twitter that he has never scored 30 twice in a row in the playoffs.

He left everything on the floor for game 6.

Played 45 minutes. Spent possessions guarding Lebron or AD.

Don't think anyone else in the NBA could feasibly recover well with just 1 day's rest.

47 minutes

I love KCP and Caruso. The two of them play so damn hard all game long.

Getting Howard out of there and putting Davis in the paint (on defense) has changed everything.

I have been pushing for that adjustment since game two. Even so, I never imagined it would work this well.

This is an obliteration.

He's near a triple double with 0 TOs and great shooting efficiency. He'll be fine.

Yeah I've really come around to liking KCP. Dude is a straight up baller. Can put points on the board quickly and he's fearless. And what a wet shot.

It makes the good times that much sweeter.

Give it a try some time.

How long is this half time, damn

First title clinching game for Lebron was a blowout against OKC. Mike Miller raining a ton of threes if I recall right.

Second title clincher was a 7 point win against San Antonio where the largest lead either team had all game was the 7 point margin it ended with. It was an incredibly tight and intense game that almost gets totally forgotten after the shear amazingness of game 6.

The third title clincher was the slugfest at Oracle that went down to the wire

Now it looks like the 4th is going to be a blowout

KCP is a warrior. Dude might get even better if he gains championship dna.

I won't lie guys. This feels good. Haven't felt this comfortable in a closeout title game since G5 2012.

4XFMVP incoming *knock on wood*

He's an elite role player. If he was like 2-3 inches taller, he would be worth so much money. He can't really guard big wings, but he's great on 1s and 2s. Big part of why the Lakers were never bothered by the guard gauntlet they went through in the West. Can't wait for him to shut down Curry next year.

They have gone to the small ball lineup with AD at the 5 twice this year, both resulting in blowouts. It was the final ace in the hole.

Only “bad” thing here is is James’ averages will go down and should have ended with that magnificent 40 point, 80%+ TS performance. Just needs a few baskets, zero turnovers in the third to try and get that 30 PER, 6th time through the finals, as much as everyone else combined before AD does it too.

I think he had 50 one time and then like 5 the next game
