Just rewinded the play and it looked like one of iggy's strips, all ball

I swear JR gets no benefit of the doubt on 50/50 calls defensively
I came here to do two things: get lost and slice **** up & I'm all out of directions.

What a bizarre series.
Now that's the difference between first and last place.

Well, he made up for his late 3rd qtr finish in style.

Curry gonna get suspended, right? Threw mouthpiece at fan. Automatic suspension according to rules, I believe.

Curry could have draymond green'd that fan and it wouldnt keep him out

Man I hope not. What a lame way to end the season if so.

I am only 24, but this is the best I have ever seen a player play, let alone with the pressure of the NBA finals.

42.5 Game Score tonight. Highest game score in the Finals ever over Duncan's game 1 in 2003.

Initial thoughts on where this game ranks in his playoff performances? Might crack top 5 for me.

We get so caught up in scrutinizing this dude sometimes we forget he is one of the greatest to ever do it.

No way, maybe a fine not a suspension. Not for the fact they pretty much killed G.S from winning Game 5 as well. They would have no shot to win game 7 without Curry.

Yeah in isolation this is a GOAT caliber game. With a title casell be stronger in the eyes of most I imagine. Unless he plays even better on Sunday.

Game 6 @ Boston and Game 7 vs SAS seem like obvious picks for me over this one. Game 5 @ Detroit is probably still better despite it being slightly overrated. Game 5 vs Orlando lurking as well.

Yeah I think I need to adjust on the fact that this is the Finals against a GOAT caliber team. Might be just under Game 6 @ Boston then.

I would have this game #1 if LeBron could finish around the basket. He misses too many layups

I said here after 4 games LeBron was over-dribbling it in the post and many times over-passing.

He corrected those two aspects and it did wonders for his game.

Even I didn't believe the Cavs stood a chance after 4 games. And now they're in game 7 with all the momentum... I still think Golden State are the favourites here, and history tells us no home team ever lost the game 7 of the NBA finals and no team ever came back to win it after a 3-1 deficit. But I still have hope Cleveland can make it happen.

30.2 / 11.3 / 8.5 / 2.7 / 2.2 on high efficiency and elite defense over 6 games. No matter who ends up winning, he has to be FMVP.

I do like his end of game speech though he did look like he wanted to cry though when Craig mentioned he could win the title for the franchise of Cleveland. Makes me really want to pull for him now.
