As for LeBron, he is a kid. The guy just wants all the attention on him and I really hate this attitude kids are growing with by seeing LeBron.


LeBron has basically been a model citizen since entering the league. He didn't be a part of any incidents and is giving back to the community. Sure he's made some unnecessary things, but he never took a swing on someone, which can't be said for virtually any star of the past.

Kobe was part of a raping scandal, Messi doesn't pay taxes and and is currently on the court. How exactly is LeBron a kid ?

all these disrispectful attitudes after dunking on somebody (when he doesn't contest dunks for fear of being posterized)


Then every player ever to dunk on someone is a douche. Except Kawhi Leonard.

You know LeBron was famous for his blocking in his first stint in the Cavs? Especially chasedown blocks. You remember that fantastic block against Splitter? You know he did get dunked on by Stoudemire?

I think Kerr should start playing David Lee the next game. Damn, he got back the Warriors back in the game on his own in that 4Q.

Lee should see more minutes, and I believe Iguodala should be starting ahead of Barnes.

I am happy for Delly he has being taking a lot of heat lately but he's working hard, I mean how many undrafted 2nd year players have being thrown into the starting lineup in the finals and have played a major role?

This, and where is Speights? He should be playing some minutes especially at times that Green or/and Barnes are playing like d-league pickups... Along with Speights and Lee, Kerr should also try to at least assign some decoy plays with Iguodala... He's a better penetrator than Thompson although his foul shooting is shit, he may stir the defense from time to time and may open up some perimeter shots for them (since it seems to be it's their weapon of choice)...

I agree with penetrating more. (Don't I always Shadow?)

The Cavs bench is well..yeah. Force the issue, get them in foul trouble and get to the line when shots aren't falling. I also agree with Iggy starting the games, he has little to no resistance from Barnes who just gets backed down like it's Shaq vs the rest of the league. Lebron is basically the Shaq at his position so can't fault Barnes that much.

Delly's a dirty bastard but there is no denying he's been the second most important player next to LBJ in this series. It's just absurd what this kid is doing. Chalk off Irving. This kid definitely earned his fame and done more than just replacing Irving.

That said, the Warriors are going to come back and destroy these thugs to ashes. This was supposed to be one of the most lopsided Finals in almost all Finals history, but props to dirty LBJ and Cavs for effort to make this at least bit interesting. Sorry Cavs bandwagoners but this is all you get this year.

Speights has only just come back from an injury, perhaps he re-aggravated it.

It might be a bit hard given his quick trigger and the fact his shot isn't falling, but I think Curry needs to pull out some of Paul Pierce's pump fake tricks to get defenders in foul trouble, and get himself to the line where he is still shooting very well (albeit not quite at his regular season clip).

Kerr needs to give Lee some more run. He provides rebounding and playmaking in the front court which the Warriors have had none of thus far in the series. Kerr put him in and immediately the Dubs offense started flowing - which it hasn't at any point in the last two games. I know his defense is suspect, but right now the Dubs need his offense in the worst way. Besides its not like Bogut and Dray are providing much defense or rebounding at the moment.

Why is Speights riding the pine? He got a DNP-CD in a game he could have been a huge factor in. He is arguably the best per minute bench big in the NBA, and he provides great floor spacing. Thompson and Mozgov would not be comfortable guarding him on the pick and pop with Curry or Klay.

Kerr needs to make some serious adjustments. He's being sorely out coached thus far.

Was drafted in the 2nd round but Tony smith had to play some big minutes vs the Bulls in the 91 finals. Laker players were dropping like flies

Is Kerr being badly out coached or is it more on the players, who need to play better??

I caught just small part of Vogel and Thibs in studio on the mike and Mike show. Anyone else catch it??

I feel like that dive at Draymond was a dirty play, but no one is making comments about the screen being illegal. Not to mention I think Draymond definitely flopped on that. Might sound crazy, but I would be willing to bet Draymond went into this game, set that screen knowing Delly was going to retaliate, and flopped to try to get a call. It's bizarre to me for someone to set a moving pick like that one minute into the game without it being predetermined. I still don't buy into the Korver injury as being dirty. I definitely don't think the Horford play was dirty, no idea why that was even a discussion in the first place. Taj Gibson play and this are the only dirty plays (out of those four) in my opinion. *Edit: And when I say the leglock is dirty, it's still of smaller degree compared to what other people are claiming (intentionally injuring, or intentionally diving at people, etc). It's just a lame tactic that shouldn't be in the game.

Also, I don't agree with people saying Kyrie being out is a blessing. All three games have gone pretty much the exact same way so far. Cleveland gets a lead early, controls the entire game, let's GSW back in late. I feel like Kyrie going down is actually what LOST them game 1. I think they were only down by like 4 with a couple minutes still remaining in OT. The injury not only ruined that possession but also took out the only player that can create a decent shot for himself (besides LeBron), which they desperately needed seeing as they pretty much went scoreless for the OT other than LeBron's garbage bucket.

One of my ongoing favorite things is Wade's refusal to call LeBron by anything but "LeBron James" on air when talking about him even when it's awkward or makes him sound like Stephen A. Smith. And with a grudging pause beforehand.
