Curry was the MVP of the league this season but, James has been the MVP of the series. Curry is due to explode and they are at home. There have been lots of momentum changes in the playoffs. The Warriors seem to play good when their backs are against the wall. Their backs are against the wall at home with a pissed off Curry. If I was a betting man I would put my money on the Warriors tonight.

60-40 chance Cavs win. I think if the Ws do win they will have to do it by a large margin cuz I think a close game favors the Cavs.

The series between these two teams is just as crazy as last year. I can't get used to Lebron and Green both playing long stretches at center.

Green's line at the half: 22 pts, 8-10 FG, 6 r, 5 a, 2 s.

Wouldn't it be funny if he gets Finals MVP after the nuts controversy?

I know he's Steph Curry, but that was still a stupid shot.

It seems like three Steph Curry shots in a row where he had Love on him and didn't even try to drive.

Wow, that 73-win season isn't looking so significant now.

Congrats to the city of Cleveland. The Warriors looked different over their last 3 series. You gotta think Steph was playing hurt, because he looked pretty bad all series. He could not solve Tristian Thompson on switches and Kyrie just ate him up.

I mean...Lebron is a douche, but he is 1 of the best players to ever play IMO...41,41, and a trip doub to end it is pretty special.

“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

BTW, What was Kerr thinking putting Ezeil in for that 2min stretch where all they did is put him in P&R's. No Livingston for the final 8mins either instead rolling with Barnes and Ezeil is questionable.

I'm no LeBron fan but that was an unbelievable performance from him in the Finals, one of the all time greats. There will be one helluva party in Cleveland tonight

Steph was far from great in the Finals last season. I wouldn't play the injury card. His postseason performances to date are a mixed bag in general.

Are you referring to the series or just Game 7?
