Imagine how different the narrative would be if JR hadn't fucked up, and if the Cavs had somehow made that last shot (whether it was Lebron or not).
Everyone would be talking about how Lebron is just an unstoppable force, who could beat an All-Star team like the Warriors on their own court, when surrounded by nothing but trash players on his own team.
Instead, this was a soul-crushing blow to the Cavs, and I doubt they can recover. They probably lose this series 4-0 or 4-1. If they won Game 1, they probably would have shocked the Warriors into semi-submission and at least made a good series out of it. Who knows? Maybe Lebron could have pulled off the ultimate miracle and won it all.
the fact the cavs were like -12.5 underdogs without lebron they are like 23 point dogs and he almost dragged them to finish line is fucking insane we literally get to watch in 1 hour if the possible best player most cerebral most scrutinized has teammates with any fucking heart live on tv im very excited
like 12.5 is when the spurs play the suns regular season its that ridiculous he almost did it
If I was to bet I'd go Cavs +12 and the under along with Warriors 3Q line but this game is throwing me off tonight.
Since I'm not betting lets see if I go 3-0 and facepalm that I didn't or be 0-3 providing that fade material.
Hot take. If Cavs win game 3, which I kind of expect them to eek out, this thing is going 7. Boston had us down 0-2 far more convincingly. I still think we’ll almost certainly lose, but the Cavs are matching up much better than I expected given how poorly we’ve shot.
When did this whole "Lebron stopper" myth about Iggy become a thing? Because they handed him an MVP award in 2015 because Curry choked? Lebron averaged like 40/15/9 that finals. If that's a stopper then so is whoever is guarding him this year.
Steph plays horrible but Durant picks up the pieces with an amazing game.
This shit is over.

the worst game ever coached. Why?
1- Let Durant go unchecked. The opposite of game 1 letting Steph go unchecked.
2- Take out your 3 most hopeful while they're still hot so they can go cold (JR, Love, Tristan.)
3- completely rookie line up that you gave no reps to all playoffs. chemistry?
4- Playing Kyle Korver at all.
5- LeBron 47ish minutes.
6- ZERO defensive adjustments.
good riddance Ty Lue. Bye Bye Bron - thanks for the memories ❤️

this ho knows her cavs
At 7:49 pm PST I am declaring the Golden State Warriors 2018 NBA Champions
See you in Philly LEEEEEEEEEEBROOOOOONNNNNN
Think he’s almost certainly going to leave, and still think Cleveland has way better shot than Philly. That Philly team really got exposed against Boston, and he isn’t going to a cold weather team with one of the worst shooters in the game in Simmons, and a guy who has had one healthy year. Like why wouldn’t he go to Boston if he wanted to stay in cold weather eastern town? They’re already better than Philly and would add him and Hayward(Kyrie would be shipped) to a squad that is already better than Philly and has more assets and a far better coach.
Still think LA, Houston. Cleveland, SA, and maybe Boston all before Philly. Adding him to Philly still wouldn’t win. Going to Houston or Boston is best chance to win it all.
I still think it’s going to be some Lebron and Kahwi or PG13 to LA eventually situation. Lifestyle with outside shot of winning.
well guess the cavs were done after game 1...
JR should be lucky that LeBron decided to beat the hell outta a whiteboard instead of him...
man how fucking pissed would the nba been if he had shattered his hand on that whiteboard...I mean jesus Christ those ratings would have been so low and might have been at levels that couldn't ever be reached again...
The NBA should've forced the Warriors to bench Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant.
At least then it would've been a competitive NBA finals.
So now we know it takes 13 black guys and 3 white guys to beat LeBron James.
However, every 5 years, some players like Stephen Curry, fuck up and give LeBron a chance.
If the Cavaliers win 15 games next season without LeBron, I would be surprised.

Boston would be the best fit for LeBron if it’s about winning. would be hilarious to see Ainge trade Kyrie right back to Cleveland, but they have the additional assets to entice Cleveland to do a sign and trade.
Houston I think is option B but I wonder how three guys who need the ball in their hands would mesh together.
I think Lebron and Paul George together in LA would be a better team than a lot of others seem to think.
I think Philly has a much higher chance of signing them than you seem to think, but as a Sixer fan I might actually prefer Paul George.
Both of the scenarios of Lebron going to Boston are hilarious. Most likely it would be Bron opting in with Cle then a trade. Either Kyrie getting shipped off somewhere else (3team trade - cle wont take him back/he wont go), foiled by Lebron again. Heyward getting traded would actually be funnier.....His first shot at free agency, he signs with a good Boston team AND gets to play with his college coach....plays 4 minutes and breaks his leg, then traded to fucking cleveland. haha.
