Yeah, Lebron'll get it done. Has no shot in the finals though. Maybe if he gets to face the Rockets without CP3.

LeBron has had monsters games earlier in the series without it being enough to beat Boston in Boston. Also the last team to stop LeBron from making the NBA finals was the Celtics.

Do you live in an alternate fantasy world where games are 24mins long?

The Warriors run was always coming. Game 7 should b awesome. Still picking the Warriors, especially if CP3 isn't 100% which h probably won't be.

This Warriors team is probably the best team in history at going on a 20-5 (or something similar) run as well.

no, one quarter is 12 minutes man...
, it is a defense mechanism that is supposed to absorb the impact when my favorite teams lose (unfortunately it doesn't really help) but the pessimism, the fatalism comes naturally to me for some reason...anyway, why can't these guys play like this or close to this for all 4 quarters? this would have been over in 4 ****ing games...as good as houston are, the warriors are so much better at their best...

for me the spurs pioneered this approach in 2014 (unselfish team-first play, fantastic perimeter shooting and lock-down defense), showcased by their destruction of a superstar-laden heat in the finals...the warriors then refined and took it to a whole new level...and then they acquired durant while keeping all their key pieces...having said all that, do you have any theories as to why they have been so inconsistent this season...steve kerr says he has no idea? you would think given the stakes they would play in a similar vein in game 7 and canter home but who knows which golden state will show up?

Their players are aging out of their athletic primes. Curry can't get the separation he once could, and speaking as someone who's had a litany of similar ankle injuries to him, I can tell you that every step is painful so I don't blame him. Draymond has had a dramatic drop-off on offence and even his defence was bad at times this year. Klay has been noticeably worse on both ends this year. They still have the highest of highs in them, like their patented 3rd quarter explosions, but their lows are much lower now than they were a few years back. Plus their "key" bench acquisitions like Nick Young have been bad and mostly unplayable, which is harder to hide with the roster getting thinner every year.
These four guys have played like 380 games each in 4 years? For anyone other than the cyborg LBJ that takes its toll I guess.

Boston really lost the plot several times in the second half. Great effort though overall. This is team could be amazing at full strength.

Tatum's a spectacular talent.
