Cavs looked really good last night and shared the ball. It was good to see if a Cavs fan. I think that they go back to Boston and Boston will take 1 and this goes to 7 with Boston winning at home. Not sure Celtics can win in CLE.
And Lebron getting 44 while the Cavs were sharing the ball a little more is unreal. I will not make comparisons to MJ or anyone else as this is a different game now. But the dude is insane and glad I am alive to watch him play. Still don't like the Cavs though.
Warriors- I love Durant/Green/Curry, this is about as good as basketball gets and I love the attitude and the overall spunk of this group. However, I would really like to see James Harden get his chance to win the Championship. That would be awesome.
If Houston can win tonight and then go back home and win, I see them taking the series. This is just fun to watch though if just a casual basketball fan. Even RH Tig

Very intriguing series...

but the individual games this postseason have been horrific. One blowout after another.
I cant see the Celtics or Cavs hanging with whatever team comes out of the West.
To me the Finals is going on now, with GS against Houston.

There is so much money in it for each City, especially for cities like Cleveland, no way it can be rigged anymore. They need as many home games as they can get, so I just don't believe the whole rigged conspiracy. The athletes are too good, too competitive and the money is not being shared by a city, trust that one.

Right, each city needs as much money as they can get.

The NBA also can sell more ad time if they play more games. Thus, you get series that don't look competitive for 2 games, switch cities and it looks the other way, boom you get 7 games and all are as happy as should be expected.

Lebronski might want to go ahead and start working on his summer vacation itinerary.

cut into the lead a bit. It wasn't as close as the final score. The Cavs played defense about half the time in the second half and the Celts still struggled to score. They are now officially in the heads of the Celtics.
Cavs in 6.

this is why bron and his era cannot be compared to Jordan/bird and those guys....just he same as Russell and his era. Its not apples to apples. Just enjoy it and realize how athletic and great these guys are.
LeBron at his size is an absolute beast, his speed is incredible. They should do a 1,000 studies on his body when he dies.

for the 45 years I've been watching the NBA. They allow contact, but you can't dislodge the player. It seems they give consideration to the relative size of both players, but I don't know the precise rule. Small guards SHOULD have difficulty bodying up a much larger player. The Cavs do a great job of getting the switches that put smaller players on James, and they just can't hold their spots like a larger player.
One other thing they do is allow too much contact against larger stronger players when they drive the lane. Lebron gets hammered on drives. Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson commented after one drive, score and no call that "they could call a foul every time he drives the lane. They should have on that one."
