It probably wasn't the best idea to talk trash to one of the top 5 greatest players in NBA history like that. LeBron just put up 41/17/7 with 3 blocks and 3 steals my friend.

Draymond hasn't been guarding LeBron much all series. It's Iguodala who does the job guarding him, but here's the difference. If LeBron's outside shot is falling, he can't be guarded, not even by Iguodala. If it isn't falling then he's fairly easy to guard. Just don't let him shoot and sag back and stop him from driving. Don't forget, CLE beat GSW by 30 with Draymond in the game in game 3 and quite possibly could have won game 4 had they not missed 13 free throws.

It's funny how things change. After game 2, everyone said the GSW bench was better than the Cavs starters and here comes the sweep, now they are saying that GSW can't even beat CLE on their home court with one of their starters out (Green). My my my how things change.

I think these are two great teams with two historic players and we should all just watch and be thankful for some good basketball.

Draymond can guard the paint better than any other defender on GS. That is where he makes a difference on defense. Yes, he isnt usually matched up on Lebron, but he is the one that will switch over, or come in to help if Lebron drives to the basket.

With Draymond out and then Bogut getting hurt early, there was no one who was going to be able to guard the paint.

Curry vs James? Shouldn't we be talking about Curry vs. Kyrie?

Did anybody take you up on that bet?

Warriors heading to home court, but they gotta be feeling the pressure of a 'choke', not to mention the freight train that is Lebron these last two games.

Should be a great game Sunday. I'm curious how Kerr's comments will shape the officials attitude. He knows exactly what he's doing, trying to publicly plant those ideas in their mind. Except he complained about touch fouls and the Cavs making cuts difficult in the same breath. I'm thinking the refs are gonna let 'em play in this next one; they usually don't appreciate being told "call more fouls on them but not us."

Thank god no.

Gotta give it to James; these last 2 games he realized he needs to step up and take over to win it. Watching the game last night for sure, and Game 5 a little, it seems the Cavs and GS, as well as Curry and Lebron, have swapped mindsets. GS is now crying everytime they think they get fouled and taking themselves out of the play, and that is something I cant stand.

GS will win on Sunday. Kerr has to make it a point to remain composed and chill with the sloppy play. That's all I saw these last 2-3 games. Now last night the refs were def on Cleveland's side.

NBA is rigged and this finals proves that to me. The plan is to get as many games out of the finals as possible.

Imagine the finals lasting only 4-5 games. The last 2-3 games brings in so much revenue that it's crazy. It's still a business so why not milk the finals and draw it out to a Game 7 where the Warriors will win at their home court.

Mark my words, GSW will win in Game 7. If not, I'll delete my E90Post account.





Shit just got real lmao.

GS just needs to shoot even close to what they typically do. You cant continually miss wide open shots and expect to win.

If the Cavs win, you delete your E90post account and sell your E90, buy an F30 and get an F30post account. Now there is a commitment

I dont know what the stats are but it seems like we've seen more 3 pointers in the last 2 series than ever before. Its really amazing. They shoot from 5 feet off the 3 point line and sink them like nothing. I dont know that I agree with the NBA being rigged but its certainly an exciting series. Sunday night will be awesome.

Curry missed a big deep three at a crucial point last night and the game changed. He had the perfect moment to fake the 3 and drive as CAVs were on their heels. Klay and curry need to play off each other and pick and roll with smaller defenders and get more foul calls while driving. Curry is not doing enough with his dribble drive to create for others. I would expect the warriors to use Kyrie's weak defense but they continue to pick and roll off tristan thompson's man.

Melo must be dying slowly somewhere while JR and shump are in the finals, it would hurt to see those 2 get a ring.

Congrats to the Cavs kept their composure and gave Labron all the help he needed to power them into game 7. GS lost the game all on their own, simply put, lack of execution. Cheeting, rigged, fixed....... Don't think so!

I'll take the Cavs 2 game win streak as a better advantage than W's playing at home but playing poorly.

The rigged comments from the tin foil hat folks drive me nuts. There is absolutely nothing a ref did that decided the game.

Look at the numbers - the Warriors lost the last couple on their own without help.

Better get your eyes checked and check the box scores. You all probably have Curry-lovefest visions cloud your view

Selective complaining is so easy. What about the 5 OTHER fouls Curry committed that game?

Also, how exactly does Curry's wife speculation even make sense? Curry drew that last foul when the game was already out of reach. The play after he left the game/fouled out, Cavs hit a 3 and effectively put the game away. You're saying Curry somehow would have scored 15 points AND held Cavs to 0 points in the last 4:22 minutes? Exactly 1 minute later, the entire Warriors starting lineup is taken out, Warriors went 0-2 and Cavs went 2-2 and added 5 more points between 4:22 and 3:23, right before the benches cleared.

I'm trying to throw you a bone here to try to reason with the speculation...but in light of just accusations and sad Jordan faces, it's just much easier to say it's all rigged....

That's cuz Melo was the problem all along!
He can't even play with the Jeremy Lin.. always gotta be complaining about something, but it's never him. He deserved it, kinda like Charles Barkley, sad to say, the guy is such a covert hater, he just hates anybody that wins. These guys that don't win in the end do it to themselves.

Anybody do sports betting? Whats the line on game 7?
