The man did all he could to try to win the game, his only poor performance really was closing out the Dubs in Game 3. Other than that, Lebron was a beast. You could see as the series moved forward, the Cavs were starting to figure out the Warriors and how to defend them.
Leaving Iguodala and Draymond were calculated risks that almost paid off. Iguodala just had a monster of a game today, and had he not shown up, the Cavs could have won this. Oh and KD hit some pretty crazy timely buckets (along with Iggy) to keep the Cavs at bay.
Great series, and the 4-1 final doesn't reflect how fun it was. Next year uli!
Congrats Darskhader!
Yup. Respect kay lebron. He keeps getting better at the big stage, especially since returning to the cavs in 2015. He could have been finals MVP 2015 plus a triple double this finals understates how great he was this series. Kd was just determined enough to get it done finally in the big stage. They just ran into a better team with the dubs plus kd.
3 out 8 isnt bad since we have jerry west goinf 1 out of 8 or 9. Winning the championship is no easy task.
5 best ko from legends up until the players now would be
Kareem at center
Bill russel - pf
Lebron - sf
Jordan - sg
Magic - pg
It used to Larry bird at the 3, but lebron has been a beast these past 7 years and he keeps carrying his teams in the finals with exception of the 2011 loss. Lebron is that good and a shot here, a defensive stop there these past 3 games might have pushed this series to 6 more games.
I think if you can get paul george on a rental it would help, im sure they would have to part with either kevin love, and even he is a big part of their system already. I dont know if a melo will help, kung melo ang kapalit id rather keep kevin love.
Plus the bench has stunk up the joint on the road for the cavs. Deron williams didnt do anything in particular for the cavs until game 4, shump hasnt been consistent and frye didnt see the light of day for most of the series.
I'd keep korver because his threat to make shots is still a big help plus he tries on D. Cavs also need a back up big for tristan thompson
