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

Nyahahaha. If Batman is averaging 35 a night and robin would average 29 ppg id take it hahaha. Steph has nothing to prove, kaya siya gusto ni durant because wala nga daw siyang "ego" . Steph showed up and made up the difference from last year's finals. He has two rings and two mvps and im pretty sure he's fine sharing the spotlight with his teammates especially kd

Ganon ba kagaling talaga si butler? Hindi ko siya nasusubaybayan. Laking bagay ba if inadd siya ng celtics? I mean kaya ba niya magbuhat ng team?

LAKERS SUCKS!

I think Butler is one of the best two way players in the game. If we're talking about Small Forwards, he's probably top 5 right now. With Lebron at 1, KD at 2, Kawhi at 3, Paul George at 4, and Butler at 5.

Would I put my money on him to lead a franchise? Probably not. But as the second guy in a championship contender, he fits perfectly.

If Cleveland somehow gets him, this really improves their chances of matching up with the Dubs. If the Celtics get him, this doesn't do anything for them in terms of competing with the Cavs.

about the top 5 SF in the league.. imo si gordon hayward dapat ang nasa top 5.. and jimmy is a natural SG.. naadjust lang sa "sf" because madalas naglalaro ang Bulls with 3 guards on the floor.. ok si jimmy.. kaso medyo inconsistent din.. one night he plays like a superstar then the following night he plays so-so.. but i believe he can help IT.. just accept he's gonna be robin and si IT ang batman..

sa Cavs naman I hope they make a move kay myles turner.. i believe they have to unload some of their big contracts.. the problem is sino kaya kakagat sa mga overpaid players nila..

The Los Angeles Lakers are trading D'Angelo Russell and Timofey Mozgov to the Brooklyn Nets for Brook Lopez and the 27th overall pick in Thursday's NBA draft, sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne. The cap-clearing deal for Los Angeles, which sets the team up for a run at at least one max free agent next summer, was first reported by The Vertical. ESPN.com

i don't know if sinasamantala nanaman ng mga writers yung pag alis kay griffin sa cavs.. pero very possible din na di na kaya ni gilbert magbayad ng luxury tax in a losing season kaya bubuwagin na yung group of overpaid players..

Im sure they will be, but Ranadive and Divac will probably do something dumb with their pick. I'll trade you Lamarcus for the 5th pick kung pwede lang hahahaha

Wow, jimmy butler goes to the wolvesfor lavine, chris dunn, and the 7th pick! I kinda like the trade for both teams.

As a Kings fan Im hoping for fox, and maybe monk at 10.

Edit: dont like the trade for the bulls now that theyve also given up the 16th pick. I've done a complete 180 on the trade now that they took Markennen :lol: I thought they'd get some guy with big upside and potential (like maybe Malik Monk, or Dennis Smith Jr even though he's also a PG), but they got Markennen :lol: The Bulls are a joke. :lol: I hope D Wade has fun with this team. :lol:

Mixed emotions ako sa Butler trade..While its sad to see him go, kahit papano ok ako sa kapalit (Kris Dunn)...

D-Wade will mentor him...

As for Lauri Markannen, i'm somewhat surprised. Hopefully he fits into Hoiberg's system...

Minny's new big three hopefully works (Butler-Wiggins-Towns)....Sana magclick ito at maka pasok na sila sa playoffs....

Mavs got Dennis Smith. Nice one...Pero sana wag nila pakawalan si Yogi...Developing player yun eh...

I'm intrigued how the Josh Jackson-Devin Booker combo will work out.

NYK getting Ntilikina...Does this mean goodbye Derrick Rose?

Edrice Adebayo goes to Miami....Hmmmm....
