As objectively as I can: 

1. Love starts on pretty much every team but maybe Golden State. He's a good player. 

2.  Thompson is grossly overpaid but is a legitimate/average NBA player/starting center. 

3. George Hill isn't bad and probably qualifies as an "average NBA player." 

4. Korver, Nance, Clarkson, JR Smith, and Jeff Green probably all have a niche place on most rosters. 

So, he's got one "good" teammate, two legitimate to average players/starters and a slew of niche below-average players.  Pretty weak.

JR Smith ####ed that up...Hill choking at the line...and I get you have a clear guy cutting to the basket.  But LeBron needs to have that killer instinct and take the last shot with no time left rather than pass to Hill.

Lebron was incredible.  That was a great pass and the odds of something good happening exceeded him taking a 20 ft. jumper.

How so?

Im a huge fan of his...guy should have a ton more assists tonight...there are about 4 seconds left when the foul is called.  I want the ball in his hands, not George Hill and them relying on Smith not be an idiot in this instance.

Im not saying it makes James bad...just thought he should take the last shot there. Curry on him at the time too?

 
I don't think the Cavs are going to implode. I think they think they can play with the Warriors and will give a good game 2.

Do you not understand how basketball works?  His teammates have to make their shots for him to get an assist.  His teammates mostly suck.  Connect the dots. 

 
LeBron needs 97 points the rest of the series for most points in a single postseason. 663 points after today. Jordan is #1 at 759

 
One thing I would like to see Lebron do is take the ball right at Draymond every possession, talking trash in his face until he fouled out or lost it and got himself tossed.  That guy is a head case waiting to erupt.

Holy ####...yes, that’s my point. His teammates missed wide open shots.  That is part of why I say he should be the one taking the shot.  He carries that team.  I get it if he gets doubled and passes to a wide open guy.  That’s not what happened.

Im saying his teammates sucks...that strengthens my point that he should take the last shot.

His take is bad, but that is what he was saying. He should have a ton of assists, but his guys missed some shots.

They were closing the game out and he just hit a big 3. I have no problem with him celebrating, his moves on the other hand are pretty bad. 

I assume you want the players to show no emotion out there. That is lame.

Celebrating and showing emotion are one thing.  Mocking the other team and acting like a jackass are another.  Any guy on the other team that did that to my team was getting laid out soon thereafter, but then again, I'm a 40 year old white dude.

He is that team...his teammates have bricked shot after shot.  He needs to take the last shot with the chance to win.

He was being triple teamed and Hill was in the process of blowing by a comatose Klay for an uncontested dunk before Klay woke up and grabbed him.

They are all brutal including the coach. When Cavs are out of the series I hope Thompson harnesses his inner MJ and starts laying them out.

Curry annoys me with the mouthpiece and some of his post 3 celebrations, but without Draymond, they would just be normal.  He's a straight doosh on the court.

 
Remember that conversation earlier today about Lebron winning mvp in a losing matter? Could legit see it if he keeps up somewhat with this pace.

No, just no. LeBron is one of the greatest players of all time because he doesn't consistently make the correct basketball decision.  Obviously all us on this message board know better than him.

Twitter says Draymond was doing the cheerleader dance to Kendrick Perkins who was yelling at the Warriors bench.....while in a suit.

He got blitzed/doubled at least once on that possession already. I’m fine with the pass. Lebron has pretty much always been that way when it’s there. He got knocked continually for it when he was younger. I think it’s the right play here though.

Like we don’t already know the outcome, look at the odds. Vegas is smart. 

With tonight’s refs forget it.

They are rolling. It is so funny 4 or 5 years ago most people loved Curry and the Warriors. They were fun, shooting a ton of 3's, having fun, watching them was fun. Now they are dominating and they hate those same things.

Congrats, you stacked a team.

I just realized you are a Philly fan. This is going to be hilarious if LeBron signs there and Philly wins a couple of titles and everyone turns on Embiid and company, I am sure you will be in here complaining how it sucks that they put together a stacked teamed to win it.

Rolling or trolling?

Warriors+KD jumped the shark. It happens. Some in here get mad when it’s mentioned, or that it’s mentioned too often, but it’s true. It’s all good. Maybe we have a series here, tough to say right now. Rocky was a heavy dog too.
