Great analysis. Choke job. I love some of your posts but this is just a shitty hot take. Please do better.
He gets his monocle on about wrestling but acts like a shit-flinging monkey in any real sports' threads. It's pretty great.

(I'd feel much worse for this on your and Sam's behalf if you guys didn't just have one last year.)

Low intellect hot take mouth breather checking in: GS is a soft finesse team, even their generally excellent defense is a finesse defense.
Finesse? Please, the better team won here. They both played decently tonight but Cleveland played better.

I like how Love made sure he got LeBron first when the game ended. "Don't forget about ussss."

Kyrie was great, LeBron is just incredible to watch. They'll have a statue of him up the day after he retires.

Very happy for Cleveland fans.

Maybe one of the best games of all time. That block by LeBron was certainly one of the key plays ever in a Finals. Holy shit. He and Kyrie were balls.

GS didn't choke - they just got cold from 3 at inopportune times against decent defense. And those passes that look like careless turnovers when they don't work look like genius when they get you easy buckets.

Lebron with one of the all-time great Finals series. I put it right behind Jordan's 1993.

And Kyrie Irving with the most important shot in Cavalier history

Sorry GS couldn't score in the final four minutes of Game 7, had their best all around defender suspended for hitting a guy in the balls, squandered home court advantage, blew a 3-1 series lead and soiled a 73 win series. I know it sucks that they lost and I do feel bad for them, but this was a choke job.

Interested to see if Teflon Curry takes any heat this year
He already is in this thread and social media. The thing is, why does it have to be thus? Why is there a goat and a hero? Its old timey sports analysis that Skip Bayless champions. We just witnessed an iconic game seven with some iconic plays and everyone is looking for someone to shit on. The thing is, I am not sure the folks here making these choke and negative comments watch NBA except the playoffs.

The Cavs played spectacular defense tonight. The block and Love's switch were just part of it. They made the Warriors give max effort to score on every single possession.

We will be watching that block for the rest of our lives.

Kyrie most important shot in Cav history. Lebron with the most important block in Cav history. And Lebron with the most important FT in Cavs history.

You're an idiot right now. Stop it. Sometimes a team loses because the other team played better.

I'm pretty sure he has a fairly serious knee injury, he was not himself afterwards.
If they'd won, he'd be publishing his X-rays tomorrow.

He might anyway. This team is sorta weird and whiny that way.

FUCK THE HATERS. THey did it. What a fucking series. Lebron, take a fucking bow. Greatest performancce I've ever seen by an individual in a 7 game series.
Yes.

I'm at a loss for words. I'm in awe of Lebron's physical and emotional strength. Would not be denied.

Anyone who is a hater after this is a god-damned fool. We just saw greatness.
