Amazing play by Curry. Ball is too sticky in Durant’s hands and they clearly play better when the O runs elsewhere.

LOL. This is the least surprising overtime ever.

Nobody on Cleveland should be touching the ball on offense except Lebron. Period. If he needs a breather, he should take step back 3's. When he's got his wind, he should drive to the hoop. No matter what, it should be all Lebron, all the time. These fucking clowns can't get it done.

I still can't believe we shot 7/39 in Game 7, and lost to this team without Love, AT FUCKING HOME. Goddamnit.

That Smith play is 90% captains/coaches. Not always but most of the time.
I know that’s coming from your perspective; but players are sentient humans; it HAS to be assumed that they know the score in that situation.

Hill choked but guys miss FTs all the time.

People don’t forget the score in a tie game in the freakin’ Finals.

I honestly think Lebron would have a better chance if it was him and 4 of those guys you play against at the Y that arent all that skilled but just play hard defense in pickup games.

This is a tough loss for CLE, they got an all time LeBron performance, an uncharacteristically sub par shooting performance by GS, and the last shot to win.

On the bright side or them they played GS down to the wire, although it's questionable if they can replicate this game.

It's insane to think a player need to be told the game is tied with seconds on the clock.

Wtf did smith take the ball out instead of put it up for a win?
This is going to be an epic defeat for Cleveland. He had the putback!
you know, on replay, it's clear Smith had no idea what the score was, but it also looks like Durant is between him and the basket. He could have gone up, and maybe he'd have gotten a foul call, but it's not unlikely he'd have gotten blocked, too.

I’ve personally never gotten over Vitaly Potapenko missing a wide open game-winning layup at the buzzer about 20 years ago.
