I guess I get the LeBron hate, sort of...but outside of JR Smith (who I think is hilarious) isn't this Cavs team likeable?

In case you missed it earlier, now is a good time to once again revel in some Lacob:
But Lacob won’t accept that what the Warriors have achieved is a product of anything but a master plan. “The great, great venture capitalists who built company after company, that’s not an accident,” he said. “And none of this is an accident, either.” When asked about the previous night’s game, he could hardly contain himself. He boasted that the Warriors are playing in a far more sophisticated fashion than the rest of the league. “We’ve crushed them on the basketball court, and we’re going to for years because of the way we’ve built this team,” he said. But what really set the franchise apart, he said, was the way it operated as a business. “We’re light-years ahead of probably every other team in structure, in planning, in how we’re going to go about things,” he said. “We’re going to be a handful for the rest of the N.B.A. to deal with for a long time.”

I mean, let's not get crazy, curry has and is the best player in the nba the past 2 years
Yeah anyone criticizing what LeBron is doing in these Finals has an agenda. He's flat out killing it these past two games.
JR Smith is awesome. This Cleveland team is definitely likable but the Lebron factor brings the hate.
Not to mention he took these warriors to 6 last year as basically a one man team
I think you can agree with this... And agree Steph has deserved MVP each of the last two seasons.
Two weeks ago, I loved everything about Curry. Literally everything. Tonight, I'm happy that he just got tossed. Man, how times change.
Malone took as many if not more fadeaway jumpers against smaller defenders as LeBron. That's what guys do when their go-to low post move is a fall away.......they look for smaller defenders to get their shot against in their sweet spot.
These refs are garbage. LeBron can break out a prison shiv, but they call that? The NBA is the new WWE.
People are knocking Lebron in this very thread, on a night when he scored 18 consecutive points for his team during the time GS was coming back.
Curry's knee has to be a factor. If the Cavs are going to win this is a great chance. No Bogut, Iggy, Curry, not 100%, Green liable to get kicked out.
I missed #5, but I'm not sure why the Curry fanboys think #6 was questionable. A couple calls were made that probably shouldn't have been, but on balance it was nice to watch actual basketball tonight, rather than a rugby scrum punctuated by 3-point shots.
I am sorry - I think the referees have been fine all postseason but the refereeing this game is really suspect.
Agreed on #6. But the folks in here who are suddenly claiming that this game was decided by officials are out of their minds.
Did you see the first quarter? Just curious, because by this post, it seems like you didn't?
No kidding. The refs are fucking horrible both ways, and have been again tonight. When Kevin Love got his phantom fouls earlier, people said no big deal, Love sucks. You got to accept it when it goes the other way too. The refs had nothing to do with the Cavs jumping out in the first quarter and they haven't really looked back since then.
