Kyrie will likely never be a Finals MVP like DJ was in 1979, nor the defensive or intangible reputation
NBA Finals Gamethread or how the NBA has more downtime than Game Of Thrones

Kenny Smith made a comment earlier in the game about how both of these teams play "outstanding defense and give up nothing easy..." I was wondering if maybe he hasn't watched Cleveland this year.
I thought the Warriors would break down the Cavs with PnRs but its not even that. They are just breaking down on any play where there the floor is spaced.
Kevin Durant is the 2nd best player of his generation and a bad matchup for the Cavs
If teams stay intact and stay healthy, it's not a question
Another HOF play by Kyrie
Durant walks, no call. Steps out of bounds. No call. He can just do anything he wants. He's the new Lebron.
I was told all GSW did was shoot threes
Now Im hungry for some Yank Sing and Ton Kiang
All things considered, 8 isn't so bad. Cleveland turned the ball over like crazy and gave up a bunch of second chance points. Gotta feel okay about that.
If GS finished around the rim just a bit better they'd be up 15. Cavs can't guard them at all. Even with the missed layups GS is still killing them with points in the paint. Combine Dray/Klay going combined 2-15 with the missed layups and Cleveland is lucky to be within 20.
Don't mean to keep polluting this thread...but more than half the population of the US is not in EST
And it feels like they've missed almost that many layups as well. They could be up 15-20 if they weren't missing so many easy shots.
Cavs just need to get the ball to LeBron and let him go 1-4 iso and make plays to score or pass to an open 3-pt shooter.
Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good I say. No - I don't think they're actually -1707, but I do think the Warriors are broadly underrated by Vegas odds.
