[Adrenaline]

The Warriors have hit ten 3s and the Cavaliers have one.

 

[Capt Caveman]

With such a small GSW line-up, I don't understand why LeBron isn't driving every play. Don't know how you can go 1-14 with the three as a team.

I was thinking the same.

 

[Adrenaline]

Why is LeBron taking a jumpshot instead of driving for a closer shot?

The Warriors have hit ten 3s and the Cavaliers have one.

gsw: 41.5% field goals, 48% 3 pointers
um.. I would stick with 3 pointers then

but geez both teams are sucking at 2pointers

 

[JEDI]

and cavs have the lead, again.

klay has lost his 3point mojo.

jeez... Varejao has 3 fouls in 5 minutes?! why is he still in the game?

 

[lupi]

hilarious how cavs using varejao as their sixth man to regain the lead.

 

[zerocool84]

Kyrie having a good quarter

Haha yeah.

Irving is going beast mode, I agree with the general thought they should drive way more, get to the hoop and the Warriors cant stop you.

 

[zerocool84]

That was a stupid call for a foul on James with Green from 3

 

[lupi]

hack-a-thompson ain't working tonight.

 

[zerocool84]

Glad they're letting them play. I just hope this is finally the game that comes down to the final seconds. Kind of tired of the games being basically decided well ahead of the final buzzer.

Looks like you might be getting your wish. Great game so far.

 

[lupi]

two of three quarters ended essentially tied, gonna be hell of a fourth.

 

[JEDI]

and now gsw leads, again
76 to 75, end of 3Q

 

[zerocool84]

James need to bust out Beast Mode if they are going to win.

 

[vi edit]

I don't know if LeBron is tired out what. Very passive tonight. I thought he would be in full close out mode. It's not there. All those minutes last game maybe adding up.

Why isn't James going into attack mode here and taking over? I understand involving the team but he's done that all game. He needs to take some control and show he wants this. He's had a good statistical game doing other things like assists, rebounds and a few blocks.

Kyrie and Green are having amazing games. Green in the first half and Kyrie in the 3rd quarter. Curry and Klay have been somewhat quiet. Going to be a good 4th.

Thinking pretty much the same thing. Love is having a much better game. Maybe LeBron is trying to keep the rest of the team in it and win it other ways. Saving the last bit of energy for the end if he needs it?

Yeah, I don't get why he isn't trying to take over. Driving and passing it out is just stupid.

 

[saratoga172]

Finally a drive and even that looks somewhat slower than I'd expect. Maybe he's gassed but man, it's game 7 of the finals.

 

[zerocool84]

So if Warriors win, Green should get MVP. No doubt about it

wasn't last game like 2 days ago?
how can he be still tired from that?

Absolutely.

 

[JEDI]

So if Warriors win, Green should get MVP. No doubt about it

so mvp is based on the last game in the finals?

 

[JEDI]

hm.. was 83-86. now 83-85?
klay's 3 pointer now a 2?
