From the game I watched I don't think LeBron was the reason they won. Steph Curry was the reason they won.

Curry took and missed a ton of shots the same way LeBron did (but Curry did to a larger degree, I know). Big difference is Curry has better players around him. LeBron almost has to keep shooting, I'm not sure Curry does. And Bron still had a triple-double, 3 3s, and got to the line 18 times, + his defense.

I would have agreed with you after 3 quarters, but Steph went nuts in the 4th.

Keep hating on LeBron when he does nothing wrong but play basketball.
 
LeBron even admitted to Wade on SC he has no choice but to shoot so much.

With the way Cle can rebound, it gives TT, Moz chances to get second chance points.

I can get slandering Bron sometimes, but given the cast he has, i dont see how its possible to blame his field goal percentage.
 
Let's not act like Cleveland is a terrible team. JR Smith is one of the best players coming off the bench as strictly an offensive threat. Mozzy and Thompson are very good and in Thompson's case an elite rebounder. James Jones can drill three point shots as well as anyone in the league.
 
Lebron has been unreal in this series and really the whole playoffs. As I said previously, he is on a different plane than everyone else, including Curry. I expect Curry and the rest of the Warriors to play better and finish out this series, but just to get to this point is pretty amazing for Lebron.

Also, Tristan Thompson is just a beast on the boards. He gets a hand on pretty much every rebound, it seems. He can't do anything at all on offense, but he's such a force on rebounds that he justifies all his playing time.

James Jones and JR Smith. This is gold
 
Cleveland gonna blow the doors off Golden State. Kerr can't coach either. His talented team got him all those wins. Starting Draymond, Iggy, and Harry as a front court is a great idea when you have been out rebounded all series.

I think this type of game helps Golden State. Seems like a quicker paced style on both ends.

Didn't take you long to change your tune did it?
 
Kinda figured this would happen, how Cle won 2 games is a miracle given the rosters of both teams.

And took Kerr 4 games to finally double LeBron and make the scrubs beat him.
 
Look guys. LeBron is playing great, but it's pretty obvious that Golden State would be a horrible team without Curry. Some of you are giving Golden State way too much credit. It's pretty much LeBron or bust for Cleveland and Curry or bust for Golden State. You're going to sit here and sell me that a Klay Thompson led team would make the playoffs? Igoudala can't hit a wide open three. David Lee is a taller version of me. Green is ok, but really just a role player. Barnes is the same. It's pretty clear to me that right now that it's up to Curry. He needs to become MJ.
 
But the Cavs have nobody to score outside of Lebron. It's not fair. Only 4/5 starters scored in double figures. Mozgov is the game high scorer, but yeah he's no good.
