Live Thread: Star Wars

Gordon Gund is in the house. Craig Sager is in the house. Dr. J and Urban Meyer are in the house.
After Kyrie and LeBron gave us a new hope, the Empire is ready to splash back. If Steve Kerr was ever going to wear out his Death (Star) Lineup – tonight’s the night.
With The Groin Reaper back in tow, the Cavs will be witnessing the power of the fully operational battle station.
Whatever. This isn’t a trap – it’s an opportunity. Tonight is the second last step to the summit. The chance to vanquish narratives and cement legacies.
The Warriors cannot be allowed to make locker room champagne comments.
Let’s go.
I know we are a bit scared of what could happen next game but if you look back at the last 4 games the Cavs have competed well against them and even beated them badly 3 times.
I really believe the Cavs have a chance.
Personally, I want to beat the best. But if Iggy’s back is still bad – that’s huge.
He will be hopped up on painkillers for sure.
If Iggy’s not 100% for Game 7 that could be a major deciding factor in the game. What happened to Barnes?? His shot has completely disappeared.
I think Barnes is not so good under pressure. Games 1 & 2 at home, early in the game – he did well. Big game six in Cleveland – not so good. Which means he could make his share of plays in game 7, but I don’t expect him to go off.

Don’t forget that LBJ covered his $80 fine!!!
Kind of stupid of Windhorst to even tweet this. Irrelevant to the game… I hate Windhorst ;)
Nah. He tweeted it earlier, when Jones was contributing at the end of the first half. I just saw it now. $8,000 for someone who does anything useful in a Finals game is a steal — compare that with Shump’s $9 million and the night he had.
Or Kloves… Nevermind
Pay JR next year for what he did this year.
I just hope that the refereeing don’t decide game 7…..come on CAVS
Good point, and Ayesha Curry is already complaining on Twitter.
First chance for the city of Cleveland to clinch a title since 1997!!
That is depressing by itself.
Boy, this has been a roller coaster. Thank you Cavs for the ride!
What is really surprising is the reaction of Curry, Draymond and Klay. They just look beat. Curry getting thrown out. Klay leaving before time is out with his team still on the floor. Draymond pleading his case to the ref’s deaf ears. I know Kerr will have them regroup and get ready, but they’ve been wounded. The Cavs are going to have to deal with a very huge first quarter next game, because they’re scared now, and cornered animals are dangerous.
One of Klay’s worst games of the year. Which means he’ll probably go off for 107 in game 7
I thought Klay played outstanding defense on Kyrie in the 2nd half. Pretty much shut him down.
You are right but at the same that’s good for the Cavs cause now the Warriors now that the Cavs can seriously compete against them.
But I totally agree with you that the Cavs have to weather the storm wisely next game. If not the game could be over early.
Delly draining that 15 footer at the end isn’t nothing. I’d like to see the Delly Lebron pick’n roll in game 7 in the 2nd quarter. It’s so much more devastating because bogut is unavailable
Great point. What I notice, though, is that they are not switching on Delly because their guards can keep up with him and h e isn’t a good shooter off the dribble. Its really limited his effectiveness and, with the style Lue plays, he can’t have as much of an impact. That’s why he isn’t getting the minutes.
Potentially could see a Loaded Wombat too with how TT played tonight and Bogut being out.
Wow. I kind of hate to admit it, because I was really mad for a long time. But I’m glad he came back. He’s about 1 or 2 years away from becoming the GOAT. It’s just astounding what he’s been able to do every single year. He’s played more minutes than anybody, than a lot of the great ones’ whole careers, and he is still performing at an ungodly level. Just…wow.
Testing (Excuse me all. Trying to get in. )
Testing (Part 2)
Can’t wait for this instacap!
So hyped, can’t believe we just witnessed that.
Incredible energy by the team and fans. Great game, great win. One more to go ;)
This had just a slightly different feel than last year’s game 6.
Haha yeah just a bit.
Can’t go to bed until I watch the instacap. Tom, get on dat.
INCREDIBLE. WHAT. A. TEAM.
Whew.
18 straight points for Lebron at one point…can Lebron also block Ayesha curry and make that face
What a frickin ride.
Thank you, Lebron! Thank you Cavs!

LMAO….just like the sunrise
This chick is absolutely whack.
The can’t silence her!
She just saw it live. And unlike the other 20,000 people in the building, she saw TRUTH.
That explains why her hubby won a title last year and the unanimous MVP. Goes both ways honey.
My Gawd, this is a thing of beauty!
LeBron scored or assisted on the 27 straight CLE points.
That bears repeating: LeBron scored or assisted on 27 straight CLE points.
The Cavs know how to beat them now, they have the blueprint. I just hope the 7th game scenario at their home gym doesn’t overwhelmed them.
That, and the refs. I don’t generally complain about that, but the home reffing in this series has been glaring…
Seriously, can we get a comment from Klay’s dad before next game? I live for those…
All bets are off in game 7. Screw what history says. This game will be 50/50.
One more game! Sunday Sunday Sunday!
LeBron 3 gives him 41 points in back-to-back Finals games, plus 8 rebounds, 11 assists.

4 steals, 3 blocks
Good thing pot is legal. There’s no way to survive these games.
Bourbon. To each their own.
Whelp.
https://vine.co/v/il50M2vuTqi
Ayesha has her venomous twitter fingers ready…
Wow…green is an even bigger idiot than curry. He is risking his presence in game 7 in a useless possession down the stretch of a game he hasn’t mattered in. Wow. They look like a whole team of whiners right now, Kerr included
They basically are a team of whiners….for two years now. They get away with it because they are good. But F them.
I mean, if this is over I think Lue should put Delly in just to get a rhythm. I mean nothing to lose at this point.
Stop fouling please!!!
Throw out Bray
JR hitting 2 key 3 pointers in this 4th..we need you JR
T HIM UP!!!
M-V-P! M-V-P! Wait…did he just peg a fan with his mouth guard? What a moron
This is in my top 5 best days of my life!!
He fouled twice
I’ve never seen Curry lose his cool like that . . . ever
He’s been called out in the media for his play in this series for the first in in like ever
Seriously how is that not suspendable. Suns lost guys for standing up off the bench. Dude threw stuff in to the crowd and hit a fan.
I thought that was a soft call, especially with the refs knowing he had 5… but inexcusable chucking his chewing piece like that
Yeah, it was a bad call. So Curry has one bad call against him in his career and he reacts like that?
Curry should be suspended for game 7 for throwing his mouthguard and hitting a fan. It’s a rule, from after the Malice at the Palace. But he won’t be.
Or maybe it’s just an ejection. I could be wrong.
Wait why is he getting ejected?
Hahahhahahhahahhahaa. Little punk. Should get suspended for that no question. Lil douche.
THROW HIM OUT THROW HIM OUT THROW HIM OUT THROW HIM OUT THROW HIM OUT THROW HIM OUT THROW HIM OUT THROW HIM OUT THROW HIM OUT
Most Punchable Face in the NBA – Klay Thompson, ladies and gentlemen!
Make them drive to their left please.
leBron with some choice words after that Steph block. Gonna need a vine to sort that one out
FINISH HIM! CMON CAVS!
Sure as hell didn’t think LeBron would top what he did in Game 5, but this man is unreal
Man that was so amazing
2 more rebounds for a triple double for LeBron, lets go…triple double and the win
He won’t get it unless the Cavs win he series, but Lebron is clearly the finals MVP. There’s not even an argument.
TT with two huuuuuge finishes.
https://vine.co/v/il5PUAK9ZOZ
15 points, 15 boards
https://vine.co/v/il5Pv1q9g36
Steph just got spanked.
I love tehBron
Get that weak stuff out of here, please
https://vine.co/v/il5P3h6AVBU
Lebron James is not a human being
Who’s mvp?
Courtesy of Marc Jackson: “In Lebron’s last 11 games against the Warriors (excluding tonight), he is averaging 33 ppg, 13.5 rpg, and 9 apg”
I mean why not iOS LeBron on a gimpy iggy
Iso, even
Lol. I was trying to figure out what you meant.
LeBron can code during timeouts
JR Swish! LeBron finally gets some scoring help.
https://vine.co/v/il5U2Q0qaix
Half of dubs offense is just pump faking and throwing themselves into people.
Your 100% correct. The Cavs have done a great with their individual defense on the last 2 games of this series.
LeBron with the Cavs’ last 18 points

Doesn’t feel like that at all

Oh JR you can’t be doing that buddy you just can’t
The JR special.
oops wasn’t a 3. And JR buries one to make me look dumber. Carry on JR
We need to push the fouls issue since we have a slight advantage there. I’d like to see us take some charges and drive hard with RJ, I think he’s likely to draw fouls
Warriors are whining about fouls while smacking us every rebound we get and not getting called. Can Lue get some damn fresh legs in for once?!
Wow. That sequence took years off my life.
