But you are right on the top players list.

Lebron is still top dog out of this bunch, but if you look at players 2-6, 4 of them will be Warriors. Could make an argument that Love belongs somewhere in the top 6, but still, the Warriors have a big 4 where it's LeBron and Kryie, then Love.

From there, Thompson is a very good role player, but nowhere near the level of Green, Thompson, Curry or Durant.

I really wish I'll know what you guys have been watching.

Kevin Love is a freaking beast. Better than Kyrie, better than Klay and better than Draymond this season. Compared to LeBron and Kyrie, he had a "quiet" game...and finished with a 20-6-3 stat line and the best plus-minus of the game.

If I have to rank them for this season, it'll be:

LeBron
KD
Curry
Love
Green
Kyrie
Klay
Tristan

Anyway, looking forward to the Finals. Hoping each team can do the necessary adjustments to have an even better series.

I guess the question is what time period you are looking at.

This year, 2 years, or career?

But let me ask you this, what is a more impressive statline:

23.9/3.5/5.7 shooting 47.6% and 42.4% for three or

24.1/4.2/5.8 shooting 46.6% and 39.9% for three ?

I am in the minority, but I would love a Finals with neither of these teams. A 3rd time in a row would just suck. I hate them both.

Ha ha, I doubt both won't make it.

It will be interesting to see what happens. I think a healthy Memphis will have GS crapping their pants.

What will also be fun to watch, is whichever of these teams that doesn't win absolutely eating their cockiness from throughout this season.

I actually still think Cle wins it all, even though they weren't that impressive in spurts of this game.

This season. Between them both...I'll take the one who has the better defense.

kevin love is a poor mans all star. i'm sorry for bursting a bubble.
kevin love is a hustle, 3 point shooter who has 0 capability of creating his own shot. he helps spread the floor with lebron, but he is doesn't help much else.
i think the last finals matchup shows exactly what kevin love is. he's a hustling white dude who just can't make it in the waning moments in the final minutes of games. he has his nitch, but i can't stand him. he's a reliable regular season player, but in the post season he will odds on probably fad out.


my impression of the game was that mcgee needs more minutes, durant is a superstar, lebron is a superstar and klay/steph need to make more shots. i thought durant got hammered on the last play as well, the refs needed to call something.

[ninjacookies]

Kyrie is Curry's kryptonite.


That is all.

[pingbling23]

Before I get into reading the comments, I just want to say that was a hell of a game and GO CAVS!!!

So...... a little over 1/3 of the way through the season and Warriors and Cavs are going to the Finals, huh? A lot of ball to be played.......

[pingbling23]

didnt take long to read through it as it was a bunch of troll shots at the Cavs and Lebron for most of the game. I thought the game was over when Lebron sat, the Cavs seemed to miss 20 shots in a row, and the dubs went back up to double digits. Kyrie finally got going late and the game ball should go to him. Honorable mention to king James for going 31/13/4/2/1 on 54.5% shooting.

Liggins gave him fits most of the game. Is there a better team then the Cavs at guarding curry?

Probably not...they do a heck of a time at crowding his space and not giving him looks off screens.

I just loved AGAIN that it was Kyrie that they go to when the game is on the line, but lebron will be the greatest to ever play

Do you only troll Lebron threads, or do you actually watch basketball? Do you not remember that the goat MJ himself had 2 other players hit 2 of the most important shots in Bulls finals history? The greatest players in the game all get help from their team during the clutch. It's a team game.

Didn't Happen! Those videos are fake news created by Vlad Putin. Jordan hit every game winning shot, never missed

Signed,

Most of the people on here who never actually saw Jordan play live.

Ha ha, those guys were never put in iso like Kyrie is. This is the problem with the LeBron nut huggers, they don't even deal in reality.

Paxson's shot was a transition 3.

Kerr's shot only happened because Jordan was double teamed.

Kyrie is a better scorer than LeBron, hence the isolation play for him. His speed and shot are money. LeBron has an ok outside shot or he could try and get to the rim with power, but we've seen him miss a few of these.

[izucantc]

Golden State shouldn't even had let it come down to 3.4 seconds left, with the hopes that Durant would make a shot. They had a 14 point lead in the 4th quarter and should have won, but they let it slip, they deserved to lose.

Dude don't start twirling around the facts, else these conversations become pointless. I don't care about the context in which Kerr and Paxson made those shots the point is it's a team game. The greatest players also rely on their teammates to make big shots. During the stoppage even I was wanting Kyrie to take the shot cuz he's more lethal in the clutch than Lebron is, he just has that gene. But it's ok for your best player to lead you to the position where you have a chance to win and a guy like Kyrie hits the game winning shot. Lillard is another example of a dude with that gene.

Twirling what facts? If you think the plays Paxson and Kerr made are the same as calling a timeout and running an actual isolation play for Kyrie, than you are a moron and don't understand the game at all (I'm not saying you are, just those that think they're the same thing).

Jordan was in iso vs the Jazz, the play was for him, he was doubled and made the right play. LeBron would and should do the same thing. But In game 7 and today, the play was for Kyrie. There are many on this site claiming LeBron to be a possible GOAT, yet the greats usually take the last shot, or at least make the play.

Thank you for pointing out that I'm not a moron that made my day. You probably never actually watched these bulls games so I won't blame you for your ignorance. Here's the clip below where MJ told Kerr during the timeout to get ready cuz the ball was coming to him. Reason is because the Jazz defended MJ well down the stretch in the previous game and MJ wasn't able to close the game out if i remember correctly, has been many years. So he gave it up to his teammate just like any great player would cuz it was the best play for the team. Lebron has made many big shots down the stretch during his career and has also left big shots to his teammates depending on the situation. MJ and Shaq were my favourite players in the 90's but I don't dangle from their nuts like you and that rhigh dude and whoever else scared to let go of the past. I appreciate the fact that there are new amazing talents that have entered the league that make me continue to love the game of basketball and don't bash them when they succeed or laugh at them when they fail.

I distinctly remember a period for the NJ Nets when RJ was a more dynamic dunker/finisher than even Vince. That was a really fun team to watch.

Ha ha, I believe it was a LeBron fan that brought up the MJ/Bulls videos right? Right?

You're on drugs, I had to watch those Bulls games as a 15 year old at midnight here as they were never on live. I've seen that game and the talk MJ and Kerr had in the timeout probably 100 times at least. You may need to watch it again.
The Jazz didn't defend Jordan well. He'd already drained a winner on Russell in game 1. He was going for the same move and Stockton came to double and he kicked it to Kerr. He quite clearly says "if the double comes, be ready ".

Man you're hilarious.

My team is the Spurs and you're trying to claim I'm some Jordan nut hugger, ha ha. Good work.

[Durantula]

Dubs blew a 14 point lead. Outside of KD pretty embarrassing performance by GS especially by Curry!!! Dude seems to go under in big games.
Be glad to have Durant!
