“Throughout the series, I didn’t get the opportunity to have that moment”, James said. But then when you look at a situation, most people have never reached greatness. “I think we match up well with them and I think they’d say the same about us”.

“I think nearly everybody that coaches in this league, at some point, whether they’ve done it or not, wants the opportunity again”, Brown said, via the San Francisco Chronicle.
LeBron James called the Warriors a “juggernaut”, and Green said “there’s always a mutual respect”.
The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook installed Golden State as a minus-260 favorite, with Cleveland at plus-220, meaning a $100 bet on the Warriors would win $38.46 and the same bet on the Cavaliers would win $220, according to ESPN.
Cleveland forward LeBron James moved past Hall of Famer Michael Jordan as the leading scorer in NBA playoff history on his way to helping the Cavaliers ease into a third successive NBA Finals series on Thursday. They played great basketball this year. Listening to the things he’s said over the years, he’d be better as a comedian than a quarterback.
So it’s worth noting that James needed 33 more games to surpass Jordan, but he took the record at a younger age – James is 32 and Jordan was 35. “We feel like we should be here, and we feel like we should be a championship-contending team”.
“No matter what happens, let’s make sure I come back even better”. “Am I the reason that Brooklyn gave all their picks to Boston?”. “So whatever they have to do to continue to play at, not just a normal level, at an MVP level, that’s what I’ve been on them doctors about and everybody on that training staff is”.
“I can’t play for every team, so the truth of the matter is I left one team”. The Cavs have improved since last season, particularly Kevin Love.
If “defense wins championships”, the world must also be flat and photographs steal your soul. Kyrie Irving is adding 24.5 points and 5.6 assists per game while Kevin Love averages 17.2 points and 10.4 rebounds per contest. How much of a step back did Boston’s offense take without Thomas in the last three games?

Golden State earned a Finals berth with an unblemished postseason record (12-0), while Cleveland’s’ lone playoff loss came at the hands of Boston. Still, they beat the Cavaliers in Cleveland the next game before falling easily in Games 4 and 5.
