Never a truer word spoken. As for these finals, GS are just too stacked. When you add Kevin Durant (a future HOF) to a +70 win team, the outcome is inevitable. Cavs will give it their all like they did last year but this is going to be a hurdle too far methinks. And just think that Thompson - arguably the best shooter in the league - isn't even hitting shots yet they're still winning by 20+ points. Yeah, Thompson played like shit, but didn't matter when Curry and Durant combined for more than 60 points. He shot like shit but his defense was elite.

Cavs need to win and they need to do it convincingly to have any chance.

Great game, could go either way right now.
On another note, that '4:44' commercial was beautiful.

Since when did Stephen Curry become the best rebounder on the floor?

That Kyrie rebound just now was crazy. Almost made that wild shot too.

Kevin Durant secured his Finals MVP with that clutch 3-pointer and free throws to all but seal the deal.

LeBron being his usual dominant self, Kyrie hitting every shot he took in the paint, and had the lead late in the game. They just can't keep up with the pace of the Warriors, you can see how tired they are by the middle of the 4th quarter in each game. Also doesn't help when the Warriors as a team are shooting almost 50-40-90 for the series and Tristan Thompson is getting out-rebounded by Stephen Curry.

Could see a co MVP thing happen with Curry and Durant if possible. It's voted on by 11 sports journalists, so I think a co-MVP is very unlikely (unless it's a perfect 5-5 split with 1 picking some random 3rd option). Durant being the leading scorer with terrific shooting percentages across the board while matched up against LeBron James makes it feel safe to me that he'll win Finals MVP, though I do think that Curry warrants a lot of consideration especially for his hustle on the boards. He got more rebounds tonight (13) than Tristan Thompson has had for the series (11), which is just mind-blowing.

That being said, how would a Finals MVP cement his legacy? I still consider him signing with Golden State a coward move after he lost to them in last years WCF. Will it silence his critics/haters? This is similar to LeBron when he formed the Big 3 in Miami, but I think his legacy was restored when he won in Cleveland last year.

Could see a co MVP thing happen with Curry and Durant if possible. PLEASE! Curry has been better in these three games (particularly the last two) than the past two finals probably put together, and that alone is reason not to give it to him. Durant coming in there, and taking that team over has been a blessing for Mr Two Time MVP. Offensively he is their superstar now, and defensively in these finals he's been right there at the heart of it for them with Draymond and Iguodala. This could legitimately be a torch passing moment in the NBA. If Curry wins it will be a freaking travesty. They're usually pretty good with their decisions for this award... Please let's not have another Tony Parker moment.

Cavaliers have done a great job making this a one-on-one game with LeBron and Kyrie creating shots for themselves and others. Warriors on the other end currently look lethargic on offense, with several possessions where they had absolutely no ball movement and several perimeter players just standing around.

If Warriors want to win this game, they have to get Curry going and get back in transition instead of whining to the refs to prevent easy fast break points. For Cavs to win, they just have to keep the Warriors from getting on a run that brings this to single digits.

Curry seeming a little hesitant to look for his own shot. Beat his man off the dribble earlier and passed up an open floater to pass it out, then needlessly pump faked on what could have been a transition 3 which allowed LeBron to close out on him and force a pass.
