Anyone want to call it ?

Warriors in 6 (if Le Bron gets anything like close to some help) could be a sweep if he doesent

Warriors in 5. They've been taking nights off all year. Think they'll do it here once, which is enough for LeBron to grab one if playing 48 mins.

What was JR Smith thinking?

Can't work that out! But what a f**king game, that had everything, lebron with 51 points and they still lose. Cav's Thompson getting thrown out (swinging) at the end means he misses the next game right?

Ball Hopper

For those who haven't seen this...Score level right at the end of the game.  Cavs have a free throw to go 1 up with 4.6 seconds left.  Free throw missed but JR Smith (Cavs) grabs the rebound and, instead of passing to an open LeBron James, heads for the sidelines with the ball.  Too late to get a good shot of when he finally gives the ball to a team mate.  Seems the lipreaders caught JR Smith saying "I thought we were ahead" immediately thereafter.  Warriors win in overtime by 10 - big row at the end of overtime as well.

Cleveland rebounding was huge.

Refs were poor on both teams.

Roll on Game 2 on Sunday.

Mental stuff altogether. JR is just an absolute Muppet.

Is it fair to say LeBron is better than Jordan was...? Asking, not telling........

He is still maintaining he knew the score was tied

That's the big social media debate at the moment. I believe LeBron is better.

If you where lucky (old) enough to see them both in their prime, just be thankful

Yeah, that's horseshit from him. He was suggesting LeBron tried to call a timeout. Throwing the best player of his generation, and possibly of all time, under the bus when he's desperately trying to win you a second championship you've no right to doesn't seem all that...wise.

Just watched it - he must have thought they were ahead as he a clean shot immediately after her won the rebound - terrible mistake !

Straight forward enough win for the Warriors tonight. Curry breaks the record for most 3's in a finals game, KD as efficient as ever, Clay continuing his form, big performances from JeVale and Livingston, and...and a David West 3!!!

Some of Curry's 3s, the one over Love in particular, were insane.

That was a ludicrous shot and yet not that surprising because it was him.
