I'm optimistic for a Game 7.
Yeah, I could see him go off for 50.

If he, for once in his career, just manned up and drove the lane on every play for 4 quarters, he could put up 70-80 points on 70%+ shooting. I get that's exhausting as hell and he will probably need an IV drip after the game, but he can't be stopped honestly.

Also, he needs to drive right down the lane, not from the side. People rarely take a charge against James and they aren't going to start now.

Agree 1000%. Takes it's toll on his body but nobody is stopping that freight train unless they want a broken nose or a few missing teeth.

If there is a time in his career to do it, it would be now. This is a huge finals for his legacy.

But if a couple calls go the other way for charges (and you know they will) he could get into foul trouble and then it is definitely over. Obviously he needs to go the rack as much as possible, but when he draws defenders hopefully the lanes open for the big guys to tap in any misses.

At a certain point, the refs will swallow their whistle because they don't want to foul out Lebron James in the NBA finals. The refs are "letting them play" and I hope the Cavs finally take note and start playing the way the Warriors are playing; dirty. Bring in Perkins and have him set a few moving screens.

Cavs will either get blown out or Lebron will be on the ft line like Harden. Good vibes are that NBA definitely wants a game 7 and that my day has sucked....often sports happening go my way after shitty days...so here's hoping.

The refs swallowing their whistles in game 2 gave the cavs a win in Oakland so I wouldn't put to much blame on them. Cavs have also shot 12 more free throws in 5 games then GS has. Officials do miss some, but for the most part except game 2, they have been pretty even.

It's a 2-game season. He's got 3 months to rest and relax. I think you see LeBron try to be a lot more selfish tonight.

Cavs win tonight. No way James will lose a closeout game at home. He may drop 65 tonight. Game 7, GS will win by 20+ but the cavs doing what they did with the injuries is remarkable.

1969 -- Jerry West, Los Angeles
Averaged 30.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 7.5 assists in 18 playoff games as the Lakers lost to the Boston Celtics, 4-3. West has been the only NBA Finals MVP to play for a losing team

Is it LeBron's win or lose? 29.9, 10.9, 9.2 averages for the whole playoffs. Pretty insane.

Can't win that way. As good as he is, you just can't win that way. For one, it's not humanly possible and 2, LBJ would foul out. Going to be offensive fouls called. The first 3 games the Cavs got a ton of easy baskets with running an offense. They didn't run an offense since. This team can run pick and rolls like they did all season.

LBJ might foul out but he'll put in 80 points and the Warriors will only have 4 eligible players in the game left by that point. Game 7, the Warriors will only have 7 players because the other half will be nursing injuries into retirement for trying to get in the way of LTrain(and Perkins as needed).

Yeah agreed you Cleveland fans need to tone it down. If you read Golden State forums they all are complaining about the officiating as well and as a pretty much neutral watcher it's been bad both ways

I'm not getting that feeling. I think the surrounding cast will play well and lebron will have an alright game. Cavs win tonight. We have to win this game, this is Cleveland. The sports gods always make sure we get "good feelings" (win in game 6) before they crush our souls (blowout in game 7)

National analysts have stated that the calls have been in favor of GSW.

It isnt so much the overall game being called, its the fact that LBJ hasnt gotten rewarded for driving to the hoop. That is a huge benefit to the GSW, even if the rest of the game is officiated in Clevelands favor, that alone makes it favor GSW.
