I actually wouldn't mind if Jemele did her magic for once.
I'd agree too

Mike Trout is the best player in baseball but he only has 4-5 chances to drive in runs per game & that's assuming there's guys on base. In football a WR is only as good as his QB & the QB is only as good as the OL.
Basketball is different. One guy could completely take over & almost single handedly win the game. Without Kyrie & LeBron doing what they did in game 5 there is no game 6.
At the end of the day basketball is a team sport but without a superstar you have no shot. There are role players that do the little things but games are won & lost based on how the superstars play.

LeSnitch is going to ram his junk into Draymond's fist five minutes into the first quarter.

Somebody recently posted their playoff record for the past couple years with and without him on the court
Would be nice to see that again

I read something online today after people were talking about and they are like 4-9 with him officiating the playoffs before the cavs series started.

One guy can almost win the game and your example was two guys taking over a game to win.. One person is not gonna win a game for you in basketball

It's still a team game. That's why I don't get all into rings like everyone else. They matter but you're not winning with a bum *** squad and one top 5 player. Put MJ on the Knicks or Sixers, they're not winning the Finals this year.

scott foster is no longer scott foster
he use to make sure the road team won in playoff games but last year it didnt go that wayi believe last time scott foster reffed a road game the home team won in a blow out
so maybe using scott foster is a gambling trick
adam silver 30 for 30 betting on my own games

Didn't LeBron score over 20 straight vs Boston once? Klay dropping 37 in a quarter is an example of a one man show. Kobe vs Toronto is another example of one man beating a team with little help from teammates in the grand scheme.

There is definitely no other sport where 1 player can tip the scales so much but still a great team will beat a great player anytime.
2014 Bron was 28/7/4 shooting 57% from the field and 51% from 3 and his team got gentlemans swept.
You can't really play any better than that as an individual player, that whole playoffs was proof.

Let us not forget that LeBron practically orchestrated this team sans a few pieces.
I expect Kerr to put Iggy on Bron tonight and put Dray on Love. I'm sure they're expecting the refs to watch him closely and want to give him the best chance to let the game come to him.

Unfortunately, I have the Cavs winning tonight. I've been pretty spot on this series on a game by game basis.
I had the Warriors in 6, but if GS doesn't close out tonight they will find themselves losing game 7 at home. Clev would have ALL the momentum, GS would have ALL the pressure and the Cavs would also be highly motivated to win the series on GS home court the same way GS won in Clev.
Besides, can you guys imagine the narrative the media would run with if this happened? Being the only team to come back down 3-1 in the NBA Finals without home court advantage? It would be the perfect narrative for LeBron finally bringing a title to The Land.
Too much is on the line tonight. GS has got to be feeling the pressure. I really don't want to see the Cavs win a title in my lifetime or win one with LeBron on the team

It's 2/7 not 2-7. I've only seen it incorrectly used on this site, it drives me crazy
I predict a cavs close win tonight with some questionable calls

Lebron vs the spurs in 2014 is the epitome of empty stats... that's been proven
