Why do I always misread it like "This is why we Pay" ? :D

Respect to the Cavs and Warriors. May the best team win.

[johnpestano]

I think the Cavs will win tonight and force a gm 7 back in Oakland we will see what happens but gm 5 was one of the best finals performances I have seen I can't believe Kyrie and LeBron both scored 41 pts

[TheKYRw]

It's funny cuz it's not like the Warriors were ever really out of it. It's just in that final quarter the Warriors were missing wide open shots. Harrison Barnes missed like 3 wide open shots in one possession, curry kissed a few threes, and meanwhile kyrie and lebron were going off

[GochoGamer]

Did someone knows what's the name of the song?...

[Kama_lefagaoalii]

Kyrie and James 41+ points again??? Doubt it.

[samir-ollx]

Draymond "Moving screen" Green is back

[Mjs]

By the time LeBron retires the Top 5 players of all time will be:

5) Bill Russel
4) Kobe Bryant
3) Kareem Abdul-Jabar
2) LeBron James
1) Michael Jordan

Lets go CAVS! My nigga Lebron and poor man's Steph Curry are both going off for 41 again tonight💯💯

[xmaxfactorx]

Kevin Love needs to put his lazy ass to work, tonight is the night, no more missing open 3's or easy layups.

[nesportsfanbleedgreendoyou]

I don't care who wins, I am content so far with a great series. Lots of trash talking during and after the games makes the NBA exciting.

[theorganistable]

They barely show any pictures or slips of the cavs doing something epic. But show all of Golden States. Rigged or nah

[AsianDrose]

NBA is super rigged. They're just juicing these games so they can get more views. The teams with the most bandwagons usually make it to the finals. Lebron fans miss when the NBA always rigged its way for Lebron and Lebron was always dickrided. It's not fun to watch NBA games anymore especially in the playoffs. I don't see anyone in the east making the finals until Lebron is like 37. The east is not that weak. Lebron has a big 3 like he did in Miami and the NBA just wants him to be in the finals to get more views. I don't hate Lebron I hate the NBA and his bandwagons. It's Clear that Lebron is still the best player on the planet now and I have a weird feeling that the NBA is going to try to fix his legacy by making the Cavs win over the best team in NBA history.

PSYCHED for Game 6!!! Thank goodness for ESPN on foxtel! :P

[Mjs]

Don't really care who wins as I'm not a fan of either team, but I'd much rather have Golden State win so Cleveland fans won't get the championship they don't deserve and shut up for the rest of the summer.
