Bet you the Giants win the World Series, though, it’s an even-numbered year.

You’re right. James is basically a 6-8 tight end playing basketball. His game is brute force.

Does that mean thugs will destroy Cleveland in celebration rather than in Defeat?

Okay, from your little sister city up the lake in Buffalo, I know how long-suffering you guys have been for a champion. Frickn’ A! Good for you! You guys deserve it.

This outcome was orchestrated by the NBA who desperately wanted a stand alone ring for Lebron, the biggest, crybaby quitter in sports. It was supposed to happen last year but the upstart Warriors spoiled the party.

The suspension of one of their stand out players was a series changer and they knew it. Then Andrew Bogut was hurt in a game that should have never been played.

Warriors did not choke, they got cut off at the knees. This is a team that won 73 games in the season, not losing two in a row much less three.

Disgusting but that’s sports nowadays.

I saw a look of the most intense determination on LeBron’s face in the next to the last game. He gave his all.

Happy for Cleveland.

It will probably be a Cubs-Giants NLCS before the Giants get to the WS.

Is Cleveland, the mistake by the lake on fire yet? How many cop cars are over-turned and burning so far?

LeBron and the Cavs deserved this! They wanted it more than the Dubs did.

Dead-on right. All drama designed to play to the masses and manipulate emotions and opinions. What a crock of sh*t.

Before I say this, I will say that I AM a sports fan...

Why do they even have referees at these NBA games???

It looks a lot like when I was in high school...After football season, a bunch of us would get together and play what we called “Tennessee Basketball”...The only foul was dribbling...

I lost a lot of respect for Stephen Curry. I actually found myself rooting for the first time for LeBron.

Curry was very inconsistent throughout the playoffs and he was mostly ineffective in the Finals - I'm not knowledgeable enough about basketball to know why. That game Draymond Green lost to suspension cost the Warriors a chance to close out the series earlier, but even when he came back, they had no answers for LeBron James and Kyrie Irving - and Tristan Thompson was huge in the series. LeBron is one of the great players of all time and he did what he said he'd do - he brought a championship to his home state. I don't like the guy, but he's got my respect.
