Inb4 all the "LeBron's a choker/can't win when it matters" stuff. Again.

The Cavs only chance was when it looked like Curry had possibly died Monday night.
Warriors need to win tonight. For some reason I am terrified that they won't. This Rockets team is so damn weird like that.

James Harden was pretty awesome the other night, and they did come back from 3 down before. Agreed.

Thank goodness it is in Oakland. Warriors should get it done.

Random stat on Lebron from sports radio here in Boston:

Lebron is the first non-Celtic to ever appear in five Finals in a row. And he's first to ever do that on two teams.

If my memory is correct, there actually were no NBA Finals that year. It was really weird.

Has a (potentially) all-time great team ever been as under-the-radar as the Warriors have been thus far? I mean almost everybody has acknowledged their obvious superiority this year, and I could be wrong, but it seems like outside of statheads there hasn't been a ton of talk about them as an all-time great team. I've noticed an uptick in the last week or so, but still. At this point I think they are massively underrated.

To the non-NBA junkie I think they are vastly underrated for the dominant season they've had. If they win tonight and win in 5 games or so they will have one of the best seasons ever. I think most casual fans don't see them as being dominant because they've been so far out of the title picture for so long.

They need to seal the deal first. There have been a lot of very good regular season teams history has forgotten due to a failure to get the chip.
