    Curry is just sooooo good. In the 4th quarter of every game, I feel like he has hit some of the most ridiculous shots.

    What did he say?

    I won't deny that LeBron's been great, but the ESPN lovefest can be too much.

    Pound the ball inside. Slow down the pace and make the Warriors adjust

    I am so hoping for a Lebron free finals in the near future.

    Eastern Conference is gonna have to get a whole lot better.. Unfortunately, Him & Kyrie are good enough to contend in the East for the foreseeable future... UGH

    And possibly Love if he resigns.

    Eastern conference is garbage and looks to remain that way. No reason why they don't make it there every year.

    The East has been a mess since Jordan retired. It's amazing that things haven't changed at all and the West remains loaded.

    And then next year all we'll be hearing is how he got to the finals for 6 years in a row and so on and so forth with barely a whisper about how poor the competition out east is.

    He said Blatt shouldn't have gone small. Should have stayed big and made Kerr deal with pounding it down low instead of trying to play GS's game. He correctly pointed out that GS is used to playing small, Cavs are not.

    Difference is that West I believe played with a torn hamstring, a busted nose and that team he played against were head hunting him too.

    Warriors turned Game 4 around by going small...Cleveland had to adjust to them. Golden State was just quicker to the ball on the perimeter and to the boards. Iguadala was taking Moscov out rendering him useless on defense and unable to keep up with the tempo.

    When Love got injured, Cavs fans were whining and complaining that Olynyk needed to be suspended. Olynyk was "dirty". When it comes to Delleavenova though, he does the same thing or worse and yet they somehow want to argue that he's not dirty. He's "scrappy".

    I hope the Warriors send that in to the league office. Get him suspended for a game like Olynyk. Like you said, it's the same thing and this is what the 6-7th dirty play of the playoffs for him?

    I mean he hooks his arm and then takes out his legs, holding his arm the whole way down. This guy ain't nothing but a punk. Whenever play gets physical or he gets tangled with a player he does something like this.

    Because he's doing a number of other things at a rate we haven't seen since Kobe.

    I can't hate on the guy in this series when he's on the floor. He's been tremendous. If it were any other guy I'd give him his due, so if I'm being objective what LeBron is doing is fantastic. It doesn't have to be historic, but it's definitely been amazing.

    If he pushes this to Game 7 and they lose in a close game, I say give him the MVP. He's been that important and he's been that good. If they lose Game 6 like I want them to though, then my MVP still goes to Iguodala. He's been the best two-way player on the Warriors by far. An amazing job defensively and he keeps the Cavs defense constantly on their toes by pushing the ball and getting into the paint.

    regarding the kobe/lebron asymmetric coverage:

    they are correct in what they're saying about lebron. one can play well whilst shooting 40%.

    they were just wrong in how they treated kobe in the past.

    don't hold your breath waiting for the admission.

    So, I'm hearing a lot of talk for LeBron as FMVP, even if the Cavs lose. I don't mind that argument, but here are some numbers that support Curry.

    Curry was +24 (highest on the team) last night. LeBron was -11.
    Curry was +18 the game before (second highest on the team). LeBron was -15.

    Overall, in these finals, LeBron has the 4th lowest +/- on his team at -4.4. Curry has the second highest +/- on his team at +7.6 (Iggy has the highest).

    Curry in these finals:
    26.2 ppg
    6.0 apg
    5.0 rpg
    59.1 TS%
    +7.6
    Those are great numbers. They aren't as gaudy as LeBron's numbers, but what makes Curry so great is that he has been absolutely clutch in the 4th quarter.

    Curry in the 4th quarter of these finals:
    10.4 ppg
    56.3 FG%
    50.0 3P%
    75.1 TS%
    +8.4

    Those are insane numbers. It's one of the main reasons why Warriors consistently pull away or make a surge/comeback in the 4th quarter.

    i think up until the missed FTAs and curry's explosion, a strong case could be made for iggy as mvp. depending upon how the rest of the series unfolds, it still might be viable. dude's been nails.
