What's the status of Mike Miller? Is he injured? He's one of the best 3 point shooters in the game and while at Miami was a key factor in their Championship runs.

Great game. Loved it. I knew once it went to OT the Dubs would prevail. They have a better team, and Cleveland had a chance to steal it in regulation. Lebron played great. Dude can't afford to have any off games. If he did, game wouldn't have been close. Kyrie is always hurt. Imagine how sick this finals would be if Love and Kyrie were actually healthy.
The Dubs are the best team in the NBA and deserve the chip. It seems like destiny because they've had a pretty ideal run and perfect health. I don't think any other contending team has had that.

Ya, I thought that shot by Shumpert at the end of the game was going in. It would've been one hell of a shot.
This wasn't a great game by Lebron though. He disappeared in OT, and defensively he didn't have a good game at all. On top of that, he was 11-28 from the field on ISO plays (7-10 on shots that came from assists), and he really didn't make his teammates better this game. But I give a lot of credit to GS's defense and their game plan. It was the right move not to double Lebron, because he's not Kobe or MJ when it comes to that 1 on 1 post / mid range game. He's great finisher / passer, but not a shooter.

Lebron put up a lot of shots but he had to and he came thru in the 4th. The entire Cavs squad was gassed in OT. If Lebron didn't have a score first mentality it wouldn't have been close. Even though you dislike him, you do see how he has to carry this team an insane amount right? Like WAY more than Steph has to carry his team. I mean, GS is just a better team. Deep, and really solid team.

Wow, I didn't think his fall looked bad enough to cause a fracture. Oh well, Warriors better take advantage then.

Damn, that's bad news. These playoffs were decimated by injuries.

His knee was already f**ked up to begin with, plus on that play it looked like he bumped knees with I think it was Klay

It was, but I'd think more force would be required in order to create a fracture. Being out for 3 to 4 months means that it isn't even a hairline, so I'm just kind of surprised.

Lebron is still gonna will the Cavs to make this games really close but I can't see them winning 4 out of 6 games against the Warriors without Irving.
