When the Cavs win this series all the hate on Lebron has to immediately stop

I love LeBron's mindset and how he's doing whatever it takes to will his team to victory. Whether it's scoring, rebounding or assists.

Even if you aren't a LeBron fan, you have to respect the dudes game! Dude is the best player in the game right now, undeniable.

Not another injury for Cleveland
— Chris Taft (@BlessedTaft) June 10, 2015
Cavs can't afford anymore injuries.

All these injuries in the NBA, I don't see why "our NFL" contracts can't be guaranteed. I believe it promotes loyalty on both sides.

Love, Varejo, Irving, maybe Shumpert. No real excuses for GSW to not win a NBA championship. #SilverPlatter

Would a GSW player be offended if Kerr wanted 30 shots a piece for Curry and Thompson?
