J.R. Smith reporting for duty in the NBA Finals. "I'm pretty good I would think", he said. Now, with four All-Stars in their prime, Golden State has dynastic potential. Not that he's been a complete non-factor; that would be Tristan Thompson, who has fewer rebounds than Curry. For tonight, numberFire gives the Warriors a 53.7% chance of winning, which is appropriate given that they're on the road and the Cavs have someone who's quite good in that LeBron James guy.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James (23) drives on Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala, right, during the second half of Game 3 of basketball's NBA Finals in Cleveland, Wednesday, June 7, 2017. They posed for several photographs with Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer, who is from nearby Ashtabula and has attended Cavs games in the past.
LeBron James on a fast break is pretty much the scariest thing going on these days in the National Basketball Association. But we all should have seen it coming after taking one look at the intense focus on his face before the game began. "We have to give them something to cheer for". "I'm hoping as the series goes on for me, get some more looks and be able knock 'em down". It's been two games.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that Durant has played with goal throughout the series.
In the long run, $22 million will be forgotten about, as another title surely will boost the value of the Warriors by at least that much.
Irving is 18-for-45 in this series with more turnovers (seven) than three-pointers (five).
Steve loves the Warriors and Alex goes hard for the Cavs.

Understandably the fans were upset, but none as upset as the lovable baseball-headed character known as Mr. Met's closest colleague, the Phanatic of the Philadelphia Phillies, for their comment on the matter.
So Irving and James combined for 77 points, and the Cavs still lost. They have won 30-of-31 dating back to the regular season.
The Cavaliers need to win Game 3 to have any shot at getting back into this series.
"They're definitely throwing a lot of bodies at me. You could tell he knew this was his moment". The shooting barrage comes one game after they hit a finals record 18 from long range in Game 2. When you've been burned before by Irving, and the wounds from last summer are still fresh, nothing is taken for granted. The sharpshooter missed a potential game-sealing 3-pointer with 50 seconds left.
"He's got great one-on-one moves, the best in the world", Thompson said. "Like Steph, he can get into a rhythm with his handles and his shot to where you just can't stop him. I'm just trying to take as much of that away as possible".
Sometimes, the other team is just better. This season they shot 38 percent, second only to the Spurs. They also made 13 a game, second only to the long-ball-happy Rockets, giving them a risky extra dimension besides LeBron.
With that avenue closed off, or seriously limited, LeBron is forced to labor.
Still, Durant isn't looking too far ahead. "And that's where it stands". He fails to get specific about what sorts of operating costs would eat into that $22 million-the only costs he makes note of are the fees the team would have to pay to food vendors-but he's correct in noting that the National Basketball Association only taking 25 percent of ticket sales, instead of 45 percent they used to take, would be a boon.
