This is insane! The Warriors won their first two home games in this series by a combined 41 points. It's emotional. It's possibly the last game of the season, so you definitely don't want to give up anything easy. "So, I think we've found that medium". "We know what our keys to victory is. We know what we have to do in order to win this game". No team in National Basketball Association history has bounced back from a 3-0 finals deficit.
The insane but enjoyable game, which took two hours, 51 minutes to complete, also featured a lot of trash-talking, numerous delays, lousy officiating and several hard fouls, all of which was just fine with Lue, who hopes his players bring the same physical approach tonight.
LeBron also had an All-Star Game type moment - but this was a real play in a real Finals game, and one which demonstrated his awesome basketball instincts after he got caught in the air with nothing to do - except pass it to himself off the board.
Of course, calling the people that inspire you to get out of bed in the morning tiresome isn't usually a good way to keep them happy. "So do we get him the ball more?"
On Sunday, James took a question on the subject of Kevin Durant joining the Warriors from TNT and NBA.com's David Aldridge. Being down 3-1, we understand that it's a predicament that we put ourselves in. "But we'll go tee it up again".
What could be a coronation might also give the Warriors a coronary issue. All told, it was an off night for the Warriors while it was do or die for the Cavs, and the latter crew decided they want three more showdowns for a possible repeat.
Geri Halliwell's comeback tribute to George Michael
Numerous lyrics pay tribute to songs from George's iconic discography, which will undoubtedly touch fans of the " Faith " singer. She revealed that she was "so scared" of what people would think about the song, and was highly emotional when writing the song.
Irving hit 15-of-27 shots from the floor, going 7-of-12 from 3-point range to set the pace for a finals record 24 3-points on 45 attempts. They were faster and more physical than Golden State.
Each of the top five highest Finals totals have now come from this series, and every contest except for game 1 has gone over. Overall, they have more weapons and they appear to have grown and matured from last year's meltdown.
"It's natural for you to look up and see the finish line right there, and you tend to focus on that instead of the task at hand", Green said. If the Cavs win this one tonight, that shirt could prove to be a bigger deal than you think, especially with Draymond Green's completely unnecessary anti-Cleveland rant the other day. "It's like, 'Whoa.' You remember what can be, what can happen".
He has also stepped up his free-throw game, averaging 91.4 percent for his attempts in this Finals series, a big 3.2 percent increase in his usual 88.2 percent free throw accuracy throughout his career. But not since 1951 has a team down 3-0 forced a seventh game in the finals.
James shrugged off unbeaten runs and celebration talk and just kept his mind on the moment.
In Game 4 he not only got a technical, but after a misunderstanding by the officials had "Hit the road Jack" echoing through the arena, he was mocking the fans in Cleveland. "We have been in this situation before". We know what it takes to win a championship. And I'm not one to judge and say if it's fair or not if guys are adding players to their team.
