Finally GSW play some proper D on LeBrone and they get the easy win. More of the same, please.

Lebron from the start of the game already looked sloppy and tired, even before the injury.

And JR has been so disappointing. Players like him are supposed to be better at home, but he was trash. One possession he took 3 three point shots and missed them all, smh.

For the first time in the series, he was double teamed and LeBrons numbers have dropped accordingly. Dropping bogut who makes no use of his size on the offensive play was a good call.

Iguadala got iggy with it lol.

That depth.

GS has played solid D vs LeBron all series long, that's never been the problem.

No they haven't. He'd been having his way under the basket all series long. Iguodala didn't give any easy shots yesterday. He only made 7 shots, got 20 points instead of 35-40 and that was the difference.

LeBron's been shooting 38% from the floor this series so far. That IS good D that's been played against him.

No, that's poor shot selection/lack of options. The percentage is low because he was taking too many shots from high post and the arc, he encountered very little resistance under the basket....until yesterday. He went down from an average of 36 attempted shots in the series to 22, from 41 average points to 20. Something obviously changed dramatically.

he was exhausted tonight. that's why it looks like he was well defended. when gs realized that any of the cavs players can't score for 3pt they started to dobule-team him. iguodala plays godly.

[iseah100 5,612]

Was saying yesterday to my friend they needed to go small, Spurs were at their best when Diaw was playing. Good choice by Kerr.

If LeBron has to miss anytime, the Cavs are in trouble. In the time he has not been on the floor, the Cavs have shot 17%. Iggy shut down James (the head injury helped that). Delly was gassed, the Cavs are just tired and a trip to the west coast will not help them.

[empire of emotions 247]

lebron is -27 when defended by iguodala.

LeBron looked exhausted ever since tip-off. Golden State has too many weapons. Lebron has to be on the floor 100% of the time while giving 150% to even keep the Cavs competitive. Too much pressure on just one guy.

The talent gap between the two team is just too much

The Golden State Warriors (GSW) are The NBA 2014/2015 Season Winners and Champions Winning the Series 4 - 2 over Cleveland Cavaliers (CLE) in Game 6 of The NBA Finals.

The most horrible trophy presentation ever. Doris Burke is just too intrusive

Credits to Lebron, he was fucking amazing in this series. I firmly believe he would lead any team to the finals. With Love and Irving Cavs would have won easily. Curry is a great player but James is a different level.

This season was great, I hope next year the Bulls could make it to the finals.

Iggy MVP well deserved. Id put Draymon over Curry too. 6'7" playing center and defending a 7'1" tank and boxing out a 6'9" offensive rebounding machine.

Why not Lebron? I think it's clear that he was the best. I don't understand why is it a must to pick someone from the winning team.

Igoudala was great though.

11 votes were tallied. 7 for Iggy and 4 for LeBron (0 for Curry). I think it's fair that it's not unanimous for Iggy. But you have to give it to somebody in the winning team. I'd guess that LeBron wouldnt want the award anyway since it's a reminder that he lost (pure conjecture).

I still remember Messi winning the golden ball in the 2014 WC. Which was super odd and I think the FBI should investigate now.
