[@abprepboy33]

to be fair though- kds shot didnt decide the game. Cavs had plenty of time to try and get a couple good shots and play 2 for 1. Kyrie irving drained the clock dribbling the ball and didnt create a better shot for himself than he had 20 seconds earilier. It looked like he wanted it to be dramatic or something. but if hes gonna shoot a horrible shot with defense right on him- atleast do it early in the shot clock.

LBJ guarding Dray who is no way a threat offensively. - Milks the clock down to 4 then passed to Korver 3pt (Missed) - With 10 seconds left, passes to JR Smith who almost loses the ball, then KL shoots a 3pt (Missed) & a Turnover. Meanwhile LBJ just looking, walking to the half court.

The Warriors, Cavs and the Spurs were so far ahead of the competition that the 2nd round of the playoffs was actually not relevant in any way you look at it. The East was already decided before the year even began and the only reason the West wasn’t a guarantee was because Kawhi decided to get into the argument of best player out of nowhere and the Spurs playstyle was the kryptonite of the the Warriors even though the Warriors had much more talent. It was ridiculous. That was the best Warriors team ever, the best Cavs team ever and the best Spurs team ever that didn’t have Duncan in it.

The Defense by Klay was impeccable! Shut down Kyrie! F Kd and Curry. Klay played the biggest role!

[@styvoll2004]

Man I miss this gsw.. 4:43 these guys were on the same frkn page defensively.

[@jhuot23]

KD was the weakest move to join a championship team but the door was open didn't wanna retire with 0 rings.

There was nothing weak about that. He didn't cry for trades He was a free agent

[@tsosway486]

Wanted to say that this series was a lot more competitive than it looked similar to the 2012 finals between okc and miami the difference was that while both teams historically were juggernaunts on offense. But on defense the warriors ranked 2nd with a defensive rating of 104 while the cavs ranked 21 with a rating of 110.3. Had the cavs been a top 10 or even top 13 defense this series at least goes 6 games prolly 7 with the cavs maybe winning the series

[@jeremyroberts8822]

Spot on analysis man. You can see the difference in defense just in this final 2-3 mins of the game. While the cavs are struggling to get any open look on the other end of the court the warriors were getting any open look they wanted easily. Before the KD 3, look how easily steph got that layup. They really didn’t even try to contest it he just went full speed right past them

[@tsosway486]

They lacked effort throughout the entire season and it's not like this team didn't have solid defenders they still had most of the pieces from last year and the cavs were 10th last year

After watching this game the cavs really let that game slip out of their hands they went on a 0-10 run, bricking 3s and love with the turnover on an easy basket that could’ve put the cavs up 8 with less than 2 minutes to go. Probably sealing the game.

[@LivinhItUp]

This game definitely decided the series. Cavs win this game and the next and anything goes in game 7. But KD being the main difference he was supposed to be and even a great Cleveland roster couldn't push it to at least 6 games.

[@IMSLIMEFR]

facts love realky shoulda been hit traded wen he first was dere

[@hackman88]

3:10 that's what "killer instinct" looks like. Given the opportunity to prevail, KD takes the shot without hesitation. No time wasted.

[@jeffersoncristobal6386]

Because the NBA only focuses only with Lebron winning moments. In 2016, they always talked about the block but not Kyrie’s shot. And the highlights of 2017 Finals are hard to find in KZbin because it features Lebron losing….. a ton

[@eamonkelley3811]

That sequence changed the whole historical narrative of these teams in the Finals. Each had won 1 title and if Cavs win game 3 they got the momentum back. Instead Cavs win one more game, lose then get swept the next year.

NBA Finals game at home, fighting to avoid gettin in the 0-3 hole. And what happens to the delusional, safe declared GOAT? He just chokes, as usual. Gets humilliated, as usual for a SIX-FINALS-LOSER. And the Warriors gave him half of those NBA Finals beatings. A classic.
