    I know I just remember stretches where they couldn’t hit anything and the refs had to step in and gift free throws. That was such a nice feeling

    A quick 48-hr turnaround heading into G6. Should favor the younger legs.

    Dude, I am KNOWN for calling out Alpi. Some have called me a hater. You’re barking up the wrong tree. I’ve criticized his shooting on multiple occasions and criticized his rebounding efforts (often doesn’t track balls but rather turns toward his opponent to block him out without following the ball’s track while blocking out). But your take today that he played horribly is beyond ridiculous.

    With the advancements in PEDs, we have no idea what kind of LeBron we'll see in Game 6. He's been tired the past two games, logic would tell you he'd be even more tired for Game 6... o_O

    I think they found something. I think the free throw line will determine who wins next game.

    Not gonna lie and say I suddenly feel good about the situation of the team, but I am happy the boys showed a little backbone.

    It’s all hands on deck now. We’ll get back to the franchise player debate after the series.
