The Cleveland Cavaliers destroy Golden State 137-116 for their first win of the series. The Cavs score a NBA Finals record 86 points in the first half and finish the game shooting 53% from the field. Kyrie Irving lead Cleveland in scoring with his second career 40 point game in the finals. LeBron James continues his triple-double pace with 31 points 11 assist and 10 rebounds. Kevin Durant finished with 35 points while Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson both struggled, shooting a combined 6-1 9 from 3 point range. The 21-point defeat is the first loss for the Warriors since April 1 0th. Kyrie Irving shot 56% from the field in the Game 4 win (cnn.com ) It's about time Cleveland show up to these finals. I knew LeBron and company were too good to get swept. 24 -45 from 3 point range as a team? That's how a team that is facing elimination supposed to play. The Cavaliers were way more physical than the previous 3 games. More importantly,  the role players for Cleveland decided

The Golden State Warriors is now one win away from their second NBA title in 3 years after winning Game 3 118-113. Kevin Durant made a clutch three point shot with 45 seconds left to give the Warriors a 114-113 lead. Durant finished the game with a team high 31 points and 9 rebounds. Stephen Curry continues to have an outstanding series grabbing a playoff career high 13 rebounds to go along with 26 points. Klay Thompson also played big, scoring 30 points (16 in the 1st quarter ). LeBron James and Kyrie Irving played great for the Cavs. LeBron scored 3 9 points but only had 11 of those points in the second half. Kyrie Irving was struggling until his 16 point 3rd quarter and ended the game with 3 8 points.  Golden State can become the 1st team to finish a NBA playoffs undefeated The Warriors have beat the Cavaliers three different ways in three games. Game 1 Golden State played perfect team basketball (4 total turnovers ). Game 2 the Warriors turned the ball over 2 0 times and

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 132-113 to take a commanding 2-0 series lead. Kevin Durant had a game high 33 points along with 13 rebounds and 6 assist. Stephen Curry finishes with 32 points 10 rebounds and 11 assist, his first career playoff triple-double. LeBron James also had a triple-double with 29 points 11 rebounds and 14 assist. Kevin Love was impressive with 27 points and 7 rebounds. I'm not expecting the Cavs to come back and win this series, but I do expect Cleveland to come back at home in game 3 and get back to playing their game. Tristan Thompson having 4 rebounds is unacceptable. Kyrie Irving shooting 35% from the field is unacceptable. J.R. Smith having 0 points is mind blowing. On top of that the Cavaliers bench shot horrible from the field. Channing Frye 1-5 Iman Shumpart 0-6 and Deron Williams 0-5. Are the Cavs even trying? LeBron James is tired. James played 39 minutes in Game 2. He has been averaging 40 minutes per game in the pla

ESPN's Marc Stine reports that Chris Paul is seriously considering playing for the San Antonio Spurs next season. Sources told ESPN that Chris Paul is intrigued with the idea of playing for Coach Gregg Popovich and Kawhi Leonard. Chris Paul has never played in a conference finals in his 12 year career and has an early termination option that would make him a free agent this summer. Chris Paul to the Spurs is a great move for both parties. The one aspect that has been missing from Chris Paul's career has been the fact that he has never played for a championship franchise. New Orleans has never been deep into the playoffs and the Los Angeles Clippers is notorious for losing despite recent regular season success. Chris Paul average 18.7 points and 9.9 assist per game in 12 NBA seasons Chris Paul will also play as Tony Parker replacement. I'm not saying that Tony Parker doesn't have any good basketball left. But at 35 years old, Parker would be best coming off the

Jason Whitlock comments this past week on the FS1 talk shows " Speak for Yourself" and 'The Herd" regarding Lebron James handling of the vandalism that happen to his home were ridiculous. He said and I quote " that Lebron is not a victim, racism only effects poor people." Chris Broussard begin naming guys like Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Henry Lewis Gates, and Jason Whitlock responded, " poor people." Seriously? Who the hell are you to say these are poor people or to just designate racism to only poor people. This isn't being an uncle Tom this is Jason Whitlock being ignorant and insulting to every American rich or poor, black or white who have experienced racism. This isn't the first time Jason Whitlock has degraded his own race though, he has made awful remarks regarding Mike Tomlin and Kobe Bryant as well for ratings. He figures as long as I say these controversial things about the black race and the black athletes, I will keep the rig

Wednesday at 6:44 a.m., the Los Angeles home of LeBron James was vandalized with N-Word graffiti. LeBron said "My family is safe." and went on to say "But it goes to show that racism will always be a part of the world, a part of America, especially for African-Americans, is living every day" FS1 analyst Jason Whitlock commented on James's home being vandalized by saying that "racism is primary an issue for the poor. It's not LeBron James's issue." and that he has "removed himself from the damages and ravages of real racism." I completely disagree with those comments. Not only that but I believe that the mentality that Jason Whitlock has is the number one problem in our fight for equality. Mr. Whitlock is not the only African-American that feels that money and fame can put you "above racism". This thinking is more common than you may believe. The problem with thinking that way is that you are dividing African-Ameri
