Not likely, but they are fighting as hard as they can.

LeBron. I don't think it should be close.

Well, that could be the ballgame ....

wow lebron....the entire squad plus the best player in the world can't buy a shot

That pretty much summed up the series. LeBron with a wide open three, and he doesn't have the legs to sink it.

Great run by the Cavs. LeBron is not human. They will be back next year.

proud of this squad. screw what the haters say. i love my team and my city!!! good job cavs!!1

Well I'm changing the channel..

If I hear Steph Curry say "What?!" One more time I might drive to Cleveland and punch him in the face..

Y'know, I'm down. But not down like I was when the Indians lost game 7 to Boston. These guys were impressive this year and we have nothing to be ashamed of.

god it sucks being a cleveland fan. The curse continues.

Going to be saying "maybe next year" for the rest of my life.

I don't think that how this series wore him down can be overestimated. He worked his butt off trying to win this series, but I just believe that he had nothing left to give at the end. (and probably the last 3 games)

Yes. Still extremely proud of this team. If the Red Sox can come back one year removed from Aaron Freaking Boone and win the Series, then we can come back one year after Kelly Freaking Olynyk and win a Championship.

If I'm Olynyk I call in sick when Boston comes to Cleveland next year.

He's going full Carlos Boozer.

Iggy? lol

Closer than you thought.

Can't deny that he did come up big for them when it counted. If JR was hitting the shots he should've we might be talking about Friday right now.

In today's world, no one will ever win an MVP on a losing team..

If it was ganna be a Warrior, it had to be AI.

Because MVP now means "Guy who played the best on the winning team"

We need to get rid of the dead weight on our roster. Get rid of guys like Mike Miller and Haywood ASAP. Marion is retiring anyways so it doesn't matter with him. Things the Cavs need to address in the offseason-

1. Resign Love
2. Resign Shump
3. Resign Della
4. Resign TT
5. Draft an athletic wing for depth

Love is the #1 priority.

Iggy deserved it - as Candy said before. Just gotta tip your cap and move on.

Can say that about the entire team. If we hit half of our missed wide open looks, and sank our free throws, we would of won going away.

These guys gave everything they had, and in the end they just didn't have enough left. No shame in that. They lost to a team that had the best record in the regular season, and even missing 2 of their top 3, they took them to 6 games.

They have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Cavaliers fans should be extremely proud of this team.

Haywood is on the books for 10m next year.. im interested to see what Griffin does with it..

10 million, non guaranteed. That is a very valuable piece.

I can agree with that. Miller has a player option that he'll most definitely pick up, but both him and Haywood will be good expiring contracts in a year where that might be a valuable commodity.

I don't know who this Haywood person is, but if he's getting that much money why wasn't he a contributing factor this year? I don't recall hearing his name called at all this series, or the games that were on tv I could watch.

My brother is not a fan of any specific team, in any sport..

But sure enjoys telling me how much the Cavs and Browns suck..

Fun.

you think Delly should be resigned.

let's take a step back for a second here.

i love the guy.....but we need more than just a defender. he has to score, and he couldn't do it.

As a backup PG I love Delly..

He shouldn't have been starting obviously..

I'm use to haters. It's just another day at the office for me.

Well, if all that was asked of him was after coming off the bench to spell Kyrie I think he's definitely worth keeping around. Just make sure there are people who can score on the floor with him.

Not like Shump and TT are offensive juggernauts.

our backup PG needs to be able to score.

even GS backup Barbosa was putting up points.

That's because he graduated 1st class in the Mike Dantoni run and gun with no defense school

TT is an offensive rebounder. thats huge.

Shump stills scores on average more than delly, and plays good D.

i love Delly, but he needs to work on getting some offensive game. if Blatt can make that happen, i got no issues with keeping him.

But our guards lost us this series, guys. we can say injuries all we want, which i agree. but the team we had on the floor this series couldn't hit an open shot at all.

JR at least can defend and can go off. shumpert has below average offensive and elite D.

Delly has zero offense and good Defense. but we need points from a floor general.

Cavs HC David Blatt: "Not every story has a happy ending. Doesn't mean it was a bad story."

He had a relatively small contract this year that explodes to a $10 million non guaranteed deal next year.

He can potentially be traded to a team that is over the cap to take back a similar contract. That is why he was on the roster all year long. He had, potentially, huge value.

LeBron James is 1st player in NBA Finals history to lead BOTH teams in points, assists & rebounds for entire series.

Not sour grapes, but I think we will face the Thunder in the finals next year. Outside of Chicago, nobody is a threat to us in the East.

Yep ... Iggy getting the MVP is a travesty.


... should of been Kelly Olynyk.
