No, but quotes like these are clarion calls to James haters/fanboys and Warriors haters

And Bogut. And Iguodala for game 7.

Remember last year when curry and Thompson called out the Cavs and LeBron started smiling during that interview before game 5? I hope this guys comments struck that nerve in LeBron. These pricks need an arse kicking

Exactly. Ppl want to compare back to back Finals as if they happened in a vacuum.
I honestly don't think the 2014 Spurs win if not for the heartbreak in 2013.
This Finals will be markedly different from the last two. Both teams are healthy, James is playing the best ball of his career, and the Warriors are deeper.

Possibly, but even with Lebron being a cut above everyone on the floor, the warriors are the better team. Their style of play is hard to defend. On any given night you have 6 guys who can legitimately take over a game. They don't just beat you with one guy. That's the problem with previous Cavs teams. For them to beat the warriors Kyrie and K Love have to play lights out. For GS to win they just ha e to play team basketball and let the flow of the game determine who shines on any given night, whether it's SC, Thompson, KD or Green. They are so balanced it's hard to stop them.

I wonder the same, except if Currey were healthy and Draymon Green not suspended for game 5.
Also, why does GS get the "Draymond missed game 5 and they lost" excuse when CLE's 3rd best player missed a game in the same series and CLE won by 30? What kind of logic is that?

I hope Cleveland fricking sweeps

Cle has Lebron, so they'll always have a chance to win it. However, I just don't see them beating this GS team. Just too much firepower. I think Durant will be unstoppable in that series.

Draymond is much more important to the Warriors than Love is to the Cavs, especially in that series. Love had games where he only played 25, 21, and 12 minutes in the finals.

Or now game 6 would have gone last year if the NBA didn't suspend Draymoand when leBron was starting and talking shite all night to Curry and Green in game 5.
LeBron scored 41 in Game 5 when Green was suspended in a Cavs blowout win. LeBron scored 41 in Game 6 when Green was playing in a Cavs blowout win.

This, more than anything else, is why the Cavs won the series. Golden State poked the bear and he got angry.
ETA: Kyrie Irving catching fire in the last three games also helped.

You can't tell me that LeBron didn't play Game 5 with some hatred on his mind after those guys called him soft. He was out to send a message and he did. He was the best player on the floor and he just punished Golden State, and particularly Curry, from that point forward.

It did not make him try harder or be more locked in. He was already at max motivation and effort, he couldn't ramp it up any more than it already was.
You say that as if being down 3-1 isn't enough to make you try your hardest.
Fwiw, I'm not saying it didn't motivate him. I'm saying players will use anything to get to max motivation, so if those comments never happened, he'd still find something else to make him just as motivated, like being down 3 games to 1.

The Warriors are the team version of Lebron's personality

They need that, plus Kevin Love contributing heavily this time. They do that every game, they can win this.
But Love's such a question mark against this team. It's hard to imagine him playing like they need him to but it's not impossible.

You seent Love's aggression on defense recently?
He knows what he has to bring for the Cavs to be successful against GS. I think he has bought in.

No, the Warriors are just a reflection of the Bay Area. A bunch of insufferable arrogant bitches
