Curry’s wife says NBA Finals are ‘rigged’

“They won the game in the first quarter”.

Hesitant in Games 1 and 2, he’s been in attack mode, posting up Curry for layups and short turnarounds when the Warriors inexplicably switch on screens and leave the 6-foot-3 point guard at the mercy of a 250-pound wrecking ball crammed inside a No. 23 jersey.

Things got so frustrating for Golden State that two-time league MVP Stephen Curry picked up his first career ejection and responded by throwing his infamous mouthpiece into the crowd, hitting a fan.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr answers questions after Game 6 of the NBA basketball Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Friday, June 17, 2016, in Cleveland.

The Cavs will be tipping at historic windmills trying to become the first NBA team to overturn a 1-3 series deficit in the Finals and give Cleveland its first professional sports championship since the 1964 Cleveland Browns of the National Football League.

He has nearly single-handedly punctured the Warriors’ will, leaving the defending champions with little time to figure out how to slow him down. “But those three of the six fouls were incredibly inappropriate calls for anybody, much less the MVP of the league”.

“Cleveland brought a lot of force to the game”, Kerr said.

“At the end of the day I’m going to give my teammates everything I got”, James said.

Coach Tyronn Lue’s decision to make James, and not Irving, Cleveland’s primary playmaker has swung the series. “We’ve had two great opportunities to close this series out and win a championship. So it would be a great season, but at the same time to us, the players, we’re so competitive, we’d feel like we failed”.

“It got the best of me”, Curry said, “but I’ll be all right for next game”. On the same floor where they won their title exactly one year ago, Thompson made a pair of 3-pointers as Golden State, playing without injured centre Andrew Bogut, used a 25-10 run to pull within 80-71 entering the final 12 minutes.

“We’ll rally the troops”, Kerr said.

I’m okay that we lost…

James delivered another epic performance in an elimination game and the Cavs saved their season for the second time in four days and are headed back to Oakland’s Oracle Arena for Sunday’s climactic game on the brink of history.
