James, Cavs, Meant to Lose?

source:nba.com

The Cleveland Cavaliers put up a mostly valiant fight in The NBA Finals, but ultimately were short on firepower and succumbed to the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 to lose the series. LeBron James was great all series and was arguably the MVP of these Finals, too, but that’s all over for now. James and the Cavs must ponder the offseason and some choices lie

Will Gilas Pilipinas Win It All?

Gilas Pilipinas head coach Tab Baldwin's recent confirmation that former NBA player Andray Blatche was 100 percent committed to playing for the Philippines at the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship sent shockwaves across Asia.

Blatche, one of two naturalized players the Filipinos may choose to bring in the biennial tournament, will certainly make the Philippines - the runners-up at the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship - an even stronger unit when the competition begins in China. But will his presence be enough to make the Pinoys the absolute title favorites?

Why Exactly The Cavs Lost in the Finals

Report: LeBron James repeatedly defied David Blatt during NBA Finals!!!!

LeBron James did damn near everything for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2015 NBA Finals, carrying an injury-plagued roster lacking any viable supplemental shot creators through six games against the deeper, healthier, better Golden State Warriors. It was a virtuoso performance that had many wondering whether he deserved MVP honors even in defeat, which came Tuesday night in Game 6, allowing the Dubs to celebrate their first NBA championship in 40 years on James' home court at Quicken Loans Arena.

Finals defeats too much to bear for James

LeBron James has tasted defeat four times in NBA Finals now but that does not make it any easier to swallow. In fact, losing to Golden State hurt so much he would rather miss out on the playoffs altogether than lose another championship series.

James led the way for Cleveland with 32 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists in Game Six on Tuesday but it was not enough to carry the Cavaliers to victory over the Warriors.

Golden State picked up their first title in 40 years with the 105-97 win in Cleveland.

“When you fall short it hurts,” James told reporters. “I’m starting to (think) I’d rather not even make the playoffs than to lose in the Finals. It would hurt a lot (less).”

Filipino Divers score ZERO point at 2015 SEA Games!

Zero point. That is what Filipino divers John Elmerson Fabriga and John David Pahoyo got after botched dives today during this year’s Southeast Asian Games (SEAG) in Singapore. Fabriga who went first landed on his back and Pahoyo, who followed, awkwardly landed feet first. Both seemingly failing to attain enough altitude in their launches off the board.

Which 3 Players Have Been in Every NBA Finals From 1998 Until Now?

Can you guess?

If you’re like us, then you think that the 2015 NBA Finals has everything a hardcore basketball fan could possibly want. Maybe even a bit more.

How often do the two best teams in the league manage to make it through their respective conferences to set up a final round with all the makings of a Rocky Balboa-style slugfest? We’ll give you a moment to ponder this. Exactly. It doesn’t happen as often as you might think. This matchup is special. These two juggernauts are special.

The Golden State Warriors are smooth. Super smooth. This club moves the ball around with precision and accuracy. It picks up the tempo, picks apart the opponent, and drops an avalanche of daggers from the outside. And this all starts with the 2014-15 Most Valuable Player. There is a good chance that lethal shooter Stephen Curry isn’t human. No person from this planet should have that pretty of a release or that craftiness with the ball in his hands. It’s unhealthy to think about. Of course, he’s not the only freak of nature in this series. You can’t forget about the King.

All LeBron James did was return home to the Cleveland Cavaliers – a team that won just 33 games last season – and mold a group of young and inexperienced players into a championship-caliber bunch. In his fifth straight NBA Finals appearance, James will be up against his greatest challenge. But this Cleveland team does have what it takes to complete the unlikeliest of turnarounds. With a suffocating defense, a supporting cast that doesn’t shy away from the moment, and an “All In” mindset, the Cavs are prepared to take down the favored Warriors.

Yes, this series has everything you could possibly want. And yet, from a historical standpoint, that’s not necessarily the case. Despite everything this NBA Finals has going for it, there are a few missing pieces. Or better yet, a few missing players. For the first time since the 1998-1999 season, one of three key figures in the National Basketball Association will not be vying for a championship. Who are these superstars? Take a look and find out for yourselves.
