Welcome back to Garbage Time, theScore's NBA roundtable series. We're talking NBA Finals, which have been stupendous through three games. This time, each editor gets only 140 characters, because Twitter is the worst and the best.
On Games 1 through 3
Blake Murphy: Thank you, based 'Bron. This didn't look all that tight to start, then Kyrie, and now THIS is what we have? It's been awesome and unexpected.
Chris Walder: The King reigns supreme. Delly hustles. Tristan boards. Cleveland rises from the dead. Wasn't Kyrie's injury supposed to do them in? Whoops.
William Lou: Give credit to the Cavaliers: they're forcing the Warriors to play their style. A slow, halfcourt game clearly favors Cleveland.
John Chick: For some reason I keep thinking about that thing I read about the 2004 Finals, where everyone except the Pistons thought the Lakers would win.
On LeBron James
Chick: The legacy he's currently writing is like the Hollywood twist to his story. Even if they lose, he's a hero.
Lou: The Warriors should stop "letting" LeBron James score 40 a night with 12 rebounds and eight assists. It's a horrible strategy.
Walder: If the Cavs win this series, any NBA Mount Rushmore not featuring James will be ridiculous. This may be his finest work yet. All in on LBJ.
Murphy: Unbelievable. Nothing else to say. It's Herculean. It's superhuman. It might be the greatest individual playoff performance we'll ever see.
Lou (again): Lahbrawn Jaymes. Lahbrawn Jaymes. Lahbrawn Jaymes. Lahbrawn Jaymes. Lahbrawn Jaymes. Lahbrawn Jaymes. Lahbrawn Jaymes. Lahbrawn Jaymes. Lahb
On Matthew Dellavedova
Lou: Due to his high usage, LeBron's performance is drawing comparisons to Iverson in 2001. In that sense, Delly is a tiny, Australian Mutumbo.
Murphy: DellaveHOVA, b/c this the dynasty. Had reasonable doubt that the blueprint for a LeBron ring in my lifetime included an Australian gangster.
Chick: Guy was made fun of earlier in season, but as Curry said, he's an NBA player so he's done something right. Shows what a hard nose can do.
Walder: A super scrappy Aussie who isn't afraid to hit the deck, dive for loose balls, and cramp up like a boss. LeBron's No. 2 on the grand stage.
