Things that are near-perfect.
"I said it after we won the Eastern Conference finals that we're getting ready for a juggernaut". And they're a hungry group. "So win, lose or draw, you live with the results", added James, when asked to break down the final few minutes.
Sharks in the deep water of the ocean and lions on the prowl out on the savanna.
"No, only missed shots".
Meanwhile, Irving, going up against Klay Thompson - who played near impeccable defense all night - was dribbling the ball into the ground and putting up ill-conceived shots on no-pass possessions.
Baylor finished just 15 points shy of Michael Jordan's 1176 points in the NBA Finals, so LeBron will have an opportunity to surpass Jordan in Game 4.
"So it all comes down to this one game", Thompson said.
"We had some really good looks".
Unlike the first two games of the series, the Cavs stayed competitive through most of Wednesday's Game 4 until the Warriors went on a late 11-0 run in the fourth quarter to seal the deal.
They very easily could be playing for a third straight championship.
Were Analysts Bullish Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LON:LLOY) This Week?
The target price per share means a potential downside of -15.49% from Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LON:LLOY)'s previous stock close. JPMorgan Chase & Co. reissued an overweight rating on shares of Lloyds Banking Group PLC in a report on Monday, March 20th.
Morning fog and early evening mist.
Last season, Golden State eclipsed Michael Jordan's 1996 Chicago Bulls to set a new National Basketball Association record with 73 wins in a regular season.
Perhaps most frustrating for the Cavaliers, who host Game Four on Friday, is that after two lopsided losses to open the series they returned home and played their most complete game of the Finals only to blow six-point lead in the closing minutes. Was Irving just exhausted?
Hall of Fame icons Magic Johnson, Julius "Dr J" Erving and all the rest can state their cases for their own powerhouse teams from the past as the fanciful and impossible comparisons begin. "We missed some shots, and they made some".
This campaign was never about numbers or statistics or records.
By the time the final buzzer sounded, the Warriors won, 118-113. Lost behind Durant's excellent is Curry's 28.7 points a game alongside 9 assists and 9.7 rebounds. More importantly for the purposes of today's National Basketball Association, there's no team even remotely close when it comes to the combination of star power and championship chemistry. His jump from OKC to the Warriors was like giving Stephen Hawking a cheat sheet with all the answers for the final exam. "He got to a spot, got a switch out on Tristan, hits a big-time shot baseline and then, I mean, just hits an unbelievable game victor, just comes down in transition, that only Kevin Durant can hit". "It just looks like he understands this is his moment, this is his time".
But while, yes, LeBron was exhausted, and yes, he didn't score in the clutch (and let the Warriors get at least one bucket for next-to-nothing), you can't blame James for the Cavs' Game 3 loss - just like you can't blame him for the losses in Games 1 and 2.
Warriors reserve Andre Iguodala has watched both men maximize their skills this season. But you've got to get back to the drawing board. "How can I make these guys champions?'"
"I don't want to relax".
"I am a big football fan, by the way. So I think we have done a pretty job of growing up as a team".
