That's LeBron's average points/rebounds/assists through the first three games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4va0yanY_z4 In Game Three, it looked like the Warriors were dead. They were down 20 in the third, and then Steph Curry woke up and remembered that he could shoot the basketball. Also, Steve Kerr woke up and remember that David Lee actually plays basketball. It was a one-point game in the fourth quarter, but then Curry made some dumb turnovers. LeBron? 40/12/8. Matthew Dellavedova had 20 points and played 38 minutes. And now we all love him. Klay Thompson didn't shoot well again. Tristan Thompson was tough inside again. JR Smiff was alright. This brings us to...  Cleveland is up 2-1. I don't think anyone saw that coming before the series started. Long story short: Golden State has to win this game as 3-1 comebacks in the NBA are extremely rare, and get more rare the further you go up the playoff ladder. If the Warriors do lose the finals, they'll be the first team to win 65+ games and be the NBA runner-up. Does LeBron go for 50? Does Steph show up for more than a half? Does Klay remember how to shoot? Does Matthew Dellavedova become the NBA's next big superstar?

The flames around Lebron is a nice touch. I'm just hoping Lebron won't be cramping up bad this game.

There's a large risk in starting David Lee: you improve the flow of the offense, but greatly damage paint defense and possibly open the lane for LeBron. Starting Iguodala is even weirder.

I would understand starting him over Barnes or Green, but I don't get starting him over Bogut unless Kerr has insane bullshit cooked up
