    This looks bad on the Cavs being this close after bron’s performance in the first

    Its nice that Westbrook taught Vic how to get SWOL.

    Good thing he didn't also teach him how to shoot, or finish around the rim, or pass.

    It really sucks that OKC managed to make the playoffs, they were closer than i ever expected to be left out and man that would've been crazy good to see...like, just think about the MVP playing with two all stars missing the playoffs after we heard for a year that he had no help bla bla, or imagine hearing someone say "Oladipo is this good thanks to Westbrook" right now, with George not being able to play in the playoffs...life sucks.

    Dude, it's never a travel if it's not James Harden doing it.

    Collison is no great PG, but he's no worse than Jeff Teague, who wanted big bucks. Definitely need a PG upgrade. Pacer fans want Jalen Brunson at 23.

    Hes a lot more fun to watch play than westbrook imo.

    Im also biased because i watched him play at college . A lot of my family went to IU

    i didn't see the first half, but cleveland's role players have been a new level of crap in the 3rd quarter.

    after railing against rodney hood in game 1, literally the only 2 times he touched it in the quarter he dribble, spun, and lost the ball. both times, same play!

    jeff green' first touch was him standing out of bounds in the corner.

    on one of hood's turnovers, lebron got back and stopped oladipo, so calderon got the rebound, ignored lebron running up the court and got the ball poked away for another turnover.

    and jr had a layup attempt that he turned into a fired bullet pass out of bounds.

    and that's on top of the defensive breakdowns. i mean missing shots, not being physically able to guard someone, that's ok, but at least don't take stuff off the table like the above plays.

    updated: hood's next immediate contribution is another bricked mid-range jumper followed by trying to take a charge 2 feet inside the charge circle for a gimme 3 point play.

    If that hand injury is serious... I am not liking the Cavs chances of getting out the west.

    uhh, kevin, you wanna pick the ball up right in front of you before you start holding your hand because you jammed a finger? just give up a free layup. i mean i would give up on the play, but i don't get $25M a year to play hard in the playoffs.

    lebron seems tired. fadeaway instead of spinning to the basket on one play, holds the ball entire shotclock and shoots a jumper next possession, then just lets bogdonavic front him and shoves him instead of getting good possession the next play.
