    Yup. Can already imagine: "Disgraceful flopping by Harden" ... "League should do something about it"

    Yeah it is but Mark jackson literally said "I'm okay with that" and JVG didn't argue like he usually does everything. Mark Breen also said "West did move slightly forward" like they were all trying to defend Wade for some reason. I've heard them get all over Harden when he pulls the same cheap stuff. Double standard.

    46-44. What a low scoring first half!

    The cavs are shooting 28%. I don't know how they are in the game.

    yeah the cavs are shooting poorly and only down 2 but they're not in a perfect spot to win this game.

    they could easily keep shooting like trash and the warriors blow them out in the 2nd half.

    Warriors turnovers and 3-point shooting.

    Cavs have a great chance to close this out in the 2nd half. While they are playing better than against the Nuggets, Warriors just look off to me. They've shown serious kinks the last few games.

    I hate Christmas day games and all they stand for. Of course technicals are a part of it. Jawing at each other and the whole bullshit. Play the game and leave the BS out of it, please.

    Is it because the Grizzlies never have any nationally televised games on Christmas?

    lebron needs to get in scorer mode instead of pass first mode.

    I wonder how Love feels always getting dragged in the media despite having huge games.

    What I want to see is what happens when IT returns. Which guy will be the 3rd wheel and can they be effective in that role.

    if cp3 had a big game while harden was complete trash they would definitely use that against him in mvp arguments.

    The Cavs are shooting 29% from the field. And the Warriors are only up by 4. LOL.

    Warriors continue to lay bricks from long range for the 2nd game in a row. I think it will be tough for them to win if that continues.

    LeBron has to get untracked. Problem is, there are 3 Warriors that can legitimately guard him (KD, Draymond and Bell). Besides Love, other Cavs are complete garbage today.

    I think the Cavs will get it done unless the Warriors start hitting 3s.

    Without Curry they don't break down opponent defenses as much and can't get as many open shots.

    this game is funny.

    the warriors "others" are completely dominating the cavs "others"

    the cavs have probably the top 3-4 worst players this game.

    But Cavs are shooting 13/29 from 3ptr while Warriors are shooting 7/28 from three.

    eFG is a better stat.
