    Every time Bogut is involved in the play, he's doing something illegal. He's either pulling people, holding them, or pushing them.

    Bogut held down Thompson so he wouldn't get an offensive rebound. He pulled hard on his hand, could've popped something.
    Bogut held Mozgov on that Green dunk.
    Bogut pushed Shumpert in the back for that offensive rebound where he turned down the alleyoop. Led to another Thompson 3.

    *** da Warriors.

    Damn I wish this was a blowout so I can see all those bandwagon tools walk out on their team to "beat traffic".

    Like I said JR has the capability to completely overpower the GSW bench. Unfortunately I underestimated the rest of Cleveland's bench.

    Man Warriors have never played a full strength team.

    Lebron just should not take 3s anymore unless he's on fire. Those missed 3s curb some of their momentum.

    The mid season acquisition for Shuler Smith and Mogov was pyre genius. The Cavs would be nothing without them

    Yep. They look like tired 3's. Like he's too tired to dribble or drive, and he doesn't get good lift on the jumper either.

    People talking about the Warriors struggling shooting the ball. The Cavs have been worse. Their offensive rebounding is the only reason they're up.

    Lebron has to play more efficiently, and hopefully Kyrie gets better with more reps. Klay can't guard Kyrie.

    I think if you're David Blatt, you simply have to play Lebron and Kyrie 43-44 minutes a game. Cavs' bench simply can't keep up with the Warriors'. They can hang with the Warriors starters though.

    I doubt its fatigue, dude is only shooting 18% on 3's in the playoffs, he doesnt have it at all

    I think that's also due to the lingering back and knee issues all season. He doesn't have a lot of lift on his jumpers.

    I think he'll fix it next year. But he has to be smarter if he wants to win this series.

    You can't throw away possession v. a great team like the Warriors.

    Imagine a lineup with Jr. Smith, Corey Brewer, and Josh Smith.

    How much beer would you guys need to manage that?
