Don't see any way at all Cleveland even wins a single game. Kyrie played amazing on Curry. Delledova got destroyed by the screens.
i'd prefer if lebron would have drove but whatevs. the cavs have to iso becuase lebron, kyrie, jr smith are the only creators on that team. and they don't have great passing guards or bigs. lebron basically played like duncan in the early 2000's. got the ball in the post and let the defense collapse on him to throw it out of the trap to open shooters. it was working effectivelty. cavs slowed the paced down. kept the turnovers low to not give many easy buckets to the warriors (unlike the rockets ), played solid defense, and crashed the boards. they were in position to beat the best home team in the league and came up short.
Yes but look at the incredibly hard falls and hits the warriors have taken... they just seem to be more epicly tough this year. Curry lands on his head, klay gets kicked in the ear, needs stitches... and they come right back. It's like their bodies are on another level as well as their play. They are just one of the best teams ever - they have that intangible hero/champion quality.

yeah, the last play of regulation,,, wtf was that? they had a full 24-sec shot clock, and that was the best they could come up with? i agree, a drive to th hole would be a lot better play. was very surprised and disappointed at that play. yes, the cavs had to run many many iso's. but 38 shots w/o too many ft's were still way too many even for a player at lebron's level. 18 for 38 wasnt a bad %, but still, that's 20 shots missed. at least he should drive to the hoop a bit more, either forcing fouls or create close range passing opportunities in the paint. the irving-mosgov(did i get his name right?) p&r was very effective. idk why they didnt run it more often.
Is Golden State going to have to play against a healthy PG at all this playoffs, this is a damn joke.
haha, i kinda feel the opposite. yes, curry's fall and thompson getting knocked in the head looked terrible, but they had 8 full days of recovery time. these injuries were still different from a knee or ankle injury. they're actually lucky to get these kinds of injuries, in my mind. imagine irving and k. thompson exchange injuries, or curry had love's injury. the media tried all season long to depict this gsw team as one of the historically great teams. maybe they have a point. but i am not completely sold. i want them to call me again when gsw wins 70 games back to back.
