    People seem to love to rag on Blatt, but he's been really really solid in his overall game-planning. I'm not sure just any coach gets these guys this far.

    LOL how embarrassing does it have to be to be a Warriors fan right now? Your team loses AT HOME to a team down 2 starters in a game the refs do everything in their power to hand you on a platter.....that's just sad.

    The Cavs shot 32%. Offensively, they sucked in historic proportions. So no, they don't have a better chance without Kyrie.

    Well, the game 2 win vs game 1 loss says otherwise.

    JR Smith nearly cost the Cavs the game. He's going to have to play better, and smarter, if they're going to win this series. Curry won't be shooting like that every night, and with Irving out, Cavs are going to need guys like JR to step it up.

    More embarassing loss. Us against Clippers without CP3 in game 1 this year or GS losing at home against Loveless and Kyrie-less Cavs?

    It's gotta be this one, at least the Rockets were down 2 starters too. The Dubs were essentially at full strength and still lost.

    You people can celebrate all you want, but the Cavs still have very little chance.

    The Warriors biggest weapon had a horrible shooting night and it was still a coin flip game. The Cavs just don't have enough weapons to beat the Warriors without some massive luck equalizer.

    Some massive luck to counter the massive luck the Warriors have had during the entire post-season? Even with the Warriors "massive luck equalizer" they still lost a game at home with the refs doing all in their power to hand the game to Golden State.....

    The Warriors probably end up coming back and winning the series because the Cavs are still down 2 starters, but the Warriors look like a joke of a team that had a fluke of a season. If they face a fully healthy team from the 2nd round on, are they even still in it? Maybe?

    This could've easily been 2-0 in favor of the Cavs. The Cavs have led 70% of the time in these first two games.

    It's called defense and coaching... Look it up.

    The cavs won on 32% shooting- let that soak in for a bit.

    Are you just going to ignore the fact that they were a 67 win team with a historic point differential?

    JFC man.

    You could argue that if Durant comes back and gets the 8th seed...well...

    The Grizzlies beat the Warriors early, but in they end they don't have enough. This undermanned Cavs team can keep playing their heart out but just doesnt have enough firepower to keep up with the inevitable hot shooting streak that the Warriors have not yet had this series except for a couple of brief instances.

    The Cavs have played great defense, but you can't live only by defense in order to win a series vs a team who is good at both defense and offense.
