As a matter of fact, yes. The Warriors have been giftwrapped a title. Every single one of their opponents has had key guys either playing hurt or out altogether. Not to mention the NBA has treated them like royalty all year which is why they get away with all the illegal screens and cheap plays. If they don't win this series, they'll never live this down. And BTW, this is their best shot at a championship. It only gets more difficult from this point forward as the salary cap eats away at their depth and they inevitably suffer at least some injuries since no team can stay this healthy 2 or 3 seasons in a row.
People don't complain about refs when there's nothing to complain about, and there wasn't much. This isn't a Cleveland forum, and the only place that is really going to give you much saying that it was pro Cleveland is Golden State forums, perhaps you'd like to go there?
Shumpert is at least making some plays on the defensive side of the ball. Offense has never been a strength for him.
I can't stand watching the Dubs play, a good 65% of their offense is reliant on illegal screens....and they whine every single time a foul is called against them no matter how blatantly obvious or even intentional it was.
what if the cavs eventually lose the series? who's the finals mvp then? who was the last finals mvp on a losing team?

that's rebounding. i havent read the box score, but i sense the worriors havent rebounded well. and that's why they werent able to speed up the pace to their liking.
I admit I didn't give Cleveland enough credit coming into this series. They are better than I thought. I'm starting to doubt GS now and Curry is no longer enough for GS. Curry is not playing at Lebron's level. GS looks like the Rockets when we played GS in our series. They are the ones playing from behind now. While I was leaning toward wanting GS to win it, I'm now leaning on wanting the Cavs to win it because what they have done till now is pretty incredible. I full well expect Lebron to take Cleveland to the promised land now. I guess GS could still bounce back but I am seriously doubting them now.
GS is much deeper so they have a chance since Lebron pretty much has to play 48 min for Cleveland to have a chance.
That's true, there's no excuse in the Warriors losing, they had this championship handed to them on a platter.....yet. If the Cavs win the next game, it's over and the Dubs have to be the laughing stock of the league for falling to a team missing 2 all star caliber players while they are at full strength.
lebron and co. have made this series much more intriguing than most of us had thought. at this point, i have no idea who will win the title this yr., nor do i really have preference. just want to see a wonderful series for the remainder of the games. the gsw are a deep team. so this night it could be curry, the other night it could be thompson; or this night it could be david lee, the other could be iggy. as "ordinary" as curry has been in this series, i expect him to bounce back at least somewhat. to me their bigger concern is green, who has been quietly under-performing. the cavs' concerns are mainly 2. one is whether or not lebron will be physically worn out, the other is whether they can maintain the defensive intensity for the remainder of the series. cant wait. thursday just cant come soon enough for me.
