That was one fucking ugly game, that thing was dirty and gritty and I kinda liked it.
This isn't going to be a post with me breaking down stats, because if it was I would be praising James and harping on some other guys, this post of mine is about hustle and will.
Cleveland showed exactly that, this was never at the pace of the Warriors and while it was downright horrible to watch for the purists out there, I saw our squad give a giant FUCK YOU to Golden State by never letting up and succumbing to pressure.
Everyone played hard and everyone played with a chip on their shoulder, we need that the rest of the way. While there was some guys I want to praise and some I want to strangle (Smith with the stupid fouls), I will give the whole team the benefit of the doubt with just how hard it was to get that win.
Does this define the season? I hope it does. I hope this hustle is on this squad until the season is over, whenever that may be.
On a side note, I usually give the officials the benefit of the doubt but there were some downright questionable plays in this game, I mean to the point that the league needs to look into it.
Now I am going to eat a super late dinner and watch all the postgame while I stuff my face.
