NBA Finals Game 5: Cavaliers @ Warriors June 14th, 8:00 EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Such a shame we couldnt see Kyrie put Curry on skates.

Welp I truly dont know how we're going to win game 6. Only because the refs refuse to give LeBron the calls. I'm not even talking superstar calls either. Also our role players peaked against Atlanta.

Now for some optimism.

If we can somehow find a way to win game 6. I still like our chances in a game 7. We'd get 2 days of rest again. We were right there with them until things bottomed out. The Warriors would face unbelievable pressure. LeBron is one of if not the greatest game 7 player ever. Look up the stats.

The key is how do we get there? How do we force a game 7? We have to have the best defensive game of the season and for LeBron/insert another player to combine for 70+.

If we can just get this to a game 7......:bigcry:

Trying to search for some optimism right now, but this is not the answer. Lebron had a future hall of famer, an all star pf, and game 7 at home. I still believe they can do it, but it's going to take a monumental effort by all guys not named Lebron. Only way we can come back to win this series.

FWIW, Bosh scored just 10 points in those two games.

Our issue is defense right now.

That hat is on point doe
 
The refs just try and get it to 6. Donaghy had said multiple times that's the main objective. Any thing else is a plus.

No. Our issue is missing 3 all-stars. Bosh is an all star who played. If you are an all star who actually plays and is healthy, the other team has to account for that all star the entire game. GS has all stars. None were injured. All played. All have to be accounted for. Cavs have all stars. Only 1 played. Only one has to be accounted for. I can't fault our defense in these finals. We've been great. Our offense is what is taking the big time hit missing THREE all stars. And yes, Andy is an all star.
 
Mozgov didn't play because Kerr decided to double him, and because he can't defend against small lineup.

If LeBron puts up another game like tonight and this goes 7, it is a travesty if he doesn't win MVP in a losing effort.

Through 5 games:

37 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists......2 triple doubles.

If he doesn't get MVP, they might as well throw the trophy away.

I dunno. From espn:

"Elias notes that Curry is one of five players to score 17 points in the fourth quarter of an NBA Finals game in the past 40 years. The others are Shaquille O’Neal (2000 Lakers), Dwyane Wade (2006 Heat), Russell Westbrook (2012 Thunder) and Kevin Durant (2012 Thunder)"

They are describing game 5 as an epic display by Curry in the 4th qtr when he "took over" the game and outdueled Lebron.

From espn's perspective, game 5 solidified Curry's MVP selection. Ugh
