The Finals | Game 1 | Cavs @ Warriors | June 2nd, 2016 | 9:00pm EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I guess it's not all that bad. We had a lead late in the 3rd quarter and we had a chance to extend the lead. Playing this bad and still having an opportunity to come back from 14 down against the Warriors is a big thing.
 
I am completely mystified over many many decisions made in this game.
Why not use the bench you have. no frye or mozgov .
Jr smith wide open all game not getting kickbacks.
Its like Lebron , Love and Irving forgot they had teammates.
And why have delly get the ball wide open 4 possession in a row and he takes zero three pointers?
Lue didn't have any defense or counter lineup planned for Livingston or Iggy,

Hopefully they have a much better game plan for game 2.
 
More Frye, less turnovers.

Sounds like an Arby's order, but it's what we need for Game 2.

We need to play a faster pace. Slow down, iso ball isn't going to cut it.

IDK. I think the Cavs would've given up 130 if they did that, though. Need to defend at a higher level than they did tonight if you wanna do that. It's just a tough matchup for the Cavs, any way you slice it....

Never been to Cleveland before but with these many people with this kind of mentality, I'm picturing a city burning day and night and its residents with no balls and if they did it's got nothing in it except Nutella.

These guys aren't Clevelanders.
 
Warriors bench just made BBQ with ours

It's sad but we're gonna have to gameplan for Livingston more than Curry. This dude just can't go 8-10 again. No way the bball gods do that to us all series.....right?

The way the Warriors did us tonight we simply can't play Kyrie against their bench. They'll just find where he's at and post him up


We actually may have to give Jefferson and Dantay Jones run

LeBron just played the best defense on Curry in most likely Curry's entire career. His teammates and coach let him down.

And in all honesty, after Lue watches the tape I don't know what adjustments he can make. The game-plan was clearly to lock Steph and Klay down. It worked. But Golden State's bench filled that scoring vacuum.

So..?

So play them like OKC and switch things. Curry and Thompson will get theirs regardless. Get back to the 3 point shooting and pace and space offense which includes Frye. Lue gave this one away.

it's the same script over and over and over, regardless of team

team X makes run, warriors punch back, team X wilts

or team X leads all game, warriors make run, team X wilts

when you see the same thing over and over it's difficult (crazy) to expect different results

Tonight reminded me a lot of last year's Finals.

Golden State is always in control. It's either a close game, or GS is up big. CLE rarely builds large leads. Even when CLE goes on lopsided runs, it's only to make the game competitive again -- not to extend their own lead. It always feels like a futile, uphill battle.

Hopefully we see some nice adjustments in game 2. We need them!

Indeed, OKC got their shit pushed in by SA. We saw some thingst hat worked, and clearly things that absolutely didn't work. Lue needs to trust the guys that got him this far. I thought this wast he game to keep the rotations the same and adjust from there. Instead he changed it all up for whatever reason?

It's insecurity. How good would it be to have an experienced real NBA coach right now. And I don't mean Blatt.

Fuck all you fucking pussies who are calling this series over. You fucking cunts deserve the curse.

I for one still believe in this team. I for one believe that Lue will learn his lesson. I for one know that our team will shoot better and have more assists next game.

I still believe.

Sorry man, live in a dream world if you want.

This was the game for them to steal.

LeBron had awful TO's, Kyrie was 7/22 and we blew our opportunity.

We don't match up with this team at all and we absolutely choked away a game 1 steal.

We now have to beat them 4 out of 6 games when we have lost what? 5 in a row to them?

This team choked tonight. Top to bottom they were terrible.

This WAS a must win I dont care what anyone says. Just like last year's game 1 was a must win. The door was open but the Cavs didnt have the balls to walk through. Obviously their bench wont be THIS good again but Steph and Klay were horrible. This was the opportunity to steal one and might be the best opportunity on the road we get.
