I think Lou will discover a gamechanger this series much like having Draymond play the 5 completely changed the series last year. It was essentially Kerr throwing shit at a wall. Just stuck. Though I think that for us is Frye actually playing...

Because your bold enough to call out that Kerr got lucky as fuck with that desperate call, I give you the like symbol.

I feel like Lue will make better adjustments and the first game knock out will serve as a rude awakening for our bench to improve drastically. I feel a Cavs victory. But the Warriors and the refs are still an amazing team and together they will be hard to stop.

Cavs 112 - 108 Warriors

Just got a dozen donuts from Jack Frost, nearly everyone in line had Cavs gear on.

HAVE to win this game. Must win. Let's do it!!

SWEET. Foster and Brothers tonight. We better take advantage of this reffing opportunity.

Warriors fans freaking out, acting like they already lost. Is it really that bad?

I wanted to mention that Home court is where the Bench for any NBA team is typically where they play their best basketball.
Our guys should and can play a lot better. I wouldn't be surprised if one or two of our bench guys standout tonight

Cavs need to do the following tonight
Have Irving pass the ball after initial penetration and Use Irving off the ball .. I'm not sure why this wasn't part of the game 1 plan but Irving needs to pass the ball after he penetrates If there is no screen or a clear path.

finish their layups.. Cavs had too many easy layups that they didn't finish.

Rotations - Don't be married or locked in to any specific rotation. At the sae time don't be too quick to pull a guy because you don't like the looks the first couple possesions.

Let your shooters shoot.

Cavs seemed to be playing last years finals instead of the this years finals.. Not Going to Smith when he was open. Delly not mixing three point shot into his sets , yanking Channing too soon. Etc

It was really bad last year in terms of road-home splits, this year it’s not as advertent but still bad. Foster & Brothers have presided over more GS losses than any other reffing tandem I believe, so it’s a good sign for us.

inb4 the Warriors get the refs switched again

They'll probably change the assignment an hour or two before Tipoff if it really is in our favor.

Scott Foster is notoriously favorable to the road team. Last year, Monty McCutcheon (very home friendly) was supposed to ref game 6, and Foster game 5. The NBA switched around assignments, and Foster reffed game 6 last year, and Warrior fans were overjoyed because of it.

Kinda funny to see them flipping out this year.

But yeah, there is some statistical evidence pointing that this is somewhat good for the Cavs.

And if anyone feels like playing the conspiracy theorist, the NBA would very much like this series to go as many games as possible. They certainly don't want a sweep in the biggest rated Finals since Jordan

Just boarded a cruise and ready to disembark for 7 days. Saw a dozen cavs fans and all of them say Cavs in 6.

We can't all be stupid....right?
