You're probably right, but at the same time judging from what he said at the presser he seems to be coming to terms with it and saying "It is what it is". just gotta power on through.

At the same time he also has to realize that if he actually pulls this shit off he will something absolutely unprecedented on his resumé. I mean, has any player ever won a championship series without another all-star on their team? Wilt maybe?
 
LeBron knows Cleveland is the 6th man and that the Warriors feed off the crowd.

Golden State is a team that really plays less effectively on the road.

Now is the time to capitalize. We've now got home court advantage. Let's make them feel it.

I'm excited but pissed off at the same time. How Blatt never goes back to Mozgov who is in the middle of a great game and how JR Smith can be so fucking ignorant boggles the mind.

I was going hoarse yelling at them to put Moz back in while GS was making their run. You needed someone to relieve the pressure on James and Draymond Green hasn't been able to hit the side of a barn from 3 point line this series.

Nah - Wilt was surrounded by all-stars in both '67 and '72.

That said, ending the NE Ohio title drought, especially against a 67-15 team, would be one of the greatest achievements in the history of professional sports, and it should be recognized as such. I fear it will not be.

Don't know if mentioned, but did anyone see the Curry presser? This boy TWICE stated the Warriors are going to win the series. He stated this 2 different times in the presser. Notice that no one from the Cavs ever says this. We play one at a time. I think the Warriors just assume they got this. I hope they keep thinking that way.

Before they know it will be 3-1 Cavs. They think they can just turn it on.
 
I can not get passed and no one will bring this up from the national media. That the NBA darlings and the offensive powerhouse had to use hack a player with out our two all stars
 
That rocked. Watching on a plane and the final 4 minutes on gamecast? Not so much.
 
the curse may have just ended. I have to make a edit but that was Spurs Level Defense.... Just one of the most spectacular, team defenses I have ever scene to be honest............ Were 1-1 and back home...... we got them doubting.......

Soooo we just won with JR Smith basically playing for the Warriors tonight....

In all seriousness, the Cavs have another level in them and we haven't seen it yet this series. JR and Shump haven't been great but they'll contribute eventually and win us a game.

Man, TT is such a conundrum. He's absolutely LOST offensively this series, yet we need his perimeter defense on switches. The 'hack-a-TT' stuff might make him unplayable late in games but I do like our offense much better with the hybrid lineup with the small-ball 4 (Jones) and Mozzy at the 5. That's something to watch going forward. TT is also a -27 this series.

I don't think the contributions the Cavs have gotten from LeBron, Jones, Mozgov and Delly have been unsustainable. Nobody is making circus shots or getting irrationally hot (like JR). Everyone is getting theirs within the flow of the offense (when we HAVE an offensive flow). Attack-mode floater Delly is the best Delly.

Though everyone is saying Curry won't shoot like this again, and they're probably right, he's still going to have to work for his shots-- shit, he needed to work to even GET the ball to bring it up the court tonight. Plus, Klay is just as streaky-- good and bad. Tough defense has shown it can disrupt Golden State and based on their comments after the game, I'm not sure they respect the Cavs defense yet. I like the Cavs using Delly on screens to force Curry to get involved in the shit defensively. He doesn't have a body that can withstand a ton of contact.

For the do-no-wrong Warriors, they're fucking dirty-- illegal screens, holding, grabbing, shoving... you name it. Iguodala, Green and Bogut can all fuck off. Stephen A. says the Cavs won't be able to get away with playing this physical all series long with the refs. Are we watching the same game? Are you fucking high? I hate that guy.
 
One to feel good about. Who has been better? We have really dominated even when getting sorry calls and missing free throws.

Guessing tt gets some calls at home. They are holding him and he is still getting 12 rebs.
