NBA Finals Game 4 | Warriors @ Cavaliers | June 11th, 2015 | 9:00pm EST

[Birdy89]

Curry+Thompson - 31 points
Mozgov - 28 points

I would have taken that in a heart beat before the game and taken my chances. Just wasn't meant to be tonight.

Mozgov's points was fools gold. That's what GS wants. They were okay as well with Marc and Zbo taking tough 2 pointers while they spread them out on offense and got easy 3s. We have something Memphis doesn't and that's the ability to play small and of course Lebron James. We can't get caught up in being stubborn by staying big otherwise this series is done in 6 in their favor. Play Delly/Shump/JJ/Bron/TT. With Lebron going into the post and TT crashing the glass, we can still control tempo. We can win this thing but Blatt will have to make the biggest coaching decisions of his life these next two games and i trust him to do that.

 

[epics]

Lebron didnt look right i suspect a concussion from hitting the camera

 

[KilgoreTrout]

plain and simple we didn't play well....shot like shit... you can't lose home court ...you just can't fuckin do it... this was probably our least inspired game all playoffs...really uncalled for IMO... was a sad effort by everyone but Moz...winning again in GS is going to be a fucking challenge... this game was huge and LBJ didn't lead IMO.. he never had that killer instinct... I know he is a lot on him but this team goes as he goes and he didn't bring it IMO

Not sure. We started fast. Then the Warriors got hot. We couldn't keep them down. They hit 3s, and we didn't. Their role-players came up big, and ours didn't. I don't really put this on LeBron. I put this on JR and Shump, who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Delly is who Delly is. He has played over his head, these last few games, but tonight, he came home to roost.

 

[jon connor]

Ive grown to love JR but man hes been a major disappointment in the finals and Shump to an extent. Theyve both been making some "Knicks" plays and tonight they couldnt buy a wide open jumper

This was Game 5 of the 2007 ALCS I'm afraid.

I can't accept tired when a title is this close. Very little fight. You can praise LeBron when we win, but have to criticize him when it's warranted. Too uninvolved early. Way too much floating on the perimeter. Get in the paint and do work. If we play well, you can find time to rest. You get down big in the first half, that goes out the window.

It's going to take the best effort we have had all season to win Sunday. Put ourselves deep into the corner.

 

[kookoo]

Fuck practise. The guys need to sleep for two days straight and have a gameplan set by Blatt.

 

[Rich]

Why not play more than 7 players when you can see at least two have no legs. How can you be so confident no one else nas nothing to contribute.

Because some of us have watched them all year. Mike Miller looked done in the damn preseason. I said as much. And he has done nothing over the course of the season to change my mind on that. He's D.O.N.E. All the way, fully cooked.

Joe Harris might be able to contribute in the future, but every time he played this season he was a turnstile on defense. He'd get roasted by any person he'd have to guard this series. Thompson, Iggy, Barbosa, Livingston..whoever.

 

[thunder_down_under]

First game in the series ( and possibly the playoffs) where we win the boards and still lose. First game this series GWS get over 100 points in regulation...they have either figured out how to get around our defense, or we were just too tired to compete. I am betting that the days off and tape time and we come back good for #5...we couldn't possible shoot that badly two games in a row...

 

[Posterchild]

Well, you have a 2nd round rookie, a contract, A dude whose playoff role is to foul Jae Crowder, and 2 banged up geriatrics

Just last year the Geritols still had game. All of a sudden they got nothing! Only in Cleveland.

 

[CommD]

Cavs shoot 4 of 27 on threes; 15%. if Cavs shoot 40%, its additional 20 points. The Warriors shot 40%. This is where the game was lost.

To say that its a now done deal. is short-sighted and defeatist. I hope the Warriors think its over like some on this board. These pros just need to make shots.

We will see.

 

[moviefan721]

This was the series. Cavs only shot was winning their last 2 home games. I expect a blowout on Sunday. So does Vegas as line is already -9 Golden State. And then GS will close it out in 6.

 

[vip3ron]

We'll be fine. Statisticlly, it would be impossible for Shump and Jr to shoot so bad. I mean, Mozgov was the only one that came to play tonight (Bron was exhausted, still 2 assists from triple double, but i expect that from him).
But our role players plus 4 points from the bench.. There's no way in hell we're winning GS with that.

Im still confident we're going to win, no way we'll shoot this bad again!

 

[CosmoKramer]

At least we won two games. Going to be a long 5 months.

I've called you out before for hating on Delly and TT but this is embarrassing. Are you really calling a 2-2 series over? Pathetic.

Michael Cena would call you a pussy. Even the French would laugh at you for giving up so easily. I hope everyone else isn't shriveling up like an Eskimo's penis at the first sign of adversity, because this isn't what real Cavs fans are made of.

No.
