NBA Finals Game 4: Warriors @ Cavs, June 10, 2016, 9:00 PM EST

[FritzLn]

We have Kyrie, JR, Frye, KL, Delly. We should be able to shoot threes

absoluetly. i'll never understand it. fuck all the stats, at this point i'm chalking it up to a curse

4 from barnes. 2 from iggy. they're clutch rating has to be absurd

and then curry and klay make them from halfcourt

at this point the only cavs 3pt percentages that matter are against the warriors and those numbers say this team can't shoot

 

[Gus Zing]

We need to try something new in game 5. Then feed off the energy of the Q in six. And finally get to a game 7

Its simple as this.

LeBron OWES us a game. He needs to figure out a way to drop 40+.

Then hope the Q/role players can carry us in game 6. Then pray we can win game 7.

Sadly we don't get the calls. We're not making 3s consistently. We have no bench (outside of Love who is really a starter).

Warriors are indeed a 73 win team thats only lost a couple times at home this year and we'd need to beat them twice.


Sidenote: Cavs fans. When next year arrives. DO NOT say you want the tough road to a championship. I can't believe the people who got upset at fans who were upset the Thunder blew that series.

You only get two days rest if there is travel. Same city, one day between games.

Except 2 days off this year between Game 1 and Game 2. Unclear why between Game 1 and 2 but not Game 3 and 4, but the schedule was announced long in advance.

Things are going downhill for the Warriors too. I think they won't be a force anymore in the next season. Just shitty plays, much love from the refs and fucking lucky shots. That's not a long lasting recipe. Basketball was all about passion, love of the game, hard fought games but you had respect for your opponent. Nowadays just a bunch of cocky motherfuckers playing a game dictated by the refs. What a joke! If Lance Stephenson blows in the ear of an Warriors player he would get called for a flagrant 2

 

[Mr. Orange]

I absolutely think we can win game 5. I always thought that was the road game we would get.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

The NBA clearly didn't wanna take Green out of these playoffs


They clearly wanted to establish that GS was allowed to set the tone of physical play in every series. There was no set standard. It was how much do we let GS get away with before we start calling fouls for the other team.
Iv never seen this level of favoritism


I honestly don't want to watch the NBA next year


I definitely may find something better to do with my time

I am so disgusted.

I really feel the pain for you Clevelanders, but you have to realize there is no shortcuts in building a winning team and franchise. It has to start from the front office, and trickle down to the last player...
This team can't be runned by LBJ as great as he is. He insisted on the Love trade, He is responsible for the outragous TT contract, He eliminated a good coach and so on...
When you don't do things the right way, you can have all the the talent in the world (which the Cavs do have, in my opinion we are the most talented team in the world) but you still won't win...

Pardon my French... but why the fuck is this piece of shit still around?

Yeah, he better drop 40 because apparently Curry might drop 40 too. That just can't happen. He went from 19 to 38 points between games. If someone told you Curry went off for 38, would you think we won?

 

[I'mWithDan]

Just one of those games where every bad call and every bad bounce just seemed to go against us.

The guys gave effort..... Kyrie was absolutely gassed. He had nothing left in the last few minutes. LeBron wasn't great but there was just no third and fourth guy tonight. Golden state got great contributions from their role players again and the Cavs didn't.

The only thing I just didn't understand about this game was Frye playing down the stretch. He has given the team absolutely nothing. Can't rebound, can't defend and can't get open. He was just a warm body out there.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

JR and KL go into shells, and Frye and Delly never see the court. Kyrie's good when he's hot, though. That's that.

Curry got about 6 of those when the game was clearly over. Just like LeBron was stat padding at the end.

Kyrie did his job and got 34. LeBron needed to score 30+. JR and Love needed to combine for at least 30.

Sadly LeBron and Richard Jefferson just looked like guys who only had a day off in between games.

 

[Flight479]

I didn't see why it went from 96-89 to 99-89. They showed the replay. Wtf was Frye doing forgetting Curry on that 3? Too many lapses this game. Just too many.

 

[Gus Zing]

LeBron historically usually gets a road game win the last 7 years...

He'll be fresher, but f*ck the Warriors will try to bury us and win the championship on their hc.

Its going to take an amazing effort to win game 5.

Curry can't get anywhere close to 30 if Klay gets 20+ too. One of them has to be held in check. Their backcourt went off. Kyrie and JR had a lot of lapses. They were tired but we have to keep them under 25 as much as possible. If not then you're right. Both Ky and LeBron will have to combine for about 60+.

This is true. I didn't check but as long as we have 2 days of rest, history shows LeBron gets at least 1 road victory. Get this one and get back to the Q.
