NBA Finals Game 5: Cavaliers @ Warriors June 14th, 8:00 EST

Blatt is getting out coached now. Sitting Moz the majority of the game like a crazy person then decides far too late to do hack a Iggy. Don't care what anyone says, the team is calling for more guys to play and you only play your starting C 9 minutes?

Blatt gets on my fucking nerves sitting Moz all the time.

Serious: Can you guys help me why Mozkov wasn't playing much tonight? Logically he's 7'1, had 28 & 10 the other game, showed the most competitive heart last game and he's 7'1, he's 7'1. I mean, surely it should counter the 6'8 midget centers of the other squad right? And doesn't higher percentage buckets - lay ups and dunks, pts. in paint give us an advantage?

Why on earth did he sit out?

 

[supermario21]

Did you not see Mozgov completely unable guard the PnR?

Get the fuck out.

Stephen A and Wilbon are calling Mozgov the 2nd best player on our team. Gotta facepalm.

Can everyone quit with the 'series is over' bullshit, the Warriors won't beat a LeBron James-led team three times in a row. We're winning Game 6 and sending this back to Oakland.

Lol, this warriors team is more than capable of winning 3 games in a row. All tho I agree the series isn't over, your reason for it not being over doesn't give me much confidence.

Not even angry at this game. Just sad that the NBA felt the need to affect this Cavs postseason with its approach to officiating. And it started in Boston.

Steve Kerr and the Warriors baited us.

They wanted us to take away Mozgov.....and they succeeded doing it.

Of all the Cleveland sports heartbreaks of the last 25 years this one hurts the most because we would have won the title if not for 2 fluke injuries.

Such a good game until Golden State went Golden State.

Forget all the talk of "curses". Forget all the blind faith.

I'm gonna be #ALLIN on pessimism for right now, but also #ALLIN on optimism for 2015-beyond.
I just don't think a team where LeBron does as much as he does without consistent scoring to support him, or at least someone else for the defense to key in on can pull off what's needed to beat the Warriors at this point.

The Warriors are abusing the moving screen. Tristan draws so many loose-ball fouls, some of which aren't called.
And though we did see some early PIPE, JR disappeared offensively because no one not named LeBron can make their own shot. LeBron even made some impossible ones tonight. What more can you ask of him besides casting a spell to bring Kevin Love and Kyrie back healthy for the last 2 games?

The good news is that I have a feeling that most of this team returns next season. I don't know how the Cavs afford it but it's happening. And a title is coming, as long as LeBron is here.

Cleveland and the Cavs are not cursed. I'm gonna ignore all the memes and the partying for now. Cavs were supposed to be swept. They weren't.

PS - eff the refs. Call a freakin' moving screen. Hell, call some FOULS on LeBron sometime.

No we didn't.

I thought it was obvious so maybe im wrong lets see what the stats say.
Shooting percentage 29% to 48%
Rebounds 37 to 42.
Free throw made 15-20
Assist 17 to 25

The only category cavs won was turnovers 10 to 16 and even that team to was 14 to 17.

Cavs got beat. now they need to bounce back and take game 6.

I know they are'nt going to call a rigged series and let them WIN a championship on OUR floor?

Pick and Roll defense.

You GTFO! You don't completely go away from a guy who got you 28 points last game just because the first 5 minutes of the 1ST didn't go well. That kinda stuff causes guys to stop fighting for you. So again you GTFO!

 

[brownindian]

You can't have him and Love.

Dont tell me that tonight !!!! Give me the reality check tomorrow man !!! I am trying hard not to cry !!

 

[Flight479]

I'm tired of these Blatt apologists. He's not exempt from criticism.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

I wonder why the league decided that the WARRIORS were the team that needed help...
