NBA Finals Game 5: Cavs @ Warriors, June 13, 2016, 9:00 PM EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Will be interesting to see what's up with Bogut's knee/leg. GSW might be forced to go to the death lineup, which IMO plays into the Cavs hands. It forces them to put a smaller defender on TT and it means the two best defenders on LeBron have to play extended minutes together and can't split duties.
 
Not to hate on Love, but he can't keep under performing if we want to win the series. Unless Kyrie and LeBron can continue to average 80+ a game. But everyone needs to step up offensively, not just Love.
 
Kyrie and LeBron don't have to do THIS in game 6 IF the team can defend the way they defended the second half.

People looking at box scores seeing them as the only guys scoring...but they were the only guys shooting. And that's how it should have been with they way they were cooking. Don't just look and say "no one else helped." No one else had a chance to help and no one else should have had a chance to help.

This wasn't a game where no one was doing anything early and those two just took over late to try and save the team. They were cooking from the very start of the game and just kept going. So everyone else just got the hell out of the way. Smart.
 
In series where a team goes down 3-1it almost literally always ends in 6.



This wasn't the game that changes history. Winning game 6 in our house is that one that would defy 80 years of playoff basketball

Good thing for us is that before the format change that game 6 would've been in GS house. We'll have our crowd for this game
your orgetting something. for the last 29 years the playoff format has been 2-3-3 .

This is a different format and it makes a difference.

The difficult part will be beating GS a second time at home in a game 7 but the Cavs should be favorites at home. its just a matter of whether they do it or not.
 
And just to be the lone voice of support for Love, does anyone else feel that bad about having him guard either Barnes or Iguodala when they go small? Because he's honestly looked pretty ok at doing it so far.
 
We won an impossible game and the post game panel just keeps kissing GS's ass and say how they missed Green. Not one good word for the Cavs.

I agree he can be effective against Iggy somehow and I would never have thought it. Love can handle guys like those and that is good to see. Just imagine and hope Love becomes a player again and all three click from here on out. Oh man and having Bogut out makes life so much more easy for Kyrie and LeBron. However that means withstand the "death lineup" and take it from there.
