JR as a number 2 option good luck.

I think you're underselling the Cavs defense a bit. Their rotations have been great and they're funneling everything to the middle of the floor. And they've done a great job on Curry. Thompson has been great, but I think Blatt will live with that.

???

They're playing great, physical defense and killing the Warriors on the boards.

I'm willing to bet that, over the course of the series, the Warriors offense will look better than this.

I also think that, while the Cavs offense may look better than what we're seeing tonight (and the Warriors are largely playing great defense), I think this is closer to what we'll see from them than what we'll see from the Warriors going forward.

Also, let us not forget that the Grizzlies looked awesome in Games 2 and 3, and it was all for naught.

Maybe I misinterpreted what you meant by "mucking it up", but I think Cleveland is playing great fundamental defense, it's not like they're playing in a tacky way.

Come on just make the call how long does it take to look it up on the monitor.

Cavs are going to take one in GS without Love or Irving, with no bench, and only LeBron. Pretty unbelievable.

Cavs defense is playing at a high level; reeks a little of the sort of adrenaline fueled win that is unlikely to be repeated.

The flip side is that nobody on GSW has ever been in this position before.

That would be unbelievable, but this isn't over yet, way too much time left. Gotta keep feeding the monster that is Lebron.

With JR Smith any thing is possible.

 

[superjohn]

JR Smith doing JR Smith things.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

JR for three at the buzzer. Has to be.

 

[tzznandrew]

And I spoke too soon, and once again prove myself an idiot.

But James, man, there was some contact there, but you gotta make that. You need to.

I tell people the mojo gods are real, I'm convinced of it lol.

 

[Mots010]

For all the talk of Lebron getting all the calls, he got fouled about three times on that drive.

 

[johnhuskies95]

Am I wrong or has Mosgov not played in at least 15 minutes of game time? Don't think he's played this quarter.

 

[tzznandrew]

The Cavs played perfect defense for 45 minutes and had an 11 point lead. JR Smith does JR Smith stuff, and they let up just a little...OT.

Unreal.

 

[James]

great look by lebron, ton of contact imo. also no clue where mozgov is.

 

[Tommyboy]

tbh with the calls he was getting that's ridiculous there was no call there v

 

[TasteofUConn]

The NBA needs to seriously review how it officiates games. There were about 10 head scratchers, both ways, for the first four quarters. The last possession? What are they looking at? That would have been offensive holding in the NFL.

 

[Kitaman]

Weird watching LeBron for 4 quarters and not see him dunk.

 

[Tommyboy]

Nba refs are terrible.

 

[TasteofUConn]

Can it get any worse for the referees? I'm being serious. Mozgov had a travel where he took about 5 extra baby steps, and completely re-positioned his body. People in the worst seat in the house saw it. Green just tomahawked LBJ at the bicep. What is the code? I'm missing it.

 

[Gurleyman]

Nba refs are ing terrible.

He walked all over the place first. So it's a wash.

 

[joober jones]

They're doing everything they can to give this game to Golden State.

 

[Tommyboy]

Yeah but they let walks go all over the place. AI came down with a chop on both his arms.
