Mozgov and Bogut were smacking each other in the face like a couple of Keystone cops there.

Klay never touched Shumpert

yep, bad call...

One thing I noticed about Klay since the Houston series is he is too aggressive when he is in foul trouble. He should have just gave Shump the layup. No need to even swipe there

At first look I thought was a foul but he never should have put himself in the position even thought not one

They don't run any offense. It is a high P&R or iso for Lebron.

Pretty much. That's really all they've done since Love got hurt. At least when Irving was healthy, they could use that absolutely lethal Irving/Lebron PnR.

give you that. gotta see his value and the bigger picture there...

Maybe J.R. Smith has abandoned his love affair with the three ball now that he is driving to the hole.

I don't know what is worse, this team or the 2007 team.

Just don't see how they will generate any offense against a good defensive team.

The bigs provide no spacing, really don't have any shooting from your starting guards and we know lebron has't been able to hit anything for the entirety of the playoffs.

The warriors are just gonna guard LeBron 1 on 1 and make sure his shooters don't get involved.

GS looks like they are playing a pick up game. wouldn't shock me if this turns into a blow out.

That puts Lebron in quite a conundrum. I've never agreed with Chris Broussard, but he said that Lebron's legacy would be defined so long as he stayed with either Miami or Cleveland. If he's still ringless in Cleveland after next season, and Kyrie and Love (should he choose to stay there) are injury prone/unreliable, you have to wonder what he wants to do. By all accounts, the bridge to Miami is likely burned (although we thought the same with Cleveland). In Miami, Wade would be 34, going on 35 at the start of the 2017 season (and we're not sure if he stays in Miami. Bosh will be 33. I'm not sure Lebron wants to hitch his ride to Wade or Bosh at this juncture, and wants to stay with youth.

In 2017, based on our current top 4 players, I'd say Whiteside/Dragic 1 & 1A, then Bosh, then Wade.

Curry unreal shot

 

[Retroram52]

Bogut and Green are playing some serious D in the paint.

I can't see the cavs scoring more than 70 points tonight. Just don't know where any offense comes from.

People will get on LeBron for Isos, but what other options do they actually have?

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

The cavs can't do anything on offense

 

[Robotech]

Does anyone have more highlight-reel layups than Curry?

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

Cavs look turrible.

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like Barbosa has finally got his head in the Finals.

 

[Black Adam]

BOOM-shaka-laka...

nice one, Barbosa....

 

[purguy12]

This is going to be a cake walk for GS. Iman and JR look like they are back playing on the Knicks and LBJ well I don't know if he showed up yet.

 

[Retroram52]

The lead is 8 and the Cavs are struggling on O.

 

[Black Adam]

Cavs look turrible.

where's Barkley when ya need him...?
