I thought this to be true until game 2....GS not beating a short handed Cavs team AT HOME is concerning. One man beat them...one man.

Well, three actially. Mosgov was pretty good and Curry really helped the Cavs cause.

It happens every once in a while. You can't win them all

 

[Hambombs]

You might be right, but Bogut, Green, Curry and Barnes better start showing up. Otherwise, momentum will shift to the best player on the planet.

I will only worry if we are down 3-1

I know that, but it was the way Cavs beat GS...They shut them down with great D and LeBron, a one man show, won it....its just concerning.

I am ALL for GS to win this thing, please do, but I lost a lot of hope when they lost game 2 at home vs a depleted Cavs team.

It's really not sustainable IMO. I haven't lost much faith at all. This team has some dog in them

Best of luck.....But for whatever reason this series reminds me of the Bulls vs Cavs series..

Except warriors are much better offensively and are on the same level on defense or better

just an uneasy feeling knowing GS has now lost home court advantage..to them mentally that game 2 loss must have been depleting.

If golden state wins in game 3 it won't matter

True. I hope they do!

 

[Andresrenee]

For the GS fans out there, does Golden State ever consistently attack the basket? Is it that Mosgov is that dominate along with Thompson on D? Can't say I saw a ton of GS other than in the playoffs but they appear to be a jump shooting team that needs the 3s to win even thought they have a good defense. Just seems like the Cavs will attack the basket more and get easier shots.

 

[Hambombs]

True. I hope they do!

Miami must of felt great after taking game 2 in San Antonio last year... Oh wait lol

To me I don't think they have enough shooting. Need another shooter in the offseason. To many slashers. We are 2nd in points in the paint

They were thisclose to losing both home games to James Harden who has an even worse defense around him compared to LeBron with Steph playing great in both games. With Houston missing the better defending PG in Beverly and their second best offensive player in the regular season in DMo.

That was VERY concerning. But, I trust Kerr and co to make adjustments. This Cavs team barely won with Bogut, Green, Curry and Barnes playing like crap.

Not sure if srs

The officiating report for Game 2 is pretty lengthy

They referenced 41 calls in the last 2 min + OT, defending all of them except for 3:

Green's 2 jump-balls and Iggys hack on LeBron.

Fortunately for GS and us fans, they're a good road team. But, depleting? Not at all. A little scared? Absolutely. But, GS has had slow or bad starts in every series in this postseason. I chalk that up to youth, inexperience, etc and of course guys like AD, ZBo, Harden and LeBron giving this defense fits.

Oh, and the travel? Lol, good job NBA

If that happened to anyone but LeBron, nobody would give a shit

Actually, that's my bad... I missed it... but LeBron's travel was indicated as an incorrect call. So 4 total missed calls, in their opinion, not the 3.

And those two calls kind of cancel out... leaving the two jump balls.
