Warriors now at -600. I'm thinking this is the perfect time to throw some money on the Cavs :D

Any Bulls, Spurs, Thunder, or Pacers fans that want to step in and give some friendly advice to our Warriors fans about getting cocky after taking Game 1 from LeBron?

Watch out for your knees, Delly is coming in. And as of right now, the Cavs are 0-5 in the finals.

so with this knee, how exactly was the cap broken? Did it get hit, or fall? Is it connected to his knee issues? He had an MRI last week when he visited the famous doctors, didnt he?

I'm just curious, I'm sure they'll put out more details, if they havent already

edit: I saw it last night, but that didnt necessarily show that it happened on that play

I went to dinner and was listening to the local CBS affiliate and they had a physician on. He basically compared how his knee was to a small crack in your windshield. No big deal at first but with more wear, it eventually turns into a big problem. Basically, a big rock hit Kyrie's windshield last night.

Did you watch the game?? The Cavs gave this one to GS. You do actually realize that they were literally about an inch away on Shumpert's last second shot from winning, right?? I give credit to GS for their resilience, and in the end it won them the game, but you're a fool if you think they weren't very lucky to be in that situation in OT to even get to that point.

Luck? It was also lucky when Lebron missed his shot in regulation and the Cavs going scoreless in OT.

is this the same knee he's had problems with? Wonder if he got it cracked earlier, and it just got worse last night

Yeah, he did have a small crack in it earlier but it wasn't a big deal until now. He needs an offseason about as bad as any player in the league.

That's crazy that Irving is done for the series but the Cav's might still be able to pull it off if Lebron drops the patented Melo ISO-Ball and passes the rock just a little bit more to get the other guys involved, Or did he forget this is what happened in the first game with the Bulls.......?

What's up fellas...... I'm back like a bad rash...!!!

Ball probably needs to move more. But I think the warriors strategy defensively is let LeBron get his, guard him one on one, wait til he tires out and then take advantage. They know none of the other guys can create off the dribble or really do anything but knock down 3's.

Who else on this team is capable of CONSISTENTLY creating offense?

If JR Smith stops with his fascination with the 3 ball he actually has a good handle and can drive to the hoop and dish - In fact so can Shumpert but just like when there were in NY unfortunately they continue to defer to the Alpha Dog.....

Once in a while yes, but neither can do it consistently/frequently enough to take much pressure off LeBron. Especially against a great defensive team like the warriors.

So Bosh is all good now with his issues? I don't recall reading anything about him. I just assumed they got everything sorted out.

the people that questioned Kyrie's injury and heart are looking pretty stupid now- that is for sure.

of course they are healthy- they havent played in weeks. They could probably get some work doing an advertisement for the lottery....do they Mega Millions in Florida?

I never questioned Kyrie's injury. I always thought Lebron was milking his minor injuries, and he looks fine to me.
