but seriously, folks...

Home crowd and sleeping in your own bed for the past two days should give the home team the advantage in not "running out of gas". I know you understand this concept.

Stop it. If a series goes 7 games that means BOTH teams have traveled multiple times during that series - otherwise we're not talking about game 7.

Having said that, you do understand the concept of traveling & how that can effect one's ability to physically play a sport on a professional level, yes?

Now let's add the context of the series prior to that one when GS ALSO played 7 games in the WCF against OKC. Yes, they were tired. Don't know what the Cavs' reason was for being tired if we use your theory, but watching the last 5 minutes of that game we know they were. SMH

Clarkson playing makes no sense

I hear what you're saying, but honestly has Hood been that much better...?

 

[Wamu]

Over/under 9.5 three's for JR tomorrow?

 

[Black Adam]

at home...?

take the over...ESPECIALLY since he's still trying to make up for game 1...

No but he deserves another chance. Why play Clarkson who doesn't bring anything to the table. Give those minutes to Hood or even Calderon

I'd be willing to play Calderon at this point. He's a veteran compared to the two young guys. See what he can give you. Not like anything else is working.

Cleveland found out what Magic and Pelinka have known all along about Clarkson and Nance Jr. Unfortunately, Cleveland lost a first rounder for those two.

watched this again to make sure it was still a classic...


...yep...

#25 ain't the greatest pick, but it beats the NO 1st rounder we had before...

thank you, Cleveland...

footnote: I think Nance Jr. will be a decent player coming off the bench when all's said and done. Clarkson, not so much...

Rodney Hood gets his wish

Think the Cavs win tomorrow night. The Warriors probably win the series but I think the Cavs do enough to win tomorrow night.

 

[CitySushi]

Cavs should just go to a pure 8 man rotation and move George Hill to the bench. He's much better on the second unit when the Warriors give a breather to either Klay or Steph.

Starters:
Lebron
JR
Hood
Green
Love

Bench:
Hill
Nance
Tristan

Tristan should be moved to the bench to allow for an additional shooter on the floor. With the Warriors playing Javale, they could space the floor better and allow for a faster start. They'll need to try to go wire to wire with the lead. Also this gives a good size advantage on Curry too and allow them to attack him in the mid range.

Hood and Green make their way into the starting lineup to help on their switching defense. Right now they're getting killed because they don't have the horses to match up. Doing this would help alleviate some of that by putting two players better equipped to switching.

Pretty sure I suggested that a couple weeks ago, and got shit on for saying it.

guess they read BKS's mind...

It's either tomorrow or game 4 for sure

 

[gordontrue]

Agree. I think the Cavs win game 3. Get a little confidence from that, fight like hell in game 4, but lose a close one.

Then, I think game 5 will be ugly.

Game 5 will be ugly because the Cavs will destroy them on their way to another 3-1 comeback?? That's what you meant, right?
