  • We as browns fans need to be #AllinCLE for our cavs. This championship will go a long way for the morale of our city and all our teams.

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

  • It should be a very interesting series. I think GS has the edge but if LeBron can pull this off without Love and a hobbled Irving, well his legacy will be right up there with Jordan.

    With that said, I just don't see how the Cavs can pull it off. They are going to have to complete dominate the boards, have a very large edge in the turnover battle, LeBron is gonna need to re-find his shot, Curry needs to hit a slump, and Thompson needs to stay in his funk.

    I'd love to see Cleveland win but it's going to be incredibly tough.

  • OK, I guess I need to be educated on how Golden State is "so much more talented" than the Cavaliers. Let's look at the positions in terms of #1 guy, #2 guy etc.

    Cavs #1 guy vs. Warriors #1 guy: LeBron James vs. Dell Curry. As great as Curry is...his "star power" is matched up against the greatest overall player to ever play the game.

    Cavs #2 guy vs. Warriors #2 guy: Kyrie Irving vs. Klay Thompson. While both are quality players, does anyone think that Klay is better than Kyrie when both are fit? (and does anyone think that Kyrie may be playing a little possum with his injuries?)

    Cavs Center vs. Warriors Center. Mozgov vs. Bogut. I see this fairly much as a wash.

    Cavs #4 vs. Warriors #4: Tristan Thompson vs. Draymond Green. Both really good players....but does anyone think that TT really takes a major back seat to Green? I do not...at all

    Cavs #5 guy vs. Warriors #5 guy: Iman Shumpert vs. Harrison Barnes. Barnes has more publicity coming out of NC.....but is he truly that much better of a player than Shump? If so, his edge imo is very slight.

    Perhaps the Warriors do have the better/deeper bench:

    Dellevedova/JR Smith/James Jones/Sean Marion/Mike Miller vs.

    Iguadola/Shaun Livingston/Leandro Barbosa/Festus Izili/Mareese Speights/David Lee

    For this series that may help them

    (but note....imagine the differences if the Cavs had both Kevin Love and Anderson Varajao healthy)

    It sucks for Cleveland that these two guys are out

    In their places we have Kendrick Perkins and Brendan Haywood....who honestly, should have been more productive than they have been for such big men.

    heh heh. Had the same reaction.

  • Warriorssssss

    Come out to plaaaaaaaayyyy

  • Dell stef..,steph...whatever...christ he can shoot

  • uFFF! overtime? and i thought it'd be the booze that gave me a bleeding frickin ulcer....

    seriously though, what a great flippin game!!!! let's go cavs, pull this sucker out!

  • damn G. 😡

  • Kyrie even playing at the level he did makes this series very even-if he's hobbled bad it's over. It's very evenly matched at most positions, if JR smith gets his head out of his ass for game 2 I think they win.

    Oops. I didn't realize I did that. Dell, Stef's dad was a great shooter for the Cavs for a bit.

    Cavs need Delly to roll block someone.

    Ouch.....not good....not good at all.....

  • Very bad news about Kyrie. He will be missed big time, but this Cavs Team almost seems to thrive on adversity. We'll see how things turn out, but they will never quit.

    GO CAVS!
