  • 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.

    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.

    You lost me at Dell Curry

    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.

  • Fractured kneecap. Ouch.

    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!

  • If GS wants to pass up dunks for 3's you can Crown them if you want too and we had them and let them off the Hook. But with LBJ this team will not lay down for Nobody period Go Cavs this split ain't over IMO..

  • Well the only way I can help them now is to call S.F. the winner, so S.F. in 5.

  • So we can talk SuperBasket or (basketball) in a Football or (Futbul) terms on this Site.. Damn We got Talent 😛

  • Smith and Shepard worthless down the stretch and refs would not know a foul if it bit them in the ass.

    And the King willed it into being at the end!

  • And now time for all the analysts and talking heads to change their tunes. Can`t wait to see them all start questioning their pick of golden state.

  • I was stunned by that game. I saw things happen in this game tonight that me, not even being a big time basketball fan and never reffed even a pickup game between 3 year olds, could have called these fouls. Since when can you put your hands on the other guys shoulder in a jump ball? Since when can you hack both forearms of a guy as he's going up to shoot? These weren't "missed" calls. Lebrons drive at the end of the game where he drove to his left, the guy guarding him reached his right arm in and fondled Lebrons chest then smoothly and tenderly transitioned to his upper thigh. Since when can you do such obvious fouls? Every game has missed calls that's just the bricks. But the missed calls in this game were stunning. I've never seen such a parade of missed calls in any game I've ever watched in any sport. There's certainly been single incidences of a missed call that equaled what I saw tonight, but the compendium of ludicrously missed calls tonight was utterly without comparison in my experience.

  • I don't really follow pro basketball for that reason. The apparently deliberate no calls

    and calls that make no sense at all, by certain referrees... it makes me want to never

    watch it again.

    Michael Jordan, back in the day, used to take 3 and 4 steps to the basket - no call.

    And if he did miss a shot? He still got a foul, even though nobody touched him.

    And "reaching in" ??? A Cav gets strongly bumped off his feet tonight, they reach in and steal the ball...

    no call.

    But later, a Warrior gets an easy foul with some Cav trying to reach in and swat the ball away.

    And James was getting hammered again and again - no call.

    Hell if I know. I only watch the stupid, inconsistently called games because they are in the playoffs.

  • My recording cut out at the start of overtime, devastating scenes!

    Still, was delighted to see they got over the line, hope downtown Cleveland was celebrating!

  • And now time for all the analysts and talking heads to change their tunes. Can`t wait to see them all start questioning their pick of golden state.

    Ta Da This ^^^^ Steven Smith, Did you even see the late left hand block by Kyrie on your man Curry. Yea we played him to long to cause injury and we are (NOT) Done. Rant on Smith. We got to the Finals the same way with mostly no Kyrie and the other parts are kicking ass even in GS. THE REFS-- They suck both ways and usually lean Homer side to keep it close, with always a chance to win. We shall see at the Q. Go Cavs!!!
