Cleveland vs. "Golden State"
-
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.
-
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.

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!

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!!!
-
Delly did a great job of guarding Curry then it seemed like Coach Blatt moved him off of him. No clue as to why.
-
i agree. Delly can't do anything to klay cause he just shoots over the top of him, but Curry he seems to be able to shift laterally with. Not sure either why he got put on Thompson for as long as he did when he couldn't stop him at all.

We can complain about the NBA refs all we want, and yes it was some bad calls and no calls late in the game. But do remember, we had 11 point lead with just a little over 3 minutes in the game. And in a matter of about 30 seconds it was down to 5 by some smart playing and coaching by GS. Then for some reason, we go into panic mode and the team, goes into instant dumbass mode. Lebron starts to manage the game and clock by hanging out at the top of the three point line, looking for a lane to drive. He gets to about the foul line draws a double team, travels, and throws up a brick. Last night was one of the first times he decided to dish out to an open man. I'm sick of the lack of ball movement and team involvement from LBJ. How many times did we get down to the last second on the shot clock and had to throw up prayers? LBJ, can only do so much, and if we want to win, which we can, he needs to get these players involved more and move the ball around trying to create space and easier, higher percentage shots.
And why the hell was Mozgov not in during the 4th quarter... or did he use up all of his travel miles in the first 3? -

That is the million dollar question. I was thinking the same thing because he was owning them in the first half.

i think blatt kinda answered the mozgov question after the game stating they play multiple line-ups and the one they had in at the end is a winning line-up. i'm thinking they want shooters in just because of the big swing GS can make with hitting long range bombs and cleveland has to match.

My next question to Blatt's logic is, the only person shooting the ball at the end is Lebron, unless he has to dump the ball to someone else, which, doesn't happen all the time. I would think if you keep the big man down there he is going to help suck defenses back in. Then if Lebron gets doubled team, which he will, he can throw up the brick and Mozgov can hopefully come up with the offensive rebound or put back. I'm a fan of a strong center and the post up game, when you have one. It's not that Mozgov is brilliant, but he is strong and strong on the boards and tough to defend.
