<![CDATA[Cleveland vs. "Golden State"]]>Here is the postseason history between teams from Cleveland and teams from "Golden State"....which I interpret to mean the entire Bay area. Its very limited:

1949 Cleveland Browns defeat San Francisco 49ers in the AAFC Championship game.

1980 Cleveland Browns lose to Oakland Raiders in AFC division game....aka the "Red Right 88" game.

Notes:

A. The game wherein the Browns played the Raiders in 1982 was against the "Los Angeles Raiders" not the Oakland Raiders.

B. The Indians have never played the Oakland As (nor the KC As or Philadelphia As before that) in postseason play.

They did play "The Giants" in the 1954 World Series...but that was when they were still in New York.

C. Since the Cavs existed the Warriors have been in the Bay area....and the only way they could have played in postseason is in the NBA Finals, and of course that has never happened.

D. Warriors were in Philadelphia from 1947 to 1962 when they moved to San Francisco area. They were the very first NBA Champions in 1947 in Philly. They also won another title there in 1956. They won the 1975 Championship as the Golden State Warriors.

E. Interestingly.....the only franchises still in existance from that inaugural 1947 season are The Warriors and the Knicks. (and the Knicks are the only team still in the same city). The Boston Celtics did not join the NBA until the 1948 season.

Don't want to start another brawl but Golden State can play solid defense as well. Officiating in the NBA can be spotty but Lebron is very difficult to referee and Tristan Thompson plays extremely physical.

Refs spotty. Tell that to GS Fans and all Media in Game 2. Hope the Refs just get it right in game 5 but that's crazy hoping at best..

Not to mention that the good, jumped-vertically blocks Mos made Tues were fouls today. Consistency... what a concept.

We started out great, but tired very quickly and GS simply ran us into the ground in game 4.

Keep this stuff up and Joie Crawford will Call You and tell You to Shut Up Also 😉. Crawford is a Big Star in the NBA and sure to be a member of this Flugel Board. Their always Right and both love old era 😉!!

He is the key. Start hitting those shots and the Cavs have a chance. But hitting 3's is hard if legs are not there. They all need these next two days of rest.

Worked our ass off 3 games and their legs finally showed it. Found the Moz Game but JR and Shump must raise their game. Delly & LBJ cannot do this alone anymore and did not like any of D. Blatt adjustments. Rest & Go Cavs!!

the basket, and rely on a bald, mafia stooge ref to refuse to call the foul.

Then call the Cavs for the slightest of infractions on defense.

Great. Another reminder that some pro basketball refs are corrupt.

And, the Cavs were tired and weren't hitting their shots. Too bad, but I figured

the Warriors were going all out to get a win, and NBA wants the serious to

go to seven.

A lot more money.

I was wondering about 3-1. It's nice to have history on your side, but there's always a first time. In baseball, no team had ever come back from 0-3 down- until the Rex Sox beat the Yankees. Just sayin'.

But the fucking Indians lost to the fucking Red Sox after they were fucking ahead by a fucking 3-1 game fucking margin.

And, correct me if I am wrong....didn't the Warriors come back just this year on the Grizzlies after being down 2-1....and the Rockets came back from being down 3-1 against the Clippers, no.

So these sorts of comebacks have happened quite recently.

Restraint? No. We as fans need to do our part to demoralize the warriors and break down this myth of their superiority.

C`mon hoorta let`s get behind them. Sure they`re hurt and exhausted which would only make a championship won that way even sweeter.

I`m all in for Cleveland no matter what it is, i.e. ice fishing, bullet dodging or even wife swappin. Just get us a banner already!

It ain't over until the Fat Lady sings. Warriors almost erased a 20 point deficit on the road. They'll be in desperation mode Thursday. Can't wait to see the stats of how many Finals teams have dug out of a 3-1 hole. (Damn few, I'm guessing)

i know cleve hasn't won a championship since what, '64? BUT i hope the cavs don't think know that they've won it like the fans did last night. i know people are starved for some positivity there with their sports teams but a LITTLE restraint would have been nice instead of acting like they just won the whole thing last night. the presence of ESPN and live tv cameras in a small area like '4th st.' made me cringe as if i was a biz owner staring down a tsunami.

people need to get it under control.

I've never understood the mentality of acting like a total idiot just to get some face time on ESPN.

Yup- it isn't over till the Fat Lady sings- and this series is far from over. Expect maximum effort from the Warriors on Thursday night.

First, finals, home victory ever... Damn that's a long-ass road...

Couple things...

  • I did not know that E. 4th was downtown, party central.
  • While I'll take an ugly win over a pretty loss, the last two games have been fugly.
  • I love seeing Mos get rewarded with no-calls for blocks when he jumps straight up.

4th Street isn't all that far from the Q. It is a neat place to party if you ever make it into town.

loved the reverse racism of all the black announcers/talking heads today of how steph curry "is not going to let some kid (white) from australia and st. marys check him and hold him down...because he is the MVP and had one bad game."

yeah alright.

Its not reverse racism....it is just racism.
