I like how LeBron stopped and turned around in the tunnel, and gave his teammates low fives as they walked by...

Fan the point isn't to make a list of people to blame it's to estimate how hot the threads will be. Lues is going to be on fire

More like where we could improve next game. These are legit faults these guys need to improve on if we are to take this series

 

[Real Deal]

NBA Headline reads, WARRIORS RIP CAVS

 

[Kizzle]

KDs postgane interview "I'm only as good as my teammates. And that's why my bitch ass picked the greatest team of all time to go to"

 

[InBoobieWeTrust]

Yea the warriors intensity on D reminds me of Lebrons Heat teams. Just flying around and relentless on D

Yeah and getting away with murder the entire game without penalty as well.

That was the worst case scenario game. Honestly the defense wasn't awful minis communication. We gave them to many extra possessions and so many 2nd chances.

Suck it up and play harder. No one showed up.

 

[Hurl Bruce]

I still think if you yell "and one" and don't make the shot, it should be an automatic technical.

Pretty sure he yelled, "AND ONE...FUCK!" at the ref...it actually should have been a T.

 

[SK808]

Yeah and getting away with murder the entire game without penalty as well.

Right that also lol

 

[KilgoreTrout]

How you get out coached by Mr. Potato.

Lue is a poor man's Potato Head.

 

[TheProdigy]

Even tonight, I guarantee the half-court numbers don't even look that bad. We have literally gotten OBLITERATED in transition due to turnovers and OBLITERATED on second chance points. Absolutely MURDERED in those areas. They're shooting pretty poorly in the half-court.

Boobie have you forgotten that all year our fast break/transition, not half court has been the main problem with the defense? It is going to be like this all series most likely with this team

 

[Snarly]

I am shocked people are freaking out over this... I expected this in game one. Now the next two games will be the real sample. I still feel GSW and the NBA broke and fucked the league up though. Go Cavs but the impression I get is if this finals ends how we all hope it does not at worst case. I feel the NBA will lose a ton of fans I mean the Refs and this GS is pretty much a poison pill at this point. However Go Cavs shove a dick in everyones mouth and get this.

 

[MirORich]

We're not going to make all 4 or even 3 of the Warriors main guys look bad on offense. They're going to score and often look good doing it in every game.

So what I'm most interested to see in game two is:

-do we correct the TO margin?
-do we correct the defensive rebounding issue?
-can Kyle Korver be a factor?
-do we play Frye
-do we go back to our normal rotation where LeBron sits for the final two minutes of the first and then anchors the second unit, which gets those guys much more involved early on than when they're starting out with Kyrie?

 

[Zog]

But it's not about talent, it's about discipline and I'm not sure the Cavs as a whole can mirror the defensive discipline that the Spurs do (when at full strength).

Fair point, but in that case we need to instill somebody sort of defensive discipline in our guys.

 

[Gus Zing]

Durant 38 0 turnovers
LeBron 28 8 turnovers

Curry 28 10 assists
Kyrie 24 2 assists


Its time our guys get fricking pissed. Cause Curry and Durant have been catching shit from everybody the past year for choking away a 3-1 lead. The played angry. Our stars have to do the same.

 

[SmudgeHog]

Kevin love had 21 rebounds and 3 blocks to go with his 15 points... that's pretty good. I think he was the cavs best player tonight. Drew a ton of fouls, too.
