I watch the cavs and I wonder how the hell the rockets can't play team defense like this

Super sloppy game but obviously exactly what the Cavs want

Is shawn marion just totally washed up or is he in the doghouse in cleveland? I find it hard to believe that he can't contribute at all.

Refs letting them play, which is a huge win for Cleveland. I really think the Warriors are doubting themselves now.

Marion is way done.

I think Golden State is the much better team but they are really flustered right now to the point that I'm starting to think Cleveland has a good chance to win this series.

None of those guys on the Warriors have ever won a Championship and they've coasted to The Finals for the most part. Lebron and several other Cavs role players have been to the top of the mountain and just look like they know the extra effort that it takes to win it all.

It's an interesting series and I didn't think it would be.

Question now.. If, if Cleveland wins this Finals with so many starters out with injuries. Where does this place them all-time? Whatv does that do for Lebron's legacy?

Lebron's will probably play 45-46 mins/game and average a triple double if they win this series, so it should be pretty good for his legacy.

No leader like LeBron.
No guys who understand that if you can play defense hard every night, you wind up on a contender for the championship.
No guys who are more concerned about defense than offense.

I'm not sure if it's effort as much as nerves. I doubt Curry isn't giving it his all, I think he's nervous and it's screwing with his shooting muscle memory.

If, if, if ... I'd say it puts LeBron in the top 4 players of the modern era, still behind Jordan and Magic in my book, but ahead of Bird and what's his face from the Spurs.

I made one less shot than Harrison Barnes and Steph Curry combined.

Warriors need Barnes to give them something, and it ain't happening. Warriors look beaten.

LeBron already at 22/10/5.

The Warriors have abandoned their passing game. No way this team should be anywhere near them.

Cavs win tonight, Warriors don't win again this season. 66-48 now,
The greatest pure shooter of all-time is 2 of 9 from the field for 5 points.

Well I put money on em to win the series... But only because the odds were so good. I fully expected(and still do) GS to win

Van gundy and mark Jackson are insufferable morons. There's a reason they're out of coaching.

Kobe shot .405/.321 against Boston in 08. He did have 25ppg/4apg/5rpg

Dirk didn't make it to the Finals after getting knocked out of the first round shooting .383/.211 for 19 points in 07. That's maybe the worst playoff performance by an MVP ever.

Iverson shot just .407/.282 against LA, but still managed to score almost 36 points per game.

Is it just me or does Blatt always sound clueless? Even when they are huddled up he sounds like a Jr high coach

Lebron is a freaking super hero. 26-10-7-2-2 after three.

Aside from that, everywhere he goes they play the same scrappy, desperate defense. That's a pretty good testament to what he is as a teammate. He may not be as obvious as Jordan was about the standards he holds his teammates to, but you don't have three different teams playing the same all-out defense if Lebron isn't demanding it and demonstrating it himself.



Also, Dellavadova has more fight than all the Warriors combined.

17 down to 9. Cleveland playing like ****.

The talk in the huddle is always heavily censored for broadcast. A team rep gets to review the footage to ensure that no strategy is leaked, so most coaches end up sounding like idiots. Blatt does seem a little worse than others though.

Incidentally, this series is exactly why I REALLY wanted the Spurs to land Iggy last time he was a free agent. If it weren't for him, Lebron would be shooting at least 10% higher from the field.

Warriors lack of a decent post player is being exposed. Their only hope is to start raining 3s, which the Cavs are geared up to stop.

What does he have to say other then "ok guys, keep running iso for Lebron."

I think they cut out where he says a sentence and then adds, "Assuming that's OK with LeBron."
