^^ When he's missing them, he keeps shooting. That's his problem. Lebron will have a bad game and recognize that and get everyone involved. His stat line will end up being like 8-20, 24 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. Kyrie tries to shoot himself back in game and will be 8-27 with 5 assists.

When he's on like last night, then jack it up whenever you get in range.

That was impressive to watch...Kyrie made Curry his bitch.

Think bogut's injury is a bigger deal then people will want to say. I won't be shocked if the cavs win in 7.

Irving was Irsanity last night. He finally got a game to be remembered by his fans in the finals. Lebron also bounced back under extreme high pressure, for the first time maybe? Cavs deserve some respect.

Now Gsw lost their best chance to win at home. A potential game 7 is waiting for them. Green is so important to the team. He's truly gsw' s Dennis Rodman.

Look, I'm not made of money OK? I bought tickets to the game way before I knew the Ws would be playing a game 5 on the same night next door. Super glad I didn't bite on those other tix though. Saved myself a cool grand...

As others have said, Kyrie had a monster game and deserves all the credit in the world. If the Cavs play like that again, they will definitely win game 6 in CLE.

The DG loss was pretty huge and I can't say I'm all that surprised that the Cavs would steal one.

I don't get how they "stole" one? They just beat them. Lebron and Irving had monster games...but the rest of the Cavs didn't do much (save play great defense).

Curry had another crappy night, but that's pretty much par for the course in the Finals for him. Thompson went bananas in the first half and Igoudala had a great game until the fourth. The Warriors didn't play great, but they weren't horrible either.

These are pretty even teams. I think GSW is a slightly better team, but they are having difficult with Cleveland's hard-nosed defense and the Cavs have two superstars.

This is turning into a great series.

Because DG is banned.

When he returns next game in OH, they probably are gonna finish this.

^^tell that to Taco Bell then

The Ws should have won a close out game at home. CLE clearly played better. It's a slow Tuesday, but let's find something more substantial to argue about like officiating/foul calls if we are that bored.

I'll be surprised if Lebron + Irving can sustain that output and efficiency for game 6 with Draymond back.

I think most people will talk about Draymond's missed defense from last game but GSW shot terribly on the offensive end too - 36% from the field, 33% from 3.

Maybe I'm a homer but I thought that had more to do with Barnes/Curry missing open shots they usually make.

I doubt that will happen again for game 6, but now the pressure is on GSW to close out. Plus, LeBron found his shot last night.

I think the Cavs push this to 7 games.

GSW can close out in Cleveland if Cavs play like game 4, but it's always hard to get the title on the road. So there's probably gonna be a game 7.

Like I said before:
Quote :
"Cavs is the eastern OKC. OKC dies and passes the torch to cavs. Cavs will fight with GSW till the last minute and fire up every bullet they have. They will also use their home court advantage to the maximum. GSW want to swallow them and end the series as quickly as possible but they have trouble now. Cavs is bouncing back. Looks like they find their way of winning now and refuse to be knocked out. "


Curry's status is the biggest headache for Kerr. He just can't play consistently. Lebron is better in this series so far.

I want to bitch about the officiating...but I kind of like the "let them play" method they're going with. They're barely calling body fouls. You basically have to get hit in the head or an obvious rake across the arms to get a whistle. And I feel like that's called pretty evenly on both sides. Lebron is not getting a ton of calls he usually gets...and Steph is having a tough time finishing over some obvious contact.

And yeah...they're fucking up some calls...but it's definitely going both ways. I know GSW feels like they've been getting jobbed...but the out of bounds call on Kyrie last night was criminal. Then they follow it up with the foul called on Thompson's three pointer where Smith just grazed his jersey (literally touched his jersey and then brought his hand back). I thought that was a swing that could have given the game back to the Warriors, but Cleveland fought through it (more like Kyrie just went nuts).

Regardless, I'm just happy this series became competitive and entertaining. Hope the Cavs can pull through at home and take it to Game 7.

If eventually Cavs win the championship, banning Green last night would be considered a HUGE turning point of this series.

I felt almost good for lebron watching him play with someone who can actually take over a game and take pressure off him in a cavs uniform at least, wade and bosh were good players but I don't remember them quite having nights like this in the playoffs when lebron was with them

still not sure what to think about kyrie though, is he really a winning team type of player consistently? maybe they can trade Love or look for some defensive minded, pass first point guard to bump kyrie to the 2, I'd like to see them succeed as constructed but man kevin looked totally phased out of the offense last night

Although last year it was a no-brainer and they gave it to Iguodola anyway, LBJ deserves the MVP again this year. Leads all players between both teams in rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and is 1 pt behind Kyrie in scoring. Clearly the most valuable player on the court again this year. Draymond will probably get it assuming the Ws close tonight and he plays his typical game.

Harrison Barnes shitting the bed worse then he did to end his UNC career.

Love in foul trouble probably helps the Cavs moreso then the Warriors.

Iggy with an injured back? Think Cavs will win in game 7 if he's injured...

Warriors have shot the ball terribly this game. Less than 30% at half...

I'm loving this so much.

Steph is whining non stop. Barnes looks like he's about to cry. Draymond is a non-factor. Iggy moving like Fred Sanford. Klay not engaged one way or the other.

I really hope they don't pull it out in game 7.

BTW, if you've never had back spasms, they're crippling. Worst couple months of my life.

cleveland has a death lineup now. kyrie, jr, lebron, tristian, and kevin with kyrie doing all of the ball handling and lebron making secondary cuts. gsw haven't been able to stop that at all and cleveland. will push the lead back up in the first 3 minutes of the 4th.
