There's gotta be more to this conversation than either "The Cavs and Lebron are just gonna keel over and die" and "Cavs got the Dubs figured out, PLAN THE PARADE"
We just got two very highly contested games between two teams trying to put everything on the table to get those Ws. A play here or there and this could have easily been 2-0 Cleveland or 2-0 Golden State. Either of those results doesn't really change how both teams have played and that information is valuable for trying to figure out what happens from here. Cleveland could have put a stranglehold on a series they were major underdogs in but didn't. Golden State could have taken cared of business despite playing far below their expectations, but they didn't. Instead it's 1-1, best of 5 from here on out, both teams trying to prepare for the other and adjust. I wouldn't be surprised if Cleveland put up a great effort the rest of the series (I'd be surprised if they won but hell, stranger things have happened) and neither would I be surprised if they pulled a 2014 Heat and just fell apart completely.
You're right, there is more but quite frankly you're unlikely to find it here.
I will say that, while it mostly went unnoticed here, both coaches made really interesting coaching moves that paid off in different ways.
First, the Cavs really took advantage of Curry defensively. They did this by using his man as the screen setter, making Curry the help defender, and Curry blew a couple helps, particularly on the Delly and LeBron 3s in the 4th. I don't have the stats, but I would guess that Curry doesn't get thrown into screens that much
as the help defender, and it shows. It also might have had an impact on Curry offensively. Also, using a small/small ball screen allowed LeBron to get some mismatches, momentum, and spacing, which was the only way it was happening. Either way, great scheming by Blatt.
Both teams went small at the end most of the time if memory serves, with Barnes/Green and LeBron/Thompson the 'bigs' for each side. The Cavs basically have no choice. They have to get another shooter on the floor to get any spacing at all. The idea was that Love would be that big who could stretch the floor. The Dubs matching it was more interesting to me. I'm guessing the idea was to spread the floor themselves and to be more switchable on LeBron ball screens defensively. That kind of worked, and the smaller lineup didn't kill them on rebounding or hoops in the paint.
Warriors made a small tweak with big dividends late when they started running their ball screens a little further away from the basket. It got an extra defender extended and Klay and Curry got clear runs to the hoops because of the GS shooters.
I don't know if the Cavs can keep this up for 4 wins, but it's impressive to watch. It'll be interesting to see what tweaks Kerr and Blatt make for game 3. Kerr has the better tools in his shed, but Blatt has Thor's Hammer.
