Cavs are have played better with the team they have.

Their problem is their lack of depth due to the injuries.

Hard to be down two superstars.

 

[Cyber Caesar]

What a pain in the ass for the Cavs.

Gotta rest LeBron every once in awhile, but every Cavs' player literally gets 10 times worse without him.

They just panic without Lebron. So many veterans on the court and Delly is the number one option. SMH

 

[Two Words]

Welcome to the Miami Heat experience Cleveland fans. Lebron goes to the bench, lead blows up to 10.

Spoiler

I'm still mad at Steph and Klay

Wade and Bosh both carried the Heat when Lebron was injured or sitting. Didn't Bosh win a couple games with Wade and Lebron injured in the playoffs?

 

[RedAssedApe]

Its like LeBron is the only person that can pass to Mosgov.

Well he's not in the game right now?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

It's too bad GS can't figure out how to stop Tristan on the boards. The series would get a whole lot easier.

not really anything to figure out. he is a tenacious rebounder and even if you manage to meet his effort level he's still bigger than most of the guys trying to box him out

 

[DoubleTake]

This is the first game I would come close to calling trash. The other 3 was a defensive slugfest reminiscent of 90's basketball. It isn't pretty but it wasn't trash. Both teams played great D. This game however....

I wouldnt call missed open shots, missed dunks, and jack up 3s with little to no ball movement good defense. This game I'd agree is more defensive but still nowhere near the level of offensive execution 2 teams competing for the title should be showing.

The 2004 Pistons team, that was defense. The 09 Laker vs. Celtics those were defensive showcases. Not this lol

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Lebron knew what he will get in Cavs. Deal with it situation...

Yeah he knew 3 of their starters would be injured for the entire finals.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Green so dramatic

LeBron got stuffed

 

[LiK]

Lebron is back already.

 

[hitgirl]

Common Jr and Sherman

 

[Zoned]

It's also quite baffling to see a veteran player like JR smith playing shit. Dude is an embarrassment right now.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Blatt always sound so dumb in interviews.

 

[FLAguy954]

He hit the ball clear out of his hand, these fucking refs man

 

[zychi]

Both teams fans accusing the refs of rigging the game for the opponent.
Sounds like an NBA playoff game.

The "rigging" claims I take issue with.
If you're a competitor, why play the game if you know the game is rigged against you?

Do I think the team that's behind in the series tends to get a few more 50/50 calls so that the series is more likely to go 7?
............yeah, i could see that, certainly happened with Kings/Lakers 02.

IF that does happen, it's shitty, but hopefully they don't manipulate game 7s.

I don't want to believe such things about the NBA.
I want to believe it's ref incompetence and that it's the hardest of the 4 major sports to officiate because there's so many 50/50 calls like the charge/block.

I have no horse in this race.

Go read about Tim Donaghey, the way you post, you're clearly too young or havent been watching basketball very long.

 

[jmizzal]

Block party

MVP Curry back

You must not be a NY Knicks fan.

JR Smith has been embarrassing this whole series, just keep him off the court.

 

[Whitman's Ghost]

Jones crumpled on the floor. Oh get up you flaming wuss bags. Dear god man. It's Curry.

 

[golem]

It's also quite baffling to see a veteran player like JR smith playing shit. Dude is an embarrassment right now.

JR has always been an embarrassment

Both teams fans accusing the refs of rigging the game for the opponent.
Sounds like an NBA playoff game.

First off, it's not rigged.

The "rigging" claims I take issue with.
If you're a competitor, why play the game if you know the game is rigged against you?

I can give you 100s of millions of reasons why.

Do I think the team that's behind in the series tends to get a few more 50/50 calls so that the series is more likely to go 7?
............yeah, i could see that, certainly happened with Kings/Lakers 02.

Right so you see it here but not in other places? Got it.

IF that does happen, it's shitty, but hopefully they don't manipulate game 7s.

By Game 7, it no longer matters. The deal is done. Advertising is sold.

I don't want to believe such things about the NBA.
I want to believe it's ref incompetence and that it's the hardest of the 4 major sports to officiate because there's so many 50/50 calls like the charge/block.

I don't want to believe that people do terrible things to other people yet, they do.

 

[Godslay]

JR Smith is due, as he misses everyone hahaha.

It's without a doubt the hardest to officiate. Also according to Adam Silver the NBA doesn't make any more money if it goes 4 games or 7 as their TV contracts are already set. The only ones that benefit are of course the teams that get a couple more games to sell tickets and ESPN.

So in summary according to the NBA the only ones that really benefit from a series being extended is ESPN.

 

[jmizzal]
