KD doing damage

rest of dubs need to pick it up

They can't when they're letting the Warriors get hacked while driving and the refs call phantom fouls on every Cleveland drive to the basket.

 

[Instro]

Cavs really hot but Warriors still put up 60+. Can they keep the pace?

No. The way this game has gone they should be up 40, but they can't stop the Warriors scoring.

 

[Jopie]

How many times this year did they not score 86 for the entire game? Insane half.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Cavs strategy of going into a straight up pure shoot out is going to work for a game. The power of drilling fuck it threes.

Too bad warriors can't get into a straight up pure defense mode.

Always bullshit out of your mouth.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

the moment Durant realized the Warriors lost last season without him

 

[Violence Jack]

Ah yes, this outlier totally nullifies their record in the regular season & during the playoffs

I didn't say anything about it being the norm for them.

 

[Zok310]

GS wit all them bricks tonight, tf happened to them

 

[Radec]

Now they broke the half point record too?

I hope they don't choke in the 4th.

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

splash bros been quiet.

lol all these hot takes about "warriors vaunted defense"

Hard to hear them over all the whistles...

 

[Gorillaz]

I can't believe JR and his fuckball shots have infected the whole team and is working

 

[TuXx]

Refs have defend the land shirts underneath their unnies.

 

[GalacticToast]

the moment Durant realized the Warriors lost last season without him

They beat Durant tho. So it kind of evens out.

 

[Mrbob]

How crazy is this game when the Cavs score 86 in the first half and it doesn't feel like it's over.

 

[Mimosa97]

Is 86 points a nba record or just a finals record ?

 

[TheOfficeMut]

im dying right now chill

Lol glad you understood the reference

 

[Galactic Barret]

They could've had 95 with FT.

Holy shit. Thats... what the hell can you say about that?

Shit.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Too bad warriors can't get into a straight up pure defense mode.

Always bullshit out of your mouth.

Warriors defense has been somewhat weak but they're making threes right over guys hands. Not sure what else can be done without fouling?

Of all the comments to attack me over for no reason, you choose a perfectly normal one.

 

[Syphon Filter]

The Cavs found their 4th all star: Adam Silver.

you want kleenex or puffs? hurry though because i need to get back in time for the 3rd quarter.

 

[Lionel Richie]

What the fuck people questioning the Warriors defense, are you guys watching the game? Are you seeing the shots Cleveland is hitting? This straight up macho.

 

[Fluffhead14]

They are one of the best defensive teams in the league by most metrics, but then again what do I know I'm going by a season + playoffs worth of data and evidence rather than the far superior sample size or "one half of a single game".

You seem level headed and knowledgeable, don't let the Gaf pile-on get you down.

 

[Zasa]

It'd be hilarious if the Cavs put down the most points in a single quarter in finals history...& then lose. Don't do it, Cavs.

 

[maxxpower]

Does Richard Jefferson have a Richard Jefferson tattoo?

 

[kaiju]

The way the Cavs have been shooting, it feels like the Dubs are down 100 lol

Still not out of this game yet. 2nd half should be hype.

 

[Vinsanity.]

Dubs set two NBA Finals records tonight - most points given up in a quarter, and most points given up in a half. Both records set by the 2017 Warriors - in the entire history of the NBA Finals...

 

[Jarmel]

Good god, this is going to be a 140+ game.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Warriors still got to 68. Feels good.

 

[Shmeagatory94]

Refs have defend the land shirts underneath their unnies.

Wouldnt be surprised lol

 

[GalacticToast]

Of all the comments to attack me over for no reason, you choose a perfectly normal one.

Tiniest straw to break a camel's back?

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

GS wit all them bricks tonight, tf happened to them

All the BS the refs are pulling has thrown them off their game. But the 2nd half is coming. Game ain't over yet...

Spoiler

Unless the refs keep the bullshit up.

 

[Elfforkusu]

So, looks like 55 possessions that half (using the Dean Oliver method).

A nice, cool, 156 ORtg

 

[notoriousKTR]

It'd be hilarious if the Cavs put down the most points in a single quarter in finals history...& then lose. Don't do it, Cavs.

Reminds me of that one Rockets game.

 

[dakun]

Warriors still got to 68. Feels good.

yeah any other team and this would be a 40 point blowout. It's amazing to watch really.

 

[Fluffhead14]

Does Richard Jefferson have a Richard Jefferson tattoo?

Yes, top 5 worst tats ever

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Of all the comments to attack me over for no reason...

Shhhh. You're dropping the facade lol

 

[TTG]

Paul Pierce looks like he went to Men's Warehouse. Is he selling Chryslers?

 

[GalacticToast]

Paul Pierce's tie is ugly as hell

 

[Lionel Richie]

Richard Jefferson is the only reason this game isn't a 30 point blowout.

 

[Tall4Life]

So many here disrespecting the one TRUE GOAT Paul Pierce, SMFH

 

[RedAssedApe]

chauncey the voice of reason

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Fun fact: Jeff Van Gundy's Knicks once scored 72 points in an entire playoff game, and won.

 

[mreddie]

Last game was even and Cavs were on point yet here, the calls have kneecapped the Warriors.

 

[Tom Penny]

Haven't been watching...49 point quarter.. What kind one records did that break?

 

[jmizzal]

The Truth speaking the truth cavs have to play at NBA record setting pace the next 4 games to win lol

 

[linkboy]

The problem, as we saw with the Super Bowl, is if you have a half like that (21-3 Atl lead at halftime), is that you have to keep it up (which is damn near impossible).

The minute you let the momentum switch, it can be nearly impossible to recover it.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

if the cavs get it in 7 ill tattoo the entire roster on my ass

If the Cavs get it in 7 again they need to disband the Warriors within the month

 

[TTG]

Fun fact: Jeff Van Gundy's Knicks once scored 72 points in an entire playoff game, and won.

I thought you were going with entire playoff series.

 

[Jopie]

Final score prediction 136 to 129.

 

[Mimosa97]

This half time show is weak

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

This half time show is weak

Yup. TNT's Half time show is way better.

 

[Gorillaz]

Game is within reach and the key for the warriors is pretty much KD.

Curry and to a smaller degree at times klay disappear in moments like these

KD needs to put the cape on and play hero ball a bit. That is honestly one of their best cards
