Some positives for Cavs backers

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Ohio homers/honks grasping at straws

[meader99]

Last I checked the Warriors are up 1-0 and won on their home floor

Even if they go up 2-0, they're supposed to. So until GS wins on the road, they haven't done shit. They almost lost game 1 at home and fukking Irving playing hurt

Delly will be just as good

Cle wins next 2 anyways

Last I checked, the dubs don't need any wins on the road to get the job done.

Lebron has college type players around him..they have no shot to even win 1 game

JR Smith got real luck the last series

Stop.

Before this series started all the talk was about how great these guys are.

Shumpert great defender
Jr- 3 point hero
Mozgov-big man that would dominate bogut
Thompson- great rebound master
Delledonkey- great clutch shooter

[jtoler]

If Bron drove 85% of the time theyed have a much better chance, he'd get to the line more, it would start to bring Bogut off his man more freeing up Moz or Thompson, it'd cause Klay and Barnes to inch off their man more freeing up outside shooters some, where were the high picks from Cavs to bring Bogut or Green up and Bron drive, pass, or kick? Cavs run a simple offense, they can't win as long as Bron resorts to iso posts with his back to the basket, he's looking for the double team so he can kick, nobodys gonna double you there you just gave your advantages away.

POSITIVE ATTITUDES ONLY!!

1. Its obvious Golden State cant guard LeBron... we still got the best player in the world playing a team that cannot, an I reeat CANNOT, guard him at all. Its gonna take a superman effort, glad we have the one guy that can deliver it.

2. Mosgov is being aggressive on offense... went to the rack hard a few times and got good results... he is better than Bogut.

3. Thompson outplayed Green... TT outrebounded Green 15-6... and held Green to only 12 pts. TT only scored 2 himself but his scoring isnt what matters. Its limiting Green pts and keeping him off the glass. TT won that battle hands down.

4. Watch out for James Jones... experienced player, hits clutch shots. Youll be talking about him before this series is over.

It also obvious, losing Kyrie is a killer, but we are here to talk about positives... Cavs need to stop those runs by the GS bench. Iguodola was huge... his experience showed... hes the reason (along with some clutch shots by Curry and Thompson) GS got it to OT

I like this positive attitude.. a real fan with confidence.. wish you best of luck homie!

[Ebe]

We have a warrior fan here genuinely wishing a cavs fan the BOL because he likes his fandom

[jjgold]

Stax give it up man

[KuLaPhU]

we treat our opponents like humans with class.. I know some people are just wannabee fan of the team just because. and doesn't even know the game.

[vinny808]

I find it interesting how the Boston Celtics suffocated Kobe on defense during the finals and forced Kobe's teammates to make plays. GS is giving Lebron space, forcing him to make shots.

au contraire. Fan base is very calm and no one's panicky. Cavs will protect it's home floor going 3-0 and we gonna win game 5. Deal with it 👊

[louielouie]

Cavs win it all -- they win tomorrow -- they win game 3 -- they win game 4 and they win game 6 -- it is that simple -- golden kool aids gonna eat up all the lost money they bet -- square warrior backers should be afraid of all the money they lose tomorrow -- the King is coming for his rightful throne

[ThaTopMoron]

Cavs need to not give Barnes wide open 3's... he is a pretty clutch guy

they're like... well, Barnes wide open is better then running him off & then someone else getting a slightly contested 3

well, THEY'RE WRONG

his 3 was the dagger in OT

[Ebe]

Barnes 3 was def a dagger

[YouHave2outs]

this is the Warriors game plan though, and it worked.

make Bron shoot fade away and turn around jumpers, and some 5-8 foot floaters/hooks. nothing at the rim. big men coming to help quickly when he drives, wing defenders staying put.

Aint no thing

the Bucks

the Bucks

Hey bitch, positive thoughts only

Bux or not, that was fawkin impressive

16 points scored in under 3 minutes

[JameisBrady]

The Cavs need JR and Shumpert to combine for at least 30, LeBron needs to put in 40 minimum and everyone else has to put in at least a combined 30 for them to have a chance tonight.

Realistically, cavs fans need to hope delly rolls into curry's ankles and ends his season.

[Darkside Magick]

need to get one game somehow at oracle.......gsw not winning at the Q

Because Lebron makes his teammates better.

Thats what they need, but it can't happen with lebron getting 44 on 38 shots. The other thing people are completely ignoring is the fact that the dubs didn't play all that well in game 1 and still got the win.

[R.P. McMurphy]

Meader that's my main thought. Cavs came out punching with everything they had and got a decent size early lead gm 1with Kyrie and still wasn't enough. Just think Dubs have more intensity and clicking better early tonight. Bron could go for 40+ again sure but that's not easy even with his greatness. Once 2h hits unless Bron is getting help with big clutch shots from others and some scrappy defense this could get ugly for the guests!

Good point.

the warriors struggled in games 1, 2, and 4 of the rockets series. You need to stop living in some alternate world where the warriors play their "A game" more often than not.

Not playing that well and not playing their "A" game are two different things. I will note that the dubs have won 80 games this year, so it appears they come with their "A" game more often that not.

[INVEGA MAN]

IF they cant guard james, why did he take a 15 ft shot and not go for a layup. GS says take all them 15 footers all you want. james cat ad wont beat GS without help

[jtoler]

Bron got em just where he wants them.

Then that's the wrong gameplan, rather give up a harder shot(a 3) opposed to Bron dishing for a layup under the basket. I wouldn't mind Shump and Smith shooting 3's while I'm closing out, but its not so much what Warriors are doing its what the Cavs arnt doing.

The cavs can only win if role players have big games. If lebron continues to take 38 shots to score 44 points, then the cavs have no shot at winning the series. Lebron needs to score more efficiently, but more importantly, get the role players great shots. It appears that the Warriors game plan was to make lebron work hard to get his and take away the role players. You can't allow lebron to get his AND allow him to create open shots for the shooters. Stay home on shooters and make lebron take contested shots and the cavs have no shot to win this series with the way their roster is currently.

My whole thing was about the way Bron is going about getting his. Posting up with back to the basket and shooting jumpers isn't the way he should be doing it. I suspect he will drive a lot tonight if he's smart and they will utilize pick and roll.

He shot 47.4%. If all Cavs shot 47.4% they wouldve won

[meader99]

He took 38 shots to get 44 points. It's not efficient enough. Cavs probably would have won had he not settled for a 25 foot step back jumper to win the game.

The efficiency is in the 47%.
