    Some positives for Cavs backers

    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

    Unless JR catches fire not sure your team can make up for loss on offense. His loss on defense bigger though.

    Don't see this going more than 5

    Don't get me wrong I think Lebron is a great player and he basically carried the cavs, along with Kyrie, in game 1. He was 18 for 38 from the floor though, while awesome and necessary for the cavs as they are currently constituted, it's hardly unstoppable. What the Cavs need is a similar games from LeBron and several JR Smith unconscious games.

    Kyrie being out helps the Cavs. He was hurting them in game 1 being on the floor.

    cleveland hangs close and loses game 2, then everyone assume it goes 2-1 after they get home and they go down 3-0 and then win game 4 after everyone gives up on them, then they lose game 5, replay of houston series basically

    stax i do feel bad for you god really does hate cleveland

    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

    If GS happens to pull this out, there should be an asterix next to this title

    Beating the Cavs without Kyrie and KLove

    and they still got taken to OT in game 1

    Same story, just a decade later. Lebron couldn't do it years ago when he was with the Cavs by himself. He's not going to bring a championship by himself now.

    defense improves slightly with delly instead of kyrie. but yes jr smith needs to drop 30 for them to win game 2 (assuming lebron drops 40 himself)

    and then you go "guys, take me seriously even though I said the Bulls would beat the Cavs this year!"

    I'm sure Golden State are quivering at the thought of Mathew Dellavedova playing.


    This is the last game at Oracle Arena.

    there are no positives. this series is over. if you were smart you would take all your savings and put it on the warriors to recoup your loss for betting on the cavs

    When an OP starts his reasoning with "WE", pretty much invalidates anything he says.
