game 1 q1 just finished.  at a glance it's fairly easy to see CLE isn't a huge match up problem for GSW like OKC was.  i think it'll be GSW in 6 or less.  GSW just have too much firepower and too deep of bench for CLE.  Triston Thompson is one of the most over paid dude in NBA.  dude has no offense.  and why?  because apparently he's LBJ's buddy...

Game 1 sucked balls! Would be pretty disheartening for CLE that they lost with Curry and Klay so quiet. CLE seemed completely out of sorts though. JR - 3 FGA, Frye - 3FGA, Delly - 3FGA (2 poor choices). Love shooting 1 handed fall away half hook shots. WTF???

Very interested to see who turns up in game 2.

so....... GSW's bench is better than CLE's starters? :o

man the way game 1 turned out, could be a very bad sign for Cleveland. I'd like to see a 7 game series but.. not looking too optimistic after that. OKC got destroyed by SA in game 1 and bounced back, so it's easy to get caught up in "one game".

if there was any game they needed to steal, it was that one (with Curry/Klay so quiet).

very bad loss.

Lol, the friend I made a bet with has been on me all day, already celebrating. I still think this series is up in the air and it's just a matter of making adjustments. Lue has to neutralize that second unit however he can. Play through Mozgov, slow the game down, maybe move JR to second unit to get more opportunities. He has to do whatever he can not to have them go on a run like they did that 3rd quarter. The game was pretty much won there.

GSW looked great but I'm still optimistic. I thought Kyrie looked really good, he just has to hit more shots. I think these finals are his chance to really blow up. But with him and Lebron being able to get to the basket like they do and also having good shooters on the perimeter to kick out to, I think CLE is still in this. I dunno maybe I'm wishing them to victory but they played GSW to 6 games last year relying completely on Lebron isos and 110% defensive intensity. They need that back, their defense was in let's see what you can do mode last night.

ya but there's one thing that has changed considerably since last year -> GSW knows exactly who they are and their confidence is through the roof. GSW is the same team, but 100% confident in how they play together. CLE is a completely different team now that they have Kyree/Love back.

Hero ball might actually be an answer for CLE AWAY from home.. Hero ball between Lebron and someone else who is hot (ideally, Kyree). At home I think they will click alot better, they demonstrated that in the TOR series. Kevin Love isn't a killer on the road. So if anything, Lue might want to try some major 'style changes' away from home; Lebron will probably need to be way more aggressive on the road, is my major point. When CLE is away, he drives and kicks it out to open shooters who brick shots.. At home, they hit alot of those shots. So maybe we need to see the 35 ppg Lebron (from last year) @ GSW.

finally.. Kerr is just one of the best (if not the best) coach in the NBA. That's such a major factor in this series.

Damn great point about identity. It hurt the Cavs that they treated themselves as equals last night and they took on that lets go basket for basket mentality as long we keep the ball out of Stephs and klays hands. They have to change the way they approach the game for sure, especially away from home like you mentioned. Lebron just going nuts isn't a bad approach. It'll be interesting to see what they do.

Now if only they'd call all the other travels in the league.

First one was definitely a travel. Second one not so much.

I'm seriously hoping the home court gives CLE some confidence. Otherwise the series will be an absolute embarrassment.

it's pretty hard to see CLE having any chance...  GSW can easily match any points production of CLE and turn it up few notches for just few minutes and easily pull away.  can't really see the reverse for CLE, maybe once in a long while.  thus there is no way for this rendition of CLE winning 4 games against current GSW.  GSW has a strong chance of sweeping CLE clean this year, that  would please me the most.  and a fitting ending of this very special year.

 :trollface:

but damn if CLE can't even win one game at home it'll be pretty sad and CLE will be truly exposed.  East is weak and has been for some times...  CLE can't even seem to challenge GSW at all, not after losing 7 straight to GSW.  unlike OKC who always poses a threat and the battle with GSW are always exciting.  psychologically CLE might be just done...  out matched, out played, out coached, out defended, out team worked.

CLE looked old and slow. Lebron and Kyrie both look tentative and devoid of any confidence on the offensive end. That goes a long way towards GSW playing like they're on top of the world, especially the bench. There's no pressure whatsoever on GSW at the moment. I'd like to see that change and I'm hoping Lebron gets selfish again and looks to score. I mean why is he passing on the drive when he's 3 feet from the basket??? It's ridiculous.

*Edit- also don't you love how Iguodala gets hit in groin by Delly in game 1 and goes off his nut. Gets hit in groin by Lebron in game 2 and back away slowly.

hi. we were all so spoiled with GSW vs OKC  :ninja:

CLE just looks dead.. I stopped watching, and watched Game of Thrones instead, etc. Even if someone is losing, as long as they have fight in them, it's worth watching.. In the GSW vs OKC series, I couldn't stop watching; it was a real fight.

As for ghettoracer's comment, i dno, going to be hard to see CLE getting swept.. but.. also hard seeing them winning the next 2 @ home. GSW takes 1 out of those 2 then finishes it in game 5 @ GSW, probably their preferred storybook ending. A title to cap off the best regular season in history, and one of the best playoff comebacks in NBA history.

Now if only we can get the 1996 Bulls to go against the 2016 Warriors in a 7 game series..  :wowthatwasnutswtf:

on a side note; Durant needs to sign with the Heat so we can see GSW vs MIA next year. :F
