Well, Cleveland certainly had their chance last night.
It's interesting in the NBA just how much power individual players have, but hey - small teams.

Shame he can't play every single minute.[James] was on the court for 45 minutes and 37 seconds. The Cavs beat the Warriors in that time by seven points. He was off the court for 2 minutes and 23 seconds. The Warriors beat the Cavs in that time by 12 points.

The playoffs in one statistic
James has played 166 minutes, and the Cavs have won those minutes by six points; James has rested for 26 minutes, and the Cavs have lost those minutes by 25 points. They outscore the Warriors by 1.1 points per 100 possessions with him. They’re outscored by the Warriors by 47.9 points per 100 possessions without him.

Cavs dominated that game except for that 21-2 run at the end of the second. That was the ball game.
People can say what they want, but I'm not sure the better team won.

The better team won.
That being said, James is a monster, and he and Kyrie need some support.

Like I said, you can say what you want, but I don't think so. Cavs should have won game 3. Lebron was missing layups at the end. Irving was missed three layups in a row during last night's game.
The Cavs are actually deeper than the Warriors. They're just not as well coached.
Although their support players not showing up in games 1 and 2 killed them.
P.S. That roster was assembled by Lebron, so if you put the blame on them, that's still his responsibility.
The off season will be interesting.
-Rumors have the Warriors possibly dumping Klay Thompson to save money as he's the most replaceable person in that lineup.
-The Celtics look to land Hayward and...?
-The Cavs will try to trade Love, which I think will end up costing them. Love's contribution to that team is crazy underrated, and I think he gets slighted a lot because he's white. Not joking. Rumor has Bron wanting Carmello. If they were smart, they'd figure out how to move Tristan Thompson for Carmello, and move Love to C. There's also an outside shot Wade comes over at the league minimum for a year. Could you imagine Irving, James, Wade, Anthony, and Love as a starting 5?

Because, as a team, they are weak, and couldn't keep up. they got worn down cuz their best parts got exhausted cuz their team is not as good.
Because that team is not as good.
Celtics will be interesting, I really hope they put it together and beat the Cavs. Hell, win the whole thing. Would love to see an actual team being built instead of just primma donna'd.Leisher wrote:

No, Corver and Smith were hitting that night. Also, the Warriors were missing like crazy too. Only Durant sank a massive shot in the final few minutes.Because, as a team, they are weak, and couldn't keep up. they got worn down cuz their best parts got exhausted cuz their team is not as good.
They beat a deeper Warriors team last year. That's why the Warriors are going to ditch Klay. They can get two mid-priced guys and parts in exchange for his salary.Because that team is not as good.
Ditto.

There is word the Lakers want to trade out of #2.
They'd take Josh Jackson at four and the Suns would take Ball at two. In return, the Suns would take Deng's contract from the Lakers.
It's kind of win-win for both teams. Plus, it makes Lavar Ball look like an even bigger moron.

Another rumor is the Cavs will trade Love for Paul George.
Love was great for the Cavs and not the reason they lost. Still if Cleveland feels this makes them compete, they need to do it now. This would be a 1 year thing because after that they're going to lose George to the Lakers (100% going to happen), and there's a strong chance they lose Lebron to the Lakers too...
