Exactly. Unless "fact checker" was implying that LBJ has also lost two series after going down 0-1, he's actually lost 3 series (2 CHeat, 1 Cavs).

Unfortunately, I think it might be time to start thinking about next year. I really hope Kyrie didn't seriously damage anything and he can play opening night. This is just the Warriors' year. They have been healthy all year, they get all the crucial calls, they lucked out with the easier possible path in the West, and they have played teams in the playoffs with serious injuries. On top of that, they are a very good team and really didn't need all that help.

It sucks being a Clevleand fan, because you never know when the opportunity is going to come again where we are so close (yet in this case so far) from winning a title, but I truly believe if we keep this roster together, and IF healthy, they can roll to a title especially if/when they cut dead weight off their bench.

Wow you're really smart.

No shit, I'm saying he's also lost 2 series after losing game 1. The fact that he has won 2 is pretty much moot since he has also lost 2 doing the same thing.

But again, ignore the facts if you please.

Normally you are correct with your super fact checking, but I think you are completely off base with what BR was trying to convey.

FUCK, that travel call on Moz still fucking pisses me off.

And you're not so smart. My post wasn't intended as some kind of "guarantee/they've got this thing in the bag" type of post but go ahead and tell everyone what I was thinking.

LeBron James is 2-2 when losing game 1 of the Finals.

Off topic but "Ho Lee Fuk !" Better sneak in your food....

California at its best.

Good job.

Nice chuck at the end of regulation, Lebron. Good job. Well done. Almost got it.

/sarcasm

You act like he hasn't made that shot before?


I agree overall though, take it to the fucking hole.

Never will understand that part of Lebron's game. He only had one guy on him. I would take him driving to the hole on that play any day of the week.

Really, the point isn't moot at all. Winning 50% of the time after being down 0-1 in the NBA finals is an impressive stat. I think THIS is the point BR was making: the series isn't over yet, as LeBron has won after being down 0-1 before.

That's exactly the point BR was trying to make. This isn't Lebron's first rodeo being down 0-1 in the finals is all BR was saying. Hell, he has been down 0-1 in his career many times in the playoffs. I think he might be above .500 when starting a series 0-1, but I am sure fact checker will let us know soon.

Yeah I'd hate to blame anyone other than Lebron as he is the leader, but the bench was useless in Game 1. I don't expect out bench to be that bad the rest of the series.

Prior to this series I had the Cavs winning in 6. I expected them to lose game 1 (obviously hoping they'd steal a game 1 victory), win 2-4, lose 5 and close it out at home in game 6. Same exact thing sleeper said. The only "monkeywrench" in my prediction was that I expected Kyrie to be able to contribute all series. Being down 0-1 is no biggie but if they come back to Cleveland down 0-2, oh boy....

Yeah, this pisses me off more than anything about him. Dude is a Sherman Tank who can't be stopped if he takes it to the hole. If they try to stop him they are going to hack him so hard that he's going to the line. Those points are his to be had 24/7/365, if he wants them.

After feeling "amazing" for most of the game, to have that happen in overtime when it shouldn't have come to that (travel on Mozgov, two looks at the end of regulation), it's a tough pill to swallow. However, we're Cleveland. Nothing shocks me anymore when it doesn't go our way. I can't help but think THIS is why those veterans are in the locker room and on the bench. It would be easy to lose heart and get swept after losing a tough game like this and Kyrie going down. However, I expect to see us come out swinging Game 2. If we can limit the bench production (really, Maurice Speights... really?) I think we have a shot to steal Game 2 and head back to Cleveland all even.

Agree with this 100%. It's not a bad loss but really this should have been an easy Cavs win. It's not all gloom and doom for me and I'm sticking with my Cavs in 6 prediction and my Game 2 victory for the Cavs.

It was bad. The only reason this loss stings is that the Cavs HAD THE GAME. They had it.

I saw a Deadspin article implying that the Cavs organization is pushing Kyrie to play on a bum wheel.

Okay? And do you actually believe they would do that? SMH

Yes, at this point I am more concerned about Kyrie not being able to play next year than I am about game 2. I need to hear good news soon, before I look forward to game 2 smh.

Yes, and their source is cleveland's resident gossip bitch boy windhorst.

Not to mention deadspin has turned into the TMZ of sports.
