Of course the media leaves this out.

At this point, it's too obvious that the Warriors are going to win this and the Cavs are a wounded animal backed into a corner. That's when the animal is most dangerous.

I have nothing to base this on except "gut feel." I can't see LBJ, at this point in his career, letting them get humiliated.

“Mostly I looked at it as my fault,” Smith said. “I had a lot of dumb fouls and turnovers. I put ourselves in a situation for us to lose that game. I lost my focus, but fortunately I have great teammates.”

“I was thinking, &#8216lease win this game,’ ’’ Smith said. “I don’t want the phone calls, the text messages, the Instagrams and tweets. I don’t need that.’’

sleeper;1733276 wrote:It's simple. Mozgov is an offensive threat but a defensive liability especially on the pick and roll game. TT gives you a defender that can guard the opposing center and someone who can switch the pick and roll and still cover their guard.

I think Blatt will continue to run Mozgov in the first half so he can play on fresh legs and then swap to the younger, more athletic 5 that he had in their most of the second half. Blatt is right, that is the "winning" lineup.
