Yeah he is. I hope he keeps it up for the entire playoffs (obviously). I forgot how good JR can be when Kyrie and Lebron are playing well and opening it up for him. Last year in the finals he simply was just not a good 2nd scoring option, especially vs the Warriors.Benny The Jet;1794869 wrote:No good. JR is playing his butt off on both ends

Everything clicking so far tonight. They're hot, but aside from JR's heat check pretty much everything has been a great look.

Can we just skip halftime and keep playing?

Btw, that illegal screen on Love (called a foul) is what the Warriors do every play. This is what I am talking about with consistency with officiating.
But, but, but if you are consistent the games will take 4 hours!!!! /sleeper

I feel pretty comfortable saying that's the best half of basketball I'm ever going to see the Cavs play.

18 3's. Not gonna lose many games with that for a game total, let alone a half.

I wonder how many 3s we end up with tonight. Because our bench players (JJ, Mo specifically) love to shoot 3s.

That was absurd. I'm just laughing at some of the shots JR is taking. But everyone knows they are going in.

Tonight was so fun. Well for 3 quarters. Then it was just boring. Jr Smith laid some serious pipe tonight. A couple of his 3s he never even looked at the rim.

They'll break it again next game. The reality is, the Cavs are peaking at the right moment and everything seems to be falling in.Midstate01;1794920 wrote:Lol at the Hawks whining about the cavs shooting 3s. While shooting 3s themself the 4th quarter.

Gotta hope Curry's injury is legit and the Spurs play grueling 7 games series. And LBJ doesn't go all LBJ Elbow like he did against the celtics, when playing against his penis rubbing buddy Dwade.sleeper;1794926 wrote:They'll break it again next game.

I'm gaining confidence that we can beat both teams straight up. GS worries me more than the Spurs but we can beat them.Commander of Awesome;1794928 wrote:Gotta hope Curry's injury is legit and the Spurs play grueling 7 games series.

I'm still concerned about playing the heat in the ECF. Cavs still need 10 wins to bring home a title. It's a little premature to be popping the champagne over a historical performance that most likely won't happen again.

The Heat? They don't even have Bosh and they will get swept. I hope we play the Heat; Lebron may never have to play in the 2nd half.like_that;1794941 wrote:I'm still concerned about playing the heat in the ECF. Cavs still need 10 wins to bring home a title.

Most likely an irrational fear I will admit, but the concern is there.sleeper;1794947 wrote:The Heat? They don't even have Bosh and they will get swept. I hope we play the Heat; Lebron may never have to play in the 2nd half.

No, I'm with you. The cavs should handle them. But we just don't know how lbj will play. If he just forgets Wade is over there and plays his game, the cavs win easy. But I'd rather get swept in the finals than lose to the heat, so I think that's where my fear comes from.like_that;1794967 wrote:Most likely an irrational fear I will admit, but the concern is there.

Pretty much this. If they lost to the heat I don't think I would follow any sports news until September.Midstate01;1794969 wrote:No, I'm with you. The cavs should handle them.

The fear is definitely irrational. The Cavs are the best team in the East and it really isn't close. I'd say last year was only a struggle because of all the injuries but this year we are healthy and the East isn't strong.like_that;1794967 wrote:Most likely an irrational fear I will admit, but the concern is there.
Now, can we beat GS and the Spurs? I've changed my answer from "no" to "probable" pretty quickly given how both teams are playing right now. The Cavs seem to be on another level at the moment and if that continues into the NBA finals, I don't see how the Cavs can lose.

It usually does! Seriously, if the Cavs lose a game in the entire East playoffs I'd be shocked. It should be an easy 12-0.SportsAndLady;1794974 wrote:Because the best team in the conference always wins!
