I haven't seen the full box score, but even when I saw LeBron's, Love's, and Kyrie's mini stat lines, it didn't seem like any of them played a stellar game. Seems like they all missed a lot of shots.

20 turnovers to 4 turnovers. The widest margin for an NBA Finals game since turnovers were tracked.

My biggest concern is that the Cavs have been exploited for their lack of rim protection. 50+ points in the paint for GS is unacceptable. TT is their only rim protector and he's out guarding the 1-3 up top?

O-Trap;1856276 wrote:That's on coaching, but given the number of rebounds that guards ended up with, I still think he was one of the biggest disappointments. 0 points, 2 assists, and 4 total rebounds on 22 minutes. WTF is that?

sleeper;1856279 wrote:They are just stuck in mediocrity. The core is a lot of big names that are probably overpaid and it seems every time the playoffs come around they end up losing someone to injury. I really think they need to blow it up and start over. There isn't a piece they can add that's going to put them up with the Rockets much less take on the Warriors or Spurs so something needs to be done differently.

The fact that they did win bought the Cavs another year, showing that they were capable of winning this year. Durant was not part of the equation though. If the Cavs don't win it this year and KD stays in Oakland, I don't see the Cavs winning another with this group, as assembled. Also keep in mind that Dan Gilbert doesn't seem to be in any rush to resign David Griffin and Griffin is a big reason they won a championship last year.

The cavs winning last year bought the cavs another year? Like what the hell does that even mean?

Gilbert isn't in a rush to sign David griffin? According to who? The same sources that said TT and Kardashian are having a baby?

Lebron James is 1-7 in NBA final game 1's..if you're making statements like "if Durant stays in Oakland the cavs will never beat them" then you are grossly overreacting to 1 game.
