Cleveland Cavalier 2017-2018 Season

I wish really bad things on curry.  I hope he gets caught cheating on his wife or something.

Curry sticks his own foot out and falls and Love gets the foul lol 

When I’m commissioner this will result in a $100,000 fine for the shooter. Shit is embarrassing and it fools the refs (I assume) all the time 

Could/should be 1-1 Finals right now.  Cavs get game 1, no telling how different this game could have been either.  My guess is it would have been a 30 point blow-out at half...

Shoulda coulda woulda. They got dicked over in game one so instead of coming out angry they played lazy and lost by 19. JR Smith, the idiot from game one had another shitty night but what else is new. They gave up about a hundred points on the P&R. I'll kind of give them a pass on Curry because he had a night where he was basically unguardable but they gave him plenty of great looks anyways. Another countless example of why Ty Lue should be shown the exit as soon as possible. I wouldn't give a shit if it was tonight.

I think you forget that the warriors ARE a better team than the Cavs. That game 1 was the time to steal a win in GS. The warriors are going to destroy us in a couple games, and there’s nothing we can do. Getting dicked over in game 1 was just crushing. 

Tonight I don’t blame the Cavs players.  GS just played better and aren’t going to lose to anyone playing like that, especially at home. 

Gotta win games 3 and 4.

I'm not forgetting anything. I know they're better. Their third best player is Klay Thompson. Our third is....fuck if I know. Do we even have a third best player. They had the blueprint for potentially winning game one. Tonight they regressed back to poor defense, shooting, and coaching which has plagued them for a lot of the playoffs. It was particularly discouraging considering how pissed they should have been. The Warriors are a better team but it's not like the Cavs showed any tremendous effort tonight, which is pretty sad considering it's game two of the finals.

McGee and Livingston combined for 11/11 FG

I just don’t agree with you at all. Everyone on their team played well. We actually played well enough to be in single digits in the 4th. This game wasn’t on the cavs or their effort. 

JR was beyond awful tonight and I am soooooo sick of even seeing Jordan Clarkson out there.  That dude is a scrub, I don't care what his stats were before he came to Cleveland.

Also, every time we play GS, it seems like Shawn Livingston forgets how mediocre he is supposed to be.

I think it is time to put Hood out there. JR Smith can GFH.

Celtics series - 47 shots.  ZERO assists.

I was telling my friend I wish the Cavs kept him on the roster a long time ago just for the purpose of keeping him off the GSW roster.  It's incredible how he turns into a 10x all star vs the Cavs.

In his last 101 minutes, he has 1 more assist than you and I. 

Researcher from The Ringer:

Serious question: Does Clarkson think the LeBron-Jordan debate is about him

Not shocked at last night's outcome. As has already been said, JR can GFH. He's already checked out of this series. Surprisingly, I do expect the league (i.e. refs) to throw them a bone in Game 3, which they will win, and then get closed out in 5.

Classic Warriors: Perkins is going to hurt someone by casually sitting on the sidelines. 

Classic ESPN: "multiple Warriors" were bothered, but Curry and Perkins wouldn't comment, and all Green said was that Curry went off after the fact. 

Surprisingly, I haven't been disappointed in Kevin Love's play in these Finals. He has shown up and has done what's asked of him 20+PPG/10+RPG. Too bad there's not much else helping them although Hill wasn't horrible last night.

Agreed. I’m actually not discouraged at all with their play. Lebron is playing out of his mind and Love and others are showing up. You knew the warriors were going to have a game that the Cavs wouldn’t be able to compete (G2). And they were going to have a game we could steal (G1) that we just weren’t able to do. Im disappointed it’s not 1-1 but not disappointed in their play (outside of JR and Clarkson—they can pound sand)

What’s actually encouraging is the warriors shot lights out and yet the Cavs had it in single digits in the 4th. Livingston and stupid fuck McGee and west won’t play that well in Cleveland. Game 3 is very winnable as is game 4. Outside of blowing game 1. I really think the Cavs have played pretty good.

Love was actually pretty good against them in the regular season. I think they need just one more superstar to have a realistic chance against these guys. That and unbiased refs.

Random question: Who was the douche who claimed to know more about basketball because he watched a lot of it and just claimed to understand more than anyone else here? 

SQ? Seemed to be his general M.O.
