I told a buddy last night, it was 9 against 4. The referees obviously called that game in GS's favor, with a particularly large number of horrible calls in what seemed to be the deciding moments of the game, and JR was playing for GS as well (obviously, not intentionally). He was just horrendous the entire game and seemed like he was sleep walking out there, and the defensive effort on his part was embarrassing. Glad we were able to walk out of there with a W.

Probably over $100 per ticket.

Depends where you want to sit, but I don't know if you can plan on spending any less than $350/ticket.

It almost seemed as if he was not feeling well.

It's funny, because before we won, they were down to like $260

It's not even about the singular loss; it's about taking the splash brothers out of their rhythm entirely. I think the Warriors get blown out in the next 2 games.

There won't be any blowouts in this series, sleeper. The only way GS gets blown out is if their reserves play the entire 4th quarter and we leave our starters in. Otherwise, they score too quickly and shoot too well to get blown out (which, IMO, means 20+ points).

Definitely felt slanted against the Cavs especially in the final moments.

Bottom line: The Cavs did what they needed to do and that was steal one in Oracle Arena. GSW won't get those calls in Cleveland and the pressure is now on them to win one there.

Disagree. Last night would have been a blowout if JR wasn't a moron and the refs called a balanced game AND that was at GSW.

I'm glad they got the "W" after almost pissing it away but right now we should be talking "will the Cavs sweep" if they hadn't blown game 1. Gotta get the next two at home. Won't be easy.

Check vet tix. They continuously have loge tickets for all series for free. I received some for the Bulls series but had to turn them down cause it was last minute.

Cavs in 5 is certainly very realistic. I would be highly worried if I'm a Warriors fan because I think the Cavs are sitting pretty at this point.

My biggest concern, at this point, is them running out of gas. Moz is the only one who has had "vacation" time (less than 30 minutes played). I know that LBJ is a thoroughbred but these overtime games have to be taking somewhat of a toll.

Assuming they take two at home, I'd have no issue with them winning in 5. Winning in 6 would be sweet for the home fans but if they can put them away in 5, dance all over Oracle Arena for all I care. I just want a banner in C-Town. If/when this happens I know I'll a) cry like a little bitch and then b) probably die.

Not so sure about the running out of gas thing. Had a week off since the last series and they get at least 1 day in between, and 2 days when they need to travel. If the Cavs had gone 7 in the ECF and GS went 4-5 then maybe.
James is going to just completely take over and if guys can hit some shots like last night, they can actually do it but if they go cold I dont see how they can win it with James all by himself

My comment had more to do with the Warriors depth and how they'd be able to give their players a blow more so than the Cavs.

I'm still sticking with Cavs in 6, but after the way the first 2 games went I could see the Cavs knocking it out in 5. No doubt you'll be crying like a bitch because this team has 2015 Champion written all over it.

Correct; it was a Sunday. He has a history of not feeling well on Sundays.

He better pull his head out of his rear and be ready this week; LBJ can't carry him anymore.

Go Cavs!

Not true. Cavs play at home Tuesday. Essentially the only time they'll get 2 days is Thursday-Sunday. They want to maximize TV viewers so they avoid Friday-Saturday nights.

You are right, but I was also correct.

They are three two night breaks in the series.

Ultimately it is for tv viewership no doubt, but two of those breaks do occur when they are changing sites.

I could see Kerr trimming back his rotation.
