So ridiculous. Two moving screens, and Lee fouled Shump AND Delly. Pathetic officiating.

How big is game 4? Teams that hold a 3-1 lead in the NBA finals are 32-0. The Cavs have led after every quarter in every game against GF except after OT in game 1`.

He should have said they haven't been behind at the end of any quarter other than ot loss. Still pretty impressive.

Tell me, fw, how does a team get to overtime if they're ahead after the fourth quarter?

Most probably won't agree with me but I think tonight is "must win" and whoever wins this, wins the series. The reason I say this is that, right now, Golden State isn't giving the perception of a "confident" team. If they steal a win in C-Town, heading back to Oracle, they are going to be super confident. Everyone now seems to be riding high on the Cavs. A loss tonight and the script flips and everyone's riding the Warriors jocks. Must win !

Every game is a must win, and I hope the cavs play desperate like they have the last 3 games, but I also hope they aren't sending spewing the same "we must win this game or we won't win the series" message to the team. Just would be irresponsible to put that much into a game that won't decide the series. You can't really predict this series. I don't think it's some forgone conclusion that the cavs can't win another in oracle arena. They were pretty damn close to being 2-0.

I just don't see the logic some are using here as a must win, because they will be drained by game 6 and 7. What if they win tonight and lose game 5? Somehow winning game 4 prevents them from being drained during game 6.

I highly doubt Blatt or LBJ is sending a "we must win this or we're losing the series" message.

Right now, GS is not playing like a confident team. You beat them tonight and there's a good chance they are going to get demoralized. I like the Cavs chances of winning 1 out of 3, with one game being at home, than 2 out of three with one win being on the road.

I obviously like our chances better if we win, just saying losing game 4 is not the end of the world. So far I would say the Bulls were a grittier team than GSW and the cavs fought thru that. This cavs team has been through a lot of adversity, I don't think a tied series will break them.

Joey Crawford is the head official tonight btw. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing. I hate him as a ref, but apparently lebron has a winning record with him.

He's an awful ref so I hate it. Even though he does favor the stars (minus Duncan lol)

He's the best chance of calling an illegal screen on GS as there is.

True. There are lots of pros and cons with Crawford. I just can't decide if they favor us.

I don't think it favors or hurts us. We'll get a lot of bullshit calls but so will Golden State. That tempo alone should favor us though.

And if they actually call GS for illegal screens it benefits us greatly since that's how their whole offense is ran.

I think one of the "pros" of Joey Crawford is that he doesn't put up with crap. I expect Draymond Green to receive a technical tonight, and probably JR and/or Mozgov as well.

I think the hyperbole of this being a "must win" is pretty darn close. If they win, I see the Cavs at a 80-85% chance of the title, if it goes back to GSW 2-2, I think the odds decrease to 30-35%.

Going into the Bulls series, LBJ was 25-3 with Joey Crawford in the playoffs. 41-50 without.
