Supporting cast is so bad, Warriors have other players who can make impact plays, Cavs don't, pretty simple.

Harrison Barnes blows, but he out-hustled us on multiple occasions.

And his D doesn't even matter when Curry is hitting shots like that.

I think Love isn't a huge loss, but Kyrie gives the Cavs another incredible offensive "go offer" on the floor. It would make the scoring binges for Smith, Mozgov and others that much more effective. It's just evident that when the Warriors bring Barbosa, Iguodala, Livingston and even Lee, their options 5-8 are not awful offensively. They can all move the ball and get it to someone in a position to score.

The Cavs stayed in it tonight with more grit and toughness. Same in the first 3 games. Offensive boards, defensive stops, making free throws. LeBron is going to get his, but he's also going to miss 20+ shots every night and the refs can't call enough fouls because he's so physical driving every time.

I don't seem to see the refs calling fouls much at all when he gets fouled.

Love is absolutely a huge loss, Tristan has no offense and clogs the paint, look how hard it is for Lebron to drive to the rim. There is no spacing out there even with the small lineup.

Wrong.

They wouldn't be able to go small if Kevin Love was still available. Why everyone continues to discredit Love is beyond me.

Love and Kyrie are huge losses. That said, cleveland would still be an underdog against this team. I'd just like our chances a lot more with them.

Love is one of our best floor spacers. To say he's not a huge loss is idiotic. He's only 16 and 10 every night with 1-2 threes. No big deal.

Has nothing to do with the city, did they win with homegrown talent? This isn't college.

I'm not saying Love isn't a loss, but the Cavs played 2 series without him. They played well. Even very well in a few of those games. They could have won this series without him, especially against Golden State. That was my point. I'd rather have Kyrie in this series over Love (obviously you would want both...).

You're discrediting just how terrible the East is. If they played in the west, they don't make it to the semis without love.

Agreed. Losing Kyrie is a bigger loss.

Not sure how the Cavs can win this series. The refs continuously swallowing their whistles is extremely frustrating.

Yeah the west is so good that the 67 win warriors can barely beat the Cavs without Love, Kyrie and Varejao. GS should hand Cleveland the trophy, embarrassing to be struggling against THIS Cavs team.

Just because LeBron has good genes and has worked his tail off in the weight room shouldn't mean that he doesn't get the same calls as Draymond, Klay, and Iguodala. It's getting really freaking old.
THIS. Also, the NBA needs to have the refs learn how to call a moving screen. The Warriors are grabbing legs, jerseys, arms, legs, as well as moving and we get what, one moving screen call all game?

I can't believe that Draymond and Klay get the same call that Lebron doesn't, no respect.

Golden State had the fortune of playing against hurt teams all playoffs. The west is hands down better than the east. GS is +25 against Cleveland not with back to back double digit wins. Don't make it something it's not.
