Oh yeah, before you starting passive aggressive running your fucking mouth again here let me help you out.

so glad to see the Cavs lose.

LeBron is the Payton Manning of BBall. great player, loses when it truly counts.

REALITY CHECK

All Cleveland has to do now is win 4 of the next 5 against a team that's 86-15. There is one other option......win Game 7 in Oakland.

Teams that won Game 1 by 15 or more Points in NBA Finals History:
Won Series 11
Lost Series 2

LeBron James is now 1-6 in Game One of the NBA Finals and 0-5 on the road. However, James is 4-2 in NBA Finals Game 2's.

NBA Finals Mantra = it’s not a Series until you win a game on the opponent’s floor!

Rested, healthy and ready were the words being used to describe Cleveland before Game One.

 

The Cavs have now lost FOUR NBA Finals Games In A Row!!!!

First Half

LeBron James was 0-4 in the 2nd quarter, didn't take a shot the last 9 minutes while playing the entire quarter.

LeBron's average shot distance in the 1st quarter was 1.8 feet......rest of the Cavaliers averaged 13 feet.

LeBron was just one assists shy of a triple double.

Cavs dominated the First Half rebounding 26-13 and were 9-11 from the FreeThrow line.

Draymond +14
Klay +12
Iguodala +9

LeBron -13
Love -12

13 of the Warriors' first 16 points were scored by Andrew Bogut or Harrison Barnes.

Warriors scoring at the rim was so much easier than any game of the OKC series.


Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry combined for 10 points, their fewest in a 1st half this season (in games which both played)......and GSW were up 9

________________

Cavaliers outscored by six at the 3-point line, and 12 in the paint.

Warriors shot 55% on contested shots, 42% on uncontested shots.

Per EliasSports, Shaun Livingston's 20 points are the most by a GSW reserve in the Finals since Phil Smith's 20 on 5/18/75 (Game 1 vs. WAS)......it was just the 11th time in his NBA career that Shaun Livingston reached the 20-point mark.

Kerr on Andre Iguodala: "He’s a brilliant basketball player. He doesnt get enough credit…he always settles us down & knows exactly what’s happening"



Ervin Magic Johnson: "Cleveland's easy series against Detroit, Atlanta and Toronto did not prepare them to play Golden State." (don't you just love how Magic be trolling the East)

Ervin Magic Johnson: The NBA MVP Steph Curry scored 11pts and Klay Thompson only scored 9pts and the Warriors still won. (and you thought I was kidding about Magic trolling the East)

Never mind the Death Squad, Game One was about the 'Big Bench'

 

Last night, LeBron James passed Robert Horry for most career NBA Finals 3's in NBA history......it took LeBron 34 games to make 57 3's.

By comparison, the Unanimous MVP now has 28 3's in just SEVEN GAMES!!!!!!

 

Mo Williams PLAYED!

Vegas Prop Bets for Game Two

Steph points over/under is 29 tonight......for LeBron it’s 26.
LeBron rebounds and assists is 17.5

Cleveland is +205 or +6 for tonight......Cav's +850 to win the series.

Total made free throws over/under for both Steph and LeBron is five.

Carlos Santana & Cindy Blackman Santana will be performing the Game 2 National Anthem.

That is that folks

will the Cavs be swept?

I failed to check the Vegas SWEPT prices before the series started because who would have thought, but I did check after Game 1 and GSW were +2000 to sweep meaning they only need to win three straight games. I'm guessing the before the series started GSW were +5000.

WOW - I just checked, GSW is now just +250 (massive price drop) to sweep the next two games......Vegas ZERO confidence in Cavs.

Golden State won its 87th game of the season (73 regular season; 14 postseason), matching the NBA record for combined wins (1995-96 Bulls)

Steve Kerr and Phil Jackson are the only coaches in NBA history to win 30 of their first 40 postseason games......the 48 points GSW won by in Games 1 & 2 are the biggest two game margin of victory in NBA Finals History:

 

Coach Kerr: "We did our job. We won our 2 home games. There’s obviously a long way to go. We’re not celebrating." "Our defense was the key to everything tonight."

Ervin Magic Johnson: The Cavs dared Draymond Green to beat them from the 3pt line and that's what he did shooting 5-8 from behind the line and scoring 28pts.

Cleveland shot 14 more free throws and GSW committed turnovers (20), and Cavs still lost by 30

 

 

Tyronn Lue went with the ‘what’s the worst that can happen’ lineup and ran it for 9 full minutes.

Draymond scored a game-high 28 points, the most he's ever scored in a Finals game.

LeBron had 14 of the Cavs 23 2nd Quarter points.

Last team to come back down 0-2 in the Finals = 2006 Miami Heat......teams leading 2-0 are 28-3 in Finals!

LeBron has now lost 7 straight vs. the Warriors, the longest losing streak against any team in his career.

 

It’s June 5th in the NBA Finals and LeBron’s STILL having to talk about the mental stuff with this team.

Three years ago, what odds could you have gotten that Steph Curry wins more NBA titles than LeBron James?

We all need to take a moment to credit Portland and the OKC Thunder for how well they played against the Death Squad Monster.

The Death Squad Monster that GSW has built are entering an unprecedented 2-year period where the cap will rise 70%.

This series is gonna make for an even more interesting offseason. No way the Cavs come back with this same big 3......will LeBron want another Coach?

[Bytor Peltor]

Word is KD and JH have been spending lots of time together.

 

(just for fun)

 

I highly doubt this happens, but if it does......ESPN will be the last to admit / report it!

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

Oh good bytor is posting about rockets again. I was wondering who he will bandwagon next season

[Bytor Peltor]

Halftime of Game 3

 

At the half, Cleveland's 21 points off 10 Golden State turnovers are the most scored by a Warriors opponent in a game this postseason.

LeBron has 11 points on 14 shots in a game they led by 20 at one point is a plus-2......this is bad!

Is Lebron going to be this bad for another half......he isn't finishing at the rim, Draymond is killing him.

2nd Half is starting and I'll soon be leaving for work, but Ill be listening via NBA Radio.

[Bytor Peltor]

Most Games Decided by 25 Points - Single Postseason in NBA History
2015-16 20
2008-09 11

Cavaliers outscored the Warriors 54-32 (+22) in the paint in Game 3.
Cavaliers were outscored by 22 in the paint in Games 1-2 combined.

Kyrie and LeBron take over Game 3 with 62 points

Steph and Klay NOT dealing with adversity all that well.

At some point during the game, the camera zooms in on Coach Kerr who has Luke Walton sitting on his right and Curry on his left. Coach Kerr looking at Walton looks perplexed and almost pissed while Steph just stares off into the Never Never looking cooked, almost unable to catch his breath. Coach Kerr looks at Steph asking, "are you ok?" Credit the Cavs D!

Coach Kerr: “It wasn’t lineups or substitution patterns. We just got our tail kicked.”

Ervin Magic Johnson: "With Cleveland's blowout win tonight, the momentum has swung over to the Cavs."

1st time Cavs have scored 100 points against Warriors in their last 10 games (regular season or playoffs).

 

LeBron James made as many shots outside the paint in the 3rd quarter (4) as he did in the entire series prior to that (3-of-14).

Most 30-point, 10-rebound, 5-assist games, NBA Finals: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar & LeBron James, 7 each

 

 

Pretty amazing how much better JR defends when his shot is falling.



13-0 (including last night) when Cavs have 50 points or plus at half time this postseason.

 

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

Cavs can push it to six or seven if Lebron continues to play the 4. That is how he won in Miami. All his best playoff games have been him at the 4. Unless mozgov and TT are in put Lebron at PF, period. Otherwise its Dubs in 5

[Bytor Peltor]

Wanted to point out that it's been Richard Jefferson who has been making the biggest impact for the Cavs. Jefferson who was 12th on the Dallas Maverick bench is contributing in big ways.

[Bytor Peltor]

Each team won a blowout, and the two games that were close in the third quarter Golden State ended up winning by double digits.


The Brothers finally Splashed combining for 63 points.


Stephen Curry is the first player with 35 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 made 3's in an NBA Finals game.


"The eagle putt on 13 was huge."

 

"Make it 0-3 in the Finals without me"

 

Love Dem Nuts

 

Andrew Bynum started knocking back 40's early in the game......Cavs fans hung over for another year!

Yea, I'm not a beer drinker......anyway, the pic sort of made me sad


Tonight, the Warriors can become the 7th team to beat the same team in a NBA Finals for two straight seasons......the last: 1997-98 Bulls vs Jazz.

With Draymond out tonight and with Klay & Steph having "pedestrian" numbers so far this series, who do you think is the favorite to win Finals MVP?

Thompson
9, 17, 10, 25

Curry
11, 18, 19, 38


Top ten teams in made 3-pointers in a season, seven from the past few seasons.
