Worst game I've seen from Curry. I guess Golden State's only solace is that they were in a position to win regardless. LeBron can and will do whatever he wants without fail.

The referees were bad, but I still remember the last few minutes of Miami vs OKC G2. Or Boston vs. Miami G2.  :(

Heck of a win by the Cavs.  Gotta give them credit.  Honestly though, it still wouldn't surprise me if the Warriors win 3 straight now.  Given that Cavs roster, there's no way they can last playing that hard of defense for a full 7 game series and not get burned out by the end.  Plus, the Warriors really showed me something with the way they destroyed the Grizzlies after getting down 2-1.  But again, all the props to Cleveland.  Gutsy gutsy win.

Can't help, given the score, to immediately think back to that Speights missed dunk.

The Speights missed dunk, and Livingston's "goaltend."

I have no idea how GSW lost this one, lol...CLE just smacked GSW in the mouth.

Series could very well be 3-1 CLE by end of week.

GSW should've won this one....time to look in the mirror GSW.

If LeBron/CLE can pull this series out, LeBron will make my top 15 players list of all time...He will edge so close to top 10.

You don't?  I have no idea how they even got it into overtime.  They played like complete crap the entire game.  Launching stupid shots and going away from what makes them a great team in the first place.  They lucked out on some stupid JR Smith fouls down the stretch.

Golden State still wins in 6.  They're very much capable of going into Cleveland and winning one or even both games.  I don't think we'll see them play worse than they did tonight.

As bad as Curry's overall game was (most missed 3 pointers in NBA Finals history) he still hit a couple of vital baskets to force OT.

I think he'll go off for 30 points in game 3. Delly restricted him well tonight but will be extremely difficult to do it twice in a row.

Yeah as bad as the Warriors played. The game STILL went into overtime I mean you couldn't played as worse but somehow it went into overtime. Don't hand the Cavs the trophy yet.

I think the Warriors will bounce back, no way Steph Curry will shoot this poorly again.

He seems to do poorly .....against the Cavs defensive scheme ......designed to shut his three point barrages down.

If he and Kerr don't find a way to get him the type of looks he needs ....I think he ll continue to shoot poorly .......they seem to have found his Achilles heal

Yet it still went into overtime..... regardless of Curry's bad game.

I don't know. Lebron got a triple double, but he was very inefficient while doing it (under 30% I believe), and he made several bad turnovers/missed shots at the end. Definitely seemed like he was getting wore down. Those numbers are probably what to expect of him the rest of the way. Big stats but inefficient due to fatigue.

I dunno, it seems like there is over reaction in both directions here.  Yes Cavs played with some heart after losing KI and LBJ was out of his mind, but GS just played poorly on O.  If Kerr can get them to regain their calm a bit and adjust to the tough Cavs D, I expect almost all of these games are going to be close.  But GS threw up too many poor shots and that kind of let the cavs off the hook at times on D.

LBJ was doing it all, but I don't see how the Cavs are going to win the series if every off poss is LBJ isolation.  The Cavs need someone else to step up if they are going to win the series.  Tonight Mosgov played well, but you can't expect James to throw up 39/16/11 and have them win on his will alone every night.  Or at least I don't think you can.

Golden State should also utilize more creative footwork when posting up or driving to the basket.  Seems to get Mozgov and LeBron some extra points.

Exactly.  It wasn't a really great recipe for the cavs going forward.  But when he literally plays 50 min and is literally the only weapon on off for the cavs that is what is going to happen.  A lot of missed shots at the end of the game for James, but cavs have no where else to turn.  It was amazing that they pulled that game out.
