I don't understand why GSW are not helping off of Mozgov and Thompson more.

Apparently offensive fouls don't count against James either.

We're complaining about physical play? Celtics fans? Really. This is awesome.

Wow this is pathetic. James is throwing elbows every time he touches the ball down low, and the refs are calling fouls on gsw...

Iman Shumpert saved this game in my opinion for the Cavs.  It just felt like the Warriors were getting primed for a big run, but Shumpert knocked down two huge 3s to keep the momentum at bay.

Regardless though, through one half of basketball, it only fortifies my opinion that the Warriors SHOULD win this series.

All from a run?  Of course they'll go on a run but that first half was pretty much all Cavs with their incredible defense and it should tell you that Cavs win win this series

The defense of Cleveland has been great all playoffs, no doubt.  But they've also had to play against an under .500 Celtics team, an offensively challenged Bulls team that gave up on their coach, and a Hawks team with no real stars that happened to be missing their best shooter for the majority of the series.

This is the first time all playoffs where I'd say their defense is truly tested.  And more often than not, on an individual level, great offense beats great defense.  And I just think these Warriors are too lethal offensively and just good enough defensively for the Cavs to stop them.  We already saw it, the Warriors can get down by 10+ points and in the blink of an eye can get it back to a single possession.

LeBron having a LeBron game. 27-3-3.

Wait until he unleashes his good (30-7-5) or superhuman game (40-10-11)!

LeBron's stamina and focus has been amazing in this game. Cleveland running everything through him. Iso after iso. Still has fresh legs. Wearing down multiple GSW defenders. Competing in all facets of the game too. Not just saving himself for offense.

Don't hate. This is big time basketball not for the faint of heart.

Great play by Iggy.  That's two dunks now to finish a quarter.  Huge plays.

I'm all for physical play, it just has to be consistent. You can't tell me if Iggy did that to James it would have been the same call.

Iggy is my favorite bench guy in the league, maybe.

b-b-b-b-b-ut that Cavs' defense, though!  ::) ::) ::)

Perhaps making bold proclamations after 15 minutes of play isn't the safest strategy.

Cleveland shot 19-44 and Golden State shot 19-45 that half. Such a "bold proclamation" to suggest that the Cavs can match up defensively.  You know, like the stats have said all along about them this postseason. ::) ::) ::) ::)

No no no, let's not confuse what you've been arguing the last several days. Nobody said they couldn't matchup defensively against them, everybody has been arguing against your claims of the Cavs being some historically good defense and having a "tougher" road to the Finals than the Warriors, which is absolutely absurd.

And, again, let's not act like the Warriors haven't been shooting themselves in the foot. They've played a half-quarter of good basketball so far, and it's a 5 point game.

No, no, no, let's not confuse what *I've* been arguing versus what the article said; re-read what I actually said before falsely attributing things to me. What I said was that the Finals going to be a lot closer than anyone predicted because Cleveland had been playing noticeably better in the playoffs; I then cited an article that supported what my eye test had been showing me, including some details on their league-best defense against the three-pointer in the playoffs.

And, again, let's not act like this is a close game solely because the Warriors have messed up.  Both teams are good offensive and defensive teams, hence why it's a tie game with the fourth quarter about to start.

Should have started the game at the 3rd quarter .
