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.

Yeah, he's looked unstoppable tonight. He's got away with some offensive fouls, but his back-to-the-basket game has been amazing so far.

Through 3 quarters, it feels like the Cavs outplayed the Warriors for about two and a half of them...and yet we're tied going into the 4th.

The 9 day rest might have been the biggest help to Lebron.

Can he keep up this pace the whole series?

That JR Smith 3 to end the half is still fresh in my mind.  Might end up deciding this game.

What sort of career would Lebron and Wade have had if offensive fouls were called on them the same as on other players?

Awful defense from GS to end the half.

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.

And I've repeatedly said that as well, but it seems like you're suggesting that it's all due to the Cavs' defense when it has just as much to do with the Warriors playing badly themselves making unforced turnovers.

This Cavs offense is just as ugly as Houston with all of this iso ball.

Time to sit Leandro's ass on the bench.

I like our old friend Barbosa, but he's killing his team the last three possessions—2 TOs and a wild shot.

Lebron always gets the calls! That's why they called a foul on Iggy there.  ::)

So after what we've seen so far tonight, do you let Lebron go off individually or double him to try and slow him down?

Oh get ready for it.  Lebron iso, Irving iso, repeat.  Maybe throw in an occasional Tristan Thompson offensive rebound.  That's all we're about to see in the final 9 minutes

That was a golden opportunity to get a bit of a cushion while LeBron was on the bench.
