Even if the Cavs win Game 4 by 30 I don't really see them winning a game in Oakland.

My friend just pointed out the Warriors haven't won a game 3 this post-season, so this should have been a loss we were all expecting.

Classic and predictable let down game from the Warriors.

Will there be a single close game in this series?

This will be over in five.

I hope this has more to do with Cleveland fighting for their life as opposed to effective adjustments.

Game 4 should be close.

I hope so. A fourth quarter with the game in question would be nice to see once more before the season ends.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
They were much more aggressive on both ends which put GSW on the back foot.

JR Smith is the X Factor for the Cavs. If he can hit at least 3 or 4 three's a game, it's going to go 6 or 7 games.

Just going to be very hard to beat GSW at home.

2 things that got the Cavs the big win tonight were the 2 things that won them the East: (other than Lebron being aggressive on offense and looking to score).

1) smothering defense and ball pressure, letting Green shoot as many threes as he wants.
2)excellent three point shooting and ball movement to find the open 3 point shooter.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.

The Cavs are a good team and they showed some pride.

Golden State knows that they can beat this Cavs team whenever they want so they took their feet off the gas pedal, so to speak.

I'm not so sure that it's a case of GSW winning whenever they want. The Cavs D took Curry and Thompson out of the game, and Lebron put continual pressure on them.
Cavs strength all year has been perimeter D and three point shooting and tonight they finally showed that.
The Warriors are going to have to really earn this one.
