If Warriors keep playing like this, they'll lose the series lol.

if the Cavs keep playing like this, Kevin Love better pack his bags.

But finally, a #1 seeded East team is showing why they are the #1 seeded team lol.

Warriors looked embarrassing tonight.

One of the big takeaways from tonight - -  LeBron should really start at power forward more often.

Imagine if the Cavs could trade Love for a couple average wings.

Cleveland's starters scored 107 of their 120 and most of that before the bench took over in garbage time. Will the Warriors allow that to happen again?

People have been saying that for the past two years... that LeBron should be their big in the same way Draymond is Golden State's big.

I'd still be open to moving Bradley for Love.  Sounds like we're going to get another guard in the draft.

Or great wings like: Jae Crowder or maybe Avery Bradley.

Steph's clearly not healthy again. Or something.

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 doubt Cavs will give up game 4 without a fight.

Yeah, maybe somebody like Wiggins.

Please god let this happen so that he'll finally have to expend energy on the glass, which is why he has been against moving there full time, iirc, in addition to the fact that he still has bounds of quickness to guard 1-3.  The toll on his body would be too much and he might actually start to break down if he's forced to control the backboards on a nightly basis.  Heaven forbid that he actually partake in servants' work (sarcasm) .  He's just like Kareem that way.  Big games aside, his attitude towards rebounding has always seemed to be, to me, at least, "don't we have people for this?"

All we have to do now is get guys who can actually play in the pivot to make him really expend energy down there, and perhaps even get him in foul trouble . Muahahaha I cannot wait. *grabs popcorn*

[Moranis]

Did anyone really not expect the Cavs to come out on fire last night?  Then the Warriors went on a nice run and made it close before the Cavs exploded again in the second half.  Game went pretty much like expected.  Game 4 will be the interesting one.  Can the Cavs maintain that offensive intensity and improved defensive effort (from everyone).  I expect Cleveland to win game 4 in a closer game and even the series up.

And I personally think the Cavs get better mismatches with James starting at SF, but playing more of the PF role offensively.  It creates a huge defensive mismatch for most teams with Thompson, Love, and James as the frontline.

It seems as if Kevin Love needs to come off the bench. Having Richard Jefferson out there helped the Cavs match GSW's quickness. Plus, K Love can provide some stability for the offensively inept bench of Cleveland.
