Man if we were playing the Warriors.. We're probably losing a game by 70  :P

I mean we lost to Cleveland by 30+ in two games.

Celtics would
True which is why keeping AB could be key. He can guard Curry and Thompson the best on this team. He's our best bet at least there.

I thought so but Kyrie destroyed him

Warriors are incredible.

Cavs are not a team. Just a bunch of individuals wearing the same clothes.

This is how this GS team lost the series last year - dumb, careless turnovers. It's one of the reasons it's hard at time to watch these guys. They're just careless with the ball.

That and those dumb long pull-up threes like that.

This crap of Lebron driving to the hoop, and slapping the defenders hand away as he drives should be called an offensive foul.

Seriously. He's been straight up swatting hands away, just like on that last drive.

LeBron actually looks tired.  He's been expending tons of energy driving to the hoop.  As opposed to when he played against us, he never looked like he was even breathing hard.

Yeah this isn't basketball it's high level street ball. Watching Curry pass up layups and take deep 3's is a joke. I don't care how good a shooter he is.

Warriors will take over in the 2nd half. Lebron will tire out.

Stop hating.... the defenders should not be touching him. Its a non-contact sport.

Agree with all of the above.  Watching, but can't really get into it.  Warriors are absolutely incredible, and because of it, just get lazy.  Cavs don't even remotely resemble a team, just a dictatorship lead by LBJ.  And his offensive fouls are ridiculous.  Aside, Love also doesn't get the respect he deserves by CLE.

This is the way I feel a lot of the time watching the NBA over the last 2-3 years.
