Pretty one-sided calls going on here...

Irving showing that criticism against Bradley and Smart's defense (against Irving, specifically) are unwarranted.  Klay Thompson does as good a job as anyone in the NBA guarding Irving.  But good offense beats good defense.  Klay managed to neutralize him in games 1 and 2, but there's only so much you can do when a player of Kyrie's talent has it going.

Smart hardly defended Irving. I think that was one of Brads bigger mistakes in game 4.

Yep. Harder to make shots when your down in the 4th.

Unless your named Durant.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

lets see if Lebron has the balls to take this final shot.

I imagine it will be Kyrie.

That is a "that's right, we win or lose on me" kind of a shot by KD.

Then followed up by excellent defense by Klay Thompson.

Insane...

Lol and Lebron loses it for Cleveland! Got away with a blatant ball slamming technical, too!
