Yeah this is why from a basketball perspective I hated KD going to the Warriors. How will they lose when him and Steph play like they did today?

I think you missed my point.  Durant/Curry scored 61 combined.  LeBron/Kyrie/Love scored 67.  That side of the game is pretty even. 

The key was the non-star / bench / role players.  Everyone from GSW chipped in with points, rebounds etc... where as NO-ONE did for the Cav's

It's more than points... Durant's D was amazing and when they're on, they both bend the defence so much that even assists don't show how much defences have to bend, which makes the role players look good.

The Lebron Haters out in full force, never seen a guy criticized soo much for going 28 15 and 8 on 45% shooting.

This warriors team is all time stacked. 4 top 20 players is insane, i had warriors in 5 or 6, I reckon lebron is good enough to take a game or two off them but cant see anyone beating this team.

Cavs secondary players need to lift though. TT Korver Jr and Williams played 88 minutes combined for 3 points.
so now you are gonna ignore turnovers? when you heap and harp on that with Russ?

He did turn it over alot. 6 in the first half when he was actually playing better. Thats too much though but warriors where amazing in this area.

The difference is i called 28 15 8 and 8 TO a pass. So badically a decent game.

So when im critical of westbrook i still call him a top 5 player. Lebron played like a top 5 player in that game. He is better thrn that but im not going to call that game a shocker from lebron and never called westbrook shicking

The 2 reasons the cavs lost

Korver tt deron jr went 1/14 for 3 points in 88 minutes. So thats like basically 2 of 5 players on thr cavs doing nothing.

Warriors had only 4 TO and cavs no steals. Was just too easy fot the warriors to score.

Both those things wont continue.

On the flip side.

Green klay didnt do much and the warriors didnt do much from 3. That will change too

Warriors only scored 0.89 PPP in the half court which shows how much they killed it on defence, had like 10 more deflections and 15 more loose balls won than the Cavs. However the Warriors must have missed at least 10 points worth in shots you'd expect them to hit at least 7/10 times

6 games to go, Warriors won games 1 & 2 last year by 13pts and 33pts. It ain't over...

Most certainly isn't... if the Cavs win that would be an order of magnitude more amazing than last year.

The only reason people think these finals are going to be competitive is because Draymond punched LBJ in the balls last season - he doesn't do that, the Warriors win in 5 and we all expect the same this time round.

And Steph wasn't 100%

That final play by Irving was horrible!

Holz

Not sure how much lebron and irving can do.

Must suck putting up 30 and a tripple double on 60% shooting and be 0-3

Crazy thing is i know people who said westbrook clear mvp and are now calling out lebron.

Lebron basically is doing what westbrook did but 20% better shooting.

RaisyDaisy

Yeah Lebron can't do much more

GS is just ridiculous. Pretty much 4 All-Star/Dream Team starters

Nobody can compete with that

Ppl talking up KD likes he's now the greatest, let's go back 1 season, OKC up 3-1 against the Warriors...give me a break, and I love KD.  ::)
