I wouldn't call 8 turnovers invisible.

They all look defeated. You can see the seed of doubt has been planted in a lot of these guys' heads. It's still first to 4, a lot of ball to be played, but this isn't looking good for Cleveland.

GSW has so many interchangeable parts, Cavs can't force the same mismatches they're used to exploiting.

I really think the only way Cavs get anything going here is if LeBron goes beast mode and carries them scoring wise. But that'll steal them a game or 2 at best. Other guys gotta make shots to actually win. Your not gonna beat Golden State shooting 25% from 3. You can't keep up.

Another playoff blowout...this has to be some sort of record. It feels like the 1st round had the closest games.

Love in the locker room begging the training staff to diagnose him with a concussion so he doesn't have to be a part of this.

If the Cavs lose in 4 or 5, Lebron is signing with Toronto in the summer and I'm only half kidding. We're his only hope to get that ring. He loves the fans, loves the city and is buds with Drake. Stranger things have happened.

It's really too bad our guys were totally gassed for that series. This Cavs team is not on the tier of teams like OKC, the Spurs, or the Warriors. Fully rested, it would have been interesting to see what would have happened.

If only LeBron kept Wiggins. At least then there would be some defence.

So if Cleveland isn't in the first tier of NBA Basketball, does that mean we are in the 3rd tier? Golden State is clearly in a class of their very own.

Such a boring finals. OKC/GS was the real finals.
