Too little too late now. Warriors had a chance when it was down to 15 but then left JR open for 3 and then the Cavs went on a run.

Kevin Love is the best assistant coach in the NBA.

Maybe we don't want Love....Cavs seem a lot better without him, I mean they are at home now but...would hate to give up AB, Smart, or Crowder. I know we can't keep everyone but, I feel like guys like that are the kind guys you need to win a championship.

Wouldn't surprise me if Delly concusses Kevin Love in his sleep after this. Lebron approved of course.

Gotta hand it to RJ, he's really turned back the clock.

This doesn't look good for Kevin Love at all. Wouldn't play him much in Game 4.

Put it this way after this game, I wouldn't be surprised if Steve Kerr tells the Warrior players that their is a $100,000 fine for any player that hits Kevin Love on the head or injures him.

The quickness in his first step baffles me, almost seems faster than I ever noticed before.

We still have to consider that they are in Cleveland where the Cavs have been unbeaten in the playoffs.

GS stopped moving the ball and started dribbling too much. I would need to watch this game again to figure out if Cleveland was doing something differently on defense or if the Warriors just beat themselves.

The thing CLE was doing differently was trying really hard. (and I mean it - kudos to them and I'm glad if we have a series)

I would prefer it if Adam Silver put up a $100,000 reward to anyone willing to shave Iman Shumpert's head. The guy is such an attention whore but doesn't have enough game to get the spotlight, so he resorts to 3 hairstyles in 3 games. FOH with that BS.

Man, it's weird, the guy is just probably not a winning player. As some1 wrote he's David Lee, when you look at his stats, you're like this guy is a star, then when he's on the court, his team is getting bashed... He just can't play defense and the fact he's limited offensively by the way the Cavs' team is built, makes it even worse. After these series the Cavs will have a pretty tough time getting any value in a Love trade. And he has many years left on his deal... at the max.

KG from 5-6 years ago, would've owned Green's soul. KG is too big, too athletic, too long and too skilled. Green would get abused physically and mentally(verbally).
