Pound them inside, force them to go big, and Cavs take this one in 6.

Going big for GS just means playing Bogut or Ezili, which we do anyway most of the time now that Speights is hurt. We don't go bigger than that. Green will be PF.

Klay Thompson has a concussion. So assuming he misses significant time, it looks like the situation is much more even. It's anybody's game. Rooting hard for Cleveland.

Glad we're the under dogs in this series, takes a lot of pressure off us. We need to keep playing extremely physical basketball, since that's what kept us from losing games. Hopefully Blatt plays the Kyrie/Smith/Shump/Bron/TT lineup. Make them play our half court basket ball.

The Land vs The Golden Boys

Make this series a tough and gritty half court game and we win.

I want them healthy, because I don't want to hear no excuses

Would you have excuses if LeBron would not play? It is sad for any team missing a good player, but you have nothing to do with his injury .You have a valid point. Thanks for wanting them healthy as I see you are a good and fair supporter.
May the best team win.

In a perfect world everyone on both teams would be totally healthy. But it's not a perfect world and the Cavs are at a significant disadvantage with Love injured. If both teams are missing one of their key guys, then neither team has an excuse...

At the 12:10 Mark, David Blatt: Andy Varejao? That would be lovely, that would be great!
Reporter: Is it Realistic?
David blatt grinning: I don't know, stranger things have happened.

If the Cavs when the chip this year the narrative will be "The Warriors weren't at full strength" or "The entire NBA is weak"
We have been the underdog since Love went down but it seems like Cavaliers never get credit.

Sorry for the rant. Good luck to your Warriors and may the best team win.

Jealousy is part of the prize. Embrace it.

I'd rather beat them when they're not full strength than lose to them when they are.

nobody will even remember Love was injured couple years from now.

Has Andy been practicing at all? I mean is he even close to in game shape?

Not sure, but I'd sub him into game 3 regardless for about 4-5 minutes just for the crowd reaction alone :nod:

On an unrelated note, the wade situation sure has gotten interesting. Got to think it irks him that his bff is still playing in the finals while he took a reduced contract to play on a lotto team. Things could get interestig again like last off season.

He'd want a lot more money than we can give and i think he's pretty sour on Dan Gilbert even though Lebron has forgiven him.

Doubt he leaves miami. They owe him a decent contract though considering how much money he opted out of this season in hope of resigning lebron.
