I'd say it is the other way around. GSW are playing pretty poorly and are still up 9 and it could be more minus the beasting of Thompson on the offensive glass.

Warriors put up 46 points and then went cold with 5-6 minutes to go. They should be up more. Nothing is uglier, basketball wise, when they clank shots for long stretches. Something that's been common these playoffs and why they've been vulnerable.

I have GSW in 5. If klay or steph start hitting shot, this game is a blow out. Cavs gotta at least feel good they are still in it at this point :lol:

Cleveland needed to capitalize more during that stretch. You simply have to be hot from the field when they go through cold stretches like that.

Yeah, I don't see this going 6. GS looking awful but still have Cleveland where they want them. GS are going to take both games at Oracle IMO, the question is going to be how the Cavs respond at home.

Role players on Cleveland need to step up if they want to win the series. We're seeing solid play out of Lebron / Irving / Love but it ends there. TT has been rebounding but everyone else has been a non-factor.

The Warrios, on the other hand, are having guys rise to the occasion. Livingston / Bogut / Iggy / Barbosa / Barnes all had a solid first half. Curry and Thompson were uncharacteristically quiet, but I expect those guys to pick it up.

I would love to see the Cavs win but it ain't happening. Dubs have enough depth and good defense to win game's when steph and Klay aren't playing up to standards. If Lebron doesn't come out like a bulldozer this game is already out of hand.

Cavs should be looking at trading Love as soon as they can

I hope thats the last time PP does any sort of basketball analysis. A ten year old could have provided us something more constructive.

He was straight to the point, said he called it from before.. whoever limits turnovers will be in better shape.

he also said how cavs should be worried, curry/thomp didn't get going and there is a chance one of them or both might get going.

I've supported the Cavs since May 27th 2016... I'm so disappointed in that half #livelong
