What the hell is Bron doing? They are doing good job doubling him but he's been extremely careless with the ball.

Unless Bron puts the team on his back they are not winning. Also, somebody stop leaving Green open.

Very Game 7ish feel as expected. Low scoring, bunch of mistakes, strange plays.

1-14 from 3 won't cut it. They need to start hitting them. Really think this is bad news for the Cavs. Think as the away team you need to be up at the half in a game 7. Hopefully they can turn it around.

I think you would want Green shooting the 3 and not Curry or Klay.

Green's been shooting much better than Klay tonight.

There have been defensive breakdowns leaving Green open. It's not a Curry/Klay or Green situation.

Cavs are generating great looks and obviously you want Draymond shooting these shots, but...

Really hope TT's foul situation stays under control. He needs to be on the court for the Cavs to have any hope.

Neither team is getting much out of their role players right now.

I don't like the small lineup for Cleveland (no TT). LeBron was disrupted a couple times badly by Green in that half. And his jumper has not been "on" yet -- that and a couple bad passes made for a rough half (despite the raw stats). But with that, and GS hitting so many open shots, CLE is lucky to be down 7.

JVG's right too -- Cleveland's also getting into their offensive action incredibly slowly in the half court. Wonder if those things can change in the 2nd half. All that said, I thought Cleveland needed at least an 8 point lead going into the 4th given their short bench, so [shines the LeBron signal into the sky].

Cleveland has more turnovers, so not strictly true.

Pathetic from Cavs. Bron overcompensating for the ocassion. Stripping down his game to pass/drive to keep things simple/calm nerves. But efficiency aint gunna cut it. Expect him to dial it up 2nd half.
