Warriors score 55 in the first 3 and score 36 in the fourth. Smh. Warriors may win game 4, hell they may win the series, but in all honesty it should be 3-0 Cavs right now. Cleveland has been by far the better team so far. Why would anyone expect it to change?

It could have also been G.S. 2-0 Jason.

Yes the Cavs have looked better over all though

U right. But like u said and the point I was making is that the Cavs just look better and seem to be the better team. But when gambling is involved, anything can happen.

What this series has really showed me is how little effort Cleveland put towards playing defense in the regular season. Warriors one of the best offenses in the league and Cleveland has pretty much shut them down. Cleveland was horrible on defense in the regular season.

Cavs are playing better. GS did cut a 17 pt lead down to 1. Cavs aren't the better team, but they are playing better.

Barnes was a huge disappointment. I thought he would be a factor and he was anything but. On the phone with a buddy during 3Q, I said they should put Lee in the game. They needed a big body and a player that can shoot mid range and near bucket. I would expect more Lee Thursday night.

Green needs to quit complaining about every freaking call. I love his intensity, but he needs to accept the calls. It plays a part in not getting 50/50 calls later.

Matt D was great, dare I say he was the difference? Lebron will be Lebron, but getting 20 from Delly along with the energy/hustle plays was huge.

Frustrating to see my guys look so inept for 3 quarters. Hopefully they can take some positives from the late outburst for Game 4. I think Game 4 decides the series. JMO

Cleveland up a game with home court advantage and with a home game left to play and golden st are still favorites in the series. Golden st might blow out cleveland in game 4 if it wasn't rigged. They have possibly the best finals of all time. It will go 7 games.

I was just talking to my friend and I remembered something.... has the leading scorer of an NBA champion EVER been a Point Guard?!?!?!???!????

To my knowledge, no.

I am starting to not understand Steph Curry and believing he may be choking here and he can go home and play with his little daughter and forget about it all.

From a basketball players standpoint(which I am) when you get a big man on a switch, why try to shoot over him? your big man is pulled out of the lane...pass the ball! But, that is where his leading scorer mentality as a point guard comes into play. I don't like it. If Golden St wants to win game 4 like I expect them to do...all Steph Curry needs to do is be a play maker like he usually is. Stop trying to outshoot Cleveland even though you know you can, that is playing right into the hands of Cleveland who play up tight and physical and great on the boards. It is all about adjustments and it is a lot easier to adjust when you are playing in the same arena in back to back games rather than switching venues. That is why this series is far from over. This is desperation time for the Warriors and they usually play well in that spot. I honestly want Cleveland to win it all though.

This seriously needs to be looked at. I really don't think there ever has been one. Magic Johnson in those years? maybe?

I'm with you...except for the last sentence.

I thought we would see more driving off the dribble tonight. When you have guys up on you, especially slower ones, put it on the deck and drive.

What I keep getting back to is this...Cleveland is playing great, and GS isn't. Yet, every game is a toss up. Matt D was the X factor tonight. Cavs deserve to be 2-1. Waiting to see the Dubs I've watched all year long.

Tony Parker in 2007 and 2014 against the Cavs as well

no you are missing my point. not the pg leader in the finals. That is too short of a span. for the season man.

It is hard to do. Most teams where their point guard is their leading scorer throughout the regular season never win it all.

Magic Johnson was 6"8 or whatever in all fairness.

1987 Magic then

yup. You are from Cali... did he do it any other years besides that one?

Looks like 87 was his highest scoring season PPG wise in his career. at 23.9
