Man, Curry can't make a shot to save his life tonight. Looks like it's gonna be a tied series going into Cleveland.

So excited right now!!!!

Gotta hand it to the Cavs who played great defense yesterday. Kerr needs to figure out how they are going to get Curry free because 3-18 shooting isn't going to cut it in Cleveland.

Why is Stephen, the MVP, walking around court with his head pointing towards the floor?

Kyrie will come out and avg anywhere from 18-22 ppg..they will be fine. No need for me to argue with anyone anymore. Just sit back and watch. If I am wrong, about the Cavs in 6, I will be the first to step up and admit it..until then, let's wait it out for a week

With Kyrie out now, do think the Cavs will still win in 6?

just getting back around to your comment....yes, I do

Their backs are up against the wall now. Kerr better come up with a plan C because plan A and B aren't working right now. It will be a disappointing post season based on the way they played in the regular season. Their defense is doing fine, it's the offense that's the issue.

I was thinking the same.

IMO, do or die tonight. The DUBS need to play "emergency" mode like they did against Memphis and just hit their shots on offense. In the past, if Curry or Clay struggle, Barnes, Green, Livingston and Igoudala have all stepped up with decent points, something they haven't done this series so far.
If the CAVS are giving them the paint, then they should play it and forego the 3 pointers they keep missing. Keep playing good defense and DON'T turn the ball over. I'm gonna be a wreck tonight watching the game.

YES!!!!!!! So they played excellent defense, started small and just ran the court. You could tell the the sped up game affected the way the Cavs played and some were just getting tired from all the running up and down the court. Iguodala stepped up as well as Livingston and Barnes, so as long as they score 101 points plus a game, then SHOULD win with the way the defense hasn't allowed Cleveland more than 100 in a game.
Game 5 at Oracle should be rocking this Sunday!!!!!

What irritates me is that Lebron didn't have to go through concussion protocol after a head injury, yet of course Klay and Stephen did when they both got head injuries. Where's the consistency?

THAT'S RIGHT!!!!! DUBS are tough to beat at home and the CAVS tried to play the Warriors way. And it worked for a few, but when your team relies solely on one player, all that running up and down the court is eventually going to tire them out. Good game Lebron, but you can't score 100 by yourself.
If the Warriors score 101 points, they are likely to win. Hoping that we get it on Tuesday night!!!!!!!!

And right now I have Iguodala as the MVP of the series.

If LBJ has another triple double in the next game and the Cavs still lose, would you be okay with James receiving MVP?

I'd be disappointed if the Cavs lost the series and James winning the MVP. He's the best player in the league for sure, but one man isn't a team and if teams that lose series get the MVP, then IMO that's a disrespect to the players on the winning team. Every team has an MVP and the winning team deserves the honor despite great numbers from an opposition. Does Tom Brady get the MVP for the Superbowl win when his team loses despite having much better statistics than the winning opposing quarterback? Or a great pitcher pitching a perfect game a couple of times, yet his team loses the series?

That's why I was asking. I do disagree, but I see the point you're making. My thinking is just that if you're declaring the Most Valuable Player, GS can change out 2 or 3 players who have been the most valuable for their team. If you take LBJ off of the Cavs, this series ended in 4 games, easy.

That's my only argument. It makes sense to me though.

No doubt. James is having a historical series and is cementing his place as one of the best ever. However that's as an individual player on a team that's not won a championship. It's like Peyton Manning of the NFL. Definite Hall of Famer, but only 1 SB win even after breaking numerous quarterbacking records that will stand for awhile, while playing on teams that have had the ability to win it all. If the CAVS lose this series, James will be 2-4 in NBA Finals even with outstanding performances in all of those too.
It would be a great consolation prize for James if he did get the MVP, but then to me that's disrespecting to the Warriors if they end up winning the series. Lol, even in sports there's politics.

This could come down to a game 7. I still don't think James has enough help and Golden State wins. He has played like a beast though.

I wouldn't doubt it. I love the idea of the Warriors coming home on Friday to play for the fans one more time. I don't like the idea of leaving it up to a game 7 to decide it. As a fan, I want it to end tonight and just have them come home with the trophy. The SF GIANTS have already done it for the Bay Area 7 months ago on the opponents turf, so to have another championship happen again would be great.

San Antonio and Houston

I hate watching the NBA though. I think it's the most crooked sport in the world, next to figure skating and gymnastics.
