This should get great ratings, and will drag on for 7 games for basketball reasons.

LeBron is always playing passively until situations demand him to go Super Saiyan.

Should have been a 30pt blowout easily tbh if Klay had even a halfway decent game. These 2 teams don't even belong in the same sentence. Durant was just feasting on the Cavs. Durant gets so much spacing to do whatever he wants beyond anything from the Thunder days.

I have no idea how you beat these Warriors. Absolutely no idea.. Short of injuring a Warrior or getting someone suspended for a game, there is no chance in 7 game series.

I am not counting out Cavs yet until we see how they respond. Maybe if they can shoot lights out, they can steal a game. It won't win them the series though bc nobody gets into a shootout in a 7 game series vs warriors and comes out victorious 4 times.

TV schedule. They try to do Tue, Thursday, Sun games, or work around the Stanley Cup.

They don't fear them. But it's smart to not let any competition steal viewers on the same day.

Besides, you know what coverage comes first, second, and third in Canada.

Oh boy.. What is there left to say??

My observations..
-Durant just mind blowing as always.. Those were fairly quiet 30+ points from him to go along with stellar defense. He is a complete player. I have my top 3 as LeBron, kawhi and KD, but I have absolutely zero issue with anyone having KD as the 2nd best.
-LeBron was on KD much of the game, but LeBron getting pushed to his limits. I am sorry, but LeBron can't give you 100% on both sides without getting gassed. He is getting gassed out there while giving you a little of everything. I kind of feel bad for LeBron, Warriors just too stacked.
-Cavs played pretty good defense throughout most of the game tonight.. At least they weren't leaving the lanes as open as game 1. They were right there in first half and even most of 3rd quarter. When things got into 4 quarter though, Warriors just went into top gear and blew the roof off the building. Tells you all you need to know about how good these Warriors are..
-Bit disappointed by kyrie. He is pretty inefficient. They need more from kyrie. I am surprised he isn't able to exploit Steph's defense more, but Klay is on him a lot too. Livingston and those backups are trouble too. Kyrie doing the best he can
-where the hell is jr smith? Paul Pierce and billups are right on the money for saying cavs need more from jr.
-Love has actually been pretty good in these finals. He is not the reason for these blowouts.
-I am expecting more from Cavs bench. I don't think they have contributed enough.
-Did I mention yet how good these Warriors shoot? Greatest shooter ever in Steph, 2nd greatest shooter ever in Klay and another legendary shooter in KD (probably top 5 all time). Lol, mind boggling. Cavs really need to try to slow down the game. You CANNOT hope to outpace/outrun the Warriors. Don't get into a shootout with these Warriors. Use more halfcourt sets if you can and run more traps.. They seriously need to take a look at Spurs/Warriors game 1 video.. Take a look at the traps and active hands used by the Spurs. Pop did an awesome job there until Kawhi went down. Cavs need to seriously run traps all over the place to slow down the game. Not only screens and 2 man traps but switches and some zone defense here and there. I know zone defense can be smashed if the opposing team shoots lights out but you can throw double teams bit more to mix things up. You have to try to get the ball out of Curry and KD's hands.
I know it's easier said than done..
-You can't make mistakes against warriors but you also need to capitalize on occasional warrior mistakes. If you can't capitalize on that, you are finished before you even begin. I don't think the Cavs do a good job of capitalizing on warriors mistakes. Warriors don't make very many mistakes so you HAVE to capitalize on the mistakes they do make here and there. Again, this is where the Spurs excelled; it is where the coaching experience and brilliance of Pop comes into focus. Lou just ain't in the same stratosphere as Pop.

Even after considering all that the Cavs can improve and maybe get guys like jr to show up, I still don't see it being anywhere close to enough. I do expect LeBron factor to win them 1 game in Cleveland. I think this is over in 5.

Very one sided. Games 1 and 2 however, I think the Cavs played into the warriors hands, they need to control the tempo and slow it down, limit fastbreak. And most of all they need to REBOUND the ball, there is no reason why Steph Curry should be getting 10 rebounds or sneaking in and getting rebounds over TT and Love.

I don't think it will be a sweep, but GS wins this in 5 or 6.

This year they look more locked in. And of course, Harrison Barnes was a no show last year, and they replaced him with Durant! He gives them that mid range game that they've been lacking, now they look like a complete team, on both sides of the ball.

Even though gs is the most stacked team ever, I still have zero sympathy for Cleveland, this is a by product of what LeBron did lol

Cavs played very good.. Kyrie probably had the game of his life and LeBron was awesome. Still not enough.. I think everyone finally realized how screwed rest of the league is for years lol.

Will need another super team to beat the Warriors.. Even if Klay just walks in 2 years. I guess CP3 will have to go to the Spurs. Kawhi, CP3, Aldridge, and legendary coach in Pop will be the best shot for next season. No team is as well coached as the Spurs. Surely not the Cavs this season. If anyone can pull it off,
it is Popovich.

Cavs can't add any pieces with current salary so unless if they trade for someone, they are how they are. Maybe Bogut staying can make a slight difference. LeBron is at the last 2 years of his prime before we see him start to decline.

Celtics can surely challenge the Cavs if they can get Hayward and possibly trade for another upgrade elsewhere. Or if Fultz can be a difference maker right away then Celtics can trade IT and Crowder for another starter like Butler to put next to Fultz/Hayward. They still have to get past the Cavs before they can even challenge the Warriors..

I think it will have to be a Western conference team like Spurs tbh. Cavs are the best you can do from the East. I don't see Anthony Davis or Cousins or anyone being traded to the East.. You pretty much need a super team to get past the Cavs if you are in the East and be even better than Cavs to challenge the Warriors in the Finals.

Took record breaking performance for Cavs to win this lol. 49pt opening quarter, 76 first half points, 25 3pt shots made, kyrie/lebron another berserk game, LeBron passing magic for most triple doubles in finals history.. And Warriors were still in close enough distance for a comeback until 3mins to go even with Steph playing horrendous. Lol

No comeback happening this season for the Cavs. Srym8s

Plus, there was also the Draygod suspension, Bogut going down with the injury, Steph playing with something I forget now, Harrison barnes sucking balls, no Durant factor. All of that is different this year.

Proven that even the whole playoffs is bad, normies don't care and they are the ones that pay.
