Has the toll of this long and ardous playoffs taken it's toll on the Warriors? Keep in mind GSW didn't even rest their starters near the end of the season to try and chase 73 wins. They are now in their second straight 7 game series and in their last one they had to claw back from a 3-1 deficit. Curry has been hurt this playoffs, Igoudala has struggled with back issues this series. I've even seen videos of Klay hobbling around in post-game interviews. I think the Warriors have just worn themselves down and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Cavs jump all over them again early in Game 7.

They look mentally rattled. The Cavs are playing smarter, anticipating those extra passes GS likes to make to get the 3 open.

They're just trying to control the narrative in case they lose

They do not seem to have their normal juice IMO


but some of that has to do with Cleveland being very physical and controlling the pace and style of play. In reality, the cavs have done that for the last 4 games even though they lost one of those

You do realize they have been missing big pieces of their team the last two games right?

Bogut going down and Green game 5 and Bogut and Iggy going down in game 6. Iggy/Green Rotated on LeBron and were fresh every time they guarded him and Bogut was the enforcer by the rim. Now they are screwed if Iggy cant come back for game 7 because it looks like Bogut is done this year.

Bogut was already ruled out for the remainder of the series.

Bogut is definitely done and I see no way Iggy will be very effective on Sunday.

Curry is very obviously not at 100% either.


Injuries happen, though. I think the refs allowing the physical play is what is really throwing the Warriors off. Their rhythm is just completely out of sync.

Maybe, but I think some of you are forgetting that there's still a Game 7 in Oakland remaining. Playing the deciding game at home should motivate them, plus they have two days off to forget about the last two games.

I don't think it can go any worse for them than it has in the last two games

Not forgetting about it, but it's clear that the momentum is changing. I think GSW will be ready for Game 7. They are too talented to not be.

I don't think anyone's overlooking that.

Personally I'm holding my figurative breath because Cavs losing after making this comeback would typify Clevelandism.

True, but I would think going back home for the last game will help them get over it. I think the main issue for GS is the physical matchup....Cleveland has abused them over the last two games. If that doesn't change, I don't think it matters where G7 is played at.

Either way, I'm pumped for Sunday night

I remember reading all this stuff after game 5 of the okc series. No, they'll be fine.

I mean, no one really gave them a chance in this series, not even their own fan base. The fact that they are in this is pretty remarkable.

Personally, if GS comes out and is just burning the net, I wouldn't be that surprised.

They got blown out by OKC twice in a row to go down 1-3.
If they were able to overcome that mentally, this shouldn't be a big deal.

And the momentum started changing when OKC choked in Game 5.

Honestly, as much as I'd like to see one good game in Finals, I think Game 7 is Warriors by 20+

Is it because they will finally "care" and "try?"
