Hey, what the frick happened at the start of the 4th? Dammit, it's ok if GS goes on a 8-0 run in 60 seconds when they're down 20. But when Cle is down 7 or so, THEY CAN'T AFFORD THAT. Cle has to break this cycles. If he's only gonna get 2-4 minutes of rest, they can easily change when it comes. It's beyond a mental thing now. At the start of the 4th GS sees him on the bench and says "Let's kill these fools!!!" And then they kill them.



Again, I don't think you've ever seen golden state play before this series

They do this to everyone. That's why no lead is safe from them

While it is true Golden State has a history of doing that, I think Lebron resting at the beginning of the 4th quarter is a big reason for their runs in Games 3 & 4.

You can't tell me that a line up of Delly, Shumpert, Jr Smith/James jones, Tristian Thompson, Mozgov is one that can score a lot (or hardly any) of points without Lebron James

The iggy defense on lebron is being way overblown. Lebron missed a ton of easy layups and was being double teamed more often. Iggy didn't do anything different besides finally started hitting some shots.


All of this. Can't stress it enough.

I wasn't able to watch game 4. was iggy starting the catalyst that turned everything around? or was it just golden state finally playing like golden state? actual basketball hasn't been talked about for last game it's either about LeBron's dick, LeBron flopping into a camera or LeBron rolling around and kicking people after flopping into the camera

god I hate what is happening to our country

Golden state really didn't even play like Golden State. Steph still struggled and Klay didn't play well.

Iggy played great and golden state was running up and Down the court and basically gave up on rebounding which kept the game close until the 4th quarter when the Cavs ran out of gas and the warriors ran them out of the building

Steph playing not terrible but not himself still and Klay was non existent. That's gotta be scary for Cleveland


Mosgov had the game of his life but Delly came crashing back down to chump-vile.

Eh, I'd say it was Iggy. Not in a way that was super obvious though. It wasn't like they jumped out to a 15-2 lead because he was unconscious. Steph still wasn't Steph and GS still missed shots early.

But Iggy hounded Lebron really well and gave effort out the arse from jump street. His numbers were great, but it was just as much about his effort and leadership. Dude stepped up.

No, what's scary is Cle dominated the glass and still got destroyed.

Still think Cle has as good a chance to win this game as they did the first two at GS. They can do this.

Mostly on defense too, his offense was still lacking

Overall the Warriors showed emotion for the first time all series. Steph has looked like a diabetes patient without his insulin for the first 3 games, he was bouncing around a lot more and Iggy and Green were really into it, which killed Cleveland's crowd

And again I think that was gameplan oriented.

GS went small, knowing they would get killed on the boards. So they dared the Cavs not named Lebron to make shots and ran as much as they can so that the Cavs were just tapped out by the fourth quarter


The Cavs can certainly still win, but they need Shumperts and Smith to do it. And THATS the scary part

I had a sad seeing Lebron get in the paint then make a perfect pass to the chest of a wide open shooter only for them to brick the shite out of them.

Lebron had a poor game so whatever. But they need to hit those shots for the Cavs to win. They just have to.

frick the Cavs. I'm a Lebron fan

Seriously though, it's fun to watch. I just get frustrated that the Cavs can't do much to combat it. This shite is about to turn into a chess match between Bobby Fischer and Morris Claiborne.

This game is going to be close though. Cavs will play with their hair on fire. Iggy will come back down and Lebron will finish at the rim this time.

Shump and Delly will be rested and give the splash brothers problems. Cavs will dominate the boards again and convert it into points this time.

And Livingston sucks arse(jk RTR and TBird).

Who's with me?!

I would hope the warriors would blow out the Cavs when the Cavs don't play well. The warriors are the better team.

For all intensive purposes, this series if over.

John Henry (Cavs), with an impressively exhausting performance, managed to beat the steam powered machine twice. But now he is dead and the machine will continue to move on to victory.
