Tonights game is the most important game of the series IMO.

I agree with you to an extent. If Cavs win tonight, Cavs win it all in no more than 6 games. If GS wins tonight, it's a toss up in 7 games, no way LBJ loses 3 in a row.

LBJ has lost 3 in a row before. i'm not saying that he's not great or potentially the greatest, but it has happened multiple times in his career, specifically since he is essentially carrying a MASH unit of limited offensively talented players in this series and playing RIDICULOUS minutes.

if this game goes to game 7, it's possible that every single Cav including Lebron is gassed.

that said, agreed. cavs need to win this game and put extreme pressure on the warriors before fatigue becomes to much of a factor.

I'm being serious when I say this is a much different LeBron. In Miami, LBJ wasn't the veteran leader to make adjustments, imo he wasn't mature enough, same when he was with the Cavs before that. I do not see LBJ losing 3 in a row. He and the Cavs knew this could be 7 games and I truly believe they are prepared to lay it all out there for 7 games.

You could argue every game from here on out is the most important game of the series

And you can have an argument that this is one of the top finals meltdowns in recent history by the dubs.

Agreed, A lot of it is on Curry but not all of it. Bogut, Green, and Barnes have literally been worthless the entire series.

Imo, GS takes it tonight and wouldn't be surprised if it's by double digits.

You would think this would be the game where the Cav's run out of gas.

Also, hard to tell if GS truly figured something out in the 4th qtr or if there just isnt't as much pressure when your down 20.

Warriors by 5

If by double digits you mean 10 at the most with 4-5 points coming from free throws at the end, then that's possible. Otherwise, no team is getting blown ot in this series.

I could see Cleveland losing by 20+ tonight

Let's be honest. GS should have swept this series. That is not an insult to Cleveland and Lebron playing gritty tough basketball.

If I'm giving grades I would say the Cavs have played B- ball, while the Warriors have straight up played failing ball. I know people will say its because Cle has played good D, and that can be partially true. However, every one of these GS players has missed wide open 3s from everywhere on the court. That is not finishing the job, either from nerves or from not getting all the calls like usual

If Cavs win tonight and GS comes out blistering hot in game 5, do you just sit Bron and Delly to save them for games 6 and 7.

I know it's the finals and you want to finish off opponents but the minutes those guys are having to play are OOC.
