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

I agree, it is partially true. The whole truth is Cleveland's defense and their dictating offense is exposing the Warriors. Blame it on missing open shots or whatever else most people want to blame it on not named Cleveland, but those are just excuses.

Something can be a reason and not an excuse. They are missing their shots, therefore making Cle's D even more effective because GS is panicking and throwing up dumb shots and the Cavs are able to pack it in cause GS can't shoot

I don't have to make an excuse for the Warriors. I thought they played dirty against the Rockets, but didn't say much because I would have sounded like a homer. I think because Bogut is pulling on a smaller Thompson who goes with it more than Howard, Cle is getting those calls. Howard was throwing elbows and retaliating instead of being smart and drawing fouls under the basket
