Does last night change your opinion on the Finals, or was that the Cavs last best shot?

You had to know that with all the "largest underdog in Finals history" talk, LeBron would have that team motivated and ready. I was epxecting that initial strong push by Cleveland, and then eventually GS takes over and runs away with it.

For all intents and purposes, Cleveland should have won. So initially I'm thinking that this could be a really good series, but I wonder if they blew their load last night. Plus letting regulation end the way it did has to be pretty demoralizing.


LeBron is still going to wreck shop, but I feel the rest of the team won't have it in them to be more than passengers the rest of the way.

Lebron aint gonna score 51 every game. Last night was their shot to take it to 6 or 7. Its over in 4 or 5 now.

Would have been a good series had the officials not blown 3 calls in the final minutes.

JR smith didn't help either.

Hill missing the freethrow sucks, but it's not an uncommon occurrence.

The series is going to be won or lost in the minds of the Cavs players today. If they decide to pout and have a bad attitude about last night, the series is over.

Dubs are gonna have one or two games where they stomp them. That is probably coming Sunday. I just think pissing away that game is going to be too deflating for the Cavs as a whole and LeBron will get worn out at some point, too.

LeThanos had the whole Infinity Gauntlet, snapped his fingers, and still loss to the Guardians of Golden State.

Agreed. Last night was an absolute shot in the nuts for Cleveland.

I wouldn't put it past him to do just that. He's the only hope they have, and he'll probably kill himself trying to will the Cavs to a win.

He needs to get out of there.

Even if the Cavs win last night ... I still think GSW would take the series.

That being said ... IF LBJ comes out on Sunday and has another monster game ... which is very possible ... and IF the Cavs don't implode and find a way to rally ... and, IF GSW is cold as ice shooting ... Cavs could take Game 2 and flip the script a little bit to make it interesting.


But I don't see GSW having any problems winning in Cleveland.

Is GS getting Iguodala back for game 2?

Lebron can't play at that pace for an entire series. Just not possible. If he somehow does then they have a shot but otherwise no

Don't discount the fact that there's a lot of days between games in the Finals.

A long series could drag on for about three weeks.

Even if the Cavs had won, I wouldn't have bet against the Warriors winning the next 4.

A lot of it depends on this. How the Cavs play in game 2 will let us know.

He will burn out hard after game 4 if he tries to put the team on his back like that every night.

LeBron had one of the best game in Finals history last night and +/- has him at -13

Please never use +/- in an argument with me ever again. That metric is completely fricking useless

+/- is pretty useless in an isolated game like that because 10 points of that alone came in the OT when they got curbstomped.
