You must not like real basketball then. That **** they did in game one is pathetic and boring. LeBron bullying his way to the basket knocking guys out of his way then the defender getting called for ticky tack foul is pathetic. How many time did he use his off arm to push a guy 3 feet out of his way? I'd guess about 25 in game one. It's boring, it's not the way the game should be officiated and it's not going to win. Even Van Gundy commented he's not sure any team has run that many isolation plays in a single finals game before.
.
If I was the Warriors I send a video to the league of LeBron pushing off repeatedly and ask them to clean that **** up.

lol. Hard to have your full playbook with Love out and Irving hobbling (now out). I just like the way Lebron plays better. He is a better passer and higher IQ player than Curry.

everyone here is acting like the warriors just blew the cavs
they played at home and the cavs led and controlled almost the whole game, 75% of the time the crowd in the arena was clueless and like "wtf?"
the gameplan was almost perfect, the stagnation on offence was part of the plan
if not some lucky whistles in the end like that travel on mozgov and not some dumb plays by lebron in the end the warriors would be now in vary bad shape
and that with jr and co with their worst game of the playoffs

JR and co. had their worst game of the playoffs because the Warriors defense refused to bring their defenders over to help on LeBron. Hence all the LeBron isolations.
Smart gameplan that eventually wore LeBron down at the end of the 4th quarter and OT.

Good post.
However I feel like the warriors were not near their best offensively

Jr. and co had a bad game because the Warriors dared LeBron to beat them by himself and took his passes away. By the end of the game LeBron was tired. Hard to get in a rhythm when the entire offense is based off one guy going one on one all game, unless your that one guy. Also Mosgov had a great game and is unlikely to follow that up if JR and co play better.

If the Warriors had played nearly as crisp in the 1st quarter as they did in the rest of the game this game is not even that close. Furthermore even in the better quarter for the Warriors it just never looked like the Warriors we've seen the rest of the playoffs. They were tight, the offense was not as crisp as normal, and they still won.

I find it unlikely LeBron hits as many jumpers as he did in this game. Without those shots I don't see the Cavs having a shot even if Kyrie was playing. Without him this series is already over.
Smith took 13 shots, that should be enough to get in a rhythm. He also had a lot of defense miscues in the final minutes.
