Time to blow it up and build a bench and get a legit 5
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday. -John Wayne

Looks to me like some of the guys on the floor are watching the game along with us.
WE DON'T NEED A QB BEFORE WE GET A LINE THAT CAN PROTECT HIM

Get a 5 in a league that shifts to small ball, and long range shots? Not sure it's worth it.

I guess they don't need Curry to beat us anymore.

It still pisses me off the contract we caved in and gived Tristan Thompson. Should have let him walk instead of give him a worse contract than what we gave Andy.

I'm not sure LeBron's got much of a prime left? He's not that extraordinary player that scored 22 straight against Detroit, anymore.

If our bench put up half the points theirs did we'd be winning right now. It would change the game completely.

I hope the harsh reality of the situation clicks for some of those that denied it earlier in the year. The Cavs are flat out NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BEAT THEM. You can try, fight, scratch, claw, whatever. Sometimes the other guy is just better than you.

Sometimes the other guy is just better than you. Which is what I've said just about the whole time but get labeled negative. Anyone that watches these two teams wouldn't be surprised by this

Sometimes the other guy is just better than you. Then we should at least play some Celtic thug-ball to make things interesting. Our problem is we let ourselves get too down early, then gassed ourselves coming back. We can't even make 2 footers anymore.

A positive is that we're going to keep making it to the finals. The problem is that we're about to become the Buffalo Bills of the 90's.

And they are talking about potentially adding durant. Cavs have no chance. The east sucks, the cavs might have been bounced from the west. We're like the buffalo bills, good enough to get there but can't do anything. We just don't have the talent or coaching. It was a great season but the warriors are a dynasty in the making

The Warriors bench is playing out of their minds. They shooting like 80%. If we can keep Clay and Steph in check like we have tonight, and there beca drops down to shooting 50%, it's a tie game.

They're trying to make some noise, but I think it'll be too late.
I haven't watched all the game. I've listened to it since half.
Here's my takes:
-Lack of movement hurts us.
-People will defend TT with "the stars sucked up all the time...he couldn't get a rebound due to it's their fault."
-Kerr's got his squad playing unreal ball from top to bottom.
-Lack of sloppy turnovers gets this game even closer.

But we have a lot of pieces that don't fit to win against GS. And our bench is nonexistent. I absolutely try to move Thompson, and Jr and shump if they choke again. You have to be able to protect the paint and you have to have an effective bench, we can't do either. All we can hope for is LUe has some magic for game 2

Very optimistic if. But obviously that was our intent-make the rest of the team beat us. Unfortunately, the rest of the team did beat us today and played really well.
We've also played terrible and have had a ton of terrible turnovers. That doesn't help.
I don't think this series is over, I think that this difference in score will be the anomaly, and the rest of the games will be much closer.

Keys to the next game:
-Cut out the turnovers.
-TT needs to shore up his defense
-Better ball movement
-No hero ball when you lose a lead

Six minutes for Frye before they put him in for garbage time. So they think he just can't keep up on the defensive end? At least they would have had his shot making ability on the other end.

Lue isn't using our bench right either. Didn't get JR involved at all, don't know how his hand might've played into that but he isn't even one of the 'big three' either.
