TT is losing money

STOP LETTING DELLY GUARD THOMPSON

Delly has been awful on offense. He can't check Thompson on defense. There's nowhere to hide him, either. This isn't looking good.

I heard a bunch of talk before the game about dusting off Mike Miller off the bench. That said, he's probably even worse defensively. If anything, what about Marion? I know he's a shell of himself, too, but he's at least a guy who's always played good D. His shot is steaking and unorthodox, too, but he won't turn the ball over like Delly has and isn't going to get abused on the block by Thompson.

This isn't going well so far

'bout time that guy made a shot!

Cavs still playing tough.

I'm sorry but man our bigs are wasting air out there. Missing easy dunks now?

Ir's ugly, but we're still in this!

They put Shumpert on Thompson...Looked much better when Thompson had the ball last.

You're right, MrTed.... I've taken a small step away from the edge....

James Jones!!!

Jones!!!!1

There we go mosgov

Mozgov!!!!!!

We are playing some GREAT D!

As long as we've been putting ourselves through this, might as well not get down now.

This ain't like '07 when the only guys from that team I'd like to have would be Gibson, Andy and Z around Lebron.

We lose this, it is because of injuries. Not because we weren't good enough. We genuinely lost guys that helped get us here.

That makes it different.

There we go!!! We found some rhythm.

I like what C-Web said about Jones possibly breaking out with a rash if he goes to the paint. He actually scored off the dribble at the elbow! LOL.

Delly should only be guarding Curry. Everyone else on the floor for GS can post him up and score with relative ease. He's doing a great job on Curry, though. He just needs to not turn the ball over on offense and only take smart, open threes (nothing contested).

Need the shooters to wake up and stay somewhat steady in this.

Keep leetting Green, Iggy, and Barbosa chuck from distance. Dare them to make that consistently.

Mozgov playing well!

I think that was a crap foul called on Delly.

I like the Delly/Curry matchup on D!

We've been down by 8 now we're up by 7. No reason to be afraid yet.

Delly be killing me.

He can't guard teams #2. But he absolutely shuts downs #1's. Been doing that since the Bulls series.

The refs owed Mozzy from the other night. They owe another considering the timing of that phantom travel, as far as I'm concerned.

I know someone said they can't stand Bogut, and I really don't like him much either right now, but if he were on our team setting screens, we'd be jacked. He's set a lot of good one's tonight unfortunately. That one that sent Shumpert back looked clean.

Smith is just shooting like crap now

It did look clean, but if I remember correctly there wasn't anyone around them and they hadn't passed half court yet.

Gonna be stubborn with GS going small again?

There we go. Grab your balls Bigs and drive that lane.

When did they stop calling moving screens? I've seen them all playoffs.

Klay Thompson can't miss right now.

Great half by the Cavs!

I know I've been critical. But man am I proud of this squad. We will NOT lay down.

Mosgov found his muscle. Let's hope TT finds his next half.

If I'm GS, i'm a little worried. They should be killing a beyond injured Cavs team at home.

If TT doesn't, I'd let Mozgov stay on the floor when the Warriors go small. He's been smart on his closeouts and menacing on the glass. Now if he can get back to making his free throws...

Is it accurate to say that Moz is a more athletic Z?

Moz as to stay involved to have a chance at pulling this one out.

It is indeed. I didn't watch any basketball until the '07 finals so I don't know what Z was like in his younger days but I thought he was kinda slow towards the end of his career.

Dunno.

Remember, Z had a jump shot and a 3 point shot.

Z was much more polished offensively, and had range. He couldn't bang underneath like Mozgov can. I don't see a whole lot of similarities outside of being lumbering foreigners.

Moz is more important than TT
