Since I've turned this on the refs have watched more game footage on the sidelines than I have.

Yeah, the officiating has been horrid. This game is over though. Warriors needed to get it within 10-12 but just couldn't do it.

[Monkey_Driven]

Just a weird game all around. Cavs have shot extremely well and the stoppages have just killed the momentum since the first half. Kudos to the Cavs for going all out when they could have easily looked forward to the summer.

Verb is so conflicted the Cavs winning with so many threes.

I didn't watch. Hit a two hour run at a state park. I saw a fox and there were so many fireflys it felt like I was running in outer space.

Bitch ass millenials​ couldn't finish it I see....

Beadle looks like a whore tonight

Kerr's back looked fine when he was bitching to the refs. Pill head.

So the Cavs had their red hot shooting night; if they win on Monday I'll admit I was wrong about the series, but so far it's all going as planned. At least it wasn't a sweep.

30 point triple doubles in the Finals:
Lebron 4 times
All other NBA players ever 4 times combined

I can't wait to see how the Warriors respond in Game 5. Do they play tight or do they come out with the same attitude and tenacity as the Cavs did in Game 4 and beat them easily?

I think it is cute how ESPN is running headlines on their website and having their radio blowhards all talk about how the Cavs "are still in this".

They have made some really good adjustments. That in combination with their absurd shooting in Game 4 helped a bunch. I'm not sure if it will be enough tonight unless they get another game from both Kyrie and Lebron. I look for the Warriors to make some adjustments of their own tonight and get a little funky, maybe shorten their rotation.

I hope Cleveland slows the pace way down tonight.

If I'm Golden State, Zaza only plays to start each half.

[Monkey_Driven]

Foul trouble for Draymond has really hurt the Warriors in the last two games. It has prevented them from fully unleashing their small lineups more. I agree about the pace for the Cavs and on ZaZa. Also, Warriors need to drop the second and fourth quarter lineups with no Curry or Durant.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

zaza is painful to watch

This is exciting

This is exciting

what? that the banana boat crew is reuniting in L.A. in two years?

[4/5]

James has played 166 minutes, and the Cavs have won those minutes by six points; James has rested for 26 minutes, and the Cavs have lost those minutes by 25 points. They outscore the Warriors by 1.1 points per 100 possessions with him. They’re outscored by the Warriors by 47.9 points per 100 possessions without him.

James is the only Cleveland player with a positive point differential against the Warriors. His incredible value is obvious. For some perspective, though, it helps to look at Kyrie Irving, who’s played almost as much as James and has the worst plus-minus of anyone on either team in the Finals.

Good grief.
