That was a big win. I had GS in either 5 or 7 before the series, and then after Kyrie went down had it in 5. Still think GS outlasts the Cavs winning in 7, but even if that is the case that's outrageous. And then obviously if the Cavs win the series even crazier.

Delly and Shump have to expend so much energy on defense chasing around Curry and Thompson that you can't expect huge offensive games from them. Their effort buys Lebron some rest on D since he is being asked to do everything on offense. They need more out of TT and Smith on offense the rest of the way. Mozzy played about as good has he can, but I don't think he is quick enough to play the defense that they want to play with him on the floor. That being said if they have a lead with more than 2 minutes left in the 4th I would go with Mozzy rather than TT since he is a good enough FT shooter to avoid the hack-a-dude defense.
I have to think part of Curry's struggles last night was the tight D that Delly was laying on him. Hopefully that continues, but Thompson probably had the best game that he will have this series so hopefully as Curry gets better Thompson comes back to Earth. Last night put the idea in the Warriors head that they might not be able to beat the Cavs. Game 3 is the Cavs chance to drive that home. Game 3 would be a great time for JR to make up for being a useless PoS in the first 2 games and have one of those 10-13 from downtown games. If Kerr continues to keep his bench short I'd look for the Warriors to start wearing down since their stars are playing 10 more minutes a game than they averaged during the season.

The NBA has to review the games right? There were at least 3 blown calls in the last 10 minutes of the game that could have screwed the Cavs.

In great position with hone games now. They have to win it. They just have to. If for no other reason so that we can all read Dan LebRetard's suicide note on deadspin after cheering Kyrie's injury.

I'm elated the Cavs won last night, but I just about threw my shoe through the TV in the 4th qtr. Am I the only one who thinks the LeBron isolation/stanky leg/15-25 foot one-broken-chicken-leg fade away offense is infuriating? It certainly didn't win game 1, and it almost lost game 2. It resulted in 2-12 at winning time. Those kinds of shots wouldn't be tolerated on any level of basketball except, apparently, the NBA. I will never understand it.

Yes, I absolutely hate the iso fade-away. I hope someone in the Cavs organization can compile some stats for Lebron's shooting percentage on those. It can't be good.
