I agree. I'm sure his detractors would say its kharma for the super friends titles, but whatever...he has been anything you could ask these playoffs

This team deserves better. So many guys are being asked to do things that they weren't brought in for. LeBron is playing all five positions, Mozgov and Smith are being asked to be the second scoring option and bench/energy guys are being asked to start and play major minutes. They're fighting like hell and have played over their heads in many ways, but it won't be enough.
This has become like a drag race where Curry is driving a Ferrari and LeBron is pulling a rickshaw. Curry, the supposed MVP, should be embarrassed that this series has even been contested.
When they take a break from hot-dogging and shit-talking, they should consider voting a playoff share and a ring for Kelly Olynyk.

Oh Jesus Christ. He's playing against the best player on the planet. He's has to sweep or be embarrassed?

Considering the Cavs really should have won Game 1, this could and would be a totally different animal.

The people calling for more Mozgov because of how he performed in game four realize the Cavs got whooped in that game, right? Golden State was happy to let him score because they cold spread out and run circles around the Cavs at the other end with their small lineup. Once Kerr realized that Bogut and Ezeli were turds and benched them for good, that was checkmate. The Cavs don't have the right players healthy to punish that lineup and force them into another adjustment.

He is a mastermind, too. Wow. Probably the exact quote he needs to say right now. He knows it. For himself and for the team to hear it.

He's had what should have been an easy path in this series. He's playing with a supporting cast that includes three former or current all-stars. He is the reigning MVP has been called by some the best pure jump shooter in the history of the game, yet he was outplayed for stetches by the undrafted backup that the Cavs matched up against him.
Vegas favored Golden State in five games BEFORE Irving got hurt. They absolutely should have swept this series or come close to it. Instead the Cavs were one bucket at the end of regulation in game one away from playing for a sweep of their own because Curry was mostly a no-show for about eleven quarters.

My bad guys. I'm not a cleveland fan but have a mild interest for the sake of Ohio and many here. I've watched the 4th quarter of Game 1, 4 and all of 5. I did not watch a minute of Game 2 & 3.
Clearly I need to bow out.

If you could go ahead and crawl under a rock for the duration of tomorrow afternoon until Wed morning, that would help out, kthnxbai.

Yeah, agree on all points, AND, it actually allows the cavs to expand their bench somewhat, at least to the degree that Miller and Jones can play more minutes... its not all bad. Obviously the going even smaller didn't work for GS, because then you have to guard Lebron in the low post...

The reason Golden State is winning this series is because their roster is deeper and better. Sure, you can mask holes for a game or two. But over time the gaps are exposed and the shorter bench succumbs to fatigue. Play any line up you like and you've still got the same issues because Love and Irving aren't available.

Veni. Vidi. Vici.
Put another way, the reason Golden State is winning is because the Cavs (with injuries) are basically LBJ and a bunch of guys that would go about 10-72 in the regular season. When LBJ's not in the game, on the offensive side of the ball, that team is about a terrifying as a group of kittens.

They also have no dribble drive PG out there, which makes the lack of calls on LBJ drives that much worse, because if they can mug the shit out of he m every time he gets near the foul line, its a bunch of 3 point savants standing around with no way to get the ball.
