There's still a second half to play but what I've seen so far suggests the gap between the East and the West is even bigger than I thought. The beat up Cavs were more competitive last year than what's gone on for 6 quarters this time around.

I would have to disagree. Outside of GSW, no one is better than Cleveland out West. OKC plays iso-ball for 48 minutes a game, and while San Antonio had a great season, the Cavs split the reg season series (IIRC), and were ousted by OKC.

LeBron is working his ass off. This is a greatest of all time type of performance and effort.

It may/will mean nothing on the scoreboard in the end.

He's working, but his shooting has been off and the refs aren't calling anything when he gets hacked. He needs guys like Kyrie, Love, JR, and Frye to hit some shots to open up the lane. If they can force the Warriors to cover the perimeter it will open up the lane for him.

lol This is an absolutely pathetic display of officiating to start the series. Worst part, they'll have to pull a complete 180 in Cleveland, to keep the balance. And I fully expect it to happen. The refs are setting a horrible trend for the remainder of the series.

It's.the contact before they go up that pisses me off. As much as curry does that step lean in block that should get called, it doesn't bother me that much since hes taking a position. It's the lean in and quick wrap and release with the off arm (then foul again) that green and Livingston do every fucking time. It's officiating 101.
