Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

Slow start
Turnovers
FT discrepancy
The Hail Mary shots that went in at the buzzer for Detroit before half and the fourth quarter (6 points)
JA getting 3 fouls 5 minutes in

Winnable game but onto the next one and come out stronger to start. Cavs can win this series
But they won’t. They ain’t gonna win up there. They can, they gave the talent, but iso ball is a bad matchup against an athletic team and this is the second series in a row they just won’t stop the stupid turnovers. Pistons in 5 it looks like to me…they’ll win game 2, split here, and close it out at home.

Now if the Cavs could manage to win game 2, a whole lotta shit changes, because then it goes into at least game 6 if they don’t get swept in Cleveland, and Bickerstaff is likely to cost them one game somewhere along the line. Orlando had them and fell apart…the Cavs won’t do that if they’re ahead, but getting up is going to be a bitch because the last series showed this isn’t a good, or even average, road team.
