Looking at the Cavs bench vs the Dubs bench, it's hard not to think that Golden State could just run rough shot on Cleveland with the second units on.

Heck of a quarter! Here's to 27 more!

You mean 15 more? Lol

Really wouldn't surprise me to see GS sweep Cleveland. They're just too good on both ends of the ball, and Cleveland's D has no chance at stopping them from getting whatever they want.

Yeah GS looks unbeatable at this point.  Their 2nd team has been good so far too.  Gonna take a big sustained def effort for the Cavs to stay in this series.

Benches don't play much during the finals. Its the finals. The stars leave it on the court

Yeah, but that two minute stretch where you give the stars some breathers could be a 10 point swing for this Warriors team. They're too offensively gifted even with their second units.

This half is why I can't stand Kyrie. His shot selection and focus on scoring are so...ambitious. He looks like the best player in the league when he goes supernova, but most of the time he's fairly detrimental to a smooth offense. And that's not even to mention his pathetic defense.
Isaiah, you were lightning in a bottle.

I'll tell ya, Lebron is going to have to play 45 minutes a game, and near flawless basketball for the Cavs to win this. He simply can't have a let down at all. Hats off if he can do it.

I feel dirty rooting for the villains in GS, but Cleveland being the victim makes it a bit more tolerable.

Cleveland getting done to them what they did to us.

I hate them!

The Cavs' poor defenders are completely getting exposed tonight.

I feel like this is a terrible series for Love.

Cavs got a washed up Deron Williams and a more than washed up Richard Jefferson playing big minutes in the finals...GM LeBron gotta do something about that in the summer.

like what??

they have like zero resources left

Don't worry, the league will figure it out.
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

Lebron is supposed to be guarding Durant right? Durant is crushing them.
