    Let's see if Beantown can keep it close to give themselves a chance in Cleveland.

    Boston can’t beat Cleveland. They will not win a game in Cleveland because they don’t make their easy and open shots, and the Cavs get every call. Morris has 3 fouls in the first quarter, fts are 4 to 9 already, these refs are calling every little inconsequential bump and the C Bags are whining about no-calls and not getting back on D. LeBron can get Cleveland a game in Boston, whether that’s game 5 or 7, that’s what superstars do, the youth and inexperience of Boston is starting to show. The finals will be Cleveland vs GS or Houston.

    Hmm. Not so sure about that. But I agree with you about tonight's game. Going to be very tough for the C Bags. They needed to keep it close and thus far they haven't.

    But Boston is very tough at home and haven't lost there yet. They may need to win every home game and take this to 7. They aren't Toronto, that's for sure. They won't lay down and die.

    Reggie Miller is rolling around in his grave. F*** the C Bags, but a bad call is a bad call, that was a natural shooting motion, his leg barely even came out. I’ve seen guys kick their legs out for a call, this wasn’t that. This (and LeBron) is why Boston won’t win, the league wants LeBron in the Finals. Normally that would bug me more, but at the expense of the C Bags it’s not so bad.

    This is a horribly officiated game. It’s hard to watch honestly. Rozier just got 3 fts because JR Smith touched his elbow with one finger. Love and Morris each have 5 fouls and are on the bench with 6 1/2 left in the 3rd quarter. Garbage refs.

    Beantown keeping somewhat close. Let's see if they can hang around and make it interesting.

    Always felt Cleveland would win the series. Anytime you have the best player, no reason to worry. C-bags cannot win on the road, and they are still a very young team without a player of LeBron’s caliber to go up against him.

    I think it goes 7 and I think the C Bags win. By the way watching some of these highlights they were butchering Al Horford all night. I don't think they get away with that in Beantown.

    If you go to that twitter profile you'll notice its just pointing out different stats and records. I posted that because I thought it was interesting, over 10 years that's still amazing. Not in a oh he's helping CLE win games but just how it works out.

    I expect a much tighter game tonight between the Warriors and Sprockets. Houston knows darned well that if they lose this they are toast.

    I expect a blowout. The Warriors are going to end this Houston fad.

    Warriors had an uncharacteristic meltdown to end the 1st half. Kevon Looney and Swaggy have been substandard replacements for Iggy so far.

    Losing Klay even for a moment absolutely destroyed the Warriors' momentum. I did not account for that and if he went down then I'd be legitimately worried.
