    I didn't realize the 96 Bulls went up 3-0 on Seattle then lost 2 straight.

    Completely horrible refereeing can ruin a game.

    Warriors going to crush the Cavs at home.

    Lakers 15-1 still intact. I dig it.

    Yes, it's safe. 15-1 and 16-1 would be equal IMO. The Lakers only had 15 games to win, had they had 16, it would have been 16-1. It's not so different that you can't compare it like when the playoffs only had 2 rounds and then the Finals as in Fo Fi Fo 12-1 '83 Sixers.

    Refs can't stand not being the stars for at least one game a series ... The 1st 3 games were refs drama free so they had to react ...

    Cavs in 7 :giggle:
    Curry realy is a Casper in the most important games. If KD didn't join them, the Finals would be over by now...

    The Cavaliers unloaded everything tonight... I didn't think they could keep it up the fourth in this game but they did. Lue called appropriate time-outs to stem Golden State's momentum.

    Curry was MIA most of the game except bits in the third quarter.

    I said if Cleveland wins one game, it's back to 0-0, with the Cavs in the driver seat. If they blow it this year with KD, they'll forever be a laughing stock.

    I'm still not nervous, but if GSW blows game 5 at home, it's back to square one.

    Totally called the refs playing a big role in this one. Just awful officiating the entire game, that crew should be fined. That Green/Kerr technical mess came right when GSW were picking up momentum.

    Not saying they were the cause of the loss. Cavs were just on fire, Kyrie had some crazy plays. Expect it to end next game.

    Also 15-1 still stands, at least tied.

    How hilarious would it be if Golden State blows this series.

    Hoping the Cavs can make it even more interesting, not ready for the off-season yet...at least take it to a game 7.

    This game reminded me of our finals game against Orlando when they just couldn't miss. No way Cleveland stays that hot for game 5.

    Man ya'll respect Cleveland too much. They're a very good team, but they're not on the same level as the Warriors. They had to hit the most threes in NBA Finals history and the refs had to hamstring the Warriors for them to pull off a win.

    This Warriors team is going to beat them in Game 5. I have no doubts whatsoever that the Warriors win this series. None.
