Sometimes, we need to just accept reality and move on.
They can do it from what I saw from last night.
Somehow they'll need to stay focused mentally because it seems like they exert so much of themselves trying to not let the Warriors get in rhythm that they end up having lapses at key moments. This is actually the biggest threat that the Warriors pose on opposing teams--that if you get caught napping for a second you will be punished with a three. This causes guys anxiety.
The Cavs can dictate the game much like the Spurs can against this team. The Warriors whole schtick is to bait you into playing open and chaotic. The Warriors are actually anti-fun when you think about it in that only they are allowed to play free where other teams have to play extremely disciplined against them.
Durant can still disappear for stretches and Curry is still food on the switch. I expect LeBron and Kyrie to go for 30+ each for the rest of the series. LeBron needs to keep his foot on the gas towards the end of games. His dribble-drive-kick-out is what teams want at in the final minutes. As soon as Durant got the ball after another missed corner three I (and I think everyone else) knew he was going to pull up for the transition three. Letting teams hang around as you try to extend the lead by three points at a time is bad basketball.
LeBron plays his best when the odds are completely against him and Kyrie seems to have found his rhythm, so if the Cavs make good decisions when they are close or have a slight lead they should be able to beat this team a few times in a row.

I'm rewatching the game now
The refs were blatantly in CLE favor. That actually helped slow the game and even led to momentum shifts
Anything as possible after the super bowl
"Ima stop fouling nikkas"what do yall want the nikka to say
:lolmj:
Game one warriors don't play good and win by twenty
Game two warriors make 20 turnovers win by 19
Game three cavs play the best ball of the playoffs, two best players both get 39 on good percentage, refs let them play rough, cavs got good calls, and Kevin Durant killed them casually
This is a sweep

Jr punched steph curry in the stomach and they held they whistles
How much more help did the cavs need?
Mannnnnnnnnn GS Would've ran them out their own building
These refs are disgusting
It was better this wayMannnnnnnnnn GS Would've ran them out their own building
These refs are disgusting
Cavs whole season came down to Lebron having to guard kd with no help and kyrie ISO on klay Thompson
And there was no excuses left...they fought the entire game for the lead and the warriors took it away without breaking a sweat on the cavs floor and dared them to do anything to stop it
JR...
