It was the combination of that with Iggy's back injury, where he was never the same from G6 onwards - when Draymond returned. Their best 3-5 defense was never healthy again. When they had their full rotation during those first four games, LeBron shot 43% from the field when Iggy was on court, and had 23 turnovers (conversely he shot 50%+ and only had 8 turnovers in the last three games). Not to beat a dead horse, but the series would've ended quite differently if the Warriors had their same rotation from the first four games.

Yo WTF
The Cavs looked done at that point...which is why the Warriors started being blatantly disrespectful. I think they were indeed shocked by the way Bron and Kyrie balled out and the manner in which they got ran off the court in the 4th.

Oh, yeah, of course. But that's basketball. shyt happens. Warriors ain't show a drop of sympathy when LeBron damn near has to get upper and lower back surgery from Zeus himself for carrying his injury-depleted squad six sad ass games against them the year before.
And when shyt happens, you either have that reserve oomph or you hit the damn deck. The Warriors ain't show any oomph, man. That's a real bad loss. Dray showed up like a motherfukker. Steph? Sheeeeeeeit. Injury and all... he came up real short. So did Klay. Barnes, as per usual, was his stiff bum ass self. And the game was still there for the taking, that's how good the team was overall. But they blew a historic season.

This is the dumb shyt that kills me.
They already won 2 straight in Oakland to win the series
Yet somehow you have a hard time believing they could win 2 straight in Oakland to win the series
