Sheesh Smith is the savior of this game for the Cavs.

There's nothing wrong with the 3pt line....guys are just better at it now. What's wrong with that?

what's worng with 2 points?

...move it back....it was never intended to rule the game..like it does

There was never intended to be 40 3s a game....

 

The idea was only to keep big men from dominating the lane

You shouldn't get 3 points for walk up bomb...that's not the game

[oldunclemark]

JR Smith was missing in action for 6 months and now he's Rick Mount?

 

I cant stand it

[2006Coltsbestever]

JR Smith is giving me a headache

GSW will be good as long as Steph, Klay and Durant play guard.....you cant deal with that

 

It almost doesnt matter who else is on the floor

Who says? It was suppose to open up the floor and give big men room to play. Maybe we should raise the rim to 12 foot...maybe we should go back to peach baskets and a broom to slow the game down. Maybe the NFL should let defensive backs hold again...there is nothing wrong with it. Fact is most teams DONt chuck 40 threes because they don't have good 3 pt shooters. Just so happens that the best two teams are best shooters

[oldunclemark]

 I dont know what they talk to Steve Kerr....

 

what are the warriors....38-1 without him??

 

[Chrisaaron1023]

If I'm the cavs.. I give it to jr smith anywhere on the court and tell him to heave.. it'll go in promise

[oldunclemark]

Green tipped Kyrie';s shot and refs missed it

[dgambill]

Durant needs to be careful his offense is more important than a steal there.

[oldunclemark]

Kevin Love throws some trash in the basket, doesn't he?

[oldunclemark]

There's not a lot you can do about a 6-foot-11 guard

[dgambill]

Danger zone

[dgambill]

Had to get him back on the floor

[Malakai432]

LBJ going to the bench for a 20 second breather, lol....

Who says?  I do.

The 3 has distorted a game that didn't need distorting.

Check it out...a lot of teams DO shoot 30-40 3s a game

 

That wasnever intended..I want to see teams work for good shots.

Not step into 28 footers and try to draw lean in fouls

 

..who ever you want to win this series. Its bad basketball

[dgambill]

Of course the refs call that. Not the constant grabbing and holding of Durant 

[Malakai432]

Dumb mistakes keeping the Cavs in it.

[oldunclemark]

I have no idea why McCall is out there...some of Kerr's rotations are odd

[Chrisaaron1023]

quick get jr in to chuck threes

Tv timeout. They knew it was coming so grab him a couple mins with almost no game time off clock

To be fair...they hold LeBron every time down the floor, too.

Playoff basketball

[oldunclemark]

Cavs are closer than I thought they'd be

You can't tell me GS plays bad offense. They move the ball play selflessly and make extra pass. Just so happens they have basically the three best shooters in the league. It's beautiful honestly to watch a guy shoot so purely. Should the NBA only be about the most athletic player that can drive to the basket and dunk?

Of coarse it looks good when there is no defense played.

[BleedBlu8792]

LeBron can't even back down Klay Thompson? As I said the guy has no post game and can't back down a guy he has at least 40lbs on. 

[crazycolt1]

IMO when the league changed the rules about the defense not allowed to play zone defense it ruined the game.

[dgambill]

The three point line hasn't changed. players are better 3pt shooters now....so instead of talentless 7 foot ogres with no basketball talent in the league we have 3 and d guys. Sorry it's a better product.

[dgambill]

Refs trying to keep this close.

Zone is pretty much saying you can't play defense.. leave that shh for college.

That's a matter of opinion.

No, it's called playing defense as a team.

[dgambill]

I hate the instant foul on the fast break. Hate it

No it's not.. It's chicken sht defense. Thats the one thing I admired about Bobby Knight, if you couldn't play man to man you weren't playing at IU period.

I'd rather see a guy that can shoot and pass then a guy that is only in the NBA because he is big and can give u 6 fouls.

[dgambill]

That is what Lebron should doing at end of game 3.

[Malakai432]

Warriors better not get too conservative here, plenty of time.

[dgambill]

This could be it if GS can score here. Danger will robinson

[Malakai432]

Not looking good for the Cavs now.  Still plenty of time though.
