Got his ring. Woulda rather seen him get it on a less stacked team, but whatever.
Agreed on Durant. That's the silver lining of GSW winning.
Devo for CLE. Should have just given JR the ball every play the last 2 minutes.
ya man.. that was disappointing.
CLE should have been fouling like crazy the last ~3 minutes.. and then doing what they were doing on offense, very intense attack or kick it to JR Smith.
TBH, they "gave up" (edit: or more like, just accepted the L), they didn't fight to the very end.. and they lost by 9. They had some key missed opportunities in the last 2 minutes, turnovers/bad D - but that was because they had already given up imho.
JR Smith was automatic tonight, should have fed him alot more.
Would have just liked to see them play it more like an NCAA March Madness finish, where you keep fighting up until < 10 seconds, even if you're down 10.
Agreed 100%. They looked tired and accepted their fate. The shit thing about that is some of the greatest comebacks have happened that way. McGrady anyone???
yup.. mcgrady, miller, bird, etc.
never accept your fate.. by accepting it at 3 minutes, they gave themselves no chance to pull out the "miracle", and that helped contribute to the little mistakes/turnovers at the end, which looked so sloppy.. with no one near the boards for offensive rebounds. Bad look..
