    Cavaliers packed their tents yesterday. They will be fortunate to win even one at this point.

      No, but that wasn't Golden State's best either.

          Cleveland laid an egg.

              Yep. Looked like the Cavs gave up in game 2, if they can win game 3 though, there's still hope for a series.

                So I was definitely wrong about the close games. Not sure if a 30 point win is the best thing for Cleveland at this point, might light a fire under the Warriors in game 4 ... but it was a strong showing on their part.

                  Well they can't win in six now but they redeemed themselves in game 3. Back to San Fran.

                    No team has come back from down 1-3 in the finals

                      Yah. Almost surely over in 5. Warriors would have to choke even worse than OKC did for this series to continue past 5.

                      4 was the best game of the series at least. Curry finally had a good game and Cleveland played well until the last few minutes. One decent game in the series ... quite a disappointment.

                        Well it looks the NBA is up for trying to extend the series an extra game with the suspension.

                          A tech 1 for intentionally hitting another player in the groin seems fair. James was at fault too, but it doesn't justify Draymond's action.

                          Even if extending the series was the NBAs intent, its as likely to backfire as to help. It'll fire up the Warriors and the crowd. No chance now for the Cavs to catch the Warriors taking the win for granted.

                            Draymond Green's excuse was that he "felt disrespected" when James stepped over him.

                            I understand that there's a "respect code" that goes from playground to pros, but it's a pretty weak excuse for losing your cool in the NBA finals. If anything, it's the Warriors who are not treating the Cavs with due respect, mostly because they know damn well that they will win the series.

                              I saw the whole thing, Lebron wasn't even touched. Draymon was pushed down, Lebron steps over him.

                              A suspension is a massive overreaction to a real nothingburger.

                                Watch the replay (especially the opposite end camera) and Green clearly throws his right arm up to hit James in the groin area.
