The Cavs should really be up 2-0. There were some really bad no calls going on. The clear arm hack of Igoudala on Lebron was absurd. It's looking really bad for the Warriors right now. Each time they showed Kerr trying to rally his team, it seemed really desperate as if he knew they were going to come out of Game 2 with a win.
I've taken the Cavs as the underdogs both games now going 1 for 2. If they are the underdogs again, AT HOME, I'll take that to the bank again.

really? what about the clear lebron travel before the foul. That foul doesnt matter if refs called the play right beforehand. lebron clearly travelled on that play. he travelled twice on it...

gs could easily be up 2-0 now too...we could go all day on who should be up and so on. for example after dray blocked lbj warriors blew a pass curry (gs was up 1 at that point) if curry catches that pass then they have to foul curry to put him at the line because only 18 seconds or so left. Then curry airballs a shot at the end to go ahead.

yea but you know as well as i do that travels go uncalled a thousand times a game...obvious rakes across the arm in clear view on the other hand shud not go un-noticed.

Igoudala fouled Lebron virtually every time he had the ball with his aggressive body and chest contact and clutching. If the refs continue to let this occur, it's advantage Golden State. Somehow I think Igoudala will not be getting away with this tactic as the series moves forward.

You mean the arm hack, when Lebron took 4 steps into the lane, then switched pivot feet 3 times, then was hacked??? Yeah that one, after 3 travels on one play?? Got it

Cleveland played balls out and Golden State played a mostly lackadaisical game until under 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Even then they made some real bad plays. What do you thinks going to happen when they turn it on? I don't like the fact that at GSW's worst, the Cavs still really couldn't put them away. They let a team come back from 11 down with three minutes to go, take the game to overtime and almost beat them. Really the game was over after the Curry free throws and the big block on James in OT if only they Warriors demonstrated proper ball control and boxing out. The missed pull up jumper by Curry sealed the deal for GSW on a game filled with mental lapses. He could have easily driven to the basket and drew the foul or made an easy layup. The series could just as easily have been 2-0 GSW. I don't see Curry playing so badly again in this series. Expect much more energy and better play from Golden State down the stretch.

The Warriors are not playing up to the "standards" that we have all become accustomed to. A big reason why this has not been happening is because the Cavs have a well balanced team to defend them. Let's think for a second about the starting line ups:
Not looking into the bench, this is a well balanced game. There will not be a "Warriors Blowout" in this series. People talk that the Cavs are better when Irving is on the court, but that is not true. Having Irving out for the series might have been a blessing in disguise. Reason being is that Lebron can now play scorer/facilitator which is what the Warriors do not want to see. If they continue to think that doubling back on Lebron is gonna work, think again. Doubling back on Lebron opens up the rest of the floor to the other 4 standing wide open.

Correct. Expect adjustments courtesy of Steve Kerr for game 3.

If they were on separate occasions then that foul must be called. If they occurred on the same play (which they did), and both were clear violations (which they were), then no, let the no calls cancel themselves out.

lebron gets away with offensive fouls AND travels. thats being honest. but i like how lebron fanboys ignores everything and only look at him getting foul just LOL.
lebron cries on every play. even on plays where the foul should be on him.

He literally bulldozes through players almost every time he goes to the hopp and gets called for nothing. Yet people have the audacity of crying when he gets no foul called on a play when he traveled prior to the foul.

LOL are you kidding me? Yes LeBron got fouled couple times. But LeBron extends his arms EVERY chance he gets to get the defender off him and just enough room to make his move. SMH. Now that should offensive foul, but that will never be called. Quit whining you little box.

I agree, never before has the best player in league got away with offensive fouls. Just ask Bryon Russell.

The Warriors have not had the lead at the end of a regulation quarter yet this series.
After 2 games at home (where they never lose as the media said over and over leading up to the series) they have gone 8 quarters in regulation without ending it with the lead.
Thats not a good sign.
Remember the old NBA saying "Jump shooting teams don't win Championships"? Well its there for a reason and the fact Golden State doesn't have ANY inside scoring, none, is not a good sign either.
You're relying on a bunch of guys who have never been near this stage, who need their legs for their offense (which is nothing but 3's), to be perfect and fresh in the 100th+ game of the season with all the pressure in the world on them AND off two OT games.
Golden State looked bad in Game 1 and worse in Game 2 and everyones playing it off like its an accident. "Oh they'll never shoot that poorly again" like its a coincidence it just happened to come in the NBA Finals against this Cavs defense.
Golden State is in trouble folks. Plenty of people in the media and around here made up their minds over a month ago that Golden State is historically good and will win it all with ease, and are not retrofitting whats happening in these games to try and still support their argument, but they're all ignoring the reality that Golden State is in real danger right now.
