Maybe those 2 days of rest weren't enough for the Cavs.
If their tank is completely empty both physically and emotionally they could lose each of these next two games 105-58.

There is no surer sign of the Cavs lack of depth than JR Smith actually playing meaningful minutes.  Has to be the least court-smart guy in the entire league.

Why do the officials refuse to give green a tech? Boogie gets technicals for breathing and this guy is trying to blow out the zebras eardrums and nothing happens

I mentioned this upthread a few days ago.....when Cleveland misses 3's it plays right into the Warriors transition game. All the more reason Smith and Shumpert need to knock these shots down but this strategy is very very dangerous. At some point they need to turn this into a grind-it-out game in the paint with LeBron, Tristan, and Mozgov.

no follow through, or pull down in that case. After he wrapped him up and prevented a shot he let go. Good call IMO
But when you grab him like that you put him in a dangerous position for an awkward fall.

I'd agree if he took him to the ground or even gave him a hard tug. I thought it was a flagrant at first but on review it was pretty clear to me that he let up at just the right time to prevent him coming down awkward. Good hard foul to take away the dunk. Iggy milked it a little bit, but I can't blame him.

That was a fun first half. Curry really needs to improve his ball handling and passing, and decision making in those scenarios, unless the finals has been an abberation for him in that regard. Didn't get to see enough of him in the regular season.
