What a missed opportunity. Cavs looked strong and long in game 1. They gave the Warriors a little dose of reality.
The unbeatable team? The best team ever?

2-1 Cleveland With Momentum
The Warriors MVP woke up, finally, towards the end of game 3, down by 20. It was good but scary as a Cavs fan to see Stephon Curry hit 3 straight.
Other than that, Cleveland has owned this series. Through … Read the rest

Game 2 Notes: Nothing Stunning At All
The Cavs have been having their way with the Warriors for most of the series so far. The first 2 games have been controlled by Cleveland throughout, with leads being elusive and short-lived for these overly-hyped regular season Warriors. It … Read the rest
Game 1 – Missed Opportunities
Wow what a game, what a story.
First off, message sent. Everyone claiming the Warriors were clear favorites, ready to wipe the pathetic “leastern conference” champs out with ease, watched the Cavs handle the Warriors for most of the game. … Read the rest
