Delaying the inevitable.

Kevin Love is out for game 3.

i actually like Cavs more now because of that... Trendon rule in effect

Line is Cavs -1

Swung 2 points the Cavs way after the announcement that he was out.

[Seeitsaveit13]

That alley oop was nasty. Can't believe Lebron was able to keep the ball and not travel while he was on the ground too

all Cleveland needs to do is win 4 out of 5 against the team with the most wins in NBA history

All Cleveland needs to do is win 4 out of 5 against the team that lost 3 out of 4 to the Thunder in the last series.

What's that old saying... the series doesn't start until the home team loses a game? Unfortunately for the Cavs the series also ends at that point.

Wife got tickets for Game 4 from some old friends she worked with and I got her a flight while we were up there last week in anticipation of game 4 being fun...

May have gotten her a flight to a funeral...

Thank god she won't be seeing the final game of the series

Not just that, game 4 will be huge. It's basically just as much of a must win as tonight. They're not winning 3 straight with 2 @GS, but if they can tie it up at 2 apiece, they at least have a puncher's chance.

Can we get a non-blowout Friday night, good lord.

Haha.

Sucks I'll be on a plane from 9-11:05... basically missing the entire game save for the end. Might have to pony up for the wifi

Delaying the inevitable.

NBA has to make sure it gets to at least 6 games so 2-2 is imminent for some manufactured drama!!

Toronto goes hard.

Raptors fan ejected from playoff game shot and killed in Toronto

"Just weeks before his death, Sukh Deo had an unlikely moment in the spotlight.
He was the man who was ejected for heckling at the Raptors’ May 23 playoff game in Toronto against the Cleveland Cavaliers, said Gurpreet Sahota, editor of the Punjabi weekly newspapers Akal Guardian and Charhdi Kala in Surrey, B.C.
“All our kids, they watched him on that day,” Sohan Deo told the Sun. “He was a really big fan of that team. He always goes to watch the games.”

The Sun report calls Sukh Deo "a former Metro Vancouver gangster" who was "well-known to police in the Lower Mainland [of British Columbia] and was a suspect in at least one continuing investigation here at the time of his murder." Police sources told CTV News he was a "big-time coke dealer" whose family "has a long history of criminal activity in British Columbia."

This is the most passive lebron I've ever seen in a game. So strange.

He looks like he wants no part of shooting the ball.

[Cnasty]

Go back to the Heat series when the Mavs beat them. Reminds me of that.

[DRWebs]

Too many open shots given up for the Cavs to survive... Effort and attention on defense seems to have gone out the window

[shel311]

Cavs going to the stand around on offense while 1 guy goes Iso strategy a bit early tonight.

[shel311]

I think that Iggy stripping the ball from Lebron about 700 times in this series is really in Lebron's head at this point.



Oh, and poor Kevin Love.

Cavs going to the stand around on offense while 1 guy goes Iso strategy a bit early tonight.

Reminiscent of the Raps offense in the games Miami was blowing them out in where there was zero ball movement. Missed shots by the Cavs and then the Warriors getting offensive boards here looks to have totally killed their fight

[shel311]

OKC did the same thing. Not sure what it is about GS that just makes other teams' offenses seem to forget everything they do well and just go hero ball for the last 8 minutes of ballgames.

[Cnasty]

The look of those Cavs fans remind me so much of that Sox-Yanks series before they had that historic comeback the next 3 games.

History won't repeat itself though.

[DRWebs]

Love me some LeBron but he looks like a little cry baby on this play... Knocks Green down, rubs himself on back of his head as he walks over, and then continues talking trash. What do you expect him to do in response and why are you complaining

[Seeitsaveit13]

Ugh. Looked good when I was on the plane but somewhere between landing and getting to the hotel is appears to have gone downhill
