what a game 2! everyone wrote off Cleveland without Irving, even talking a sweep, but they still played great out of town. Curry was cold, expect him to play better. will be interesting series.
he played great, but he made a bunch of mistakes too. I did get sick of him complaining about every call, I like how they're letting them play. equal both sides, I agree with announcer though that refs should have sent out a memo ahead telling teams they could get away with more.
LeBron's game 2 was greatest athletic performance I can remember seeing. he played 50 plus minutes against a great team being cavs primary ball handler, rebounder, scorer, defender, and passer! that is insane and never done before. and he was hacked non stop and never got a call. not even mj who had pippen to defend and bring the ball up and rodman to rebound did so much in a single game. LeBron has no one else that can do anything (besides tristen offensive rebounding). never seen anything like this in professional team sports. maybe in little league with a dominant pitcher who is also the best hitter and defender. if LeBron pulls off the miracle to take this series, which is impossible to me, then I will consider him the greatest athlete of all time in any sport. him winning would be like a hockey team goalie throwing shutouts throught out the finals and being the teams highest scorer. same with a world cup soccer goalie. if sandy kofax lead dodgers in hitting.
^if the Cavs win, LbJ will have to be called one of the greatest, shouldering the team to victory. But it's 1-1 right now
and will probably end up being 4-1 but still fun to talk possibilities. going to 7 or even 6 would be major accomplishment
ok this is getting totally insane. cannot believe cavs are able to win by playing 1 on 5 iso offense. and what is secret to cavs defense? is it just effort, or does blatt have some schemes no one else has used on gsw before? curry going off at end of 4th is good sign for gsw. his confidence is back, he understands what delli is trying to do on defense, and I expect him to have a huge game 3.
