OKC is certainly better than they've ever been. I still like the Cavs chances better than a high-functioning Warriors team. Without knowing the numbers, I feel like Lebron and the Cavs have pretty much dominated OKC during the Durant/RWB era.
Also, this moment agains OKC was the very moment that Kyrie finally won me over.

Breathing easier now.
Lebrun's won a road game in something like 12 straight playoff series. Gotta win on Friday if that's going to continue.
Just please finish it off Cavs. No injuries. Just no injuries.

Or not lol. GS may have woken up a bit. This is... unfortunate. Oh well this is what we've been waiting for. I do think the Cavs match up well with GSW generally. Offensive boards, get back on defense, outlet passes. That's what the Cavs need to do. Also, in the last two Cavs games it looked like LeBron was getting back into his 2011-end-Derrick-Rose's-career mode defensively. It makes me wonder if they'll put him on Curry or Klay for stretches. Everything's going to have to hit. Delly is going to have to have one of those games. JR needs a JR game. Channing Frye needs to continue to shoot 50% from three. Kevin Love can't have two games where he goes 2-10. And Golden State has to not be otherworldly on 3's. I saw ESPN had GSW as 75% favorites. I'd put it more like 65%, but that's probably about right. Here we go. I may go into a deep coma after this series.

I think I'm going Warriors in six. I'd like to see Cleveland win, but I don't think this is the year.

So cliched and hot-takish, but...kind of a must win, right?

So cliched and hot-takish, but...kind of a must win, right? Not totally, but close. To me it's more - did they figure out how to play? Like if they lose while Curry goes for 40 but the Cavs are in it and it looks like their offense got unstuck ahead of the Cleveland games, well, that'd be nice.

imagine if steph curry ever has a good finals game
Seriously though, Iggy might win back-to-back finals MVPs. It'd probably be Draymond at this point, but I think it ought to be Iguodala.

Love trade columns are already coming out in force.

I think the thing isn't that Love was out, but that Lebron played 4. He shouldn't ever play 3 again in the playoffs.

Do you trust Lue to understand that?

I'm assuming he does. It is difficult though when you have Frye, Tristan, and Love all able to play 4 as well. Just not enough minutes and they all bring such wildly different skillsets to the table.

I saw that Ramaona Shelbourne piece yesterday talking about how Tom Izzo kept calling Dan Gilbert begging him to draft Draymond Green. That has to hurt.
