TT played 7 minutes in the second half..... Man I'm still not agreeing with the logic of not playing the guy. You're the worst defense in the league, how can you continue to not play one of your two good defenders.

Kardashian curse is strong, Antidope.  The man's only putting up 2.7 ppg & 3.7 rpg thus far in the Finals

When TT is on the floor, his defender can pretty much ignore him and it pretty much becomes  5 v 4. Warriors defense is already elite, so pretty much every shot you're throwing up is going to be contested. I'm not saying I agree with Lue's coaching decision, but I understand the reasoning behind it. TT isn't getting offensive rebounds and he's not a rim protector, so he pretty much becomes useless.

Curry needs 11 rebs and 13 asts in Game 4 to reach a triple-double avg in The Finals.

Durant needs 28 pts and 10 rebs to avg 30 and 10.

If game 4 was a home game I could see them going for both of these.

I'm also giving MVP to Durant at this point.

You have to give the MVP to Durant. Dude has played amazing the on both sides of the ball.

Melo is the only answer

To what? Defense is their issue and melo is piss terrible on that end. That offense is stagnant enough with lebron and Kyrie just taking turns isoing, adding another iso player isn't going to help offensively or defensively.

The Cavs have about 120M committed next year between 8 guys. They aren't going to make significant improvements without either trading Kyrie or love. A love for melo move is a side step if not a step back.

Great game last night.

LeBron, Kyrie, and JR all played well and did what they had to do to try and win the game. My goodness.

But wow, the Warriors went down 5 and kept within distance for the final 3 minutes and boom, KD three, and Andre steal on LeBron.

What a win. For people saying this Finals have been boring, please. The competitiveness is there.

Haven't read any of the postgame recaps yet, but curious to see what the Cavs are thinking. 

Great win for the Warriors, I hope they take care of business on Friday.
 
Kd got it. He's doing his own thing wihile curry is benefiting from his presence. Having kd makes Lebron lose the ability to switch on curry like last year. Y'all can say he was hurt all or show me that play where Steph danced on him all you want.
 
All this time I'm saying the Warriors are gonna lose cause they don't have a real big man when the Cavs need one too :smh:

Tristan Thompson is gone after this season regardless of what happens. Straight unacceptable

Have you seen how bad he is? He literally had one good sequence this whole series: That jump-ball/block on Draymond last night. Otherwise, he's been a complete non-factor in every imaginable area, including the one area he was good at in his pre-Kardashian days: offensive rebounding.

So frustrating to see this dude get the ball down low, and then not just take it strong and QUICK to the basket. Instead he does it in like slow motion, allowing everyone and their mamma to block him by the time he gets up to the basket.
