Oh, wow. Lebron's #2 and #3 guy both go down. Now he's basically playing on Melo's Knicks. RIP 2015 Cavs.

I enjoyed this article about the rash of injuries in the playoffs this year and in the NBA recently in general. I do feel like it's a problem that the league needs to think about.

Doubt it.

Is this a transition situation? Two of LeBron's teammates aren't even in the picture (one is likely at the top of the arc, just barely out of frame, but the other?), and the shot clock is also just barely out of frame.
No, here's an article about it: http://www.si.com/nba/2015/06/05/lebron ... y-thompson

And here's a picture that is not cropped.

Great article, thank you!

Lebron and a bunch of spare parts evend the series at 1.

If they pull this off, this will be far be the most impressive feat of Lebrons career.

I liked Dellavadova coming out of St. Marys too.....Not surprised at all he's carved out a nitch in the NBA.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

Imagine if they still used that dumb 2-3-2 format. Lebron could close out the series 4-1 without ever going back to Golden State. :-)

I can't imagine Curry is going to shoot 5-23 very often.

I'm glad the Cavs showed up and decided to make it a series. I still think they have no chance in hell of winning 4/7, but it at least makes things interesting. If the Ws had taken both of the first 2 games, we'd all be bored and expecting a 4-5 game stomping.

I think the media attention is getting/has gotten to Curry. Might be good for them to get on the road and let the spotlight hit LeBron in Cleveland. I said the Cavs could maybe score 95 and that it wouldn't be enough to beat the Warriors...guess I was wrong.

I agree with this, if somehow LeBron leads this team to a title, it would be one of the greatest feats in NBA history.
Love, Hurts.

Big game tonight. It would be pretty wild if the Cavs go up 2-1.

Varejao out, Love out, Irving out, now Shumpert out... Marion still can't get play. But a Mike Miller sighting, so that's something.

I just can't believe what the Cavs are doing to the W's with the players they have out. Curry has been smothered, and the team hasn't been able to adjust to the physical play & the slower pace. It's kind of incredible. I really want the W's to figure this thing out and prove you don't have to slow it down to win.
Go Suns!

Kerr made a dumb move getting barbosa and lee out in the 4th.
Green and Barnes just vanished.
Barbosa was doing a hell of a job defending Dellavedova , and he even got Lebron to commit a 24 second violation.
W's won't win if Green has to drive onto Mosgov everytime.
