    Exposed for not having a good enough team? Absolutely.

    Curry and Co. are taking the game in the 4th. It's no coincidence, it's because they are better.

    I think it's a combo of the Warriors having figured out how to beat the Cavs and the Cavs just being dead tired.

    This is starting to resemble when Iverson took the Sixers to the finals and had an insane Game 1 vs Lakers but just no contest as his team had no chance against the much better Lakers team.

    Golden State should take it in 6....hope something great happens for the Cavs

    And that's what it all comes down too.. Cleveland is injured and tired. GS is a better team at the point and deeper.

    I will agree with sleeper on one thing.. when you have lebron, you're never fully out of it.

    I don't know that GS has the "better" team. Deeper, yes, but not so much better. The Warriors taking over in the 4th has more to do with fatigue than being better, if you ask me. They have done well at exploiting mismatches.

    no at this point they're a better team. They're deeper too, but better starting 5.

    And the Cavs' legs are dead come the 4th quarter, last two games it's been evident.

    This was part of my argument. They are going toe to toe, punch for punch, with the Warriors until about halfway through the 4th and then they are just gassed.

    It's embarrassing that the Warriors are even struggling to win this series vs this cavs team, all time great team? No way.

    Ignorance is validating a team by how close they kept it at some point. Care to share thought on game 4? I mean the cavs made a little run late .. did that give you all the evidence you needed to say they're still the better team?

    Game 4 was a 6 point game going into the 4th quarter when the Cavs couldn't make a shot, 4-27 from three. This series has been competitive. Game 4 the Warriors made adjustments and Blatt refused to make his own until game 5.

    Those daggers from Curry late in the game aren't going in because Cleveland is tired.

    No but giving up offensive rebounds is a direct result of that.

    But they might be going in because he's getting more open looks in the 4th due to tired defenders not being able to get in his face.

    see how anecdotal facts always help your case.

    How bout how the Cavs were down 15-20 at points. Down 12 at half time. Lost by 11? Or nah since that doesn't fit your narrative?

    Ok then, Cleveland is giving them the games. Got it.

    you have to understand.... Cleveland cannot be beaten, they can only beat themselves.

    I mean I give them all the credit in the world for getting to this point, but fuck...it's obvious.

    Cleveland isn't "giving them the games" but if you can't see that the Cavs are running on fumes late in the game, you're watching a different game than most of us.

    Thats the biggest issue... instead of being like "god damn, cleveland is giving GS a game even though they're injured and have a limited bench, this is impressive" We're going to say Ah, we're still better than them, we're just not finishing. It's crazy talk.

    It's a game. To say the Cavs are out of it is also crazy talk.

    I already said you were right in the fact that if you have LeBron, you always have a shot.
