GSW @ CAVS Game 4

Watching it now and two things are clear - LeBron & Delly are stuffed, and the refs are crap like they were in game 2, with some wrong and inconsistent calls.

Having said that, though, GSW finally playing like they did most of the season.


If I heard right, Delly is only the 3rd undrafted player in NBA history to get 20 in a finals game, and he didn't do it in junk time either. Awesome!!

Great game GSW. Shump and JR need to step up man!

Yeah, Iggy has been top notch. Has been the Warriors best player all series by a long way.

Igoudulla is having some bloody good game, isn't he???

Shumpert and Smith, right now they couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat! Killing me to watch them...

Mozgov, James and Delly are trying, but they need these two to fire up next game IMHO!

Not O/T, not even close at the moment...

My reference to @Orbs...

Not the way that last quarter started it won't be...

Just what I was hoping wouldn't happen, GSW looking the goods with Lebron on the bench, Delly missing shots and Shumpert, Smith and Co. turning it over.

Golden State running the floor well, making it look easy at the moment, unless the momentum can turn, the game is over and we go to Oakland 2-2!

As a Warriors fan, I would like to think that fatigue will play a big part in the final quarter. The Warriors have to make that a factor though, by upping their intensity. None of this passive bullshit, go out and leave it all on the floor.

A six point lead going into the final quarter is huge, especially if Golden State can get the early score to start the fourth.

Having said that, it is only 6 points and a whole quarter to go, anyone's game right now if the Cav's have anything left in their tank that is...

If not, GSW will increase on their lead and win well, let's hope the Cav's can find something!

I still don't like Kerr's lack of subs. His team look flat again in the 3rd. They need to get the tempo going their way again. I would be rotating the bigs frequently and telling them to work their butts off.

These Cavs ... how do they keep hanging around like this.
Loving their fight.

Mozgov not getting the calls his way today, ref's are seeing it differently, or at least the bald one is.

Cavs need more from Shumpert and Smith if they are going to get close enough today...

Delly giving it all he has, but obviously not at 100% and James isn't himslef either, but he will come back in the final quarter I predict.

That ally-oop to James from Delly in the third could fire them up though, now a 3 point game and the crowd going nuts again!

Delly tray!

Tell you what, Bogut is not moving well out there. He looks unfit to me. I would get Lee or Speights back in to close out the half.

Thinking back to the way Bogut played against Duncan just before he joined the NBA, does anyone else agree that probably his biggest mistake after being drafted was to bulk up too much?

I feel like both he and Longley lost a lot of their mobility and put too much pressure on their frames by overdoing the muscle and would have had better, healthier careers with a more balanced weights program.

Man, I thought the Warriors were going to be down big by the end of the 1st the way they started the game.

I'll give Kerr credit, going small has finally allowed them to control the pace of the game.

I still feel it was an unnecessary risk to start the game though. That's a lot of pressure on an injured Green to try to hold his ground against Mozgov and I think they could still have pushed the pace with Bogut out there, they'd just need to sub him earlier.
