My goodness, cavs should just drive every possession, no matter what they get a foul call.

They should. Recognize how the game is being called. They got lackadaisical on a couple of possessions or they would be winning after 3.

Good for Kevin Durant. Big stretch. Don't know why Kyrie didn't recognize Lebron should have the ball in his hand. Jacks a three misses and at the other end Durant hits one. Lebron went to the corner. He needs to say give me the damn ball. Was hopeful this could go six.

Nah it's over man. That couple minute stretch at the start of the fourth ended it.

Cavs bench was horrible this series, a complete non-factor the entire series. And Kevin Love just can't match up with the Warriors, no fast enough to play at their pace, can't defend the pick and roll.

LeBron averaged a 33.6 point triple double on 56.4% shooting, the first triple double average in NBA history against the best team in NBA history, but I'm sure I'll hear in the media the rest of the week how it's his fault they lost.

There's only so much energy a person can expend.  Sure he could try and drive every possession, but at some point, you get exhausted.  Media seems to forget that.

Golden States game plan was to let him get his though. Knowing one guy can't beat you

His stats were fine. I would have like for him to be more selfish at the start of the fourth. Instead Kyrie tried taking over. Lebron could and should have had 50 in that game if his teammates could have recognized what was happening with the ball in his hands. I don't mean that as demeaning. He has always been a distributor and he was fantastic. I think that is what people are saying when discussing his killer instinct. Great teammate I am sure. But at some point you tell everyone I am the best player on the planet and they aren't double teaming me. Give me the damn ball and you will still get your points.

The Cavs need to get someone that can fill the void when LeBron rests. Right now he sits out for 30 seconds and everything goes to crap. But yeah driving play after play, taking contact, all of that will wear ya out. He can't do that for all 46 minutes if he wants to have any energy left at the end.

Unfortunately that was the Cavs best chance of winning. LeBron and Kyrie both needed to put up 35-40 ppg. Besides game 4 only one of Love/Kyrie showed up each night.

But the problem is that wasn't the case. There were a handful of possessions Kyrie dribbled at the top of the key and then drove with Lebron in the corner. It's cool he trusts Kyrie and others, but that is when it went from 4 to 10. After he made play after play to get them back into it. Most every shot Smith made was off of a pass from Lebron in the 3rd. The Cavs and Lue lost sight of that at the start of the fourth. IMO
