The main reason we lost is that the Warriors shot 77% from the 3 point line and 54% overall. If you give up those percentages, you are going to lose almost every single time.
The Warriors didnt seem to miss any shots during the 4th. As you watch the game you would expect a few misses, but they just sank em all. All i could do was look down and shake my head.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James:</div><div class="quote_post">If we are comparing Melo to Bron, then Wade belongs in that list as well, because if he was healthy, I would bet his numbers would be better than Melo's at this point.</div>Not a chance. Melo is a winner. He proved it last year leading Syracuse to the National Championship and this year by doubling the Nuggets Win total of last years team.

Of course you already know this so I don't know why I am explaining myself, lol.
Warriors too fast for Cavs this time <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">James puts on show with 29 points, but Golden State cruises The Warriors were running, the Cavaliers were running on empty. With a chance to make hay against a struggling and smarting Golden State outfit, the Cavaliers were a step slow in the fifth game of a seemingly never-ending, six-game road swing Thursday night. The result was a deflating 119-102 defeat in the wee hours back in the East, which itself is now only a fuzzy memory. LeBron James, as he is to many humanities, was immune from it. He exuded energy in 43 minutes and filled up the stat sheet and highlight reel as handsomely as he packed the Arena in Oakland. In an array of slam dunks and vicious and carefree drives, James posted 29 points, six assists and six rebounds. He alone, though, was no match for the the quick feet of Speedy Claxton, the girth of Erick Dampier, the athleticism of Jason Richardson, and smooth shooting skills of Cliff Robinson.</div> Full Story
All the cavs need to do is keep on tanking and maybe they can land a center like okafur in the draft.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting CANT STOP ME:</div><div class="quote_post">All the cavs need to do is keep on tanking and maybe they can land a center like okafur in the draft.</div> Last year I believe they were tanking, but after watching every game this year, the problem is defense. But since they are such a young team still, it's understood to a point. They don't get up in your face when you are on the perimeter. So when you give open teams looks (team that can shoot) they stand a chance of losing every game.
I guess i agree with you KJ. what i have noticed about the cavs is that they play as good as the team that they are playing. losing by 10 to the lakers is not as bad as losing by 17 to the warriors

We need perimeter defense bad.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting CANT STOP ME:</div><div class="quote_post">not a very good comparison but you know what im talkin about right?</div> Yeah I feel ya, the Lakers have actually not done bad without 3 HOFers. Warriors were playing like trash, by no means the game should hasve been won that easily, but that is our problem, we give up open shots. Once people get hot, it's over with.
Yeah, fast break points were big this game. Cavs need to get back on defense. But, they did play well, which is a good sign.
What I don't get is why we are always so slow getting back. Yeah, Z is slow, doesn't mean that everyone else should be that slow, Lebron jogs, Boozer 1/2 runs 1/2 jogs, Williams runs, and Z might as well just stay on the other side of the court. I don't know, this team to me seems to be really lazy someone needs to go in there and wake them up a bit.
