I know your salty, but the Cavs have shot 50% more FT than the warriors

They're just missing everything and turning it over

You realize free throws are not the be all end all of the flow of the game?

If you can mug the opposing team in the paint forever with no calls then it removes their ability to space the floor and forces them into a contested jump shooting team.

If you get called every time you breath on the them in paint you can't guard the inside well and it leaves that team open to score at will.

That's this game reffing in a nut shell.

It doesn't help that the Cavs have also been really bad.

15 point GSW win.

In absolute terms yes, but relative to the Era its pretty close. People really forget how good Bird was. They tend to just remember the washed-up 90s version.

I do not hear you, I do not see you, I will not let you get into the Duggler's head with your bring-downs.

I think the Cavs will bounce back at least a bit

They just came off playing at the level of the:

Pacers
Raptors
Celtics (and they actually lost one without the teams best scorer)

If Ty Lue is actually a genius coach he might be able to win a game here
