When's the last time a road team shot double the free throws in a game 7?
When's the last time a home tea barely tried to attack the basket in a Game 7? 2-to-1 feels like the FT disparity we should expect given the difference in styles.

Exactly. That's what it should have been since game one of this series. Cleveland attacks the rim on offense, and crashes the boards, and goes up for second chance buckets constantly. Meanwhile, Golden State shoots from 30 feet away every other trip.

Yup. Golden State got away with doing that because they were going in, but they just don't have the horses right now. They have to move in, and I don't know if they can, aside from Green and a little bit of Klay. (Curry looks creaky, I dunno if it's a good idea for him to.)

I love Golden State. They're a passionate unselfish group of players. Hope they pull it out.

Also fuck JR Smith.

Anyone not named curry green or Thompson please stop shooting

Iggy and Barnes, just concentrate on defense and rebounding please

Post better.
Sorry...that game still stings. There were several questionable calls down the stretch of that game...especially the Ron Artest and one that should have been an offensive foul.
I only brought that game up because the Lakers held a 37 to 17 free throw advantage in a four point win (even though the Lakers were the home team).

I just can't see the Cavs pulling this out. LeBron will have to be Superman.
He's gassed, Lue needs to put Kyrie back in and run the offense through him. He's been the best player on the court.

Nevermind, Draymond has been the best player on the court tonight.
