Sitting Mozgov for so long in Game 5 feels particularly bad given the way he's playing tonight.  I know the defensive questions, but Cle just doesn't have options

You have to think Cleveland will make their run and then GS will drain back breaking threes to pull it out.
Pretty much.

One man can't do it all.

No flow whatsoever to Cle offense---it's Lebron tries to go one-on-one, and then someone else does if he gives it to them.  Just brutal.
 
Not sure they have had enough time to install an offense sans Love/Irving...but it's brutal to watch

I agree, doesn't look like Cleveland has any offensive sets to get shooters open. Just simply LBJ Iso's and drive/dish.

One of the most absurdly reffed games I've ever seen. Cavs get to mug, kick, trip, poke, prod, basicaly do whatever they want and they also get to take about 20 more free throws. Madness.

We should have one more Exhausted Lebron Montages coming up as well.
 
I can't stand him off the court, but f' the guy can play. 
 
Saved By The Dell and Eating at the Delli seems like years ago.

Lebron off the court seems pretty ok. Not sure why you can't stand him.

That was a horrible call.  And I think the refereeing has, in general, been pretty fair this series.
Yes, it's been reasonably fine. Except for tonight which has been Ted Wells-ish bad.

I'm a homer, and I'm more here than there. At least w/r/t to the way games are officiated all season.

Schumpert, Della, and Smith are 3 for 16 in another stinkariffic evening for Cleveland. Lebron is the only reason this series went more than 4 games.
