Heard Love not coming back in this game, anybody confirm?  Edit: Confirmed

 

Hope Celtics hear that at halftime and come out on fire, this is there chance to end this series right here and now.  LeBron dominating the box score again, its so frustrating to see them winning by double digits.  Has my respect, this game would already be over without him.

Hot damn Lebron stalked that block the whole way. His dad must have been named Charlie Hustle cuz he’s got it in his dna 

I swear I thought he was still on the other end of the court from the layup, we sure he can't teleport, too?

Either way, this isn't a cake walk. They were vulnerable all season and it wasn't predetermined that they would waltz to another title. 

 

I always qualified that it'd require good health.  Injuries can derail anyone and they had bad luck with injuries this year.  The one postseason game they played where they were all healthy and in rhythm they killed Houston by 40.  Last year they went 16-1.  This year they'll probably go something like 16-6 en route to a ring, with the only real test coming from the second best team in the league.

 

Houston is a pretty great team in their own right.  Historic, in many ways.  But this series would already be over if Curry and Iggy had been healthy during it.

As good as CP3 is, Houston should have traded him to Cleveland for Kevin Love and the Brooklyn pick.   All they need at the PG position is a strong defender who can hit some threes.  They get plenty of offense from Harden and Gordon.

 

Love isn't more reliable than CP3 injury-wise, but he's on a decent contract medium term and Morey would have gotten the 8th overall pick to play with.  Maybe he could package that with Capela to go up really high in the draft.

 

It'd have been a no brainer for Cleveland.  Now their cap situation is too ****ed up to do anything because they took on so much money with George Hill and Jordan Clarkson.  And they didn't get rid of JR Smith's or Tristan Thompson's absolutely killer contracts.

If they don't have CP3, they don't win game 5.  They've got two shots,including a home game, to make an NBA championship.  That's all you can really do as management.

 

Kevin Love would be a waste on the Rockets because they have no use for his post play and he can't finish at the rim nor is a defensive fit (not athletic enough), and the 8th pick isn't a really valuable asset.

 

They got rid of Shumpert's and Crowder's contracts.
