Blocks galore by Bogut in the first quarter. Warriors up 52-44 at half-time, looking the better team but not completely shaking free.

Another boring 20+ point game. Over it.
I hope Cleveland can at least make it interesting on their home court.
Cleveland and the east is just soo far behind. I'm a warriors fan so this is great. But I knew the title was won in game 6 o that okc series. To say the way the warriors play is boring is just trolling. They move the ball and play for eachother.

The most dominant start to an NBA Finals series in NBA history. No team has ever won the first two games of a Finals series by a combined total of 48 points before.
Not only has no team ever come back to win a Finals series before from such a deficit but no team has ever done it even in a playoff series. The closest was when Houston in '95 lost the first two games of their playoff series against Phoenix by a combined 46 points and went on to win the series.

The Miami Heat came back from 2-0 down in 2006 to win the next four in a row and beat Dallas 4-2 but they only lost the first two games by a combined 24 points.
The Cavs will need to make NBA history to win this series now.

Biggest combined margin across first two games of the Finals in NBA history.
JR Smith hasn't looked great.
Thought back at the time that the Cavs would've been better off trading Kyrie and not getting Love. Defense is crucial, so why would you let Wiggins go and pay up for Kyrie? The team play and D from the Warriors, Thunder, Spurs, etc has been very intense.

Delly averaging 4.5 points 1.5 assists 0.5 rebounds
Somebody give the guy a signature shoe already

Not only has he already got a shoe deal but he's about to get paid, Delly isn't going to be getting out of bed for less than $5 million a year and when he does so he'll be slipping on a pair of Delly 1's.
Cav's could use a little more Delly desperation and intensity at the moment, others just dont play hard enough.
Someone better let Frye/Smith know that game 3 is about the start so they can at least turn up....
Kyrie and Love are both decent players but you need to be great at this stage of the year and they have been far from great !!
Lebron needs great help (not ordinary or decent help) and also needs to step it up himself.
Id like to see the Cavs Start Delly and mozgov next game for some more defense and grunt
Could mozgov do more than this??
