15 point leads can be erased quickly. Curry got a bunch of free throws at the end of game 4 to get some distance. Some of the games were closer than they appeared. The Cavs tied it up in game 1 in the 3rd then fell apart. Etc.
He may have no choice if the Dubs switch like they typically do. Irving and James are two of the hardest guards in the game and then you throw in a guy like JR where you give him an inch he's taking and making. Tough matchup this series and last for Curry.
Curry has been exposed this past month as OKC and CLE have great perimeter weapons.
Hats off to Lue they are targeting Curry when the Cavs have the ball. And the Dubs have maintained their switches
Give me a game 7 over a game 4 sweep any year. The scores of the game doesn't matter, people only remember the series scores. Bulls won all their Finals 4-2. Most Finals end 4-2. 4-3 wins look better in the history books and this series and rivalry will get it own 30 for 30.

If the Cavs lose don't know what I will do. I live in Wash State, don't have a vested interest. But the story line of the city of Cleveland brings me in to root for them. How can you not? With rivers catching fire, the butt of jokes, the fumble, the drive, the Jordan shot, Jose Mesa. And the Cavs, the lovable Cavs are like the Chicago Cubs almost.
Maybe it will be a sad day on Monday or I will be watching highlights over and over.
Well, the Buckeyes are really good. At least in football. Not too long ago they were great in basketball too. That is Columbus, but it's all over Ohio really. I remember getting in a cab in Cleveland one year and the driver told me he didn't care if the Bucks lost every game that year as long as they beat the hell out of Michigan.
Definitely a sad sports city, but so are some other places. Like DC. Unless they can become fake Ravens fans, they have nothing to cheer about either, at least in recent years.

All in all, it's best not to become that invested. After all those consecutive playoffs series where the A's would blow Game Five every...single...year, I wanted to jump off a bridge until I learned not to put too much emotional stock into something where I have no say in the outcome.

Negative! The Redskins will ALWAYS have a larger following than the Ravens in the DMV. DC is a Redskins city, first and foremost. The Redskins are a Top 8-10 all time NFL franchise, the City is aware of the history, and it would take the Ravens decades to reach the cache of the Washington Redskins. Even in 3-13 seasons, we (DC and Virginia definitely, and about half of Maryland) support the Skins unashamedly. And our time is returning!
The Caps and DC United and the Nats are all huge draws. The got damn Nats let me down year after year after year, we'll, the Caps do too. The Wizards are the odd team out. They don't have as large a following as anyone else, and expectations are never quite as high, but I have l9ve for them. I'm a Sixer/Grizzlies fan first, I root for the Wiz peripherally...
Sorry to derail the thread, but there's plenty to root for in DC!
