Tristan Thompson #13 of the Cleveland Cavaliers goes up for a shot against Stephen Curry #30 of the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 of the 2016 NBA Finals at ORACLE Arena on June 5, 2016 in Oakland, California. The Cavs are not dead, but if they don’t elevate their play this NBA Finals will be a wrap.

The Cavs said he was placed in the NBA’s concussion protocol.
Be Civil – It’s OK to have a difference in opinion but there’s no need to be a jerk. And we know he’s a key for their team, we all know that, an All-Star for their team.
Golden State now leads the best of seven series 2-0, with the next two games to be played in Cleveland on Thursday and Saturday.
The Warriors will look to take a commanding three game lead in Cleveland on Wednesday. But it’s been the Warriors’ depth that has carried them thus far in the Finals – Shaun Livingston and Leandro Barbosa were the heroes in Game 1 when Curry and Thompson had cold shooting nights.
The odds for the Golden State Warriors to retain the National Basketball Association title have firmed dramatically after winning the first two games of the championship series against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Those Celtics teams that won 50 games at “home” played three games in each of those seasons at Hartford, Connecticut, going 5-1 in those contests.
Green has connected on three of his first four tries from beyond the arc, with 18 points in the first 19 minutes of Sunday night’s game. And the Warriors in turn also said all the things they were supposed to say as well, like knowing there’s a long way to go before they can think about a second consecutive title.
Barnes collided with Love as the two went for an offensive rebound with five minutes remaining in the second quarter. Combined with their 104-89 romp in the opener, the Warriors produced the largest two-game combined victory margin to open an NBA Finals. The Splash Brothers added 35 as the Finals heads to OH for the next 2 games. They have turned the ball over 30 times in the two games and Curry is averaging just 14.5 points per game.
In terms of the overall series, Golden State held court with two wins at home. Fresh off an easy 15-point victory in Game 1, the Warriors crushed the Cavs by 33 in Game 2 on Sunday night, burying the Cavs in the most demoralizing 0-2 hole in championship history.
“They just beat us”, LeBron James said. Green has been left open more than any other player this series.
For months, the Golden State Warriors have been linked to Kevin Durant’s upcoming free agency.

‘They took one away from me, ‘ Bogut said. The Cavs have not seen a team of the Warriors caliber in the playoffs up to this point, and the weaker Easter Conference competition didn’t prepare the Cavs for this. Like Klay said, he already spoke on it, the toughest part is going to Cleveland.
