How many teams have come back from being down 3-1 in the finals to win? I can't think of a single example and don't feel like digging but it's safe to say that tonight's game is absolutely crucial (for both teams to be honest). If the Cavs go up 3-1 it's basically over and if the Warriors win that erases the win in Oakland so it's a massive game. I have a feeling it's going to be a blowout but I haven't yet decided who wins the blowout. My gut seems to think Cleveland does as the Warriors just haven't been able to answer the "I dare anyone to beat us except Curry" defensive scheme.

Better not be a blowout. Last few games have gone down to the last seconds. Love this shit.

That's exactly why it seems like one is coming. We have yet to see one and I don't think I've ever seen a Finals without at least one. I would prefer another great game but the stage is pretty much set for one of those games where either the Warriors come out with a mass fire up their ass and crush the Cavs or the Cavs play with super urgency not wanting to give up the game they won in CA and take it to the Warriors.

We'll see soon either way! At the end of the day though, the Cavs still have the best player and given what I have seen, I just don't think the Warriors, outside of Curry, can do much about anything to both deal with him or keep up with him. That late run by the Warriors included some ridiculously acrobatic (and amazing) shots by Curry.

I was listening to the radio on my way to work, so I'll take their word for it since I don't feel like researching it's validity.

Apparently, 32 teams have been up 3-1 in the Finals, and they've won every time.

9 teams have come back from 3-1 down in the playoffs, it just never happened in the Finals.

Fully willing to admit I'm happy I was wrong with how this series has gone so far. I do think whoever wins tonight wins the series. I just have no clue who that will be.

Warriors just need to keep running the ball down the court constantly and the Cavs will get tired. Half court games are what Cavs want.
