After one game it looks like Cleve. is going to have some issues defensively. But they were like that all season. This is obviously the best team they've played. I think the way the Cavs beat teams is that LeBron and Kyrie do their thing, and all the other 3pt. shooters fire away. They rely on the 3 so much. And they are good shooters, too. K Love, JR Smith, Kyle Korver, Channing Frye, Richard jefferson...and to a lesser extent, Deron Williams and Iman Shumpert. So many times during the season; a few of these guys would get hot, the Cavs would build a big lead, then hold on for dear life. Of course, GS can match them in that regard. So to answer the question; imo yes, I think Clev. can definitely come back because they do have enough firepower. It's just a matter of the 3s falling. I don't think the TO margin will be like in game 1.

Everyone forgets that dumbie got suspended for game 5 at home - if Green doesn't get suspended the Cavs lose in 5

Last year they were down 0-2
so maybe it won't show until game 3

two blowouts, then it was 3-1

as for this year, they only played one game and the Cavs lost the turnover battle 20-4, so I would argue they absolutely have a path to victory
