The Cavs are in Trouble

Kyle Terada- USA TODAY Sports
After last nights blowout win for the Warriors they have to feel good about going to Cleveland later this week. The Cavs seem to be very overwhelmed by this Warriors team and rightfully so. They just made a 3-1 comeback in the Western Conference Finals to a very good Oklahoma City Thunder team. The Cavaliers could play much better though. Kyrie Irving did not contribute much in Game 2 scoring only 10 points in 33 minutes. He also only shot 35% from the field. The team's leader LeBron James was not much better. He had 19 points on 7-17 shooting. He helped his team in other ways by grabbing 8 rebounds and dishing out 9 assists. However those stats would be overshadowed by his 7 turnovers on the night. To sum everything up the Warriors just look like the more complete team thus justifying the 110-77 win.

For the Cavaliers they should not get too down yet. They are heading home for two games and LeBron James and Kyrie Irving will both step up their games at home. The only concern this team should have is the possibility of Kevin Love being out. As of right now there is no update on Love, but he had to take himself out of the game early in the third quarter after he was hit in the back of the head by Harrison Barnes late in the second quarter. It is said that he had no concussion like symptoms when he came out and he showed none at halftime. In the third it was then obvious something was wrong. If Love is out for a Game 3 it won't only hurt the Cavaliers chances at winning Game 3, but it may even hurt their chances at winning the title. Let's see if the Cavs can turn the corner in Game 3 or if the Warriors will continue their dominance.
