The Cavs - players and fans - are hungrier.

The NBA game is getting a bit weird for me. They go over and place their hands on the guy they want to put on the line, some 50% FT shooter and the refs dutifully call it. Meanwhile Delly puts his hands more forcefully on Curry right and left - ball denial they call it - and rarley does that get called no matter who does it. Never have like the handchecking crap. Why don't they just put their man in a headlock? THAT would be really effective defense. Oh boy.

Also: traveling. Just saw James take 4 steps on his way to the hoop. Happens all the time these days. Blake Griffin routinely takes 3 or 4. I was a baller in the day. I know steps, pivot foot, etc. They're letting the stars travel. A lot.

Also: LeBron James admirable in so many ways . . . but Jeez, does anyone else whine as hard when he doesn't get the call he wants? A few minutes ago, he tried to fake getting fouled and did a bit of a flop towards the end - no call - and then whined hard.

Kerr is a savvy coach. They were down 2-1 against Memphis, Kerr did some fine tuning and they win 3 in a row.
