Cleveland Cavaliers VS Golden State Warriors: Leading up to Game 5

The journey so far

The finals of the Cavaliers vs The Warriors has been incredible so far apart from the inconsistent officiating but that is nothing new for an NBA game but, let's rather look at the way the players and teams have been doing.

From both sides, we can see almost exactly what everyone was expecting apart from the bad game here or there from certain players up until game 4. The Cavaliers came out with an incredible explosion in the first half to put away the notion of a 16-0 run in the finals. The Warriors just didn't look ready and Cavs looked angry.
Was this the Cavaliers playing for pride or was it the Warriors faltering with the pressure on them?

The first 3 games, however, saw the Warriors doing what they do best and that is completely dominate their opponents. The only surprise was how bad Tristan Thompson was.

My opinion

I believe that the Cavaliers were absolutely playing for pride in game 4 and I hope that this can spark something in the team the same way it did last year and I'm guessing that the NBA are hoping for the same thing as far as ratings go if you know what I'm getting at...but lets not delve too deeply into that.

As far as entertainment value goes, so far it has been gold, but i fear that it will probably be over soon due to the overwhealming firepower that Warriors have and if the Cavaliers somehow comeback it would be either a miracle or scripted. Nonetheless I am very excited fot the next game!!
