Choking implies not competing. That was not the case. GS has 4 potential all stars and 2 former MVPs (still in their prime), they're tough to stop.
GS will be there next year, the Cavs need to add a top tier player to be able to win. To do that someone has to go, and I hope it's Tristian Thompson. I don't care if he gets offensive rebounds during the regular season, he is just not a valuable player in a match up against GS.
