Kyrie's ill fated three point attempt really hurt. He just dribbled and dribbled and wasted time. He should have known to try for a 2 for 1.
Because they play HC ball with nails in their shoes but SoSH says it's fun to watch. Yeah, in 2010. GSW, Houston, Spurs are the future.
Definitely a combination of both. I mean Cleveland really played awful down the stretch but it took amazing execution to complete the comeback.Wow. 11-0 run. Was that a choke job or just great execution by GSW? Not even sure.
Can't wait for LeBron to skip the postgame presser again.
One of the worst possessions in a huge spot I've ever seenKyrie's ill fated three point attempt really hurt. He just dribbled and dribbled and wasted time. He should have known to try for a 2 for 1.
2011 when the Bruins won it for one (June 12 v June 15)Have the NBA Finals ever finished before the Stanley Cup finals?
Well, sorta.The Cavs played probably the best game possible against these GSW. Has to be demoralizing. This is over in 4.
For whatever reason, Lue chose to stack the lineup with scrubs for LeBron's 1Q nap and the Warriors pushed the pace and scored 10 in a row in 2 minutes.LeBron played 46 minutes and was a +7. Cavs couldn't hold the line for the other 2 minues?
I'm just talking in terms of ball movement, defense, and scoring. Lebron and Kyrie are part of the team tooWell, sorta.
LeBron and Kyrie yes. Smith and Korver okay. But then...
Love 1-9
Thompson 0-1
Jefferson 0-2
Williams 0-2
Shumpert 0-3
Not enough.
I honestly don't understand why both Lebron and Kyrie gave up on attacking the basket the last few minutes. GS couldn't stop them in the second half but they started passing it off to sub-par players in crunch time.The big parts of the game were Kyrie going one on one and not taking it to the hole and nobody attacking the offensive glass, followed by LeBron being a step slow on defense allow by Durant to take a very makeable shot. I have no idea what LeBron was doing on that last possession when you had plenty of time to get a good shot off and even if Iggy didn't get a hand on the ball Cleveland's season was hanging on a crazy turnaround corner three with :15 to shoot? That was the really crazy thing.
Agreed. They played well but lack of 3's hurt.I'm just talking in terms of ball movement, defense, and scoring. Lebron and Kyrie are part of the team too
Don't sleep on Lebron trying to take a quick turnaround corner 3 with 15 seconds left. Horrible shot selection.One of the worst possessions in a huge spot I've ever seen
It is so amazing to watch KD play in these finals.That James kick to Korver followed by Durant saying I'm the new king said it all. KD is the best all around player in the NBA today.
What team takes more bad shots 5 seconds into the shot clock than GS?Hero ball is dying. Kill it on Friday. Kill it.
The Cavs should get 5 all stars, too.Kerr: It's pretty taxing to go one-on-one the whole game.
Yup.
You should watch the NBA sometime. I think you'd like it.Hero ball is dying. Kill it on Friday. Kill it.
Well they have 3 plus LBJ's hand picked role players in Smith and Thompson.The Cavs should get 5 all stars, too.
And they play an incredibly fluid system based on all ball movement when they aren't playing the best team of all time.Well they have 3 plus LBJ's hand picked role players in Smith and Thompson.
This I don't get.What team takes more bad shots 5 seconds into the shot clock than GS?
I'm not the one who called one-on-one offense with four players nailed to a sport beautiful.The Cavs should get 5 all stars, too.
And 28-3.At least Friday should give us plenty of Sox - Yankees 3-0 comeback references.
How would you try and beat Golden State?This I don't get.
They're good shooters. They don't try to draw fouls. The move the ball and shoot and pass well when available.
Not hero ball. Not begging for whistle ball.
What?What team takes more bad shots 5 seconds into the shot clock than GS?
Do what the Cavs did last year. Half court, very physical, try and bait Dray into something dumb.How would you try and beat Golden State?
Nope. You just turned the only reasonable strategy to beat the Warriors into a referendum on the state of a league you clearly don't watch.I'm not the one who called one-on-one offense with four players nailed to a sport beautiful.
Exactly. Which is what folks here are complaining about.Do what the Cavs did last year. Half court, very physical, try and bait Dray into something dumb.
I'm not one that doesn't like Cleveland's system so I have no issue with what they do. They are damn good but playing an incredible machine.And they play an incredibly fluid system based on all ball movement when they aren't playing the best team of all time.
The game plan absolutely should be to get Curry to switch into the ball handler and attack him. Sorry you don't like watching it, but do you have a better idea to beat Golden State?
P.S. Thompson was drafted while LBJ was in Miami.
That Thompson contract was an overpay for all of a season. He was the first guy to get paid with an eye towards the new cap. He's now a bargain.I'm not one that doesn't like Cleveland's system so I have no issue with what they do. They are damn good but playing an incredible machine.
On Thompson, LeBron lobbied hard for Gilbert to re-sign him and ultimately TT got way more than what was originally offered.
Sure, GS is amazing. But the Cavs' cabinet is hardly bare.
