Series Thread: Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Finals Thread

[GNG]

The Cavs just shutdown the vaunted Golden State offense.

I'm curious what adjustments Kerrs going to make. As bad as Steph's shootings been, Bogut and Green need to turn it up as well. They initially struggled with ZBo and Gasol as well. Time to bring in McAdoo lol

I'm thinking maybe start Ezeli or Mo and Bogut together and sit Barnes. That way Green slides over to the 3 and that front court is big. With Ezeli or Mo out there there's still enough scoring ability with Curry, Klay, Mo & Green. I would even consider Lee since he works hard on defense and crashing the boards.

I don't think the CAVs will lose game 3. They are going to be sky-high after this victory and so will their fans for this first game at home. I'm sure Cleveland will win that one, they might even blow the Warriors out. But I still think, even if that happens, the Warriors have a good shot at game 4.

You don't think golden state will be sky high after that embarrassment at home?

In other news, Curry just missed another 3!

And lebron missed anouther game winner

LeBron was unstoppable the majority of the time.

I know I was just making a joke since lebron is 0-4 when attempting a go ahead or game winning shot in teh final minutes of the NBA finals.

No. Embarrassed, yes; sky high, no.

 

[Flauge]

Mike Beasley would be sky high if was just embarrassed at home. Or on the road. Or not embarrassed at all.

 

[purguy12]

Yeah JVG called it bad live... then shut up real quick when they showed the replay... pretty clear interference, IMO

Thanks for the proof. Ball clear out of the cylinder.

They just have to shoot better. I expect a big game from GS in game 3.

yes he was just not when it was most important.

Nice pic. You back to work?

 

[GNG]

Shit happens.

 

[trojanfan12]

So 6-22??

If he had done that last night, GSW would be up 2-0.

 

[purguy12]

Shit happens.

yes it does.

Both of these teams could use Beasleys fire power right about now.

 

[purguy12]

Im still shocked how he is some what out of the NBA. Kid was the #2 pick and he has skills it just never clicked

 

[wildturkey]

You're talking about his fire up a bowl power, right? Yeah, both teams need to chill for awhile and relax

To me Green just needs to go up with the shot rather than lob it everytime. he plays 4 on 3 everytime on that curry PNR

 

[WiggyRuss]

I hope the Warriors go big with Speights or Ezeli and more Bogut. Mozgov has played extremely good and the Cavs cannot put him on the floor if Green is playing the 5----

really the Cavs are down to a 7 man rotation- LeBron, Mozgov, Thompson, Shumpert, Delly, Smith, Jones....thats pretty much it.....maybe we see a little mike miller at some point- but the Cavs are down to in reality 7 guys....you see where the Cavs are at a disadvantage when they dont have Love, Irving, Varejao----- i mean- who wants to go to their 11th, 12th man on the roster in the Finals....

The Cavs defense has been very very good.....

Golden State just makes me so nervous- like they can go off for 12 uncontested points at any time- I WANT the Warriors to go big----thats where the Cavs advantage is if they can play with Bron at the 3, Thompson at the 4 and Mozgov at the 5....

Playing small is easily smarter than playing big for Golden State. Anyone that has watched a minute of this series knows that.

I'm rewatching the last 5 minutes. Warriors got a lot of breaks and Cavs missed some easy ones. If they get a lead they have to do a better job of finishing and making damn free throws.
