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

^^^THIS^^^

With the injuries, Cleveland has no depth. The Warriors should be moving the ball and making the Cavs chase them all over the court when they are on offense. When the Warriors are on defense, they should be pressuring Lebron and making him work even harder offensively. When they allow Lebron to walk the ball up the court, they are also allowing him to rest and giving him time to figure out the best way to attack their defense.

The harder Lebron has to work, the more gassed he will become as the game wears on.

I also have notice Curry is not driving to the basket at all.

Yeah because the company giving Bruce Jenner a courage award is definitely the voice of moral reason.

Open your eyes. I know your blind hatred and jealousy makes you always see the worst in everything the Cavs do, but that wasn't a dirty play. He puts his shoulder into Green's ass/hip. Besides, if Green doesn't want that to happen, don't lay dirty illegal picks in the first place. Sorry bro, Green's a dirty, whiny baby and your crying doesn't change that.

I agree with u about Green but sorry evidence is clear and I will stick with that instead of a Homer telling me it was fine. If there was no video then may be I would believe u because it was green but sorry there is no way u can turn me around on a clear dirty play like that. Happy Green didn't get hurt. Knees are a scary thing and no one should never go for them like Della does. Gibson and Korver would agree.

And the few times he has, good things have tended to happen. He needs to do more of it, especially if his jumper isn't falling early in the game.

I hear Cohen's Fashion Optical is having their summer event - Buy two eye glasses for the price of one....

Maybe they will give out at the next home game for the Cavs fans.

Looked to me like the bulk of Curry's woes were mental. The Dubs got down 20 and he basically said "Fuck it. We're gonna lose. Ima just play". Once he stopped forcing it, he looked like the old Steph and ripped off a bunch of shots. Whatever it is, he needs to play with that same attitude from tip in game 4. He forced things too much till that point.

I like GS going with Lee. I'd probably consider starting him next game or at least playing him 20+ mins. His lack of defense won't kill you with what the Cavs do and GS desperately needs his offense. Green and Barnes are choking dogs right now. Hell, Green is bordering on unplayable. He's happier arguing calls than guarding anyone. And how many failed attempts is it gonna take before he realizes he can't dunk over Mozgov? Lee needs to play more. Barnes or Green need to sit. I'd sit Green. At least Barnes can maybe get out of his shooting funk and stretch the floor.

Lebron is fucking great.

Yes, I said on Monday that Lee should start and Barnes should sit. But I agree, maybe Green should come off the bench. Lee breaks the defense down in the paint and guys collapse on him, leaving the shooters open on the perimeter. Lee also finds a way to rebound.

yes, perfect example was late in the game when he was passing it to Lee. Lee was a nice game changer for GS. Some one needs to lead GS and that guy has to be Curry.

WOW.
Delly flew into Mike Miller

Iggy should start over Barnes. Let Barnes play against the #2's.

Funny how his dirty play keeps resurfacing in every game.....

OMG it is clear as day that Barnes CANNOT guard LBJ...not even a lil bit. SMH. I'm not sure why Kerr continues to even have him try.

On the Delly/Green play. I don't know that Delly was necessarily trying to hurt Green and I'm not sure the play was particularly dirty, but Delly definitely didn't make an attempt to avoid Green when he got up and tried to get back into the play.

Having said that, it seems that there have been a few of these types of questionable plays by Delly in these playoffs and where there's smoke, there's usually fire. I think we're reaching the point with him where it's harder to defend these things as him "hustling" or being "gritty."

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck.

"Only the play vs Love was clearly dirty"---All blind, homer, Cavs fans (real and bandwagon)

Yeah he does 1 dirty play a series(and gets away with it). Im still shocked they didn't call a foul on LBJ slide tackle with Curry. That was crazy. I don't think LBJ meant to go in that hard but a foul should of been called. I don't think it would of mattered but overall the Refs have been bad both ways. Last night it was in favor of Cavs, night before in favor of GS late in the game, and game 1 was split I would say.

Lets see what game 4 brings us.

He's got to be loving all the attention he's getting from it.
It's his 15 minutes of fame.

me either. This has to be a change. Go with the Vet. Also have Lee come off the bench and if Green is struggling put Lee in.

I feel bad for whoever pays Green money. This guy is not good. How many open 3's will he miss and he cant finish at the basket(don't get me wrong he got fouled a couple of time) but still he is so soft. He gives u ok D at the end of games. Overall he isn't more then a Bench player. I wouldn't want him in my starting lineup.

Suck Dick LeBron. Everyone was running around. Such a fucking drama queen. "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! IT"S ALL MY TEAMMATES!"

I think in game 2 the bad calls were in favor of the Cavs early in the game and then the refs switched it up big time at the end. Last night?? My goodness they were tryna rob the Warriors blind. I mean come on...how could they not have called that basket at the end offensive interference when Tristan freaking poked the ball back out the basket before it even went through the net? And what about the play when Lee got fouled but his ball wal blocked AFTER it had already hit the glass?? They eventually got the calls right but only after the Warriors put up a big fuss. These refs need to get better.
