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

[LAD]

Lebron knew the double team was coming so early he tried to get guys in a rhythm and gave them open looks. He actually did that pretty much the whole game, I think he knew it was going to be a tough game to win but he knows we need guys like Shump, and JR to knock down shots eventually to win.
It was an awful game all-around, except the bigs, who had a huge mismatch most of the game.

The facts are if the role players are shooting like that no matter what Lebron does, they wont win this series. Hopes to a better shooting night, it's gonna be tough to win at GS again.

I already told you this from the beginning.

The Cavs had a good strategy, let the role players beat us and they showed up.
Iggy a ridiculous 22 points
Draymond 17 points
Barnes 14 points

The Cavs shot horrible 33% and 14% from 3.

At least Curry (8-17 22 points) and Klay (9 points on 9 attempts) didnt dominate and they denied them the ball, that was the Cavs plan, it just backfired.

Here's the crazy part. They won by double digits...I mean they blew the Cavs up last night and Curry or Klay didn't shoot as well as they could've. I keep saying it...I wonder what the game will look like when it happens.

Im predicting (and hoping) easy Warriors win in game 5.

Not to beat a dead horse, , but why no minutes for (especially) Miller(I know he played a couple), Marion or Perk?

Oh Perk played last night...when they gave up and put the scrubs in.

What energy?? He used it all lastnight since his supporting cast, also known as the next best thing to sliced bread by you cavs fans, failed to show up. SMH

Yeah sorry they cant dominate the full strength Warriors every game with their benchwarmers lol
He didnt use all his energy, he was trying to get others involved and they were just off. They will get 3 days of rest and hopefully shoot good for once in the series. Other than Jones one game and Delly another game the Cavs shooter have been pretty bad the whole series, with open looks too. It's time for them to step up.

called the Cavs guards’ performance “ATROCIOUS.”

 

[Shanemansj13]

Not shooting ENOUGH? He's had several games where he's had 30 FGA's in this series.

Yes in Game 4 he was trying to get others involved (mainly bc of double team), if the Cavs want to win the series he needs basically 35 attempts a game. Like he did the first 3.

He only had 22 in Game 4, he missed a lot of easy shots but he needs 30-35 attempts.

Ahh..it's a no-brainer. They actually havent shot good so far in the series...and it's 2-2. So yah

That's not crazy. Considering the Cavs played awful they were down 3 until Curry hit a 3 at the end of the 3rd quarter. Yeah, that's crazy. The Cavs once it got back to double digits knew they were out of gas and gave up. So considering the Cavs played awful, it was close most of the game. I wouldnt get too cocky, after one good game by GS Remember the Cavs were blowing out GS by 20+ in Game 3.

Iggy put that blanket on lebron though

Delly?? You do realize he's averaged around 8-10 points a game right?? LOL I don't know the numbers on Jones but I would imagine they aren't great otherwise he'd be a starter...especially with Love & Kyrie out.

He only had 20 points in game 4....0 in the 4th quarter.

Yeah, I'm just seeing it. :rollseyes:
You were quiet a couple days ago. Carry on lol

Yeah, bc he had 1 breakout game of 20 points. Cmon now and Jones doesnt play many minutes but has been good when he has been in.

The key word is they WERE until GS rallied back and made it competitive. Your team gave up instead of making it close. Take one guess why. Here I'll help you out, they're TIRED. Physically tired my friend. And of course the Cavs played awful because LbJ decided to make his help actually help. But, when GS played awful they didn't lose by double digits either. So, having said that I'm not too cocky I just understand what this team can do & you should too.
