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

LOL well the Memphis series was in reference to you saying Curry can't shoot or play well when defenders get physical. Please follow along...that was your statement.

And really?? You think Curry heated up because Allen wasn't playing? So please do explain the other games in which Curry 'heated' up when not playing Memphis.

I proved my point, you havent. Allen played good, physical defense and Curry struggled. Allen goes out and Curry plays well. You can twist whatever way you want, but the facts are facts. Curry is not unguardable.

With Tony guarding him, lets see this unguardable guy you speak of:

Game 1, they won: Curry went 8/18 22 points. Good game, but they limited him.
Game 2, they lost: Curry 7-19 19 points. bad shooting night. Memphis' offense actually played good on this night.
Game 3, they lost: 8-21 23 points. bad shooting night. Memphis had another good game on offense.

Memphis was up 2-1 when Allen was limiting Curry and making him work. Tony goes out, Curry goes off. Coincidence, I think not.

And guess what Tony Allen played a total of 20 minutes in next 3 games, wonder why Curry heated up.

You mean Conley?

i see you've met LeBron's PR man/laundry folder...

Damn straight CL and proving my point well.

 

[Hambombs]

Yea like I said he will have those nights, but Houston didnt have good defenders. Memphis did a better job.

Ariza, brewer are pretty good

 

[Hambombs]

Just to clear one thing. Tony allen was guarding klay and Conley was guarding Steph

Damn straight CL and proving my point well.

i'd ask exactly WHAT point, but i'm hoping i don't get a Wiggy-like response...

Well they both were out during most the series. Allen for 3 games and Conley for that broken bone in the face. So they didnt have their two best perimeter defenders.

That Steph is great but not unguardable.

Ok, i give you win. Now, if Curry breaks a record while playing against these great defenders on the Cavs will you then concede to my point??

 

[Shanemansj13]

Ariza, brewer are pretty good

I thought Brewer comes off the bench. Their starting perimeter defenders are Harden, Terry, and Ariza. Not very good.

3 great defenders lol?
Who is Cleveland's 3 great defenders you speak of?

Conley and allen are there 2 best perimeter defenders? No? Allen bothered klay maybe little less than 50% of the time. But coley did guard Steph the whole series outside of game 1

Crunch time brewer played alot

 

[LAD]

My guess would be the same ones you claim will STOP, eh hum, make Klay's like hard and contain Curry. Did you forget whom they are already???

 

[LAD]

Had they not played him as much as they did I wonder how bad that game 6 loss could've gotten.

 

[purguy12]

I think they're in trouble because the Dubs have a way of making other teams think they're jump shooters and adopting their style of play. Also realistically...cancel Xmas on getting enough from Kyrie to win the series. He is no where near healthy and anything less isn't gonna cut it against this team. Who is gonna contain Curry in 4 out of 7 games??? LOL

LBJ can guard him and shut him down but problem is LBJ won't be able to give much on offense because he will be gassed out.

How I look at it Curry will get his and LBJ will get his. Who ever plays better between Irivng or Thompson will win this series. Plus who's bench plays more consistent.

I can agree there. I already know if they're smart LBJ wouldn't be guarding either Splash brother. I like GS's odds in regards to their 2nd unit. I don't think it will come down to Irving/Thompson because GS has many other options if Klay isn't shooting well.

Lee is pretty good too. It is more about team defense when those two guys were on the floor together defending an they had a total team effort, they won both games. Memphis is that kind of team though, Cleveland plays different than Memphis especially on offense.

It didnt help that Memphis offense doesnt have many threats, but GS played very good defense.

 

[Shanemansj13]

They will most likely be playing Bron at the 4, I assume GS will go to their small lineup which they do a lot.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Kyrie said he will start off on Curry, which worries me even if he was 100%
