shooting a ton of 3s wasnt the problem. the shot selection was. no ball movement tonight

Maybe it's harder to move the ball when the Cavs can just focus on the perimiter?
An inside presence would rectify that.

People are seriously shocked at why Lebron has to shoot so much?

it's a good point, and Bogut played boGUS tonight...

I don't understand what the hell Kerr's game plan was. This was YMCA ball with a bunch of guys hucking up 3's with absolutely no ball movement. Curry's let this MVP/"Greatest shooter ever" crap go to his head and he needs to take it back to square 1 and play sound basketball.

how is it possible that 3 refs could miss the blatant travel and lebron getting hammered? u would have to be blind to miss either and they missed both

It seems that at certain times they just don't want to blow any whistles.
Not saying it favored either side, but didn't Donaghy say that the league gave clear directives, in his book?

Lebron has been amazing. Take Lebron off this current Cavs team (replace him with just about anybody) that just beat a 65 win GS state on the road, and this team likely wins the lotto and not a finals game. Kerr, Curry, Green and Bogut better take a hard look in the mirror. They have not been very good.

What stands out to me is the refs being so inconsistent... How do you call so many tick tack fouls and then miss the last one where Lebron was MUGGED right in front of you ... It's baffling how bad these refs can be in the NBA....

 

[Nooone]

Owned? Do you smoke crack?

Steph went 0-8 with delly on him..

Exchange the name CURRY with lebron and see how the media treats him.

Curry was a stinking pile of garbage all night long being owned by a backup PG.

He will barely get criticized.

LOL wait a minute. Are you saying the media criticizes LeBron?as a Spurs fan Im not sure how you can take the dick sucking this guy has received. Then again, its obvious you have some weird agenda against Ws from reading your posts. I dont get it.

Oh, the one where he clearly traveled prior to the foul? The one of many that he gets away with?

First finals or not, you cannot be that stupid to keep on shooting 3's when nothing was falling. 15 threes for a player who only made 2 3's is outrageous

While I agree BK as you know, that's what shooters do..

And besides that wasn't the point with Horns.

Superstars get passes from the masses earlier in their careers in Finals...

 

[purguy12]

Its LBJ late game stats that just kill him. Back to back games he was having great games and then he just either Chokes or gets tired I don't know what it is but missing his last 17 of 20 and 2 game winners is bad. last 2 games late in games he is 2-for like 28 and 4 miss game winners.

 

[69er]

steph lets the iggy save go through his legs, air ball on jumper, and brutal pass as time expired. tough game and really bad ending

Last thing I need to see is Curry playing like shit in the Finals. I dont want him being a choke artist like LeGassed

 

[ckhokie]

This might be 'shopped a bit. I do notice something in the arm.

Lebron is single handidly willing his team to victory. GS inches away from being down 2-0. Meanwhile, Step just cost his team game 2. Shot less than 23% on 23 shots and less than 14% from 3s on 15 shots. The six turnovers were brutal. Kerr needs to adjust.

 

[69er]

Someone needs to ask blatt why his 2nd best player sat on the bench the last 20 minutes of the game. (Mozgov)

He was a monster in the 1st half

I dont get it either. Dubs dont really have an answer for Mozgov.

 

[Andresrenee]

Cavs went small. Forced him out of the line up. Wonder what would have happenned if they left him in.

he made life difficult when they went ultra small too. He isn't great in the post, but he can punish a guy that is 6 inches shorter. Putting him on Iggy was a brilliant move a la Bogut on Tony Allen.

He also does a great job moving and finishing when LeBron gets good post position. I know TT is a much better defender, but I thought Mozgov did great in the first half.

I think the cavs need to quit the 2 bigs lineups though. It is atrocious offensively

When the warriors went small in the first half Mozgov owned them.
