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

Kerr's dumb. If they're going to trap on the pick and roll then you actually want a scoring threat on the roll. Lee went in there and they were back in the game. Then when they were on the cusp of getting it within one possession they huck up yet another rushed, stupid 3. They need to look at what they did to get back into it instead of banking on "the shots will eventually fall" crap that they're serving up right now.

Lebron has played some great D tonight. 4 steals and 2 big blocks.

[QUOTE="wildturkey, post: 6743603, member: 2043"]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.[/QUOTE]

Only took him 11 quarters, I guess.

As long as Shump is not injured and is able to play from here on out, Curry isn't gonna be hitting. They are all over him and it seems like GS doesn't know how to handle that.

If Cleveland wins, may be they'll have a co-MVP. LBJ and Dellavedova.

Has that ever happened before?

 

[Vitamike]

Cleveland has dominated this series. In 3 games, over 150 minutes, I'd bet the amount of minutes GS has led is around 30.

As I said a while ago: If this Cavs team was healthy, this series would be a sweep.

My take is the opposite. With Kyrie out you get more Della, could be the series changer....

Stay tuned...

 

[Retroram52]

Don't think so Robotech. Not in Basketball anyways. It has happened in Pro football though.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Not over till the fat lady sings. This is still a long series!

That just about includes all Ohio women.
Glad I found one of the skinny ones.

LOL i guess people don't watch the end of games or 4th Q. yes I know he hit a 3. I was happy to see him finally hit a shot. I will say this his only weakness for not being one of the GOAT is how is plays down the stretch. If he was lights out or took over He would be right in talks because he does a lot of other great things and his talent is awesome. This is the one thing holding him back and a couple more championships.

Look, I love to bash Lebron this year more than anyone. But jesus, you do see the stats that he's putting up? If Lebron weren't on the Cavs, they might be a lottery team. I think he played 46 or 47 minutes tonight, and outside of Dellavadova, it's basically him.

When they give LeBron and Delly the MVP, they should take a picture of them carrying the rest of the team. LeBron could probably put Mozgov on his shoulders.

I like this...

To me there really is no GOAT, not Michael, nor Kobe, Brony, Magic or Bird. Not Jabbar, nor Russell, nor Wilt, Hakeem, Shaq, Timmy, Oscar or West...

Just ONE of the GOAT's!

I don't know about all that. Kyrie and low being out ment your defense is so much better

 

[purguy12]

If LBJ gets help like this Cavs in great shape. They just have to work on the 4th Q melt down and they might be fine. It was nice to see curry finally go off in the 2nd half, LBJ hitting a 3 late in the game and Cavs role players showing up and coming through down the stretch. Kerr needs to play Lee more and not so much Bogut or Barnes.

an 8 is not skinny.......

Cavs fans saying it's over already lol

Della goes after the knees here, doesn't he?

lol

could you even imagine replacing lebron with ANY player in the league with Love, Kyrie nad Varejao out----- Michael Beasley has a better chance passing a random drug test than any team would have of winning the Finals!


unreal.

so.....again as I said what I believe was just about a month ago...I think LeBron just might have his best basketball yet to play.

Playing a 67 win, heavily favored, fully healthy, home court advantage wielding, Golden State team that lost 3 home games all season.

LeBron's 3 games

Game 1 - 44 pts, 8 rebounds 6 assists

Game 2- 39 points, 16 rebounds, 11 assists

Game 3- 40 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks

LOL.....hmmm......

oh yah...totally - LeBron DEFININTELY has his best days behind him....lol....I think some big piles of crow need to be eaten.

 

[Shanemansj13]

It could.

You could also see a lot of late game collapses happening from the Cavs this series just because they are obviously giving 110% out there

Yeah, they were getting winded late. Had just enough in the tank. Well now they got 2 days.

I think Game 4 is a must win if they want to take this thing and put all the pressure on GS. They need to play like it is a Game 7 Thursday

 

[GunsUp_ShootinBlanks]

Della goes after the knees here, doesn't he?

Looked like he was just "making a play for the ball to me."

In all seriousness, it was a little dirty on both players.
