NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

We all know that the Warriors are winning the 3 point battle, but they have also outscored the Cavs in the paint in both games (54-42 in Game 1 and 50-40 in Game 2). Who can give the Cavs some rim protection?

Timofey Mozgov.

Mozgov.

He didn't look so great in his garbage time minutes today, but I guess the Cavs have no other option. I read that he hasn't been the same after offseason knee surgery.

They have nothing to lose at this point, but everything.
Nothing else for them has worked ...and I think we'll see him on the floor a lot more in games 3 & 4.

At least use him in spurts to change things up since what they're doing now is clearly not working.

Some things have worked for the Cavs in this series, just not consistently unfortunately for them.
The Dubs are unique. They present matchup problems for every team they face. They have excellent depth...they play very up tempo for most of the game,even while making adjustments...they're awesome defensively...and are fundamentally sound...not to mention being well coached..always really prepared....and so much fun to watch.

Before I forget, can someone remind me about @HurricaneDij39. That bitch was hoping Wiggy would shit talk the board for months once the Pacers lost to the Raptors. I'm coming for that little hoe when the time comes.

Awww how cute - A little call-out post.

In all honesty, I'd love for either of my two teams be down 0-2 in the Finals right now.

And even though I wanted the Cavs to win, my life is not affected in the long run.

Yours would be if the Cavs actually won though.

#2-5

Assuming Cavs don't win (8% chance now), I wonder if Gilbert now regrets giving up all his youth, draft picks , cap space and manhood.
Not sure at what point, but the 5 year super max that James will sign in '17 will look Kobeish.

Can someone repost a Wiggyism telling us that James best days are ahead?

Has Love played his last game in a Cavs jersey?

 

[Iggloo]

What do you think the odds are of Love playing next game, now that he is in the concussion protocol? Things look even more dire for the weak-ass Cavs than I had anticipated.

Lebron already packing his bags for his next opt-out destination I am sure. Or plotting to fire all his coaches and players. He needs more help right? Fake-ass superstar man.

Assuming there will be a lineup change

 

[Iggloo]

My guess is we see Mozgov start next game. They will need offense from somewhere.

Mozgov forgot how to play basketball

 

[bksballer89]

Do the rest of you guys find it funny that the Cavs traded for Frye mainly for this series and now they basically can't use him against the Warriors lol

 

[Black Adam]

Lebron also has never lost a game 2 after losing game 1 either..(he was 9-0 coming in)......UNTIL TONIGHT.

had a feeling yesterday THAT streak was coming to an end...

 

[Iggloo]

Frye would add to their defensive liabilities so much but they still need to play him. They need offense from somewhere. Right now they look like they might get swept if Love misses the next game.

Yeah he played 9 meaningful minutes in the 2 games. You can't play a guy 4 or 5 minutes and expect him to be effective

this right here was the thing I noticed. the Dubs are killing these guys IN THE PAINT, not just the peremiter. the Cavs are simply being out-hustled overall...

and, as punchline alluded to, I don't see Mozgov being good enough to tip the balance in the Cavs favor...

And dare sit the mighty Tristan?
Couldn't play both Tristan/Mozgov....could they ?
