The only thing that I could rationalize is that you always want a body on Curry which is the reason for the switch. If you leave Curry wide open for a half second, he's going to drain a 3.

You can have Love show hard on the screen then go back to his defender once the primary defender is back on Curry.

At this point you have to at least try something different instead of putting Love in that situation. You're down 2-0 so doesn't hurt to try something new lol

Can't argue with that logic with the way the series is going.

Not only that but the Celtics are on the verge of giving Jammin' Jimmer Fredette a max contract. Get Javal AND Jimmer & the rest of the league will be put on notice. The Good Guys in Green will be raising another championship banner next season.:yes:

BREAKING NEWS...

All LeBron jerseys have been taken out of stores immediately in Cleveland in case some of those crazy-ass Cavs fans decide to have another jersey burning party when he skedaddles outta town again.

Freakin AMAZING! The most impressive thing is the amount of games players 1, 3 & 4 had to play to put up those numbers compared to Steph doing it in less than 100 games.

The series was over when the charge call was overturned from Game 1. Oh well.

If you truly believe that, then why would James want to sign up for this again?
Tristan is what he is, some games a factor and some games not which equates to role player.

Cavs ignore McGee the same way Warriors ignore Tristan.
Its just a matter of picking your poison.
difference between JaVale & TT is JaVale gives you rim protection AND GS makes him part of the offense. He doesn't just clean up under the basket, they actually throw him the ball & expect him to score. He had 12 points last night & was perfect from the field.

that was my prediction too. ESPECIALLY if the Dubs win game 3...

at that point it simply becomes a matter of time...

btw, have i lol'd @ Kevin Love's defensive effort yet...?:D
But remember just the other day @DirtDirtDirt had nerve to tell us that Kyle is good on defense??

I thought it was pretty comical how LeLazy REFUSED TO guard KD all night. ROFLMAO

I could up 30 at least if you let me travel, and use an off arm while on every drive while NEVER being held accountable to play D the entire season

Ive said before, if Lebron would play D the Cavs may very well be up 2-0 on GS right now

Never understood the logic of switching screens when you will be at a huge advantage.

Any screens involving Love should never be switched. The primary defender should do everything in his power to stay on Curry.

Same silly thing Houston did. Why switch a screen that put Ryan Anderson on Curry?
The problem is they can't avoid the switch without leaving the on-ball guy open. But I get your point, I hate it too.

“Shouldn’t have even been taken”??

You realize there is a thing called the shot clock, right?

They had what, a 10 pt lead with only seconds remaining? Teams usually will just take the shot clock turnover and let the game end soon thereafter.
