Defense and offense is too OP in this game

Nobody is going to stop lebron 1 on 1, Carroll does a good job of using help but they're putting him in positions where the help can't get there.

Rough start to the series. Most of us knew it would be rough, and that there wouldn't really be a shot to deal with the Cavs, of course, but actually experiencing it is still harsh. Lebron is just Shaq right now. Brutal.

he's normally driving against defenders. He dunks when he's alone though.

Cavs look dominant. Far better than either OKC or the Dubs looked last night. Clevelands honestly looked like the titles favourites this entire post season and I absolutely hate Lebron.

OKC has played far tougher competition.

Far tougher

Westbrook was 1/10 by the second half, Durant/Westbrook shot a combined 30% and still won against GSW on the road. With the way Cleveland looked last year in the finals against GSW despite missing Love/Irving, they should be praying that they don't see OKC in the finals.

Lowry's the biggest flopper in the league tbh.

He can stop getting beat back door for layups, he can take a step off Lebron and try and make him shoot a jumper.

I don't blame him on the post ups...but man..he's getting beat off the dribble way too easily.

Toronto mayor already looks like a **** clown

Raps need to match the Cavs physicality

LivingLegend · Post #972 » by **LivingLegend** » Wed May 18, 2016 2:18 am

When Lowrey is off, it seriously looks like he just wish out of water flops all over the place trying to get 20 point from FT attempts. Thats wack

The only shot Lowry has going is the fadeaway turnaround mid range. For some reason he's scared to attack the rim all playoffs.

LeBron has a history of destroying OKC. I think he's praying that he DOES face them in the Finals, because I don't think Cleveland has much of a chance against GS.

GS is just an awful matchup for the Cavs.

DeMarre will get shredded by any superstar 1 on 1 sadly. Seen it too many times

Half of his shot attempts are just efforts to get a foul call. I just hate so much about his game.

Damn PG sounds like Kobe

I am no Lebron fan but that guy is so physically dominating and the beating he can take is like Shaq where you can call a foul ever time. He also creates a lot of contact and gets away with a ton with his physicality and elbows but that Carroll play would be a flagrant on anyone else but Lebron can stay up and it turns in to nothing.

The Cavs have limited interior defense and rim protection but their active hands and defenders on the perimeter create the right amount of turnovers for them to be a run team now.
