2016 NBA Finals: Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers (3-4)

[Sherlock]

Livingston might be the only other perimeter player in the league who shoots more mid-range jumpers than DeRozan.

And yet, since he came back from his injury, I can't recall a single time he took one of those shots when I thought it was a bad shot.

I've seen him miss shots, but I've never seen him take what I would describe as a bad shot. Such a smart player.

DeRozan should really study tape of his game. If DeRozan played with that type of IQ, I'd be happy for him to go on shooting as many mid-range jumpers as he wants.

True, but Livingston is almost always guarded by players that are significantly shorter than he is and he plays for a team that finds good looks for everybody. If you put DeRozan on the Warriors and had 6-foot defenders on him 75% of the time, most of his shots would look like great shots.

I thought his shot selection was impeccable even when we played him in Brooklyn.

And the splash brothers dagger this game

Warriors in 6 prediction looking good. If they win Game 2 it will be over in 5.

Anyone else think that last year's Cavs team is better because they surrounded Lebron with shooters and capable defenders?

[Sherlock]

Splish. Splash.

Game.

[Southward1]

The cavs are just not a good defensive team. They have to play Richard "freakin" jefferson for crying out loud

Yes

[Volcano]

kyrie did nothin but chuck this game. demars chucking pales in comparison

unfortunately, DD had like 10 games worse than this

[LJKO]

Hax Bros not Splash Bros

[Southward1]

If Livingston was a 3pt shooting threat he'd been an all-star

Yes

Yep that's what I have been telling my friends. Delladova, Shump , Thompson were solid defensively for the Cavs last year.

How do you guys think Lebrons 2012 Heat team would do against these Dub's?

[hsb]

Shows how far we are from true contention. We would've lost to this Dubs team by like 50.

Eh, JV didn't miss one shot (not including putbacks) against the Cavs. Not one. Stole two without him but he would harass anyone on their team with a high usage. If Klay and Curry shot this bad and the Warriors hover around 100 points like today, a lot of teams can steal a game here. Cavs just have a bad match up.

[Dr Positivity]

Last year's Cavs were a better matchup against the Warriors cause they could grime up the game. Irving and Love are just a terrible fit playing GSW

Huh what shooters did they have last year that they dont this year?

[G R E Y]

Warriors!!!!!

I would rather let Lebron have the ball the majority of the game and have Delly spot up and play defense rather than letting Kyrie iso and play poor defense. When Lebron plays off ball he looks disengaged and he's not a very good spot up shooter anyways so I would rather have him be the primary ball handler and create.

[TheGoodDoctor]

I know most people won't care at this point but Lue is taking chances by leaving Kyrie on the court in garbage time.

About what I expected. Cavs just don't have enough good individual defenders. Their offence should improve though as they adjust to the switches.

Not sure if they would have won a series but they'd have been the best threat GS has faced so far. Actually, maybe just qqual to OKC... a little less talent overall but better poise and playmaking.
