They're getting zero good shots, even when they get in the paint.

Dreadful 3rd qtr for him. More turnovers than points. Hes terrified of getting stripped when he takes it to the rack.

So frustrating.

edit: at what point do the Cavs try to emulate what they were forced to do last year? It'd be risky as hell but if they're down 3-1 after Game 4 they have to try something insane.

GSW taking literally everything away. Nothing from the Cavs works consistently.

Lebron is having a ROUGH night...

Curry should just sit out the rest of the series and prepare for the olympics so we can see some resemblence of competition...this is gonna be a sweep. Draymond Green is a better offensive player this series than bron. 2014 part deux

Basically getting blown out to a Curry-less Warriors.

LeBron was never super shifty/deceptive with the ball, but during his first stint in CLE, he had the quickness to offset it. Now that his quickness has declined, he either posts up or uses quick straight line drives in scoring situations. You aren't going to get a lot of easy shots doing that. And now that his jumper went AWOL, this is the kind of performance you get.

That's why I think the Cavs should play faster. They don't stand a chance against the Warriors set defense in the half court.

This Lebron at the 5 thing is not working.

They're just so outclassed. Barring unforeseen injuries it's tough to ever envision Cleveland getting past this team in this era. Golden State even has more room for roster improvement than Cleveland does to boot and Lebron is only going to deteriorate. I was more hopeful coming in, but these two games are so disheartening.

Lebron was great in the '14 Finals though. Not so much in this one.

But yeah, the series is over. Cavs aren't winning 4 of 5.

Why experiment when Curry is spending most of the quarter on the bench? Just go to Bron + bench lineup that did well in the 2nd.

Mozgov? The end is near here.

Lebron + Bench lineup played 4 or 5 possessions. Now Lue has two PG + twin towers out there without James. I have no idea what the gameplan is.

He's just experimenting.

In the god damn Finals. But Cavs are so outclassed here, he might as well.

It looks like the warriors are better than the cavs by a similiar or larger margin than the cavs are better than the new york knicks. Yeah I went there

Also SSB how is GS's overall postseason defense I know theyve held Okc lower than average but if they really strangle cleveland what will their defense rank among champs both statistically and in your opiniom

Man

what do theyt trade Love for?

or Kyrie?

JulesWinnfield · Post #940 » by **JulesWinnfield** » Mon Jun 6, 2016 2:08 am

Quite frankly I don't know who the threat is to dethrone the Warriors any time soon . We just saw OKC give them a hell of a series and they match up fairly well, but we don't know what will happen with Durant and I'm not sure the Thunder will ever have a better chance than the one they just blew. San Antonio is another year older next year. Everyone else is a tier or two below. Things can change fast, but they're halfway to the first 4peat since the Russell celts, and I like their chances. Barring injury I think this team is on their way to unprecedented heights for the modern era. On top of that they could even be scarier on paper next year
