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

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.

True didnt think of it that way still delly is a piss poor shooter most of the time imo. Still dont get why lue went away from fry hes a better shooter then anyone they had on the team last year. Not to mention that dumbass lineup to start the 4th good job casey cough i mean lue.

As I predicted, their role players got exposed and did absolutely nothing vs real competition, and not the joke that is the east. Maybe I should have gone with warriors in 5 instead of 6.

GIven Kyrie's D, Lue's just trying to find a way to bench him that won't cause a huge media backlash.

Ok I wanted the cavs to win just so the raps lost to the champs but after this no way are they nearing gsw. They got wrecked by gsw depth and the splash brothers didn't have a good showing imagine them playing at their normal levels. All in all GSW is repeating

you know who must be pissed? Jarrett Jack. He grew with these young Warriors for a couple of seasons before they started winning championships, and essentially swapped places with Livingston.

Well Delly did shoot 41% from 3 this season

I selected the Warriors in 5.

I just didn't see how the Cavs could defend well enough to make this a competitive series.

Kyrie had a terrible game. But seeing what I saw against us, the guy is like a much better version of DeMar. He takes so many awful shots, but makes so many of them. Tonight was one of those games. LeBron got to the rim when he wanted to and also missed tons of easy layups at the rim.

That said, Curry and Thompson didn't even show up, and GSW won by so much. That's scary for the Cavs. But you can also not bank on Livingston and Barbosa to make so many tough shots as they did tonight. I think Cleveland could easily win game 2.

It seems the real finals was OKC vs GSW, this seems just a formality.

I wish LBJ had a supporting cast like modern day MJ does.

Like I said I would put down money on warriors to win and I did, but I expect cleveland play better at home, so the series won't be easily over

The raptors are limited offensively. They have 2 creators and then JV who's getting there. Outside that, nobody can create their own shot.

That's underselling the talent on the squad. Raps definitely have a great group of players that can create their own shots; DD, KL, JV and CoJo can all get theirs with the ball in their hands. It's about creating shots for others.

This is why the guards and the bigs need to develop better chemistry off the pnr and Casey needs to let the bigs have the ball at the elbow.

Who will win?
