I was low key surprised at how well LeBron was defending Steph the times he did. Haven't seen him move that well on the perimeter in a few years. Ironic because he was pretty bad against everyone else (way too many mental lapses).
Game 2 should tell a lot. However, this is looking very similar to Heat vs. Spurs in 2014
The next two games will tell a lot though.

Bron will go down as the wilt chamberlain of the wing forward position when it is all said and done.
Where they will bring up lack of a supporting casts like wilt.
When the real narrative is bron shirked his natural as a leader not playing the one.
Then also orchestrated the worst trade in NBA history to actual platoon himself as a loser.
The way it is going Cleveland barring a luck of the draw circumstance in the finals.
Will never win a ship with bron.

To speculate,.....
Next season after this impending L bron takes,....
Bron will form that super team of him, cp3, and Melo.
Only problem is the coach for that squad.

Except that NBA GM's actually voted Lebron the best leader in the NBA before this season started.
> Which player is the best leader?
1. LeBron James, Cleveland -- 44.6%
2. Tim Duncan, San Antonio -- 30.4%
3. Chris Paul, L.A. Clippers -- 17.9%
Also:
> Which player has the best basketball IQ?
1. Chris Paul, L.A. Clippers -- 46.4%
2. LeBron James, Cleveland -- 35.7%
3. Stephen Curry, Golden State -- 10.7%
4. Tim Duncan, San Antonio -- 7.1%
and
> Which player forces opposing coaches to make the most adjustments?
1. LeBron James, Cleveland -- 62.1%
2. Stephen Curry, Golden State -- 20.7%
3. James Harden, Houston -- 6.9%
Chris Paul, L.A. Clippers -- 6.9%
But I'm sure Art Barr knows more about basketball than the average NBA GM, which explains all of Art Barr's success at sports in life.
The truth is, Golden State's defensive strategy completely revolves around not letting Lebron do what he wants to do, and anyone who knows anything about basketball can see that. Those people who are saying, "Lebron just needs to dominate!" are ridiculous. He'll take the best chances which avail themselves - scoring 40ppg on 40% shooting is only going to bring a Finals loss. Lebron is one of the greatest at what he does to ever play the game, and he cares about the series more than you do - he is going to be far, far better at maximizing his talents than you are at guessing what he should be able to do.
I would be willing to bet that you haven't had any role whatsoever in any actual basketball team since the 1960s.
I said before the series started that the two series-deciding factors were whether the Cav role players (especially JR and Frye) could hit their threes and whether the Cavs could defend the Warriors, especially Love and Irving.
Everyone not named "Lebron" was 5-17 from three yesterday. And the Cavs sucked on defense. It's not looking good.
''We had too much rest''
It's funny you say that, because teams that come off a long rest like that usually lose their first game. The rhythm isn't there like when you're playing every other day.

breh some players get IT some players don't
and lebron sometimes gets IT, but most of the time he doesn't and thats the frustrating part
he at no point in game 1 attempted to take over,
he literally crafted this team himself when going there, after leaving a heat team he also put together

Take offense to what is there on actual film and facts.
Bron was drafted as a one a pg.
He plays the three,...that is shirk'n leadership period.
Magic, after norm Nixon was traded was never like,....
Aw naw I don't want the pg.
Magic at msu with Jud heathcote the most staunch non-progressive and strict coach I ever saw live ever.
Was smart enough to forgo his staunch ways and make magic the pg.
What does bron do when he gets to play the one,..shirks responsibility for his natural position.
To play the wing forward position which is shirk'n leadership.
That is a fact and why he will lose and will Continue to lose to higher IQ pedigreed coach teams is because he shirks his natural.
So till you come up with some response.
As to why you think lebron can win again against this warriors team or any other IQ pedigreed coach,....
You will lose cause you can not dispute a fukk'n fact.
Bron not playing pg even is the reason Andre Wiggins is not on this team...oh and Wiggins beat this warriors team in a hellafied game that was not a thirty to forty point blow out like bron against the warriors in the regular season.
Again, Giannis growing into what would later be his natural at the one.
also beat this golden state team,....first this season as well.
So again I already have my new teams and they beat bron and I was the biggest bron fan on this board too.
that trade and him shirk'n his natural in combo.
Combined with the lack of ability to will his way and win is why I am no longer a fan.
The NBA can keep up this false narrative that bron is a leader and has a high bball IQ but I know he does not.
I watched him not illustrate and not have a deep basketball IQ as well.
Which is why he has lost this many finals and will continue to lose as well.
You can not dispute a fact,...
The
fact is bron is not a leader and does not have a high bball IQ.
If he did he would be a zone buster and not have ever been hampered by zone defense.
including the Celtic ghost zone at full force as well.
So, till some fact arises to aid you in this convo that is illustrated on the court and shows championship results.
Outside of Miami,....you can stfu and just be owned.
Maybe you run your mouth during the finals some more, but unless bron gets cerebro.
He won't be winning the finals this year at all.
To the point, this game he has nuffin to build on to close the gap barring another bad shooting night from the splash.
Including a lack of execution from the bench and I don't see Gs having those two issues four times out of the remaining ssix left with home court advantage.
You might as well take your l before hand because I already know from experience.
Bron is not a leader and not a high IQ player at all.
Every final he lost was because he lacks the leadership qualities to galvanize a group to be effective.
Plus his lack of leadership in just his position for starters amplifies this as well.
For anyone to ignore this and then bring up a bullshyt poll when facts and results speak differently and tell the factual real on the real story.
Lebron is not a leader because he shirked his natural.
Plus, bron shirking his natural does not have the bball IQ and just the fact on paper he disrupts a nightly mismatch on just depth and roster matchups illustrate this.
including the subsequent play as well.
Art Barr
Oh and I averaged 28 a game last league I played in and I am only 5 foot nuffin, too.
So I do know the game. I may not play anymore cause fitness bodybuilding destroyed my natural playing fluidity.
Yet and still I still know the game from an IQ and execution standpoint, tho.
nikkaz talkin and I seen mj beat every team in the finals that owned them for his whole career out west.
When it calls for bron to beat teams in a low IQ era, alternatively.
With the same dynamic and possibility to lose,...does bron will this group to win no.
I can show you two plays of mj in the finals and the commentary.
if I can find them that begin why bron is not effective as a player off top.
Plus, does not impose his will and his lack of IQ.
