I told yall before the game that key is to stop/limit their bench, thats how they beat teams.

That Iggy 3 at the end came at the worst time, and then this fakkit lue took out bron when hes been playing him the whole playoffs, went from 3 to 14 quick.

L is on him

Its still 1 game tho , chill

Offense won't be a problem this series. The defense got some tough matchups. Guys like Livingston has hurt them before.
I dont know person who doesnt fear Livingston .... défense has some.serious reliability..kyrie..love...although both did good against curry..


But lebron lock defense was amazing

to me they have to switch the offense completely.. i dont understand why OKC and now CAVS fall in the line drive trap of the paint clogging..

I would shoot 40 3points and live with the result.. shoot rhythm treys and not cross court last second attempt

You want to get into a 3 point shooting contest with the Warriors? Good luck with that.

If they take away the three then what? You gotta try to punish them with post ups when they go small. You gotta drive to put pressure and them and get to the line. That will free up the threes you want from them. Better ball movement and spacing is also needed which will break down the D for open shots. But just hoisting up 3s will get you swept quick against this team. I'm still not worried. It's just one game. Would gs change their approach had they lost? They didn't even change their approach being down 3-1 to okc. They made small but effective adjustments and just executed better.

Sounds good but I don't think I've seen a team defend the perimeter like the Warriors did last night. JR Smith hit one 3 last night and only took 4 shots. Frye only took one shot. That's just good perimeter defense. Best bet would be to move Smith around more and not have him just sitting behind the 3 point line waiting for the ball.

The Warriors played defense like they knew that the Cavs were the second best 3 point shooting team this season.

you cant both guard the three and the paint.. the way they are playing right now, richardson should replace love... clogging the paint on slashers but giving love space. ..and i am a bit worried because klay and curry played terrible and they won... things will just get harder..


but everyone played so bad.. that i think they will all convert to better... minus JR.. they are shutting him down..

yeah but JR particularly is being shadowed he is not staying put.. they are blocking his path.. and fry was played real close..... i do think Della should have taken a few shots but cavs seems to have a game plan to bust them inside with Lebron, love and Kyrie.. lebron and love tried posting and kyrie was doing amazing until they took curry out and gave him a super tall defender..

to beat the clog you gotta do what portland did.. light them up..
