i feel 25% vindicatedfigured
i lol'd though cuz i was so determined to lure a dragic to the celts during the season.
he also got his ass exposed for a couple games. If the series ended after game 3 some clown ass franchise would have broke the bank for this little fukk. Curry did that, so hopefully they wouldnt have to go through that
LOL He wasn't built to handle a long series, IVs after games and ish LOL But still, ninjas got paid off of less.

Exposed? Dude wasn't used to playing those kinds of heavy minutes and had to get IV'd after the game where he put the clamps on Steph because his entire body cramped at once. He got worn out due to lack of conditioning, but his performances weren't some kind of fluke. We're talking about a guy who's so good defensively that Kyrie, who has the best handles in the NBA by a landslide, used to fight him from frustration in practices. A guy that even got the likes of 6'11" Paul George talking shyt about him in post game interviews. Give him his dues.
fukk him.
I see you constantly
for that whiteboy. And stop talking shyt, his "entire body" did NOT cramp up.360Waves

LOL stick to subjects you know. Everyone gets calf and ab cramps sure. But full body cramps are rare and only happen as a natural bodily response to severe dehydration. You do not get taken to the hospital for an overnight stay with calf cramps nikka, Delly was on an IV because his whole damn body shut down. Dude couldn't even get up to walk out the room. Exaggerating my ass.I see you constantly
And I talk more shyt about Delly than I do support him. I always acknowledged his defensive prowess but spent the large majority of the regular season clowning on him for being a weak link on that team. Dude showed me serious heart during the POs though, with several unexpected performances on both sides of the ball, and with better conditioning I'd like to see him on Steph all the time. All I said was give homeboy his due.
I'll repeat again - his "entire body" did not cramp up.
This is factually wrong. Stop lying.Dude couldn't even get up to walk out the room. Exaggerating my ass.
Team defense was the key. Not Delly. Cavs helped off Curry all series long by heavy-hedging and sending an extra man to get the ball out of his hands. This is why Barnes/Iggy/Draymond had open shots all throughout the Finals, because their matchup would close out on Curry more often than not. Delly wasn't on some Revis shyt. Perhaps you should take some of your own advice and "stick to subjects you know".And I talk more shyt about Delly than I do support him.

Delly didn't shutdown Curry solo. It was the combo of him and TT blitzing him on the perimeter that made it hell to get a rhythm going. It was a high risk strat by Blatt that kept the series close for a while but it was never sustainable because the cost of containing Curry was murdering his own team's spacing.
Lol @ Kobe playing PF
It wasn't sustainable because they had 6 nikkas playing and nothing on offense outside of Bron.
They had nothing on offense but Bron because their spacing was completely jacked. People kept screaming for Mozgov and TT to play together to 'dominate the glass' but that was a one trick pony that got figured out quick - and why people were scratching their heads when they saw Mozgov getting postups.
The extremely oversimplified short version is that the Cavs didn't have the depth to compete. Its not wrong. But there was a lot going on in that series. Tons of moving parts. Everyone going wild about Kyrie going out - but in reality Love was the dude to get them over the hump and there's no way in hell Kyrie is going to commit to doing half of the shyt Delladova did on the defensive end for more than a quarter. I didn't even comment on it because too many people were sucking ESPN's dikk for knowledge on it.
Spacing was jacked because nobody could hit a 3 to save their lives. No on else could create their own offense either, save Mosgov. I'm not sure how any of that relates to how they defended Steph though. It was pretty effective for the better part of 4 games and the defensive end was never their issue. It is pretty simple when you think about it. The Cavs could compete with the original iteration of GSW. Once they went small the Cavs had no means of countering as size was their only advantage. Having Kyrie out there allows them to go small, allows Bron to take a breather every so often, and keeps Delly in his box where he belongs.
