inb4 cavs put lebron on curry all series

[Nash]

and he completely shuts him down, Rose/Parker style.

[Spurs m8]

lolol

Curry would torch LeBald

[inclinerator]

it's not good they need his energy on the offensive end, i can see him guarding him at crunch time tho

[smoovegittar]

Iman will be earning his pay on him - not LeBron. Blatt's too smart for that.

[Da Hammer]

Lebron likes to roam around and play the passing lanes. Don't think he would be very successful guarding on the perimeter and trying to battle through multiple screens. That will take away a lot of energy from Lebron. He could get away with guarding guys like Rose cause he can't shoot and he could use his athleticism to stop Rose from getting to the paint. Terrible idea to put him on Curry.

whats with all these blokes that want to suck lebron off?
what is it, op?

Yup, OP is an idiot.

[Trollsmasher]

I think he could certainly shut him down in certain moments - he rarely falls for handles and Curry is not quick enough to expose LeBron - but he can't spend his energy on chasing after him for the entire game.

Save it for the clutch time.

OP is a drooling ass r.etard.

would be fun to see. either lebron goes under every screen, leaving curry open for 3, or goes over every one, leaving curry to torch mozgov or thompson. should be fun.

[aj1987]

Yeah, not gonna happen. LeBron needs to conserve his energy for the offensive end. Irving and Delly are gonna guard Curry. Putting Shump on him is retarded as well. That would leave Klay with a mismatch all game.

[JerrySeinfeld]

I imagine he will switch onto him for brief moments of the series.

I don't think he'll have much success though. For whatever reason Rose is really the only worthwhile PG (I guess aside from old ass Parker) that Bron has played good D vs in the playoffs.

Whenever he switched on Westbrook in the 2012 Finals, he got cooked because Westbrook was too quick and decisive for Bron to keep up with him. I imagine Curry will have the same success.

Derrick Rose is a bitch.

[ShawkFactory]

Obviously he won't guard him for the whole series.

In important moments? He was flying all over the court on defense last night. Nobody he was guarding could do anything.

[Straight_Ballin]

Forget the aspects of the coverage and the energy consumption due to running through screens, in what world would someone suggest that a 2/5 beta cover a prominent MVP? OP has gone full retard. You never go full retard.

Curry is a nightmare matchup for Lebron. Lebron is good at shadowing guys who can't shoot or occasionally closing out on shooters but he lacks the footwork and lackeral movement to guard guys who can put the ball on the floor and shoot as well.

This will end up like Lebron's attempts at guarding Dirk in the 2011 Finals.

he can guard dirk just body him up and hope a foul doesnt get called

[edrick]

Lebron trying to chase around a tiny ass dude that has far less minutes played. Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. :rolleyes:

Kyrie (if healthy enough), Delly, Shump, JR, and occasionally Lebron.

[masonanddixon]

He can't even guard 36 year old washed up Dirk, what chance does he have against a Dirk in the his prime?

[nzahir]

As a lebron fan curry scares me a lot since defense doesnt really matter for him too much. He can score even when defended, alebit it makes it harder, he can still make any shot. Him and kd are crazy scary on offense; kd has the height but curry has the handles and some more speed.

Curry's quick release is scary as hell.

[RedBlackAttack]

Wow... that would be really dumb. Shump and JR will likely be sharing the defensive duties on Curry, with Shump getting all the crunch time minutes on him. Kyrie will also get minutes on him if he's healthy. I think Shump is actually about as good a defensive weapon as you can have against a guy like Curry. He has the height, length and athleticism and he's a really talented defensive player.

Or, maybe they'll use Shump to stay in Klay's shirt all series like he did against Korver? It's a really interesting matchup.

LeBron should be saving energy on Barnes and Green... or maybe even Bogut under the right circumstances.

shump will be over his face.. whenever he' go shump's will be there just like a horny bear in their mating season... :rockon: :rockon:

[sd3035]

Lebaldo is one of the worst one on one defenders in the league

Curry would torch that hacking traffic cone

Don't forget about Delly

you are an idiot. lebron would die on defense chasing curry around screens. curry does not play like rose/parker at all idiot.

[imnew09]

dumbest sh** I ever heard :facepalm

[JerrySeinfeld]

lolol

Curry would torch LeBald

yup

lol at this narrative again. "he's such a great defender they want him to guard everyone"

meanwhile good defenders like Iggy just get thrown on the other teams best player every play because they are actually good, consistent, reliable defenders.

Curry had the most room of the playoffs with LeBron on him last game and hit one of the biggest shots of that game.

Good defenders don't come out in a Finals series guarding Kendrick Perkins. Any hype LeBron ever had for DPOY or ever was going to have seemed pointless to me after witnessing that moment.

[veilside23]

if this would be the case then who would guard klay thompson, barnes , and iggy? remember if lebron would guard curry full court / half court then they could just let iggy handle the ball and both curry and klay would run around .

even if you put shumpert or smith on iggy he would be able to do damage .

[pauk]

The reason he could get away with guarding Tony / Rose / Westbrook and such (any PG really) is because he would give them just a tad bit of space / almost daring them to take the 3's/J's and still manage to at least contest the shot if they do with his length/closeout.... so if they drive he would be in position to intime lock em up and/or go for the block from the side/behind (which causes them into circus shots / lobing the ball into basket etc.).

But Curry WANTS to hoist long jumpers and he is probably the best ever at it and the release is quick like hell, he just flicks it up there.... so Lebron will have to be glued to him and there is the problem...... if he does that then Curry will be able to have advantage on the drive by....

On Curry you need somebody like Avery Bradley.... or freakin Mugsy Bouges.... somebody who will be absolutely STUCK on him like a leech.... fullcourt pressure and everything....

On him Shumpert would be the best & Dellavedova aint so horrible either.......

But we need to stop acting like Curry was a problem in Game 1 or something, they did a good job on him.... he didnt do much until Overtime where he hit some FTs....

[4 Inches]

Lebron don't wanna see Curry like he just spent all night on the toilet.

[Taller than CP3]

Lebron should do it if he cares about his legacy. Warriors would still win, but at least Curry won't win Finals MVP lol.

[sd3035]

If that happens, Curry will average 50
