The Cavs are going to get killed by Golden State

[lilteapot]

I'm afraid.

But I also won't watch the Finals so maybe it won't happen if I don't look

[LAZERUSS]

Agreed.

No answers for Iggy, Klay, Dray, Shaun, and Harrison.

[Vragrant]

It's funny, the Cavs are playing like Golden State. You can't out-Golden State.

Cavs are best team in the league right now no worries..

This, op needs to stop being an attention whore. He made this thread yesterday and another one last week too

[lilteapot]

No, they aren't.

Post your reasons.

[Kingwillball]

No, they aren't.

Post your reasons.

Watch them play and get back to me. They look more impressive than GS right now. Lebron with weapons around I will take every day plus Sunday over curry.

[LakersForlife]

lol no... i hate to say this.. CAVS are the best team in the league now that kryrie is the main man in cleveland...

I have seen them play. There's no reason for me to believe that they can defend like the Warriors can. The question isn't, can they score with the warriors, the question is can they prevent backcuts, defend the pick and roll and close out on shooters well enough. They do not have enough to beat Golden State. They cannot beat Golden State at their own game.

[LAZERUSS]

Take Lebron away, and they are a 4-15 team.

Take GAC away from the Warriors...and 7-1 in the post-season.

Cavs offense has been most impressive in playoffs and they still have best all around player in world with lebron. This will be like Spurs heat 2 and payback will be sweet against GS. In fact they remind me of that Spurs team with shooters all over the court in fact more shooters than GS overall.

Sure, if you think a shootout with Golden State is a good idea, go ahead.

You reported yourself?

[MMM]

The Cavs have been playing the best ball in the playoffs and it all started in the last month and a half in the regular season. Unfortunately, most people here don't pay attention so they didn't notice Cle was finding their gear.

The Warriors, on the other hand, went into the playoffs exerting a lot of energy down the stretch to break the Bulls record. Curry going down also didn't help them establish a rhythm, but overall they haven't shown a consistently crisp level of play that we expect from GSW.

The best decision maker and pacemaker will determine who is going to be crowned this June and I don't know about you but I don't trust Westbrook or Green. Let me be clear that I want to see Curry run the offense even more than he already does instead of sharing crumbs with green and that Curry should activate hero mode and look to go for 50-60 each night.

Lazeruss needs a break from ISH. He clearly couldn't handle last night.

The Warriors didnt exert any energy down the stretch trying to break the Bulls record :wtf:

Its not like they were on 9 losses a month before end and needed to stay unbeaten until then...

they cruised into the record... they were well on pace to break it, and dropped their most games actually to end the season, as they couldnt motivate themselves.... unbeaten at home, then suddenly losing twice at home to the Timberwolves and Celtics.. really, they chilled to end the regular season, not sure where you get the exerting energy thing from.

[konex]

I think the OP is wrong. Kyrie has arguably been the best player in the playoffs. Who guards him? Certainly not Steph :roll:

And Cavs will trap and switch everything. Unlike other idiot teams, they won't let Curry beat them by himself...

[PP34Deuce]

Cleveland has the pieces to defend the warriors.

Shumpert and JR smith can play defense on Klay.

The match up to watch to me is Lebron and Iggy. Iggy is super strong and if they move Lebron to the 4, I expect Kerr to move Iggy to the 4 to shadow him. Lebron has to take advantage of that match up and get iggy in foul trouble.

Kyrie has a better midrange game too.

Your theory is based on what?

Warriors have shooters, Cavs have shooters.

It's not going to be a cake walk for the Warriors. OKC can't shoot period. Or as consistently as the Cavs.

really should have been coasting down the stretch but they deficiently picked up some bad habits in April. They still get too sloppy with the ball and make terrible decisions and that really started in the stretch vs. the Jazz, Celtics, Wolves when they were turning it over 20 times agame

OKC has been doing a ton of switching ...


good luck with kyrie and k love on islands lmao

[moongaze]

Do the refs call the game clean? That's the question. Golden state gets away with a lot of garbage out there on the court that affects the game. Does draymond get flagrants and technical for his dirty play? Do they call the moving screens?

idk.. do they call tristan thompson over the backs? Lebron stiff arms and clear outs?

Something tells me you guys wouldnt want that.

Lol funny cause Kyrie locked teague up an entire series and locked down lowry and played great overall defense in game 1. He's been playing great defense this postseason if you haven't noticed.

oh boy .. the same teague thats been shooting 39% for his last two playoff runs? Kyle lowry whose shooting 36% before kyrie?


you're in for a rude awakening my friend.

A rude awakening like how Delly locked up Curry last year?

a fresh delly is a much better defender than kyrie. :confusedshrug:

Teague shot 40 percent in the Boston series, 34 percent in the cavs series. Your point is to say that Kyrie is a defensive liability. If he were, teagues stats would not have been worse in the Cleveland series. Lowry, for as bad as hes been is still an all star and has torched the cavs this year. Where was he at in game one against defensive liability Kyrie? Sad you can't even admit he's been playing better defense.

[kamil]

2/7 Meltdown incoming!

you are right. Iggy will be the x-factor this finals if it is indeed GSW-Cavs.

If he defends Lebron at a high level and hits the open looks that he will absolutely get, good night Cleveland. He was a monster last finals even if it didn't appear that way in the stat sheet.

But that goes to show you that Cleveland can defensively take care of Steph, Klay, and Dray about as good as any team in the league can.

[arkain]

How is Cleveland going to guard Green? They don't have anyone that matches up with him. You could put Lebron on him but that's a lot of energy exertion for Lebron on defense.

[Inferno]

A rude awakening like how Delly locked up Curry last year?

People still running with this narrative :oldlol:

Delly had one good defensive game on Steph and had to go to the hospital after :lol Where was he when the Dubs won 3 in a row?

[Inferno]

Can't wait to see Love guarding Green :applause:

[tpols]

Delly had one good defensive game on Steph and had to go to the hospital after :lol
