Cav's defense

[Jasper]

is like swiss cheese

MAN UP

[Kvnzhangyay]

It's actually not that bad

[nineiron]

is like swiss cheese

MAN UP

no choice they have to follow Steph around with 2-3 guys

Lebron was doing great job on him one-on-one.
The Cavs as a whole just get lost so easily.

[senelcoolidge]

Aren't the Cavs one of the worse defensive teams? As far as playoff teams.

[Jasper]

man up , and contend with it

[Jasper]

they spend more time switching than defending :hammerhead: :banghead: :hammerhead:

[LakersForlife]

cavs defense = trash can

[IGOTGAME]

David Blatt would have been a big improvement

[Jasper]

game 1 , I bet because of their switching , they left a shot open 25 times. :eek:

That is terrible defense.:facepalm

Jackson, Rilies , Pop would of man up from the in bound pass and not let an easy pass or pick occur and SWITCHED.

I swear Cav's are confusing them selves , simply by switching so much.
As a defender in a finals, you don't leave your man more than an arms length away from you.
Warriors thrive on open spacing.

Cav's offense isn't bad , but Lebron and Irving are holding the ball to long... JR Smitch had 3 shot attempts in 32 minutes

[Lebron23]

They need to make some adjustments in Game 2.

[DCL]

pick your poison scenario

[Blue&Orange]

lol it's this a surprise? The moment they switched coaches they went to a fast pace run a gun with horrible defense. It's been that way since. But what matters is that Lebron's FG% improved a lot with all the fast-break easy layups, to counteract his historically bad shooting season, like worst of the league. Or people forgot about that already?


Lebron's first, team second. 2/7

[sd3035]

Hard to win with Lebald getting torched by role players all the time

[Jasper]

They need to make some adjustments in Game 2.

First off , don't let a man be an arms length away from you.

Triston Thompson was playing Green.
Bron needs to play Green straight up.

Shumpert needs to play Thompson straight up

Biggest matchup -
Irving needs to play Curry straight up.

Love can play bogut.

Jefferson can play Iggy

I didn't know 4-15 for 11 points is getting torched. Didn't also realize that Curry is a role-player.

[Jasper]

Cav's practice sessions before game 2 , better be DON't LEAVE YOUR MAN WIDE OPEN FOR AN uncontested shoot. :mad:

[Jasper]

1/2 way into game two and swiss cheese again.
IF the Cav's loss the series , blame it on their horrible defense.

Come on - a player in fast break , and you sag on him , while the Warriors are known to go 1 on 5 and pull up on the 3 :confusedshrug:

PLAY frickin' defense , MAN UP you weak a$$es.

[LakersForlife]

still the same defense fAK lue you clueless ****... warriors avg 20 dunks a game

[Jasper]

Game 3 showed definitely signs of what the CAv's need to do Man up and challenge every shot.

I still don't understand , when a guy goes into the lane , why a HARD foul is not taken :confusedshrug:

Some of those layups Warriors were taken , Cav's players acted like they didn't want to touch them.

Any case their defense drove their offense , and the Cav's with Jefferson with out a doubt looked better.
35 year old Jefferson , has more spring in his legs than ever before...

[Jasper]

Game 4 , challenging the shot , they still need to play harder on defense...

Hoping this becomes a legit series.

Nope don't think so.

[Jasper]

Game 5 was different in many ways , there hip to hip defense starting to affect Warriors players , but Thompson still had way to many shots.

Green in game 6 will change defense again , but if Bron plays him straight up , it will be a difference maker.
I can not tell you guys how many times Green was left open for a 3 point attempt , with no one around , but that needs to be stopped.

Game 6 will be interesting from the defensive standpoint.
