 Lue has to sub guys out every two minutes. Irving is just pathetic on defense. Every time they put him on Barnes, he took him right to the rim and scored without resistance.

 Love can't guard a chair, and its not like you can sit those guys because you do need their offense.
 Delly was getting torched by 6'7" Livingston.

 I'd be surprised if the Cavs won two games at this point. Curry and Thompson has their worst offensive output in two years that won't happen again.

It's just that, offense wins games.

jefferson is also a horrible defender. what is he even good at at this point?

frye isn't great either.

they have failed miserably at constructing a bench. and too many bad defenders overall.

i'd start shumpert and move smith to the bench. the bench needs scoring, and the starters need a role player who doesn't kill them when the ball is not in his hands.

I'd say it's just one game. But the game the Cavs lost so far was one where Curry and Thompson were not the best 2 players on their team that night. We know that only happens 1-2 times a series. They got beat by Shaun Livingston.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

  • Peace it's a board. We all will never agree.

Way to Go Shaun. He could be  a cav but they are not that bright. They gave 2 1st round picks for a bench warmer. And the future of the NBA for Kevin I choke Love, I am enjoying every minute of it. Lebron has no Clutch Ray Allen or Dwayne Wade. JR is scared.
Go Warriors!!!

They are streaky.... I would not say they are going to get swept....   The home team won... Lets see what happens next game.

I agree they are done but my reasoning is slightly different.

The Warriors pass the ball around and make sure opponents have to guard everyone. The Cavs come down the court do a pick and roll to get a good match up then iso, while their teammates stand and watch.

Give me the team that moves the ball over the team that strictly ISOs every single day.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

Really hope so....Cavs have MOST of my LEAST favorite (Hated actually) Players in the league.

JR Smith (dirty player)
Mo Williams (front runner jerk)
R.Jefferson (Bigmouth ex-Nets Jerk)...talked tons of smack about PP/Toine C's in past.
Shumpert (Knicks dirtbag)
James Jones (beat PP and Ray in 3pt.comp--ridiculously got hot one time in his life)
LeJerk---too many reasons to list

Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

Absolutely ridiculous to say a swipe at the ball that missed was a deliberate hit to the groin a few feet from the ref  ::)

Guess Delly should just play soft, bruise-free basketball like many seem to be advocating. If Delly is dirty then Marcus Smart is absolutely filthy considering some of his misdemeanors.

why does anyone want to jinx this!?!?!? I for one want LeBron to lose, threads like this do nothing but jinx this.

plus as far as game 1 goes if i'm the cavs and i'm looking at bright spots? i'm looking at the job they did on klay and curry. I'm sure they're thinking if we can at least cut what the bench did in half while playing klay n' curry the same way they might be on to something.

I think it's possible because while the warriors bench is solid, they're not winning this series with the bench going off for 3 more games.

And Adelaide comes to the rescue of the Aussie (I truly hope that is not a derogative). That was an intentional foul period. Only in the world of the NBA do they say that was an innocent swipe at the ball. I don't like the Warriors, but that was an intentional strike.
