I'm not saying he gets all the blame. People always wonder why Barnes is always getting blamed and that's why. Easiest job = easiest person to blame. A lot of Warriors played like shyt including Steph and klay, but give Cleveland credit they played good physical defense on both. Harrison Barnes on the other hand had wide open look after wide open look and missed them all.
Barnes got the Tony Allen treatment. They gave him all the open looks they could and was willing to live with the results and Barnes couldn't hit shyt.

Klay and Steph couldn't hit much in game 7. They hit their shots at the rate they usually do and y'all win that game, they make more than 3 more buckets than Barnes y'all win, Steph disappear in the 4th y'all win. :yeshrug:

They threw the kitchen sink at Steph. Their whole game plan was to leave Barnes open and force him to beat us and he couldn't deliver at all. At least Steph forced their attention so his teammates could get open shots.

They threw stuff Steph had never seen before and shut him down? What about Klay?

They threw the kitchen sink at him? It was one on one defense, Kevin Love locked him up in the end. :mjlol:

Klay at least can say he had 3 games in the finals where he scored 25 points or more.
But the most important game of the finals your two best players don't do what they need to but it's Barnes' fault :patrice:

Klay had 14 pts Barnes had 10 but it's Barnes fault :patrice:
Steph had 3 pts in the 4th but Barnes lost y'all game 7:patrice:

Barnes was the biggest reason we lost. He's your problem now. Enjoy.

You talking about one play and Love didn't even lock him up on that one play.
Love shut him down or Steph choked on his own cause he ain't on that level. Which is worse?

And yeah Harrison was open by design as the plan was to shut down Steph and Klay, and force the others to beat you. I said this would be a successful strategy after game 1 when the role players went off and even after game 2. "Nah wait til Steph goes off, it'll be over" they said. Little did they know that Steph would not be going off because he was effectively shut down according to plan, and when those role players fell back and proved why they're role players, the strategy was ultimately successful as I predicted. Props to Coach Lue and Coach Henny for outsmarting the agenda.

And FYI, if it wasn't Barnes it woulda just been more of those shots for Iguo...same result.
