And they pushed them to 6 with no consistent outside scoring threat. You put Kobe and shooters, or prime Pierce and Allen, or Wade and Bosh, or the Spurs shooters out there with them and they win. That flawed Cavs team pushed them just as far as Memphis did and in a similar fashion so I'm not sure what your point was there other than you probably don't like them or Bron so you felt the need to try to shyt on them for no reason.

Name the post when I said it was all about the front court? It's okay to let stuff ride. It's not necessary to create things to argue against just because you don't like what a person had to say and can't really rebut it.

If one man riding for his squad is enough to garner hate then fukk em all. I already pos repped you.pls just neg me
half the reason the coli hates the warriors is because of you
I would prefer Odom/Pau/Bynum over Zbo/Marc
They waltzed to the championship. Steph won MVP. Everyone got paid. Let it go.

How many games did Cleveland win with Iggy in the starting lineup?
They had no answer for the adjustment.

Good point.
How many games did Cleveland win with Iggy in the starting lineup?
Yeah that's why they lost
. Not sure how that relates to other teams with even better front courts AND back courts though . Once again:
The Cavs didn't push GS so much as they survived GS lol. Their entire gameplan was to go against what made them successful for a large part of the season. Every single playoff team that does that, loses. Also, all that interior dominance showed by the Cavs was a direct detriment to their own offense. Like... there was no way that Cleveland was winning that series without Love. Even then it was a stretch to say that they'd have won with him because Love isn't going to be hedging 30 feet out like Tristan was.
Memphis didn't even need an outside scoring threat. Tony getting injured and Conley's face falling out had more to do with it. There was absolutely nothing similar to the Cavs zoning themselves out of their own offense to entertain a gamble against Curry for a few games and Memphis beating the brakes off everyone GS's entire starting 5 at the same time.
Also -
Wade can't shoot a 3 and has a history of getting leaned sideways by premier shooters - he'd have hit the same wall as LBJ. Kobe loves to shoot his team out of games, lets be reality, and got the clamps in the playoffs from worse defenders than Andre. Spurs....
they were a GOAT team of the last 20 years imo.Artest is the difference maker imo

How did the losing team survive?
So the Cavs did dominate inside?
Cleveland had limited options due to their injuries. They played the only card they had and once GS countered they were done.
Memphis didn't need an outside threat?
Okay that's 3 strikes. You just saying stuff to be contrary with no regard for making sense or even your own arguments.
It makes me hope Golden State repeats this year. This time going through a tougher playoff route.

Memphis didn't need an outside threat. They were doing just fine without it. The problem is that they couldn't sustain their offense with Conley being a zombie.How did the losing team survive?

And the Cavs won on the boards at the expense of their offense. That's not dominating. Yeah, TT and Mozgov out there at the same time meant they could bully for rebounds - but on the flipside, that was the easiest defensive job that GS had in the playoffs. Cleveland could either play them both and allow GS to play 5 on 3 defense with everyone arm's reach from LBJ, or the could stick one of them out there and hope for the best. That's not domination. That's a calculated gamble. Its no coincidence that Mozgov got nailed to the bench after his 'best game'.
Cleveland had other options... Don't think any of them would've worked better than what they tried though. Even healthy, they'd have been dealing with issues that were just as severe.
They were doing just fine until of course they lost
. The Cavs had no offense breh. Their offense after Kyrie went down was Bron pounding the ball into the ground for 20 seconds and missing a shot or passing it somebody else to miss and then getting the board and doing the same thing again. Mosgov got nailed to the bench after Bogut got nailed to the bench for not putting up a fight inside. The Warriors changed a starting lineup that won them 67 games and 3 playoff rounds because the Cavs were sacrificing their offense and gambling
. If none of the other options would have worked any better, what exactly is the point of discussing them? So you think a team that struggled to score would have had similar issues with two 20 point scorers added?
