I was on twitter and damn I didn't know people hated on Curry like that. How can you hate that man's greatness?

But I do agree with them on the media painting Steph like he ain't cocky. He's cocky as shyt, lol.

Cleveland gotta switch it up. That boo boo offense they used on Detroit, Atlanta, and Toronto not gonna work on Golden State. Oh and they BETTER start Mozgov, cuz Golden State ate GOOD in the paint. Cleveland had no rim protection AT ALL.

Game 1 would have been great for the Cavs to win but if they lose Game 2,i think it will be hard for them to win 4 out of 5 against GS

Espn right now showing how the attention curry gets on offense opens up lanes for everyone

Low key his 11 points were more impactful than bron and kyries inflated stats:sas2:

Rewatched the game and did some analyzing. Tbh, a lot of the Cavs mistakes are actually pretty fixable.

- They won the battle on both boards, which is good, despite being the smaller team.
- They missed 28 shots at the rim. Lots of bunnies missed by Kyrie, Love, and Bron. We'll probably see less of that Game 2.
- LeBron's defense on Curry was really impressive. Both off and on the ball, didn't think he'd be able to keep up with him like that.
- Their bench obviously gave them nothing while GS' bench scored 45. Things will probably level out in Game 2. Need to see more Channing Frye, not sure why he barely played.
- But the biggest standout to me was their transition defense. It was putrid. Like, not even for a lack of effort or anything like that, but straight up miscommunication and constantly losing your man allowing a guy to leak out for an easy shot.
- Their half-court defense was effective in locking down Curry and Klay but at the expense of allowing all the other Warriors to get freebies. Not sure why the Cavs treated them like they're ain't shyt scrubs, constantly conceding open shots to Green, Barnes, and Iggy, but we'll probably see less of that in Game 2.
- Also, when they abandoned that ugly 90's post up game and went with more PnR action in the 3rd they were literally unstoppable, so I'm sure they'll hit the film, see where their offense was humming best, and run more of that in Game 2.
- Finally, LeBron needs to just let that shyt fly. He definitely got worse at 3 point shooting, but he's not helping himself with his shot selection. What made him so lethal from 3 in Miami was the fact that he was very selective about his shots. Cleveland LeBron settles for too many between the leg step-back 3s, when that's not his game. Call for a pick, go around the screener, set your feet and launch. He's also pretty good at straight up pull up 3s like the one we saw in the 3rd. Anything else, he shouldn't be taking.

I shouldn't even have to say it but I think Game 2 is gonna be a much better performance. And hey if they can split it 1-1, they have the advantage going home.

the bench discrepancy is not gonna suddenly level out, thats wishful thinking
The warriors have 5 high level starters coming off their bench.

The reason why the rest of the warriors outside of klay and curry were getting freebies was because of the attention Klay and curry demand on and off the ball.

This team won 73 games for a reason, you can’t just shut down their offense

Cavs transition D was putrid because they have mediocre defenders. Also the Warriors have great spacing in transition with shooters all over the place making it near impossible to defend unless u have freak athletes like OKC.

I agree they need to run more PNR and less Love post ups and kyrie isolations. And I think JR will get going and the cavs will finish better around the basket.

But on the other side, the defense on Curry and Klay is not sustainable, they missed open shots all night.

It’s hard to see the cavs winning 4 games in this series.

They might win 2 out of sheer lebron grit and determination like last year but 4 would require some kind of warriors injury.

doing those things may lead to another player getting finals mvp and we know bron ain't having that. you don't get pretty stats for setting screens. he wants to emulate warriors and spurs but still get all the glory. steph let iggy get his shine for the sake of winning. Steph sets up Hella people and gets no credit for it.

fukk out of here nikka y'all nikkas stay making excuses for this nikka. You think Steph gets more attention than any other dominant player :mjlol:

Steph didnt win MVP because he didn't dominate like he should have and he was pretty average in the first 3 games
