TERRIBLE post. Leave their two best players wide open for a second straight game and pray they have another off shooting night together :russ:

They weren't open. Bron had Steph frustrated as hell shadowing him and the Cavs as a whole shut him down. No need to change it next time because Livingston, Barbosoa and Iguodala aren't gonna combine for 50 pts on 70% shooting for the course of a series.

Klay was more open but he's streaky as I said. :manny:

One thing being ignored is that the Warriors bench's first run was with Lebron in the game. After his hot 4-5 start against Harrison Barnes he played like shyt from the point they brought in Iggy. So not sure how this solution being proposed of Lebron stepping up and doing more is going to help the situation. The true solution is to stop having the ball stick and run an actual offense. Golden State is too great at rotating and cutting off lanes to the basket to think you can size them up and attack off isos.

Exactly. Cleveland's offense is far too predictable to even entertain the thought that they are beating Golden State.

Plus Bron is hesitant to take jumpers from range so they know he's just going to drive, or drive and kick. So easy to anticipate what Cleveland is doing on every possession.

Livingston and Iggy can easily average 15+ PPG on the series there's zero doubt about that. You can't treat those two like scrubs, Barbosa's more of a wild card than them as far as scoring goes.

You really can't live with letting the role players get off because most of them are capable scorers, the role player that usually has the hot hand for the Warriors is actually Speights and he barely played so you can't dismiss the role players like you can just live with them abusing your team. Gameplan needs to be adjusted again

Lue threw the game. He didn't play his bench (one of his biggest weapons — especially defensively) very much at all. He also didn't play them much with just 'Bron (the "death" line up), if at all. There was mostly this mix of some of the bench with some of the starters. It will be interesting to see how Game 2 goes.

Role players are role players for a reason. If you key in on Steph and Klay and challenge the role players to beat you, and the Warriors win and Shawn Livingston or Mo Speights wins Finals MVP, so be it. Not likely.
