Not couting the Game 3 rout, The Cavs barely cracked 40% from the field in the first 4 games Bogut played.
Well lets see....The Cavs shot 38% and 35% from the field in games 1 and 2. The Dubs shot 49% and 54% in those same games. The Cavs shot 52% and 47% in games 3 and 4, while the dubs shot 42% and 40%. So through the first 4 games, the Cavs shot amazingly better at home, than they did on the road, and the Warriors did the exact same. Bogut played in all 4 of those games. It's a given teams shoot better at home than they do on the road. Anybody who has ever played knows this. Did Bogut play when the Cavs shot 35% on the road in Toronto? Seems like your reaching trying to attribute the Cavs poor shooting to Bogut, when he barely played 10 minutes a game.
After he got hurt they shot almost 50% combined in the last 3 games.
They shot 50% combined in games 3 and 4 as well. Bogut was healthy in both....
But Bogut had no impact apparently, it was all Ezeli protecting the paint at the start of this series
I watched every game of the series, and to say Bogut had no impact would be a lie. But a guy that plays less than 10 minutes a game in this series being the main factor in them loosing.....I aint buying that....you gonna have to reach a bit further... Cavs adjusted all series to what the Warriors did, so it's not out of the realm of possibilities that they would have made the right adjustment to account for Bogut and his 10 minutes.
The Cavs only made 8 THREES A GAME in this series. The inside/2 point game was their ONLY shot to win.
It was also the same shot OKC, and any other team had to win.
Your not beating the Dubs shooting 3's, your best chance to beat them is by slowing the game, controlling the boards, being physical, and punishing them in the paint. The game-plan has been out, but you need the right personnel to execute it. Most teams just don't have it.
Keep thinking that the Cavs won playing gimmick ball brehs, the results are right in front of your eyes
