Cavs need to bring out the 2015 Blueprint

No Russian to guard the rim
No Aussie to bother Curry

Agreed. Posted about it in the game thread before seeing this.

Tristan Thompson only at 22 minutes last night. He's gotta play at least 40 in game 2.

Think they need to do more lineups without Kevin Love. They had him at center a bit. He can't be on the court unless he is NBA Jam levels of on fire. He is way too slow

Lineups with: Kyrie, Iman, Jefferson, LeBron, Thompson. Throw JR in for jefferson if you want.

or
Kyrie, Iman, Jefferson, LeBron, Thompson. Maybe throw Derrick Williams in there if you're desperate.
I know it's one game but I think the Cavs gotta sacrifice Love's offense(unless he's on fire) to get some type of defense

How come you didn't say shyt when this happened @GoddamnyamanProf -



A foul that was more obvious than anything the Warriors supposedly got away yesterday. A foul that directly ended up costing the Warriors the game. I can only imagine if the roles were reversed in yesterday's game (Cavs down by five points with a minute remaining and Curry slide tackles LeBron and doesn't get called for the foul - Cavs end up losing) how many posts you would have on the matter.

Lebron slipping and sliding was an accident, but yeah he grabbed his arm, shoulda been a foul. Then Lee jumped on Delly, that shoulda been a foul too. Clearly was getting sloppy and they were "letting them play" a bit too much.

Anyway, yes that clip from 2 years ago was a missed foul on Lebron. Because I'm not an obsessed, chronically dishonest psychopath, I have no issue calling things as they are. Meanwhile you're still denying plain reality millions of people witnessed yesterday.

at this juelzgif explanation.

The funny thing is, Lee was called for the foul on Delly. LeBron can use his entire body to take out Curry (who had possession of the ball) and not get called for a foul, but Lee gets called for a foul when he's attempting to go for the ball. That's not "letting them play", that's clearly a case of the officiating favoring Cleveland. That's clearly a case of the officials directly manipulating (intentional or not) the result of the game with a minute to go with a margin of only five points.

Then why weren't you as vocal then of something more obvious which arguably had more of an effect on the result, as you were yesterday?

Why weren't you vocal when Curry was mugged without the ball continuously all throughout the 2015 and 2016 Finals?

Why weren't you vocal when Curry fouled out in the '16 Finals on a number of dubious calls, some which were clearly not even fouls?

Meanwhile you're still denying plain reality millions of people witnessed yesterday.

I haven't denied anything in regards to what the Warriors supposedly got away with yesterday.
