Should the Golden State Warriors be worried heading into game 3?

[louisvandross]

Idk, but some of the GSW facial expressions and body language show they don't want it. It's like well not to say their team or a player doesn't have "clutch gene" or a"killer" its something else. Like something has been weird those first two games. Like their too cool for school, so laxadazecal

This nikka mixed lackadaisical and hexadecimal together

remember where you heard it first!

Game 3 isn't a must win for either team. More pressure is on Golden State though cause their confidence took a hit last game. They're questioning themselves

no. its a must win. if you let cleveland win, they'll have even more confidence that this series will be theirs. gs needs to jump on their throats from the beginning.

I think GS relying too much on 3's

That's why I'm saying they need to get a low post scorer in some mismatches and let him get to work.

Green, Speights, Lee, etc

GS settling for jumpers and if those don't fall they're assed out.

All they need to do is get to the paint more really, stop taking contested 3's on a fast break and rebound.

That's their whole playstyle though. So basically Golden State just needs to switch up the entire way they've played all season and they'll be fine?

Only thing the Warriors need to be worried about is the disrespect from the officials. The officials treated them like an away team for most of games 1 and 2, can't imagine what may go down when they are actually an away team.

There were bad calls both ways, But LeBron got away with murder up until the closing minutes and OT, not to mention Mozgov and Tristan Thompson. Plus Bron travelled like 4 times during the game.

It's not so much that the Warriors are taking 3s, it's that they aren't moving the ball to do it and a lot of the threes are just dudes taking the shyts without any movement.

27 apg vs the Pelicans
26apg vs the Rockets
23apg vs the Grizz
20apg vs the Cavs

The pace and rebounding makes every last one of those missed 3s in isolation costly as fukk, especially since the Cavs unlike the Grizz can come down the other end and hit a 3 as well.

I mean, by that standard, every game is a must win

They have players they can go to in the post

And yes.. It's called Adjustments


They can switch the game plan enough to make Cleveland re-adjust and to wear down the perimeter players.

I'm like, if they act like this in GS, imagine how they gonna act in Cleveland


Lebron shooting 30ft's tonight

Breh, it's too late to change their winning model. They're a shooting team for better or worse. They just need better ball movement. If Popovich was coaching this team they would have blown out Cleveland both games

You make adjustments bruh

They already did it a couple times in game 2 and were successful... So you're trying to tell me they can't do it a couple more times tonight?

All it is is setting a pick and giving the ball to the bigger guy in the post. Cavs weren't using Lebron in the post that much until Love went down... They adjusted. No one is saying GS to play that way the entire fukking game, they just need to stop taking so many jumpshots and that's ONE way they can do that in the half court.

 

[Maluma]

legit LOLing at these idiots who don't see that the cavs have been tied or leading the warriors in 80 out of 106 minutes played. Or the fact that they just won an NBA finals game despite shooting 32.7%. Or that the Cavs have the better defense right now. Or that Dellavedova is gonna give Curry some problems. Chef needs to work on scoring on Delly first. Baby steps.

 

[Illuminatos]

Yeah my bad that was the Warriors Fg%.

Even more amazing. Cavs shoot 32% and still win and all I here are dudes saying GS needs to just "shoot better."

So what happens when the Cavs start to shoot better?

We already see the Cavs can win even with a lower FG% than the Warriors. So what happens when dudes like JR and Shump get hot? LeBron? Dellevadova?

Apparently a 20 point blowout happens.
