So tactically, what can the Cavs do to defeat the Warriors?

True but if Korver isnt hitting shots what does he contribute to the game? As a matter of fact, who is he even guarding? :ohhh:
lol that goes without saying just tired of the overreactions on this board.

slowing the game down is there best bet because going shot for shot with the warriors was a mess

It's a bad matchup roster wise. If Durant sees leflop guarding him he should be driving relentlessly gettin him in foul trouble. Because other than him there's literally nobody to guard Durant. Derrick Williams has no shot other than to take up fouls that would've went to LeGM.

I expect the cavs to play better but warriors won by 20 with only 2 players scoring in double figures and klay dropping bricks.

Lebron needs to stop trying to drive, seriously, its not working in his favor, even when he uses it to bait the double team.

Kyrie needs to stop playing hero ball, we don't care who you cross, if you're missing and not putting major points in.

Love needs to drive in more, surprise the Warriors with some intimidation, he's way too passive.

Jefferson, needs to sit more, you can see the lack of stamina getting to him.

They all need to stop shooting three's, and make it a jumper oriented game. Slow it down and score the positive 2 instead of the iffy 3.

1.Lebron needs to go into attack mode,which I believe he will for the rest of the series.It was a close game in the 1st quarter.Mainly due to Lebron being aggressive.He took 8 ft's in the 1st quarter alone.

2.Kyrie needs to be aggressive without taking quick,low percentage shots.

3.Limit the turnovers

4.Rebound the basketball

5.Lebron,Kyrie and Daron should play faster in transition,but not the rest of the team,if that makes any sense.All 3 players a capable of getting easy baskets in transition.

6.Role players,Role players,Role players need to step up(Thompson,Smith,Korver)

7.Force Green to make shots.

8,Talk to the officials before the game about the antics of Iggy,Green & ZaZa(hooking arms,slaps on the wrist,pulling jerseys)

Nah. She's been lowkey throughout Bron's entire career. I doubt she's going..... Wouldn't put it past mom dukes & Bron orchestrating something like this:

And to answer the OP's question, absolutely nothing outside of colluding, cronyism, and snitching.
what that gotta do with what i said ?

They need to take one of the big 3 out the game early. The only feasible one is steph. They need to attack him hard. it's tricky since steph is avoiding switching and is hedging hard then running to get back to his man, Just as the big in the back slides over to cover the paint. However the screener on steph needs to be a midrange shooter or a quick passer because after the roll either the screener or a wing will be open.
klay been took himself out since the playoffs started and the cavs still lost by 20 :troll:

Just looked at the game 1 stats for the 1st time

Fg%
Cavs:34.9
GS:42.9

FT
Cavs:20-25
GS:11-16

3PTFG
cavs:11-31
GS:12-33

Reb
Cavs:59
GS:50

TO
Cavs:20
GS:4


TT:0-3/0p/4r(1 defensive rebound)
JR:3p/0r/0a/2to/1-4 fg


Plain and simple,cut down on the turnovers.Get a little more production from TT/JR....TT needs to get 12-14 rebounds,and finish around the basket area.
