The CAVS May Be The GOAT TEAM

[ikbm]

So what is golden state gonna do when Tristan Thompson is on the bench and the warriors are forced to defend LeBron and Kyrie on an island?

How will Curry/Durant/Klay respond to an aggressive Cleveland defense that dares Draymond green and iguodala to beat them?

@Malta

Can one of you distinguised gentlemen answer please?

tristan thompson being on the bench limits their biggest advantage on the warriors....getting boards.
i wouldnt necessarily think its a good thing sitting tristan large chunks of the series
warriors would probably be better off switching all over and not getting completely destroyed on the glass
but who knows
also tristan is among the best switching onto smaller players as a big.

I think Draymond can make you pay, but we need to see if Iguodala is 100%, he's been having knee problems, if he can't give them quality minutes the death lineup doesn't work without him.

I want to see what the Cavs do when West is in the game, they could put Frye out there if David plays a lot of minutes.

IMO GS poses more mismatch problems than the Cavs plus the ball movement against Cavs somewhat lazy defense. I could see Cavs getting back door cut to pieces.

Exactly. At a certain point this shyt is economics. Diminishing marginal rate of labor. At a certain point adding more superstars doesn't make you much better. Superstars need room to cook

Well said

I agree

Tristan's pick and roll defense is incredible and he's an elite offensive rebounder

I just don't know how the warriors get stops when the Cavs play 4 knockdown shooters

Like....these dudes don't miss

Korver, love, Frye...these dudes gonna hit 40-50 percent of their 3s if they have space

Jr Smith and Kyrie

That lineup is tough

the same can be said if draymond is on.
i mean logistically....the warriors have a better chance at closing out on their shooters than vice versa
the simply have more length and versatile defenders
they'll make it a point to target kyle korver like they did when they 30 pieced them
this is all dependent on if bron is shooting 50 percent from 3 and shyt tho

YOU CANT PLAY LOVE, FRYE AND KYLE
AT THE SAME TIME
AGAINST GS.

THAT DEFENSE WOULD GET SHREDDED.

POEPLE FORGET
THE CAVS WOULD HAVE BEEN SWEPT LAST SEASON
IF LOVE DIDNT SUFFER THAT CONCUSSION
AND MISS GAME THREE.

THEY LOST GAME 4 BECAUSE
LUE DUMB ASS GAVE LOVE A BUNCH OF PLAYING TIME OVER RJ.

What's interesting is that the Warriors defense is better than the Cavs, but the Cavs offense is better than the Warriors and now the two are starting to normalize to the point that the gap between the Cavs/Warriors offense is just as big as the gap between the Warriors/Cavs defense. Their net ratings are now within 1.5 of each other.

Lol at thinking Cleveland will do anything but revert back to ISO ball

Cleveland winning hinges on whether or not their defense can step up like it did last year

 

[Truefan31]

Who cares. Still will have more rings which is more important

Well right now he has 3 to MJ's 6, so for at least 3-4 years you'll be wrong. LeGM does have 4 more losses than MJ though so he has that

@Malta @houston911
CLE DEFENSE IS STILL TRASH

BOSTON FINALLY STARTED HITTING OPEN SHOTS.

GS GONNA KILL THESE DUDES.

Their defense is trash because of 1 game

YOU DIDNT WATCH ALL THEIR OTHER GAMES THESE PLAYOFFS?

YOU DIDNT SEE ALL THE WIDE OPEN SHOT MISSES?

THESE TEAMS JUST BEEN SCARED.

Warriors will obliterate The Cavs. The Spurs without Leonard and Parker are to me still a much tougher defensive team than the cavs, ask the high powered Rockets about that.

​

In game three of the Raps series the raps were at one point 1-12 from three and they were almost all good looks. The keys to the game on the local TV was make open shots. These guys did not do that. The Cavs have been leaving players open all playoffs and just scoring on the other end. Not gonna work against GS

I understand you're high off the loss, but how is it 14 games isn't a trend, but 1 game is?
