I don't think they can play Love at the smallball 5, I'd expect them to see if Derrick Williams can play some vs Draymond.

They might be able to matchup Frye with West when he's on the floor, they really couldn't play Frye last year cause the Warriors were short on bigs and basically just drove the death lineup into the ground.

goddamn brotha, we on the same wave length....cause that's the cat i was gonna say that i expect to get some playing time....

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Idk breh...I think Lue showed his hand with the Love/Jefferson combo to start 2nd Qrts... I think that might be it.

I'd like to see Derrick, but he really doesn't rebound that well and fell out of the rotation because of it.


We'll see, I'd be willing to play Frye vs West, especially if you make West take mid-range shots and trade them for the spacing and potential threes on the other end.

I think the Cavs need to take a play out what the Spurs did to the Rockets, which is overplay the 3 point line and give up 2 points. Don't overreact to penetration and leave shooters, you're never going to stop them from hitting threes, so try and stop them from taking a large volume of them and bank on beating them with your own shooting on the other end.

are you talking about against the 2nd unit?...if so, i could see that, but i highly doubt it....this gonna be a series where both teams go 8 deep for the main part and starters gonna be pulling heavy mins...
Idk breh..

I think Lue is going to play his starters heavy mins. I think GS is going to stick with their rotation.

Kerr counted on LeBron being gassed in 2015. It worked out. He had just enough last year to get by...it worked out for Bron in 2016.

I think thats very risky vs. the Warriors this year though.

He was "stellar" in the '15 Finals, he only had one bad game in that series and was great for pretty much the rest of it. Last Finals he was most definitely subpar, but it had a lot to do with his injury and the fact the Cavs forced the ball out of his hands as much as possible. KD's already proven himself on the biggest stage (see '12 Finals), and has done throughout the PS ever since. They both have. There should be no question marks over either of them.

:manny:




I swear Curry stinking in the 2015 finals might literally be the biggest myth that's perpetuated by people since that time when Tommy Hilfiger went on Oprah and said he didn't want black people wearing his clothes.

2015 only worked out cause kyrie and love were hurt, so bron did a lot more with no rest.....that's why it didnt work out 2016...

the warriors didnt bring kd in to not play him....him, curry, clay, and green gonna pull heavy mins....iggy, mcgee, clark, and livingston....that's gonna be your main group...west, zaza, and the rest will see time if foul trouble....

the same goes for the cavs...starters, then whichever 3 are playing well out of d will, d will, korver, rj, and shump....the ones not playing well will see more playing time cause of foul trouble....

...this the finals, you go with your horses...there will be plenty of time in between games for them to rest-up....
