The OKC that would have beat the warriors if it wasn't for some convenient choking by KDLol. But the Coli said Durant should have stayed in OKC and played the Robin to Westbrook's Batman.

@Don Ibiza Ibrahimovic lebron playing almost as bad as this thread title 
@ people taking about what type of defense needs to play in order to beat a team with:3 of the greatest shooters of all time
2 mvp's
2 players who have averaged 30+ pts
3 all league defenders
The best defense for cleveland is to:
1.Control tempo
2.Rebound
3.Limit turnovers
4.Hit open shots
5.Lebron/Kyrie both dropping 30-40 pts.
Cleveland needs to keep it simple on defense:
1.Switch everything
2.When GS gets a mismatch after a switch,double team,then rotate
3.Chase curry/Thompson off the 3 pt line.Both players are at their worst when they are trying to make plays off the dribble.
4.Play borderline(Hold,Pull jerseys,be more physical)
Durant is going to Durant...Last year in the wcsf he had games of 41 & 37 on Kawhi
The key to slowing down Durant is keeping him off the ft line and limiting his assist.But it's tough when you have shooters like curry/Thompson on the floor.
Why is he even still on the team
That
Don't get me wrong Lue is a good coach, especially in the offs. He has good ATO's, good with getting the most out of players, has good sets (especially when the team runs them consistently), BUT his biggest flaw is like every other coach that coached Bron the RIDE him WAY too much. He has to empower Love and Kyrie to right and steer the ship like leaders when Bron sits. They should have picked up a good, 3&D player that is good at cutting to sub for Bron to run with that 2nd unit of Love and Kyrie. IMO they have 2 too many specialists.
maybe next year lebron will strive to get HCA so he's not always down 0-2 in the finals
I think the downfall for bron is trusting players who don't fit in this league
Thompson had everyone fall for that hype and he got overpaid
He's not that great of a defender, he's only 6'7 but doesn't have he defensive iq, heart, strength, or offensive skills of draymond green. He is useless when he isn't rebounding absolutely useless
Jr smith and his nba 2k fadeaway threes are streaky at best and he is useless when guarding anyone that can dribble with either hand. If hey could combine jr iman as Tristan into one player this wouldn't be so bad
Off the top of my head I think they should have tried to pry a James Johnson, Jae crowder, serge ibaka, Gerald green type of wing or combo wing pf because they were so insistent to become a three point shooting team that surrounds bron and kyrie ISO ball that they allowed this defense that was great with delly and mozgov playing minutes in to Houston rockets east

22 mins in game 1, 21 minutes in game 2 for TT. Who would have thought Tristan Thompson would play himself out of this series? This Warriors team makes so many good NBA players unusable.
Exactly they went all in with the lebron and shooters trope, when it would've been better suited to have those type of players, still get adequate 3 pt shooting, but you get a little bit more dynamism.
