The Chef Hires A Servant To Stop The Kang From Ringing: Cavs vs Warriors III

[C-NICE]

biggest factor for GSW.. rendering TT useless...

TT is supose to be a good PnR defender and rebounder..

but they got him tear dropping and stretched the fukk out of the paint..

not sure what the cavs thinks will be done better.. GSW so far playing the perfect game plan.. while not necessarely playing the perfect game

No biggest change is lebron HAS to play defense which in turn Thompson isn't as effective his man is constantly screening and moving Thompson was never a threat on offense other teams just didn't have the personnel to defend like the dubs so it's no chance for offensive rebounds.

What exactly does KD do to make curry better than he already is? We all saw how hoped he was the last two years. Nothing has really changed. Irving is what he is too. He's got a flashy handle and a great jumper and can finish at the rim with the best of them, but he's always been a mediocre defender and had cases of tunnel vision.

Think big picture breh and stop thinking about individual skills. Team concepts is what's killing your squad cause truth be told both teams are equally talented.

seems they want to clear the lane for kyrie though..

Ehh I guess. I really feel like shump should start and get some time on KD. Bron clearly gettin gassed tryna guard him and do everything on offense. They aren't stopping Durant either way might as well save bron energy.

Right Now to me, Klay Thompson is the MVP of the series so far

One of LeBron's greatest gifts can also be a detriment in terms of team construction.

LeBron has always been praised for his ability to run a team with his facilitating and high basketball IQ. This is undisputed facts. With that said, LeBron's inability (or is it unwillingness?) to play offball and let the game come to him on occasion means that his teams can be overly dependent on him. So when LeBron sits, the system sits. Is it that LeBron co-stars can't play winning basketball without him due to limitations in their own games, or is it because they've literally had no experience within their current team structure being tasked with developing their cohesiveness without the "LeBron System". Is it really that Wade + Bosh or Kyrie + Love ain't shyt without him, or have they been conditioned to not be shyt without him due the above? In a way, while LeBron has allowed Kyrie to flourish in his natural talent as an otherwordly scorer, it may have stunted his growth as a facilitator.

I feel similarly about Chris Paul's ball dominance. The difference is that him and Blake have both been injured on different occassions so often that LAC has learned how to run the team around Blake even when CP3 is hurt. I also wish Russ would let Oladipo control the offense more and also get Adams more touches (who I thought was going to make a big jump after last year's playoffs), but I'll fall back on that cuz I'm not tryna get into it with Loose.

Going back to my original LeBron narrative, on the flip side, Kevin Durant does not need to dominate the ball to be the best player on the court. On the contrary, KD's game allows for others to do their thing and he still finds way to have the most impact on the court. KD has the handle the facilitating ability to to also set others up, and does so in spots, but why would he do that all the time with teammates like Curry and Westbrook? Would be silly...

So with all that said, to those that feel you could swap LeBron for KD and they'd be even better, I actually disagree...strongly. They'd be worse because LeBron is nowhere near the offensive force KD is, he's not as versatile defensively, and the offense wouldn't flow as seamlessly.

Yeah, LeBron makes his teammates better, but his game also tends to stunt their growth to the point where their ceiling is a highly talented auxiliary component that loses their functionality when the masterboard is shut off for rest.

Lebron is basically Peyton Manning.

he's highkey right
especially for fans, way too many fans take sports too serious. Whether cavs or warriors win all our lives will be the same, won't be impacted unless you bet

Wait a minute.. Harrison Barnes had 65 points the entire 7 game series last year?! I didn't realize it was that bad until I read the preview for game 3 a short whole ago.

Kd with 71 in two games and Barnes couldn't get that in 7. fukking guy..

If you ever get a chance watch some of those games back. The amount of open shots that nikka missed was really insane.

I Remember yelling at the TV all series.. Begging for him to be benched or for people to stop passing him the ball in the corner. But damn.. Seeing the numbers now and contrasting them with his replacement. Wow.

 

[Stealth]

it's over nikka. Last year was a perfect storm of a fluke. Warriors should be 3peating if not for draymonds dumb ass

why not mention 2015 then when cavs didn't have love and kyrie?
