obviously not. honestly, its pretty obvious that curry and klay heat up when 'challenged'. Zero challenge here. They probably pity Lebron, cause he has to play on such a Godawful team
haha at people who thought LeBron is going to win now that Kyrie and Love are back!!11 They were able to win 2 last year because they were OUT and were replaced with defense. Love and Kyrie play zero defense. They are worse with them against the Warriors than without.
You can only let the brilliance of one player go so far...Coaching matter in moments like this. Kevin Durant and Westbrook were coached and it showed. Curry and the Warriors are gonna end this series rather quickly. The Cavs dont deserve this stage...And Lebum thinks he is just gonna overpower the "cerebral" Warriors. The Cavs have ONE chance to win in the post, and their goal should be to DOMINATE the post. Love should be the most important player for the Cavs this series. Lebron just doesnt have the handles to get past more adept post defenders. Iguodala has owned Lebron through much of his career. Very smart defender that understands how to swipe down without fouling. Green is just as big as Lebron, and Klay has the height to contest. There is ONE solution for the Cavs...Lebron has to go nuclear AND Love has to own the paint on offense. And the team must rebound as a UNIT. I was way too generous giving the Cavs 3 games. I realized that any more than 2 was a joke. The Warriors bench basically whooped the Cavs. Anyways back to my cryo-state....
Despite this loss, I don't think the Cavs looked overmatched. They can beat the Warriors if they up their effort and intensity...they showed flashes of that in the third quarter. It looked like they prepped solely for Curry and Klay...and forgot about the rest of GS, especially their bench. I don't think the weak East adequately prepared the Cavs for a team as good as GS. If it were OKC instead of GS, the Thunder would've probably won game 1 by 10+ points. Cleveland never looked this soft in last year's Finals. I predict a much stronger effort from them in Game 2. Shawn Livingston though is likely going to continue being a matchup problem for Cleveland.
I have never been enamored with Love Do people still think he is a top 10 player in this league? I never really did LeBron will probably go to 10 straight finals and still only have 2 rings Rocket River
It's a 7 game series for a reason. GS bench outscored Cavs' bench 45-10. This will hopefully be a 6 or 7 game series.
I mean i'd take Love on the Rockets especially since were not going to play D or care for it. CAVS are better off trading Kyrie for CP3 and sign and trade Love for Dwight or Whiteside.
Probably sucks for cavs since they did not really have a team that could prepare them to play against gsw. Gsw just won a 7 game series that probably made their team chemistry better while the cavs were sitting at home.
