    To be fair though the smaller lineup has generally been better for the Warriors all season.

    This is the Warriors unique strength. When their outside shooting is on, any lack of rebounding or defense doesn't matter. Green is versatile defensively. Opponents no longer have bigs that can dominate down low because those players don't exist anymore.

    So the Warriors made two changes.
    - Abandon any attempt at "going big" - eg. having Bogut in the game.
    - Shooting better from three. This is just shooting as much as anything. Iggy shooting opens things up.

    That's it.

    If you took out JR and Shump and gave them Brew and Josh Smith, the Cavs would be up by 3 games.

    They need to isolate LeBron on one side.
    Don't let the help defense come.

    You know the Warrior's other unique strength? Injuries to other teams.

    At this point Blatt should just rest the starters and play Marion and Miller.

    Cavs are too gassed. They need the rest. They don't have enough shooting to get them back in the game like Golden State does. This game is over.

    I don't get the fascination with Curry's family. Why don't they ever show J.R. Smith's family?
