[2017 NBA Finals] Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

Klay Thompson is like a kitchen faucet. Either hot or cold, he gives you a bunch of points, no steals, assists or rebounds

 

He also gives you very good defense regardless of his shooting. This is what makes him a great player. He still contributes if his shot isn't falling and he'll not miss too many wide open shots so can't just leave him open even if he is cold.

 

lebron 21 points in 12 minutes

cavs still down 44-43

 

Lebron is just incredible.

 

Derin Williams wow what a turnip

 

Tyronn Lue sucks as a coach... yeah let's keep running up and down and shoot quick shots like the first 2 games. That worked out nicely coach.

 

Meh he tries, but superstars like harden aren't bothered by him when they are locked in. Drayton bothers the Westbrook's and hardens of the world far more than klay. Isn't klay like 132nd defensive box plus minus among guards

 

Yes, but it's better than running LeBron into the ground with heavy minutes and all the responsibilities on offense.

The Cavs need to throw caution to the wind and try something different or else this will be a sweep. LeBron is playing at legendary mode yet that won't be enough to win a single game.

 

damn lebron cooked durant there.

 

Meant to say draymond

 

Mannnn. Lebron doing everything to keep the Cavs in this.

But it looks like just a matter of time. Once Lebron stops shooting 90%, the Warriors will take over.

 

or once he sits. gs outscored cle by 10 in like a minute when bron sat at the end of the quarter lol

 

tristan thompson low key been soft as **** on the boards this series.

 

Can't just look at stats as they are deceptive. You have to look at who he is guarding and how much more effort he causes the offensive player to exert even if he scores.

For example, if Irving is scoring but has to exert more energy to shake Klay it would affect his energy level further into the game and also his energy for defense. But these things won't show up on the stats (or at least not in a way that credits Klay).

 

Wasn't Kawhi not in the top 50 in defensixe plus minus this year? I still don't love the defensive metrics

 

Curry fouled lebron on that steal lol

 

looking just like the first 2 games.

cavs hanging on by a thread in the first half only for the warriors to blow the top off the building in the 2nd half.

 

Gotta admit. The first half of these games are just incredibly fun. Such high level basketball execution.


Too bad the second halves are all blowouts.

 

Lebum needs to act like a goat instead of throwing his hands up looking at imam shitpert.

 

The last few possessions show why Cavs can't run with Warriors. The tempo back and forth was too much.
