Free throws is what will allow Cavs to beat GS where ROX could not

Those are called "Facepalm" Turnovers...because that's my reaction when those types of turnovers happen.

 

I think not turning the ball over a bazzzilion times plays a huge role in winning

 

We can have 1 big who is bad at free throws. Not multiple bigs who are bad...

The FTM > than FT% argument makes sense ONLY IF FT% is higher than the team's 3 pt adjusted total shooting %, and that's if you are shooting 50% or better on FT%

(Josh Smith needs to improve his ft% or gone cause DHo FT% is a lost cause)

 

Having one guy glued to curry all game helped a lot too

 

I actually agree with you for once lol jk. But having bev would have helped alot, he's the type of defender that gives any player fits, especially a player like curry who doesn't like to get to the hoop. The fact that he missed so many shots and still shot 15 3s shows the type of player he is and his mentality. If he doesn't make his shots he doesn't do much else. No attacking the paint no defense no rebounding and no playmaking which surprised me. Klay Thompson outplayed him by a long shot and kept them in the game.

Obviously curry isn't going to miss that many shots but that's how you gotta play defense on him make him attack the paint he's allergic to it. I saw him get in the paint atleast 3x and kick it out for a contested jumper when he had an easy lay in.

 

LeBron isn't even a great freethrow shooter.

 

Don't get ahead of yourself. Cavs aren't winning this series.

 

Is it Opposite Day? Our best big free throw shooters, D-Mo and TJ, shoot around 60%. Howard is worse, Smith is in a league of his own, and Dorsey can't even hang with Smith. Capela shot in the 60's in the D-league and his shot is improving but the hacking strategy works against FOUR of our players (Howard, Smith, Dorsey, and Brewer). Something's got to give. Trevor Ariza is the tallest guy on our team that's a threat at the free throw line.

All of our bigs are bad at free throws.
