What would your gameplan be moving forward if you were Coach Lue?

1. Invent a time machine.

2. Run various types of plays, and when Cavs miss shots use said time machine to go back in time 24 seconds and try a different play until Cavs make a shot.

This the only hope of the Cavs winning this series.

Durant smh

That **** is mad work.

Cavs just need to trott out a nude Rihanna and hope that slows KD down enough on the offensive end

Start Frye and Shumpert over Smith and Thompson.

Also when Bron goes out please stop playing 3-4 guards at the same time with Love or Frye. Put Thompson and Derrick Williams in. D Will, Irving, Korver and Shumpert or Smith lineup isn't cutting it lol.


Also I'd start committing hard fouls in the paint. No easy baskets. Stop playing iso ball on offense. Run more screens for your shooters.


Really it doesn't matter they are no match for the Warriors.

James Johnson would be a great fit in Cleveland but they're broke

 

[hardens beard]

Wasn't one of Durant's boys smashing Rihanna at one point

 

[MVP]

They're going to be hella bans on elimination night.

 

[junglejim]

Wades knees would explode and bosh literally may die if he plays again. That team is getting washed

Regular season matters

You can't beat gsw because they automatically have hc which means they automatically are going to go up 2-0.

Gotta find a way to give them a few L's in the regular season so that they can start a series on the road.

If the cavs really are the 2nd best team in the league (they aren't) then they have to take a more serious approach to the regular season so that if a finals matchup happens they can open at home.

They honestly built some terrible habits on the defensive end during the regular season. They really took a step back on that end this year.

The thought of McGee getting a ring before Wall, Beal etc

Aint nothing wrong with Javale getting that ring before them guys. He been in the league longer than those guys and for some of the stupid plays he's made (or not made) he deserves a chip.

 

[michigan]

None of those other minor things matter one bit: Cavs losing Delly, gaining Korver, etc. There is only one difference between the 2015-16 versions of Cavaliers and Warriors, and the 2016-17 versions of Cavaliers and Warriors that matters and we all know what it is.

Oh yeah, and Delly was actually pretty trash last season. He was better the season before, when he was accused of being dirty and played like his life depended on it, and prevented Stephen Curry from winning the Finals MVP.

True KD is the reason why but Korver and D Will have been straight trash. Giving up easy baskets in the paint. Giving up open 3's to Curry and Thompson. Plus they aren't doing anything on offense either.

The NBA needs to start over. Just clear everything, hard cap, throw everyone into a pool, make a draft, fill your rosters out pickup game style. That way every team basically gets an all star/ semi all star if they pick right

In 5-7 years we would be right back to where we are now.

Unless in this start over hypothetical the players union just lays down and rolls over for "fairness".

Also the whole if teams choose right is more critical than you think

Not serious, but I mean you wouldn't have 4 all stars on 1 team. We're starting from scratch so we go in reverse order from best record who gets # 1-30. GS goes first, they take KD, #2 gets Steph,
then LeBron, then Kawhi, then Geannis, then Russ, then CP3, then AD, or whoever. Generally everyone 1-24 should end up with an all star, like nobody is going to select Luol Deng yet. You have a few bordelrine all stars like Cousins, Wade, etc. Everybody's first player should be an all star or almost. After that, we're all at the point of role players, unless you gamble on someone you think is on the comeup you're going to have a starting point of 1 all star plus role guys, all of whom were drafted 30 picks apart, so nobody should end up with all the Paul Milsaps, Andre Iguodalas, Serge Ibakas, etc.

You still have to rebuild the cap and FA rules too but now you started as fair as possible.

stop... we all said curry didnt have that movement that he usually has  . he couldnt shake kanter and adam off the dribble , lots of people mentioned it in the wcf.

. just cause he said he was back didnt mean anything .. actions >words.  it was clear as day curry wasnt even moving like his normal self last year. he was nowhere near 100. 

No one was talking about Curry still being injured during the Finals.

He was mainly getting clowned for thinking he was in an NBA Street game with his infatuation for behind the back passes.

 

 

I wasn't talking about the Steph injury though. Iggy being hurt, and Bogut being hurt mattered to me though. His rim protection mattered even if it didn't show in the numbers. LBJ went straight to the rim and was the tallest and biggest player on the floor once Bogut went out.

But yea you're right. The cavs did have to win those games which they did, credit to them for that. But the circumstances around those games I don't ignore that's all.

Fair enough.

 

[MVP]

Question? Were the 2012 Celtics and 2012 Heat both superteams?

 

[junglejim]

I like what the league has done with some of their recent cap rule changes though. Letting teams give players who were all nba teams a crap load more cash than any other team should help this situation a little bit.
