My thoughts are scrambled so none of this blends together.
I can't believe how well Kevin Love played. He played with force around the rim that he hadn't all post-season and absolutely stuck Curry on the biggest possession of the game. He made him give it up to get it back. I'm still amazed by that.
Kyrie significantly outplayed Steph this series. He was not nearly the detriment on D people thought he would be and fave LeBron the secondary scorer he had not had since Wade circa 2011 and 2012.
LeBron did what he does. I did not think he was particularly great last night but he emptied the tank this series and putting him on Draymond made a big difference. Draymond made his 3's last night but you concede that.
I am happy that a team that can't post up anyone besides the occasional Livingston or Klay mouse in the house failed. They have little options when the 3 ball is not there. And as good as Draymond is - he only either straight line drives or shoots uncontested above the break 3's. He's great at his job but it is a very specific one.
If you can survive the onslaughts that will happen - I do wonder if all that split action just becomes easier to deal with over time - Cavs miscommunication decreased greatly as the series went on.
Curry was the target on defense all series. And he couldn't hold up. I was thrilled that the Cavs finally stopped just dumping it into LeBron in the post bs Iggy - playing the way they did last year was only going to be good enough to lose close. They needed to play with more pace and they did so.
I said throughout his career that coaching, roster and all the parts matter. It is amazing to me that a 2 minute stretch is going to define a career but those are the rules you all made - so so be it. He is one of the 5 best of all time and you really can't say a thing anymore.
Last night was the pinnacle of his career and the block, the play of his career.
I can't believe it actually happened.
