I doubt the quick double team off screens will work against GSW. What will CLE do to hide Love and others in the PnR?

Doesn't 96% of everyone tho...
You hear an opinion that you agree with and you take it as your own.
That's how sports media is designed.... Wide range of opinions chose the one you like
This is true and if wrong you just flip your original opinion and hopes no one digs up those post and put you on that summer jam screen

Yeah, they're going to do that but what's going to happen when the paint is wide open and you got guys attacking the paint? Best believe you're going to have guys floating around the elbows and corners waiting for the pass.

The one thing that amazed me about last night was when Curry would go to drive, there wouldn't be a person to help in the paint withing 10 feet. It was crazy.

The main reasons why I see this series going 7 in favor of the warriors and not the Cavs is because you have two of the best shooters in NBA history in Klay and Steph, GS has athletic play makers all over the floor, and their motion offense of constant ball movement and screens is the best in the league. The cavs aren't an athletic team outside of Bron and maybe Kyrie so they're gonna have matchup problems all over the court.
Potential starting 5's
GS
Steph
Klay
Iggy
Dray
Bogut/Ezeli
Cavs
Kyrie
JR
Bron
Love
TT
GS has the advantage in 3 out of the 5 matchups with the Cavs. I think the closest one to call out of those is Kyrie and Steph, but the rest are pretty cut and dry. And when you compare the benches for the Cavs and the Warriors, that's where GS gets even deeper.
GS bench
Speights
Livingston
Barnes
Ezeli
Barbosa
Cavs
Shumpert
Delly
Frye
Jefferson
Even the bench is full of playmakers and live ball scorers for the warriors. But I wouldn't count the Cavs out though.
To me, this is a legacy defining series for Bron. I expect him to come out guns blazing with over a weeks worth of rest ready to go. Hope to see a great series.

Dubs, in two. Seriously, 6. But I don't think it will be easy by no stretch, the Cavs won't roll over and Bron has something to prove. But boyyyyy, if the Cavs lose, there will nowhere for Bron to run and no excuse to hide behind.

This is lowkey why I don't even pay much attention to sports media. I'd rather come up with my own opinion

Good point I don't know if ive ever seen cavs work hard on defense besides gambling this year against bad teams..jumping passing lanes etc..warriors will back cut them to death if they get up to close theyve getting burned on that that's why I would get Tristan in foul trouble quickly..no rim protected no help layup line to drive and kick..they don't have that okc length I this series..
- 16,939

Honestly, if the Cavs lose, I just want to hear Lebron tell me how my life sucks again. The jokes on him this time, my life doesn't suck, it got just a little better, but only by a margin. I finally paid off my 2000 Kia Sephia LS, with optional tachometer. 300 bucks back in my pocket, take that Bron.

If the Dubs dont do those ******ed inside (forced) passes and careless turnovers then theyll be ok.

Yeah, the turnovers for the Warriors will be the main key, imo. Cleveland's half court game ain't that great so those easy transition buckets for the Cavs are something the Warriors will need to maintain

What a game last night. Rooting for the Warriors. Anyone but Bron
- 10,486

That's the biggest issue for the Cavs, man.
Cleveland does NOT have the same length and speed as the Thunder. They won't be able to switch everything on defense and have their bigs out on an island on the perimeter guarding GS backcourt. It's complete suicide for the Cavs.
Kyrie, JR, Shump, Love, and Jefferson will have to play the defense of their lives. They'll have to stick their men and not be allowed to be screened. There needs to be pristine communication and give a consorted effort. Those players have never shown sign of this in the past, and they won't learn how to do it overnight or by Thursday night.
These games will be close, but the Cavs don't enough defensive intensity to do this. Not unless you got guys like Delly and Thompson showing up on both ends.

^^^ Good luck with TT. He got his money, he doesn't have to play d anymore.

Curry going to the eat every Cavs big in the PnR.
Shouts to Love, we definitely going to see him Milly Rock.

can someone give me a scouting report on TT's defense? from what i recall, he's athletic, pretty mobile, athletic, lengthy, but doesn't really defend as well as one may assume.

Honestly i can't decide which team i hate more.
So im just happy one of them will lose and we will have guaranteed slander for one of my least 2 favorite teams.
ILL BE DRIVING THE SLANDER BUS FOR EITHER TEAM BRAH!!
just to make it a finals related post for my boy ska.... Cavs in 5, i think
