[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Re: Warriors, Cavaliers Efficiency In Regular Season / Playoffs...ummm advantage Warr

Warriors were the #1 ranked team on both sides of the ball. I've mentioned this before. They can defend any type of team as they have the personnel. That's not the issue.

The biggest issue the Warriors have is that they're extremely careless with the ball. That's where the Cavs need to exploit that and get it out on the break during the turnovers but otherwise slow the game down.

The Warriors are about as complete of a team that you can have... so exploit the turnover problems and also exploit the fact they havent been to the big stage before..so they'll likely to make mistakes late in games like OKC did against the Heat.

I dig a lot of what's in this post....

One of the biggest things against the Warriors is being careless with the ball at times, and, being a jump shooting team, having never been on a big stage before. If they ever get tight, the first thing to go when tight is accuracy.

I don't see a lot of basketball IQ on the Warriors, but they run their system well.

With this being both coaches first trip to the finals, even though Kerr played in a few, if there are to be adjustments made, Leabrons experience and ability to capitalize might be an factor.

The Warriors don't have that calming influence on the court for the players to rally around...

Don't see this series as one sided at all...

Im not a Bulls fan nor do I hate the Warriors, but check my post, I only made two Warrior predictions and was right about both... That was the Warriors would lose to both the Bulls and the Cavs... This was not based on my love or hate of either teams, but rather style of play..
Its just like I would always pick a team like the Giants to be a team like the old run and gun Warren Moon Oilers, even though I liked those Oilers...
Its in the style of play of both teams..

I respect your opinion, but to say the Warriors are not a good defensive team is flat out wrong... no other way to put it. I'm sure I can cherry pick 3 games the Cavs played where they got smoked and say based off that, they are not a good defensive team.

I never said they were bad at the defense that they play, I am saying that style works well vs 90% of the teams and not so well vs teams that have to structure to bust it wide open...
My pics and comments showed exactly how and why it can be exploited while showing how it works perfectly vs teams who lack the skill to defeat it..

Plus they don't have a plan B if their outside jumper inn't falling they can't turn to the half court set. This is why they are sustainable to blowing big leads in a short period of time... Here is a perfect example where one more basket would seal the game, and instead they hold on the ball for 17 secs then pass around the perimeter and the only reason why they were able to get off this shot they missed was due to the blatant shove at the 05 sec, that went uncalled clearing out the lane for the layup that was still missed.. They were so inept at running a play that they were forced to risk their whole season with a blatant foul..
It worked out for them in this situation but not after failure after failure in the process...

Re: Warriors, Cavaliers Efficiency In Regular Season / Playoffs...ummm advantage Warr

They are ranked high but I tell you those numbers are highly skewed... Tell me how many points they gave up vs teams like the Cavs, Spurs and Bulls, because those are the only teams in the NBA that is capable of exploiting their style of play..
Matter of fact go back to the tape vs the Cavs and break down some of their deficiencies in that game..
Its like in the NFL there are some teams that are quick and fast and are great at getting sacks, often these teams would have great stats especially if they go up against primarily pass oriented teams..
But if they always lose or play bad against larger physical ground running teams then the only stat I want to see vs premium running team is how good are they vs running teams...
This is a common mistake many so called sports analysis get into when trying to predict sports especially ones that never played the sport..

The Cavs gave up more points to the spurs and bulls than Golden State did so what is your point exactly?

Re: Warriors, Cavaliers Efficiency In Regular Season / Playoffs...ummm advantage Warr

Dude you are funny...Its a simple way to guard LBJ; Make him take jump shots; Spurs showed everyone how to do it; Its not hard; Dont double team; Hell of LBJ has 35, 40 so what; Give him different looks from different people and just dont late any of these stand still jumper shooters get open looks; If he makes the shoots then so be it, but everyone else wont, thats all that matters; Watch how GS plays them and they are going to do the same thing...

That is pretty much it. A bad game or even average game from JR Smith and the Cavs are down huge. Curry and Livingston are going to be a nightmare for Dellevedova.

Good point except what team was able to do it with out bigs packing the paint and with LeBron on a team that was able to stretch the floor with outside shooting....
Not only can this team shoot from outside better than those Heat teams that lost, they are able to rebound ten times better and attack the baseline for the back door lobs with their athletic bigs..
But what do you know about all of this stuff, out of all the names to choose from in the world you choose the worst name on BGOL, can't even get something as simple as choosing the right name right..

Re: Warriors, Cavaliers Efficiency In Regular Season / Playoffs...ummm advantage Warr

The question is how do you force LeBron into a jump shooter, with out packing the paint, and if you do pack the paint how to you hope to stop the jumps shooters from killing you with the wide open three..

To you its amazing and almost magical, but there is reasoning behind those predictions, I knew that there were three teams that could exploit their weaknesses, however the Spurs were kind of iffy so I held back on that one...
I was actually kind of leary of the Bulls due to Rose erratic play, but figured he would be up for that game.. I was actually wrong on Rose and he had a poor game but their front court and dominance off the glass was enough to beat them, even at home..

Answer me this, in the history of the NBA how many A-1 run and gun teams can you remember defeating an A-1 half court team with two playmakers and jump shooters? Exchange Cavs and Warriors with Magic and Jazz and I will still pick the bigger half court team, every time..

No one is packing the paint for JR smith. Klay Thompson is 6'7 and that step back 3 which is a low percentage shot is not going to cut it. You were talking this same shit about the Spurs last year and the Heat got the breaks beat off them. See the difference between me and you is that I am a true fan and respected the Spurs. You showed no respect for any team playing Lebron.

You still have not admitted that Golden State is a good defensive team despite being number 1 in the regular season and playoffs.

Re: Warriors, Cavaliers Efficiency In Regular Season / Playoffs...ummm advantage Warr

Same shit different team and year for Road Rage

Man post Bosh and Lewis at the perimeter now who the fuck they got guarding the paint? Ginnobli, Parker and Lennard..

With Lewis starting at PF who is going to guard the paint for S.A.

S.A. jumped the Heat last year, mainly due to them starting Battier at PF thinking he was in a mini slump.. In reality his legs was shot due to father time catching his ass.. As the result the had to help out in the paint with both Splitter and Duncan freeing the outside shooters, like Green, who feasted..
At the end they adjusted and was able to win 3 out of the last 4..
This year we wont have that problem, finally Spo took his head out his ass and decided to use Lewis and Birdman more. With Lewis, the Spurs will be forced to go small, like they did against the Thunder and by doing so there are no shot blockers in the lineup... Do that vs LeBron,Wade and even Cole is suicide..

Just answer the question... I know basketball, and I know the Heat will place Bosch on the perimeter, pulling Duncan, and Lewis is a big time three point shooter.. ONce this happens who is protecting the paint? You actually think Duncan at his age is going to be able to protect the perimeter and the box..
Do the math, how is this going to work out for them?

Its not going to be won loss by the bench, it will be won loss in the Spurs ability or inability to protect the paint..

Man yall was calling crazy for saying Durant don't have no handle, called me crazy for saying OKC don't play half court ball, and called me crazy last year after saying the Heat made the proper adjustment and will win it all... Say what you like, I right a hell of a lot more than the guys predicting the Heat to lose..

Shit almost forgot Ray Allen, now how good is that bench when you could forget Jesus...
The Heat have an devastating bench it just took this long for Spo to figure it out.

I still waiting to hear how S.A. are going to pull it off... Lets check the numbers
Last year the Spurs averaged 5.05 blocked shots down to 3.41 this season, plus last year they were able to play big Duncan and Splitter plus was able to pack the paint, due to Battier inability to hit the three and Bosh shooting very poorly. Do you guys really think that strategy would come close to working with Lewis and a better shooting Bosh?
If not then the flood gates are going to be wide open for a better Wade and LeBron..
I am curious and would like to know how you guys think the Spurs can correct that major flaw..

Parker will be a non issue if they cant protect the paint... Look Westbrook could have gone for 60 today vs that weak small line up, and think about it they were forced to go small because they were to slow to match up big vs Perkings (a slow post up player) and Ibaka a decant outside shooter with speed.
Now if they had to go small vs those two due to slow feet, they raelly are going to have to go small vs Bosh and Lewis.. And if Westbrook tore them up, what will LeBron and Wade do, with little help in the paint and no one to double up on them..

They both that it hard to the paint, the difference is that LeBron is bigger and a much better passer and if you collapse to hard he would find the open man either on the weak side, or where the man cheating in the paint is supposed to be guarding.. PLain and simple, what ever Westbrook was able to do, LeBron and James would do much more..

VS good defense Ginnobilie is ass!!!!! Green came off last year when we had to collaps and help tired legs Battier in the paint.. But when they adjusted and stop collapsing hard and stayed with him on the perimeter, he didn't do shit..
The same problems the Heat had during the first few games last year in the finals, of having to collaps in the paint for protection, will be the same problem the Spurs will have this year... Also remember the Heat had problem vs the Pacers last year, with the same Battier problem, look how that turned around with Lewis stretching the court pulling the big man out the paint..

Im saying it because OKC was able to open wide ass holes in their lane with out a out side threat in the 4 and 5 position like Bosh and Lewis.. And there is no choice to the matter, either the guard Bosh and Lewis at the perimeter, and leave the paint open or the stick with them leaving them open in the perimeter...
They were able to get away with single coverage on Durant and Westbrook, do you guys really think that shit is going to work on LeBron and a rested playing better Wade??
Help me out, I wont shit on you, tell me how this is supposed to work for you guys, you really expect the Spurs big men to defend both the perimeter and the paint:confused:

You can stop anybody with the right match ups, but sorry the match up does not favor the Spurs... Example remember how the Magic used to beat the Cavs, well the reason so was match ups... The Magic had Howard and the Cavs had no one to defend him one on one, so they were forced to sag and help out in the paint, often collapsing or doubling up... As soon as they did that, what did he do? Pass it to one of the other four three point shooters on the team.. They lost due to poor match up vs the Magic, and I don't care who was coaching, there was nothing they could do about it, even with LeBron.

Look, being fan aside, during the playoffs and all year vs the elite teams, the Spurs have not show the ability to guard the paint vs teams that have centers and pf that can shoot in the perimeter...
Meanwhile the Heat are actually playing their best ball out of all their title drives, due to the fact that Bosh has gotten better at his outside jumper and now that Lewis has been either starting or playing more at the power forward slot..
Are the same Spurs who could not guard the paint, with Ibaka having a little jumper, all of a sudden supposed to stop James and Wade from dominating them while having to deal with two big man who can pull both of their rim protectors out of the paint?
The only way I see possible is for them to go zone... If they do this vs this Heat team, I don't see them coming close to winning..
Fuck who you want to win, lets talk X's and O's how yall see this scenario playing out..

Once they figured out how the protect the paint and deal with Green the Spurs was toast.. What I am trying to figure out is what they think has changed since then, if anything things are even worse for them..

Exactly... Some people don't realize is that the Heat are a very unique team, probably the most unusual team to ever win a title..
Unlike most teams where you get your rim protection from your 4 and 5 positions, the Heat best shot blockers are the 2 and the 3.
As the result teams used to go big on them putting a big man on Haslem and Bosh and hurting them in the paint.. On th flip side, their big men was able to guard both men in the paint due to their inability to constantly challenge them deep... Think about how many times Haslem missed wide open shots due to the fact that his man peeled off of him so he could concentrate most of his effort towards making sure the paint is sealed..
Next the Heat went with Battier, another under man playing the 4,this strategy worked just as long as he is connecting with his jumper,the problem is, his legs died out towards the end of last season,couldn't hit shit, and got owned trying to guard the S.A. bigger men in the paint.
This year the Heat are going with Lewis, a well rested player with good springs to his foot. Unlike Battier he is able to guard most big men in the paint, not only that , his outside shooting is dead on when left unguarded..
Lewis shooting forces most teams weight the option between using a smaller quicker guy to keep up with him on the perimeter or remaining big and risk being sniped by Bosh and Lewis...
This new approach to the game made it much easier to dismantle Indiana, a team the Heat struggled in the past to match their big lineup..
I wonder if S.A. will be dumb enough to fall for the same dumb mistake of trying to guard Lewis and the new outside shooting Bosh the same way the guarded a tired, non shooting Battier and the old Bosh..

Lewis has always been the type of player who could shoot lights out, if you leave him by himself.. The problem with him is that he can't hit for shit if you stick with him and challenge his shot (similar to the Spurs Green)
With the Heat though, it works in their favor though because if you leave him by himself, he will simply do, what he's been doing all of his career, yet if you defend him, the paint is going to be left wide open..
The Spurs dodged a bullet by often rotating a much smaller guy on Durant and not have to worry about him posting them up.. Do that with Wade and James, well that would be plain insane...
The only part of Lewis game that is worth noting, is that he is finally playing decant defense, especially in the post so unlike Battier last year at least he wont get abused down there, at least not by what the Spurs has to offer in the paint.

They had poor rebounding, no rim protection, no guards defense allowing plenty penetrarion remember the team that rebounds the best allows the least dribble penetrarion has to double up the least and takes the easiest shots usually wins..Last year the Heat broke down revealing their flaws this year the Cavs don't have those flaws plus they are playing a different designed team lacking the personal that allowed the Spurs to do what they did last year..
Think about it , if last year's Spurs had plus 19 rebound and the other team gave up 20 turnovers they would have had a 30 point lead heading into the 4th..

As great as Lebron is, he is his own worst enemy. Cavs will build up leads and then he'll fall in love with the jump shot. Or worse yet, he falls in love with his jump shot when the Cavs are down or at the start of games. As a fan, it's maddening.

If Lebron stays in the paint, GS loses this series. It comes down to pick your method of execution if Lebron stays in the paint.

But Kerr knows that Lebron can be frustrated. A couple missed shots and no calls by the refs, he is prone to jacking up a long J. Next thing you know, other team hits a 6-10 pt run. Seen it happen too many fucking times.

Lebron doesn't have much of a post game now but he's big enough to just overpower smaller players. When the Heat lost to the Mavs in the playoffs, he had ZERO post up game...absolutely none..and he rarely caught the ball in the post with his back to the basket.

One of the biggest things against the Warriors is being careless with the ball at times, and, being a jump shooting team, having never been on a big stage before. If they ever get tight, the first thing to go when tight is accuracy.

I don't see a lot of basketball IQ on the Warriors, but they run their system well.

With this being both coaches first trip to the finals, even though Kerr played in a few, if there are to be adjustments made, Leabrons experience and ability to capitalize might be an factor.

The Warriors don't have that calming influence on the court for the players to rally around...

Don't see this series as one sided at all...

Yep. I think that's going to bite them close in games. They'll be taking jumps shots and the Cavs will be taking layups. I feel like it's going to be a close series, but the Cavs will take a key close game that's going to be the difference.
