Man looking at that last play again, all I can say is
Look at this shit...

LeBron was actually left alone on the weak side on a island by himself..
As soon as he made his move to the paint, Green rotated from his side, abandoning his man knowing that it would be impossible to attempt a cross court pass with the whole Warrior team playing the passing lane...
Now if they had a man at the corner three where the star is marked, that would have forced Green to stay with his man or risk LeBron pasing off to a open shooter where he could either drive down the baseline or shoot the three.. Now if he were to stay home with his man, then LeBron would have had an lane and not have to settle for the wild three..

I think green would have taken a charge if lebron would have drove to the basket.

Got rid of wiggins... Might be the Biggest mistake in NBA history...

This is worse than taking darko over wade and bosh

I think green would have taken a charge if lebron would have drove to the basket.

But if he was guarding someone like Shump or JR over by the corner three on the weak side, he would have been forced to stay at home or risk giving up a wide open shot..

stfu ole soft petal rose ass nigga

Niggas coppin pleas all on the radio

see.... thats where u got it fucked up. I'm a Warriors fan since birth... grew up watching Jordan the GOAT and I can respect your devotion to the home town but in this day and age it gets old as fuck if you can't at least respect who's on top !!!! Bulls ain't doing shit so stop hating!!!!

Green was standing in the paint waiting for lebron to come in.

 

[RoadRage]

Green was standing in the paint waiting for lebron to come in.

Exactly he was able to peel off of his man because of where he was positioned, my point that it was a very poorly designed play..

Sweep these niggas

Remind them they will always be Cleveland

GS gonna get this ring

Garbage ass market finals

 

[stretchwallz]

If Love leaves......it very well could be. Wiggins even before he stepped in the league everyone felt he had potential to be far better than Love so why would you trade for him?

The entire country is looking for the next "great white hype" in the NBA. Love has been overrated and over marketed his entire career.

He'll never be Wally Szerbiack.

DJ AM was the greatest DJ, Eminen is the God MC, and K Love is the best NBA power forward (all bullshhit)

...but Belief >>> Reason

 

[BDR]

Cleveland radio already plea coppin

 

[LSN]

damn was too tired to stay up to watch this...from what I seen of the highlights...steph gonna beast this series as usual...lebron can't keep taking 38 FGAs and only make 18...looks like kyrie might be out for a series again...GS in 5/6 it's easy to say cavs shoulda kept wiggins in hindsight...but fwiw love got taken out on a bullshit ass play...cac from the celts need his ass beat

 

[Mask]

Cavs really need kevin love now he finally seem missed.

Man I told kats this during the Hawks series. Love injury can't made the game tougher for the Bulls and Hawks. You have to post players out there now. That's more toughness and rebounding. Love is a rebounder but a different type. TT is all hustle.
Kerr don't mind going to that small lineup, which he did down the stretch.

The spacing ain't always there with TT and Mov. That's why Jones checks in as a stretch 4.

Yea can't disagree with this...

Was a great game, they have to go back to the drawing board and realize they played without Kyrie before, just gotta work the plan

Man.....from my understanding this dumb ass shit is all on Lebron. Let GM's do the team building Bron.

 

[daman200]

golden state plan is simple let lebron score stay home on shooters. Without Kylie golden stAte will win, the cavs only chance was a healthy Kylie Irving. Man that was a great game. I wish Kyrie was healthy though.

 

[FJP]

People just talk to talk. He took and made this same shot in this same building against the same defender last year. Now all of a sudden its a terrible shot.

He was up until he fucked up that knee again...

Blatt going ham and giving him 43 mins didn't help either but again I've said this series will come down Both teams benches and GS is clearly far and better in that department than Cle

thats exactly why it was a bad shot

iggy said last night he was waiting for it since bron burned him once with it

In basketball, a fadeaway 3 will always be a bad shot...

that's true it was a poor designed play.

yep

 

[Day_Carver]

Just curious gene; outside of being a fan, what makes u still think the cavs are still gonna win in 6?

I still believe if Lebron doesn't settle they can win. I understand all that 'let Lebron get his,' but as long as he does that and they pace the game like that, Cavs can win.

TT is going to be TT. JR will be JR. Kyrie is gone, but I expected two games at most from him.

But just my opinion Cavs cant play any better than what they did, and with Kyrie gone, I just dont see it; Every Player with the exception of Mozgov played exactly how they are; JR averages 10pts a game, he got 9; TT cant score; And shump is shump; They have no bench and now Kyrie is gone; Man no way the Cavs win in 6; People keep talking about LBJ last shot; But Curry went up very weak because he thought he had an easy layup; If he goes up strong we not even talking about LBJ last shot...

LBJ IS GREAT; DUDE IS UNBELIEVABLE; I DONT SEE HOW PEOPLE CANT SEE IT; BUT HE WENT FROM ONE HURT SUPERSTAR TO ANOTHER; KYRIE WILL ALWAYS BE HURT; UNLESS THEY GET SOME DIFFERENT PLAYERS, THIS WILL ALWAYS OCCUR FOR THE CAVS...

 

[Mask]

I'm present a different question for y'all...( I wanted to post it before OT started but was caught up)

What we learned thru the first 4 quarters?


- I feel if the Cavs lose this series it's own them...
That game pretty much was the same game from Feb, Love now being there hurt the depth, but the still had a chance to win. Lebron took maybe 5 shots too many.
- Warriors do what they do, curry is silky smooth...
- Kyrie ain't no slouch on defense(I've been saying this all year tho)...
- Della probably should got more minutes, not because Kyrie need rest, but just to get him going. We knew he would have to play big at some point
- Lebron probably can will this team to a victory, I expect another performance like last night from him...
- Mo Williams or Ramon Sessions will be back in Cleveland next year...

Edit: Not sessions he's free next year

People be talking how much better the Cavs would be if they had Wiggins but do they ever sit down and ask themselves what role he'd be playing on this teams? Because right now their needs are more jump shooters and people who can stretch the floor.. Wiggins shoots from the outside worse than Shumpert..
Love on the other hand, once healthy, I say that because he battle with a bad back this year, but on the games that he was 100% this is what he gave the Cavs, a very good rebounder, I know folks say well they have Thompson, look it wasn't either or, they both was in there grabbing crazy rebounds.. He gave them a stretch 4, well people say well his numbers are not that great, as long as he is stretching the floor, or causing his man to defend him from the perimeter, he is actually doing his job, when your not doing your job your man is peeling off and playing held defense..
Being that Love is such a great rebounder and the best full length passer in the nba, him in the game frees up LeBron a bit giving him the luxury of not having to spend so much energy helping out with the boards, this also free him up to release more often becoming the recipient of some of those full court passes...
So why Love numbers may disappoint the fantasy basketball and the video game community, anyone with real nba knowledge knows that K-Loves vaule is not measured by some numbers alone and that his vaule to the team is a lot more than people are giving him credit for ..

DId you draw those arrows with your finger on a touch screen?
What a sight that had to be.



Anyways....
Im looking at NBATV, while they wait on Kyries MRI report.......a lot of whats being said is shit ive heard for 2-3 years.

"He's down with another injury"...
"this has to very tough for his team".....
"What ah shame"
"what do they have to do?"




What do they have to do? In the words of Tom Tibby...NEXT MAN UP!!!!
Cavs still have their best player.

[greatlogic] There should be no excuses when you have a player thats better than MJ on your team. MJ needed help to win his two 3peats in the mighty handcheck era. Since LBJ is better than Mike, in todays watered down NBA, he shouldnt need near as much help. Right?".[/logic]


JR and Shump making the Knicks wish they never gave them up??
Triston needs more money in the off season because he grabs boards like Rodman??
Yall have enough.
NO EXCUSES.....
Get out there and DO YOUR JOB!
Put something together to beat the best team that youve faced all playoffs.
Simple as that!!

 

[BDR]

Law of averages even if Bron didn't settle GS was disciplined enough to let Bron get his and lock down everyone else..

Bron get his that mean he's taking what the defense gives him which means he's expending more energy keeping the team in the game which means down the stretch he will be gassed which means he eventually settles for jumpshots which means GS had enough players to throw at him instead of one player guarding him all game

That's the mistake the Bulls made in letting Butler guard Bron all game then Expecting him contribute in the offensive end.. U can't have it both ways
