*** the official 2014-15 nba finals thread ***

[largebillsonlyplease]

When i said Kerr coasted with this ready made team. Everyone called me a hater.

When i said you can get away with it because you're not playing against the best player in the NBA i was called wrong again.

When i said Thompson has been smedium entire playoffs everyone is like ahhh so what

he's had 1 good game in 4 rounds of the playoffs

1.

 

[Rudey]

yeah..i think they would have run through anyone else in the East.. they would have blown the hawks out.... Cleveland poses a unique challenge because they literally can't defend Lebron and the Cavs hit the boards...

This.

The East is still a weak conference

 

[II Dxnum]

keep trying bitch.

you'll never document my real identity, you really are a retarded pig though.

how do you even put your gun in you holster without shooting yourself, jaeke?

 

[gene cisco]

Ima say this

Westbrook would never let Dellevadova do this to him.....

Westbrook is inhuman. He doesn't count. Curry isn't the athlete Westbrook is, but he is a superior shooter. Westbrook can physically punish Delly with strength or quickness. He wouldn't even need a fucking pick.

Curry just isn't a great defender period. he's never been. that's never been his game. i don't know why people are acting brand new about it now..


Warriors would be up with westbrook though period.

Curry had Delly isolated center court..just behind the 3 pointline..all by himself...he called someone way out from the corner to give him a pick.. that tells you a lot.. he doesnt feel comfortable with Delly on him

This.

The East is still a weak conference

And the West is still a soft conference. Save for San Antonio (old & done) & Memphis (not enough firepower) they dont play D over there and dont like physicality in that conference.

 

[Mask]

Steve Kerr fucked up. He put in Speights, a perimeter jump shooting big man, instead of giving Lee, a PF who scores inside, slips screens and rolls to the basket and rebounds, minutes. Bogut is useless. GSW had no inside presence whatsoever. If Lee touched the court in Game 2, who knows what would have happened.

Moving forward, Bogut needs a quick hook. And if Green is fucking up like he's been doing, move Lee to the 5 and play small with a rotation of Curry, Klay, Iggy, Livingston, and Barnes, if Barnes can find his touch again.

I know Bogut ain't been giving them any, but not playing him might improve the offense but your defense will suffer. It's not like they're shutting Lebron down, Bogut is your rim protector.

David Lee is Kevin love with the range...so yea the offense will improve but they won't slow the Cavs down inside.

the warriors are playing defense. last i checked the cavs aren't putting up 130 points. these have been toughly contested games that have come down to the wire every night have they not?

im willing to be everyone was calling the warriors soft and shit waaay back from the 2nd quarter on and then had to shut up for a minute when they started to play warriors basketball and cut the lead all the way down to 1 through aggressive offense and pressure defense

am i close?

Bogut doesn't try to protect the rim. the only shots he's blocked are the ones where his guy is the one shooting them.

he's hesitant. start of the game tonight the lane was wide open. the sea parted. he had a running start. you're 7 ft you go dunk that shit and set the tone. instead he tries a bounce pass on the move which of course is off target for a turnover.

Ezili is the starter and then you bring in Lee off the bench.

 

[BrownTurd]

This is very simple for Steve Kerr. Trap lebron early which will force the other players to create plays or run the offense.

Pick up the pace of the game.

Trapping Lebron early is all they need to do

 

[curryshotta]

if they play lee heavy minutes he would get pick and rolled so much you would think you were watching a video loop

 

[POSTERBOY]

I give the next game to GS

GS cant trap without fouling......hell they cant defend without fouling.....especially in the paint.

I start Bogot but he is on limited minutes. If he gives nothing I bench him

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

No.
Play Ezili. Lee comes in off the bench when more than likely thompson and mosgov are getting a rest

plus blatt for some reason forgets about mosgov for long stretches.

take advantage of that.

warriors have been good defensively..its just that the cavs have been better

and the Cavs have guys that are going flat out.....they been hungry since that bulls series...

 

[Mask]

I think he picks up fouls quickly...


Actually Speights could've been used in this game, that mid range is open

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

GS cant trap without fouling......hell they cant defend without fouling.....especially in the paint.

No you can't go near the cavs without getting a foul called, there is a difference.

Lebron ran down the court full steam ahead and ran right into Curry as curry was turning around with the ball

lol

 

[gene cisco]

Pick up the pace of the game.

Trapping Lebron early is all they need to do

So you want the Cavs to swing to the open shooters? It's pick your poison with Lebron. You got GS next game, right? I need the Cavs up 3-1 going back to GS....

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Which goes back to my point about the effort not being there.
one of these days someone is going to realize i know what im talking about.

 

[Mask]

No.
Play Ezili. Lee comes in off the bench when more than likely thompson and mosgov are getting a rest

plus blatt for some reason forgets about mosgov for long stretches.

take advantage of that.

It's that pick and roll...

Y'all talking about TT guarding Curry, shit I'll take that everytime instead of Mo fouling him

The Cavs are purposely milking clock and keeping the pace of the game slow. The Warriors are giving up 40 points every game to LeBron James. He did not have this kind of production against any eastern conference opponent. Delly had 20 points tonight. Tristan got 10 & 13. The team shot 45%, and thats with their 2nd leading scorer and 3rd leading scorer wearing suits on the bench. The Warriors are playing defense?

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

they shouldn't be running any pick and roll.

Curry should be aggressive. in the 2nd half when he had the ball in the 4th he got aggressive.

he was able to lose delladova off the solo dribble a couple of times and go in for layups.

that's what he should be doing all game. delladova can guard him if he's relying on running off screens

he can't guard him if he has the ball in his hands and doesn't bring an extra man around him.

notice towards the end when he was deciding to take delladova solo the cavs were trapping to make sure they got the ball out of his hands.

HE can create a shot independent of screens. the dufus of a coach likes to run the offense through the bigs at times.

remember last series when they insisted on running the offense through bogut who was repeatedly fucking up every time? lol

same thing.

You don't cut a 20 pt deficit to 3 without playing defense.

 

[stretchwallz]

4 games left and somehow people think the Cavs and Lebron will lose 3?

Yes the warriors are playing defense. They cannot guard lebron james. Delladova took 17 fucking shots tonight. 17.

He did have this type of production against the eastern conference teams are we rewriting history right when its being made? didn't he just have some numbers against the hawks that NOBODY in the history of the league has ever had before?

 

[KingTaharqa]

Western Conference JV team level defense.

Absolutely

There is no roadrunner 19 threes a game offense to be had in this series

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

lol

the games have been toughly contested on both sides.

the cavs have lebron james and he has been the difference.
