#Cavs LeBron James on his shooting percentage: "I'm not OK with it. I'm so outside the box right now. This is a different challenge."

this is the scary shit...depleted cavs team w/ their sole starter (superstar) shooting pretty badly still have GS down 2-1

Steph:"We've just got to bottle up what we did in the fourth quarter and bring that for 48 minutes starting in Game 4"

I think it's that he started hitting shots and team played somewhat faster, well the Cavs were trying to milk the clock

The Warriors are now 1-and-3 in their last 4 games vs. LeBron. Trusting what works against everyone else might not work

 

[BDR]

Yea there you people go with this bullshit

So an nba player shouldn't have been able to get 20 points on 17 shots?

Yall are just ridiculous at this point.

Logic always goes out the window when there is a dog they have in the fight

a game with both Curry and Thompson is due too..so which one will happen first

Steph and Thompson since they are the more consistent than JR stiff.. Curry started lighting it up in the 4th down the stretch with Deli on him and contested..

Aye yo Beatdown you called it

Man I've played bball way to long and seen this shit plenty of times.. I use to straight up tell dudes the nigga guarding them is a fuckin bum bust his fuckin ass..

But cats been calling out their heart all year long. Even though they played great d, they had a 'soft' rep.

You a funny dude B

man that shit is epic man

the mofo is avg 40 ppg while he is missing mad easy shots in the paint

im telling yall....he's going to get 60 points soon

60

He ain't going for 60 that means he's not passing at all

Stamina might catch up with them but...what happens if it don't

They dodged the bullet twice

warriors had 36 pts in 4th, 55 over first 3

GS is bound to heat up they just have to start putting pressure on Bron and deli full court

gene i dont even see that...they may win that game but theyre both not getting off

steph has to go through double and triple screens to get his shot off

two players cant get off like that...

when delly gets tired they may doing a little something but i just dont see it

So u just going to ignore Steph started roasting deli in the 4th quarter?

He hit shots because Cavs started switching and they were dead ass tired as a team. They shouldn't take much from that. It really had more to do with Cavs being dead tired.

This is why, despite all that we have seen so far, the Warriors are still optimistic.

Cleveland has to win Game 4 as well because they don't have the depth for a long series.

Well isn't that the whole point is to exploit their logged mins only running 7 guys? You gotta find every advantage possible

And yeah soon as they switch Curry started lighting them niggas up..

I haven't seen a light skinned brotha suffer like this since Christopher Williams in New Jack City

someone do Lebron and Green

It was definitely evident the Cavs were spent, Lebron started to defer the ball a lot more toward the end, which led to a few empty offensive possessions.

 

[stretchwallz]

GS 4th quarter comeback is being overrated. The Cavs started playing too loose and free which plays into Warriors strength

A half court slugfest doesn't allow the 6th graders of GS to play goofy globetrotter basketball

Barnes, Green, Thompson and Bogut are SHOOK

Dude stop the Cavs were spent.. They lucky they built that 20 point cushion cause if it was close GS would've ran away with that game in the 4th

All Cleveland had to do was trap Curry every time he touched it. The rest of those cats were shook.

Pressure busts pipes. Warriors better win this next game or it's a wrap.

Cavs are due for one game where their role players get hot. If JR has one of those hot games, they'll blow GS out.

They have to pick and choose when to trap, because that shit burns a lot of energy and if your to constant and predictable Curry has enough skills to deliver the ball to a cutting player or to the other splash brother.

The Cavs have been spent entire series but they can win a street fight. Warriors can only fight with Olympic head gear

You hard trap him with a big. He's a little dude, he can't see around it. Rockets did that to him in a couple 4th quarters to get back into the games.

I agree that's what they should do , the part I question is their ability to do it, logging in that many mins.

That's the same shit that got Miami in trouble but then again logging miles and old legs

Get off the pipe dream the role players are who they are more inconsistent than reliable..

Cavs offense this season was Bron, Kyrie and love..

Everyone wants the Cavs to lose so damn bad.

What happen in the 4th when they trapped? They got light the fuck up like I said Cavs are lucky to have built that cushion because it would've been a wrap.. Couple that with Danny Crawford call to give the Cavs the ball with 17 secs left on a non reviewable play on a inadvertent whistle..

Soon as Lee went in the game the Cavs can't trap because now curry made them pay on the high post with Lee where he got easy looks and passes around the basket..

Nah just just you and Dan Gilbert and that shit for a city we want to lose

That wasn't effective basketball. They ran a wild desperate offense in the 4th and his terrible shot selection began to fall. Does he really think that works for 48 minutes?

He's been hitting those shots all season and bout the only player who hit those type of shots.. So why would that change now?

That was Isaiah Thomas point also and I think its a valid one.

 

[FJP]

Damn Beatdown you are just throwing logic out the window. I know you hate Lebron for leaving "yall"(Yoi a Knicks fan anyway) but how is 5-12 roasting? Curry hasn't roasted Delly at all

 

[FJP]

And at some point it stops working. Just like it did in the regular season. The difference is over a 82 game stretch its not magnified like it is now. And unlike say Westbrook who knows to go to the rack when his shot is not falling Steph does not do so. You can't use the Finals to shoot yourself back to normal... You end up falling short.

 

[BrownTurd]

Breakdown is actually correct. People assuming that the Cavs are dominating these games but when you look at the score by score stats by quarter that is not the case.

The Cavs are simply playing keep away and running the clock down and hoping for GSW to make mistakes. Lee brings something the Warriors need and that is a big who can play well in the PnR and score in the paint while being a great passer. It is forcing the Cavs to defend.

GSW has had the lead at the end of any quarter in this series how is that not dominance?

Fam don't assuming anything about me I've never once said I hate Lebron for leaving not once and I'm no snick fan... And curry did start roasting deli in the fourth I mean how did a 20 pt lead evaporate?

 

[SIDESHOW]

someone do Lebron and Green
