Yep. This really isn't about the scoring. Shit.. Cavs with a depleted squad slowed the game down almost beat GS last year. You need to control the pace and defend the perimeter.....and you need to play physical ball with Curry.
and does irving and love do this??? better yet who plays physical on the cavs?? you guys keep referencing last year like it matters...
 
this was still the best series of the entire playoffs.
alot of great plays. alot of records broken in this series.
plus the kick in the nuts, and the DDT capped it off.
definitely worth watching.
 
I get that but when Klay and curry are hot you just gotta try to match them as much as possible on the other end. You see how much OKC got outscored from behind the arc in 5, 6, &7? That was the difference.

Not really... you can't match them with shooting. Klay and Curry are the two most prolific 3 point shooters of all-time statistically. You'll never match them. You beat by 1)limiting the amount of 3 point shots they get or 2) they just miss shots
 
Just looked at Curry's contract he is a unrestricted free agent at the end of next season.... If they don't win the chip this year or even next... Does he still get a max deal? That's my question to you all.
 
There were a few times the toof should've layed his ass out when he went to the hole. Instead he just let Curry finish the play. Knock that ninja on his ass man!!! Can't have some little dude styling on you on the paint in the playoffs. Dude didn't even foul him.

Yep.
 
have you seen Thabo play recently, old Thabo yes. the guy on the hawks is horrible.

I just don't think he fits well into the Hawks system. Also that broken leg fucked him up physically and mentally... I think of he stayed in OKC he and they would be better off

How is it that OKC had the keys to success 3 out of 4 games.... And then the last 3 games, just said fuck it?! Is it on the coach or Durant and Westbrook?
 
He didn't? Why the fuck you think Iggy was the MVP? Delly was hospitalized and had no backup. Shit, if GS wins, don't be shocked if Klay is the MVP.
First Delly we be a non factor; if he plays extended minutes, he will get his ass busted by Klay or Curry; 2nd Della didnt stop Steph at all; Steph had 1 bad game out of 6; if it was Della he would have had alot more bad games than just one...
Curry #s:
game 1, 26pts, 8ass, 10-20 shooting
game 2, 19pts, 5ass, 5-23 shooting
game 3, 27pts, 6ass, 10-20 shooting
game 4, 22pts, 7ass, 8-17 shooting
game 5, 37pts, 4ass, 13-23 shooting
game 6, 25pts, 8ass, 8-19 shooting
so curry had one bad shooting night and della held him down??:hmm:; every other game was a typical steph game and dude shot 50% are better the other 5 games; you guys with this della shit needs to stop...

True. Have cats even checked Klay's numbers? If Curry isn't on the planet, people are arguing about whether or not Klay is the best all-time shooter. He stands a good chance to break Curry's record from last year. He holds the playoff record.

What you have to do is make them work on the defensive end. Run them cats through screens. KT is bigger than Curry, so he can take much more punishment. He'll also be relied on for more defense. Just make those cats work and don't go to pieces when they hit their shots. They are arguably the greatest shooters of all time.
 
The people I mentioned in my first post (Shumpert and Smith).
shumpert and smith and irving and della cant be on the floor at the same time; shumpert and smith and irving cant be on the floor at the same time; I think GS would love for cavs to play shump and smith alot; both are 1 trick ponies and easily guardable..
 
they would be stupid if they don't explore that match up again....If they cavs try to outshoot golden:itsawrap::itsawrap::itsawrap: state..better play physcial ball with them.

exactly.. you're not outshooting GS.. Curry and Thompson would outshoot any squad to losses... those two muthafuckas are the two most prolific 3 point shooters of all time, statistically. They'll volume shoot your squad into the fucking ground.

Klay Thompson is an unrestricted free agent in 2019

2015-16 Contract details by year 25 $15,501,000 $15,501,000 $68,979,450
2016-17 Contract details by year 26 $16,663,575 $16,663,575 $53,478,450
2017-18 Contract details by year 27 $17,826,150 $17,826,150 $36,814,875

2019 Free Agent Year 29 UFA

He is gonna make some bank the next few seasons.... If Steph gets a max in 2017 what happens to Klay in 2019?

Plus GSW set up both of their contracts with no incentives... Do incentives now come into play?
 
hes played wayyyy better than i ever Expected, but his true colors have come out. it was 4 vs 5 out there and the coach didn't sub. I would have put foye in.
Hell they could have put Payne in. He's a more consistent shooter and can make plays. Marrow is their best spot up shooter. Robertson wasn't going to keep hitting those shots. Robertson is under 30% 3pt shooter for his career. Sam Presti failed this team. Now you've most likely lost KD and Westbrook following next season.

GSW have his bird rights.. They can go over the cap to resign Klay

Klay has been GS's best player this playoffs too. If they gave out the MVP for the entire playoffs, it's Klay over Curry, easily. And he's always the one stepping up FIRST... Curry has been coming to support Klay...but it's been Klay who has been catching fire first and keeping GS in games.
 
why wouldnt he get a max deal??

If they don't win the 'ship 2 seasons in a row?.... 74 games means nothing without a ring, plus GS has to pay Klay and Green also... Do they go into the luxury tax to keep this same squad if they don't win the ring?
 
shumpert and smith and irving and della cant be on the floor at the same time; shumpert and smith and irving cant be on the floor at the same time; I think GS would love for cavs to play shump and smith alot; both are 1 trick ponies and easily guardable..

Shumpert is a defensively specialist.

And you can have shump, smith and irving out there together when the Warriors go small ball.

Smith isn't easily guardable IF he's feeling it. He'll bake you... the problem is that he's too streaky.

But the Cavs have Lebron.. he'll dictate pace. He has high BB IQ. He's not gonna have his team running up and down the floor against a team that loves to volume shoot.

Only a dumb ass coach would push his team try to "outshoot" GS.
 
Klay has been GS's best player this playoffs too. If they gave out the MVP for the entire playoffs, it's Klay over Curry, easily. And he's always the one stepping up FIRST... Curry has been coming to support Klay...but it's been Klay who has been catching fire first and keeping GS in games.

So you're saying the Cavs need to keep Klay out of the game... (play physical against him / get him in foul trouble) would be a major key for success?
