LeBron continuing to throw bounce passes to his big men diving to the basket. Throw it up and let them go get it!

Probably so...I've been rooting for the Cavs since pre Bron the first time. Still think dajuan Wagner is the future

Hopefully Kyrie is nothing major with his shoulder.
Pace of this game is Golden State but Cavs have a nice lead....but no Kyrie in the 4th (potentially) and LeBron will wear down....plus Klay warming up.
I smell a shitty 4th quarter.

Had the same opinion before the Rose situation. Rose seems to be an afterthought anyways with everyone wanting to talk about the front court. Rose getting hurt was a given, tbh.like_that;1708640 wrote:Pretty easy bet considering the situation with rose...

This has always been my problem with the Warriors, they take way too many contested long jump shots and they get very few easy baskets. They move the ball well but they don't get in the lane enough or to the line it seems like. Bogut and Lee and pretty damn good around the bucket and they don't even use them there, it's the Steph and Klay show.

I really really like the make up of golden state. They just forget their bigs too often. They are the key to them making a finals run. They have to get more touches.

GS is a great regular season team, not too sure how that will translate to the playoffs.
When the jump shots aren't falling they are easy to beat. Klay, nor Curry scare too many team off the dribble, if you can play them close defense and force difficult shots you'll got a pretty good shot at winning. Of course you'll need some above average defenders to make that happen, which is why I say they are a good RS team, defense is a little less emphasized during this period, but once the playoffs hit, every ramps it up.

Been saying this for the last few years, playoffs when the game slows down where do they go to get easy buckets? What is the last strictly jump shooting team to win a title even?HighRoller74;1708654 wrote:GS is a great regular season team, not too sure how that will translate to the playoffs.

Awesome run by the Cavs. LBJ with a monster game. Love and Kyrie big games. Shump and JR in mini shooting slumps. TT with a really good game too. Even Delly has shown some life since the break.
Payback time tomorrow night. Next week the Cavs could vault into the 2 seed.

Not sure I can even watch the cavs if Delly is going to play 25-30 minutes.

Delly is a big weakness. I hope nothing serious with Kyrie. Need to keep him on the court this team has the it factor right now and the trades to get JR, Shumpert, and Mozgov simply brilliant.

The Spurs are predicated on ball movement and penetration. Not jump shooting. But you showing complete ignorance is par for the course.Footwedge;1708681 wrote:.

Last jump shooting team to make it to the finals that I remember was Orlando but they did have a inside presence with Howard. However, they lived and eventually died with the 3 ball.
