They played extremely good defense against Klay and Curry and it seems their game plan is to let the reserves beat them. Well, it just so happens that the reserves played out of their mind while the Cavs reserve shit the bed entirely.

I expect a Game 2 win and a sweep in Cleveland. Hopefully the Cavs can win their Game 6 at home unlike CHOKC.

Frankly, we need more out of Lebron(and yes, I'm aware he was 1 assist shy of a triple double).

sleeper;1797722 wrote:Also simply put the Cavs shot 38% and with 15 turnovers. A lot of these misses were bunnies. I counted 5 missed layups in the 4th. That's 10 points.

That will not happen again.

sleeper;1797723 wrote:BTW since most of you are plebs who don't understand basketball, the Cavs defensive strategy is entirely based on stopping Curry/Thompson. Every time Curry rotates off a screen, the Cavs are giving him a clean shoulder/elbow. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Curry gets a few T's or flagrants from retaliating on those bumps. You can tell he was extremely frustrated in that style of defense and I don't see the Cavs changing up the game plan.

Curry does not like physicality. Good on Lue for recognizing this and building a game plan around it.

friendfromlowry;1797922 wrote:Cavs lose in five. I also didn't type a bunch of mumbo jumbo pretending they're fine, expecting Cavs to win out, missed lay-ups wouldn't continue, Curry would start wracking up the technical/flagrant fouls.
My prediction was that if they didn't fix the lazy defense, we'd see more of this.

To top it off, the entire team is in the Cavs' head (from owner to the 15th man on the bench). I know I just said they match up perfectly, but they shouldn't be blowing the cavs out 9 games in a row. All of these guys are playing with a mental block, and that includes Lebron with his shit ton of turnovers. The cavs have completely abandoned what got them to the finals. This isn't the same team we saw in April and May. It's truly pathetic. I think the most didsaponting fact about their performance is curry/klay have been held to 40 pts in the first two games. If you told me that before the series started I would have said we will be up 2-0.

Also no shocker at the trolls coming out the woodwork. I'd be more impressed if they stuck around the entire playoffs, but all of them have appeared when they finally lose. Don'tcare for example has posted twice since April and those two posts were after the cavs lost. This is the same redneck who said he would fire his employees if they smoked weed (on their own time) even if it were legalized. I don't know what's more pathetic the posters who's first thought is to post on an message board they don't care for after a certain team loses (don'tcare, iggy, classy, etc) or somebody like tiernan who has no shame in letting everyone know he is a deadbeat with no life. The only thing we are missing is for thavoice to post about how he got us good with his reverse jinxing.

friendfromlowry;1797940 wrote:The more I think about it, Lue is really letting them down. I've never seen a team so unprepared, unfocused, and apathetic in the finals. These are unarguably two of the top teams in the league - why is one getting blown out back to back? They actually played considerably worse in game two than one, which I didn't think was possible.

As for the trolls, Tiernan isn't so bad. He actually had a pretty good post around midnight this past weekend. Rather than enjoy a Saturday night with friends/family, he's posting borderline-suicidal cries for help demanding answers as to why he's been banned. And speaking of suicidal, I miss Footwedge. You know he'd have some dumbass idea like benching Irving in game three and starting Delly.
