The ball movement the last two games has been fantastic. Hopefully we can keep it up.

Looks like LBJ has finally bought in, and will be the 4, going forward. Love is moving to the 5. I think this will be our best lineup going forward. Though depending how they stagger the rotations, our bench is gonna be iffy.

I'm really loving the lebron ball screens for kyrie. Makes it near impossible to defend

I think the small lineup thing will be a by team situation. They'll go small depending on opponent. Personally, I'd love to see Love/Kyrie being OK coming off the bench. I know it's highly unlikely...but think it'd keep the scoring going when 1 of the other 2 come out. It'd probably not work and feels would get hurt, but I think it'd give other teams fits having their 2's trying to keep up with KI or Love.

I brought up love coming off the bench about a month ago and my friend laughed at me. I think this is what would be best for the team.Benny The Jet;1784772 wrote:I think the small lineup thing will be a by team situation. They'll go small depending on opponent.

With a 2nd unit of Delly/Jefferson/Love/Frye/TT, correct? Wouldn't be all that bad on offense. Defense would be a different story.

Damn loved that last play for Love. Forgot how athletic he can be, streaking to the basket for the dunk was great.

Prolly won't lose a lot of games with 8 guys in double figures. They should just do that every game.

Lebron at the 4, or just playing around the elbow is a serious problem for opposing defenses. He either goes straight down the lane for a layup, or gets a big am easy dunk, or a perimeter player a wide open shot. I know lbj doesn't want to be a pf, but damn are they insane good when he plays there.

Pretty incredible that the joke of the Lakers can beat the Warriors but they Cavs can't lose by less than 10.

I watched, it was a very off night for GS. They were bad. So many missed layups and shit passes.

Russell was also attacking Curry, which the rest of the NBA for some reason doesn't do.Automatik;1785027 wrote:I watched, it was a very off night for GS. They were bad. So many missed layups and shit passes.

Saw an article, during the game, that claimed the Warriors were out "on the town" until the wee hours of the morning, prior to this game. Reminds me of the accusations against Lebron & the Cavs during the playoffs during his first stint here. Supposedly took teammates to some club in Akron?Automatik;1785027 wrote:I watched, it was a very off night for GS. They were bad. So many missed layups and shit passes.

It really is a mystery. Goes back to the discussion we had on here when Lillard was dropping 50 on him.Commander of Awesome;1785031 wrote:Russell was also attacking Curry, which the rest of the NBA for some reason doesn't do.
I didnt see last nights game, but did they pick and roll him or Russell just attack? I watched the entirety of the Portland game, and it was a combo, but mostly Lillard just going at him.

I didn't watch but if you're Cleveland you need to analyze that game and the game against Portland. Maybe there is a chink in the armor of GS that can be exploited much like putting AI on Lebron in the finals.Laley23;1785056 wrote:It really is a mystery.

Having multiple players that can attack the rim in the key.
Because the Warriors will just put Klay on KI and slow him down a bit allowing Curry to hang out around the 3pt line with JR. JR can attack the hoop so I would hope during a series with the Warriors he'd be more inclined trying to take him off the dribble instead of the 3s which allow the fast breaks.

Hell it wasn't just Russell going at him. It was whoever the little curly haired white dude is too. They kept moving curry to whoever they thought wasn't gonna shoot. Then they'd just pass to that guy and he'd go to the rim. Then on defense the Lakers had their big attack curry off the pick and roll. Make him take a tough 3 over long arms or pass it. They were willing to give them the possible 2s all night long. It certainly helped that everyone on the Warriors seemed to be off, but the Lakers defense had a part in it too. They made the Warriors work.

Attacking Curry was important and a must for a game play....but Warriors shooting 3-29 left at least 24 points off the board
