Livingston is going to be relevant and AI is an all-star type player for some reason vs the Cavssleeper;1797739 wrote:I don't expect Curry or Thompson to get over 40+ ppg between them in this series and I don't expect freaking Shaun Livingston to be relevant either.
The reality is, we hit shots at 45% and we are up 1-0. Also need to shoot more 3's especially from JR. Hitting 3's opens the game up for Lebron/Irving to just go HAM in the paint.

If this is their game plan, Kyrie and the Cavs might be in trouble.

The video evidence of this theory shown in the article is hard to watch.Watching the game back, however, it’s clear the Warriors’ scoring wasn’t a result of a game plan to have Shaun Livingston (who finished with 20 points), Leandro Barbosa (11 points) or Harrison Barnes (13 points) take the shots. Those guys scored because of who was defending them: Kyrie Irving.
By the fourth quarter, the Warriors’ game plan had become simple: Everyone work their tail off on defense, and on offense, find the guy who Kyrie is guarding. And then give him the ball and let him score.

Kyrie wasn't good on defense that is for sure and his offensive inefficiency nowhere near made up for it. Delly at -19 is the other option. Kyrie def has to tighten up on defense.
It would be spectacular if the Warriors bench would shoot around 40%

The best case scenario for Cleveland regarding officials this evening.
when it comes to "road refs" you've got the top 2 assigned to this game.

For the first time in 2 months the Reds pissed me the hell off and in the past one bad sports outcome tend to make the next one a good one so hopefully the Cavs get it done...don't care how.
I'm worried the Warriors are going to sweep and be GOAT team.

I really hope that doesn't happen because, obviously, I want the Cavs to win a title for Cleveland.Ironman92;1797799 wrote:

I also don't want to hear forever how this team is better than the '95-96 Bulls because they're absolutely not. In my opinion, the Bulls would beat the piss out of Steph and his buddies.

Lue has got to find a way to get lebron a breather for he finishes off the game. When the Cavs went up 1, you could tell Lebron was gassed and then he settled for shitty shots.

Coming out of the gates would help. Be nice to be up 23-18 and sit Lebron the last 3 min of the first and potentially a couple min to start 2nd. If Kyrie is efficient it will greatly help. That 3rd qtr of game 1 they battled like hell to get ahead by 1....at that time Lebton was gassed as you said. J.R. Smith came in and GS went on a damn 9-2 run the last 2 min of the qtr....momentum regained and game essentially over. Would've been nice had he recovered better during the nutsack break caused by Delly.like_that;1797807 wrote:Lue has got to find a way to get lebron a breather for he finishes off the game.

So many important factors tonight. J.R. Is one of the bigger ones.

Forgot to post earlier but Sportscenter lead off the 6pm hour with Brian Windhorst reporting on Lebron giving the guys beats headphones and taking them out to dinner over the weekend. I wish Lebron would publicly denounce this creepy slob.

JR needs a couple shots to go thru the basket. He is a mental case right now. Also, TT is getting worked. I would seriously dust off Moz, because Bogut would be useless at that point.

Someone needs to rebound the damn basketball! Playing good D means nothing if the Warriors get put backs all night.

TT is worthless in this series. Bring moz out. TT is a pure liability at this point.

Apparently Igoudala can do two things. Bitch about incidental contact to his nuts, and slap down on someone's arms constantly without getting a foul.

Not going to win if they're going to keep letting a GS player cut to the rim unguarded
