And then there were two, the Cavs and Warriors

[RF2044]

Alternately, you can use every pick Mosgov has ever set as your example of offensive fouls.

I can't wait to see Skrewy's take on the Lebron right handed push off every time he drives with his left.

 

[longislandcuse]

Lol have you seen the screens Golden State sets?

Did Lebron foul Curry on the steal with about 50 seconds left?

 

[skurey]

Yeah probably.

41/12/8 through three games.

Win or lose, LeBron is on another level.

And I was dead wrong about playing David Lee, GSW needed his offensive versatility, especially in the PnR with Steph.

This is a fun series. Bron is a freak.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I'm just being obnoxious because everyone keeps telling me how much better Golden States roster is outside of Curry/Klay than Cleveland's outside of Lebron but 3 games in, I have more faith in Cleveland's role players D-ing up, rebounding and hitting an open shot than I do Golden States but that's none of my business. (Insert Kermit drinking tea meme)

Eh. Cleveland's role players are playing better right now. Overall though, I still believe Golden State has better role players. They all just happen to be playing like crap.

I'll be at work tomorrow around 645. Lunch roughly 11:30. Can we expect the write up by then?

Dude is going for epic right now. I just wish people wouldn't ruin it by acting like he somehow willed all of Delladovas 20 points into the basket because, Lebron.

 

[skurey]

No I have to work early sadly. I'll be sure to PM you right away.

Draymond straight up lost it tonight.

If he doesn't start strong next game you have to pull him for Lee. But Bogut played like crap as well.

Stephen A reiterating my point about Steph finally figuring out how to score.

 

[skurey]

Let's play who is the Cavs 2nd best player in this series

Is it Delly?

 

[longislandcuse]

Incredibly, yes.

Lol. Credibility gone.

It's Brendan Haywood

If Steph is back on point, GS will win Game 4.

 

[longislandcuse]

Lol. Credibility gone.

I actually think he has been. Who else has influenced Cleveland's 2 wins more than Lebron and Delly?

...and I hate Delly.

 

[Cowtown]

Did Lebron foul Curry on the steal with about 50 seconds left?

Of course he did. And?

 

[skurey]

Golden State still favorites for the series (-120)

 

[44cuse]

In other words, the Warriors had a historically efficient and potent offensive season. In the first two games of the finals, Cleveland has disrupted that and taken them out of their game. GS needs to get back on track if they are to win the series.

44cuse--any sense that the moment might be too big for Kerr? He doesn't seem to have any answers--yet.

I don't think it's a Kerr issue. I just don't know what adjustments you can make when Steph and Klay are missing open threes on top of generally not being able to get open too often. Add in to that Dellavadova making falling bank shots for three point plays. Not much you can do. Bringing Lee off the bench helped. Running the high ball screen seemed to help a bit. But you nailed it: when you are a historically great offensively efficient team...and you can't get 38 points in the 1H...you have problems. Heck, they scored 36 in the 4th.

End of the day, Cavs have a great game plan right now.

44cuse

 

[44cuse]

Of course he did. And?

Yes. He tackled him.

Two illegal screens and Bogut holding Shumpert's leg. Should be 3 fouls. Instead 3 points for Steph.

 

[cuseattle]

Really a great series so far. For those of us without a rooting interest, this is great. Underdogs up a game with 4 possibly to go.
LeBron has been amazing.
Splash folks have to step up.

I certainly wouldn't bet against GS next game, but Cavs D has been tough.

Good to get a little hoops fix with two interesting teams.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Yeah, you don't want them to start calling illegal screens. Mosgov will foul out in the first quarter if they did.

My main issue with this is setting aside Klay. You're certainly tilting the scales in one direction by taking out a guy who made third team all league this year.

This is the first time I actually think the Cavs are going to win the series. It's pretty incredible. Another takeaway I have is the refs have pretty much decided to stop calling fouls unless someone dies.

That's sooooo disappointing to me. Bludgeon ball shouldn't be encouraged.
