No doubt, he may not be up to snuff, but I'd imagine players on both sides have a lotta aches, pains and nagging injuries.

The season is 82 "one-offs," a game here, a game there, never the same team back-to-back, let alone seven games.

The Cavs may well get their hineys handed to 'em tonight, but I think they deserve some credit for Steph's issues. This is a scenario I thought all season was possible after watching pretty much every minute of every Cavs game including their summer league games with Rakeem in the lineup.  No more one-offs, now, 7-game slugfests where coaches and players adjust, mind games are played, the strong rise and possibly thrive.

I don't imagine Ty Lue, et al., including the team leader, just started thinking of ways to defend and attack Curry and the Warriors the day after the Toronto series ended.  Steph may well go off for fiddy tonight, who knows. but I also think he and his teammates and coaches were more focused on the 73 wins than the bubbly. LeBron's been to seven finals in his 13-year career, hardly a coincidence, and played in Olympics on top of all that. I think he, at this point of his career, gets the marathon concept.
