    While I agree that he should scrap the jumper, not posting up would be a mistake. Last I heard he was 9-13 in the paint Thursday night and the bulk of that was backing his guy down in the post. Lebron driving and posting is the best recipe to create help and allow the role players to get open shots. For the cavs to win he has to be much more efficient offensively than he was Thursday. That means he needs to score roughly 1.5 times the number of shots he takes and get the rest of team more involved.

    They dont double when he posts, I'd live all day with his back to the basket with that strong man ugly fadaway if I were GS. Looks over.

    I don't know how anyone in their right mind that follow basketball can think Cleveland has a shot to win any games

    actually looking at the ref assignments they even it out, the others are all pretty good for the home team.



    not calling you out just your post fits perfect

    Can't win with Delldedova in, some kinda way gotta limit his minutes, can't defend, can't do much, I wonder if he'd take out Curry, step in when Steph shoots so he lands on your foot, do it over and over blatantly, if he got suspended so what. It's their only shot.

    Della actually is a good defender. He won't shoot as Kyrie but he sure plays better defense. The problem is I think Curry is way above his league. If JR has a +40% night, Cavs will probably cover. I just ask for a 7pt difference.

    not really. their A-game is evident in all those 15+ point victories they racked up over the regular season, in the playoffs they have had at most 3 such "A-games" so to expect them to produce an A-game even every other game is going against what this postseason has shown us. 3 A-games out of 16 total games.

    So you are defining their A game as any game in which they won by 15+? That seems rather silly.

    Mathew Dellavedova, is the key. If he eat alive Curry, we have a chance.

    You guys think Atlanta is on the same level as Golden State… Golden State would be -20 points every game against Atlanta


    State is one of the best teams we've seen in a long long time

    JJ stop bullshitting! Yeah this series "most likely" over but everyone will be singing different tune by end of night if Cavs should win. And don't act like you along with other colleagues like LB weren't dumb enough to tout Bulls and Hawks vs Cavs and Rocks vs Gsw!

    It's partly because people who don't watch them play or understand good statistics can't comprehend how good they are on defence. People (like Charles Barkley) are only used to defense in the NBA equating to size and bullying in the middle.

    I'm surprised no one's play the slow game against Golden State this year as they look very vulnerable to that type of play

    Are you serious?! As i predicted his offense wouldnt be as good as kyrie's, but his defense has been quite good and has helped the Cavs a lot. If you cant see that, youre one of the dumbest fukks on this forum.
