a good thing about the cavs winning is that we get the best game in any playoff series: the favorite down 2-1 on the road

that's what I'm hoping for, grizz gave all they had in their two wins and were objectively a much better team than the cavs (and playing I guess the closest style to this cavs style but in a way better to watch) and ran into a wall just the same

these games have been awesomeDELLAVADOOOVAAAAAAAAAAA
i was happy to see Steph starting to get his mojo back and plugging insane threes, but it came too late
― Nhex, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 07:00 (nine years ago) link
the lee/curry pick n roll was so beautiful it brought back some good memories they need more of that since draymond is either too shook to shoot or just drives into a turnover every time. green's playing himself out of some money with this series. barnes too.
since I'm just butthurt ill just complain about the dova dribbling violation that wasn't called on his way to his miracle run killing three point play and lebro wiping out currys legs with no call.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 07:07 (nine years ago) link
currys turnovers in the 4th were so dumb

Behind the back bounce pass to nobody got the high school coaches' attention

lebro wiping out currys legs with no call.
if the cavs somehow come away with this, this is the play i will remember from this series i'm pretty sure

terrific that delly has shown you seppos how much to harden up on the court

I was honestly surprised that lee did everything anyone could have expected and didn't even have opportunity to turn into a liability, really
at this point do you consider starting him (w the caveat that draymond will obv still get a ton of minutes) or is that simply too crazy/dangerous
― slothroprhymes, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 11:46 (nine years ago) link
or try starting a small ball lineup with draymondo at center and lee at PF
― slothroprhymes, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 11:47 (nine years ago) link
also just checked the box score and holy bejesus the dubs only got to the line for 12 attempts and made 7. how are they drawing barely any fouls other than a touch of #homecookin? and LOL that 5 of those 12 attempts (w 3 makes) were david goddamned lee
― slothroprhymes, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 11:52 (nine years ago) link
they also need to not score in the teens in the 3d qtr wtf is goink on w/ that
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 12:03 (nine years ago) link
dubs need to pull this out in order to shut phil jackson up

agreed x 1,000
― slothroprhymes, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 12:23 (nine years ago) link
looking at offensive stats, green and barnes are killing the warriors, yeesh.
i didn't see all of the game last night but fully support dusting off david lee, they're getting nothing on offense from the entire frontcourt and that's just not going to work.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 12:37 (nine years ago) link
part of me thinks maybe the dubs should consider rotating help onto lebron a little more often when he moves into the paint bc at this pt no cav is lights out from 3 and it seems like they're giving away a lot inside. but it also seems true that the cavs entire offensive game plan is to get the ball in brons hands to either pass out of the double or back down whoever so idk.
― head clowning instructor (art), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 14:32 (nine years ago) link
they shd def be brining some more hard doubles, more variety of looks imo
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 14:35 (nine years ago) link
ball denial, traps etc
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 14:36 (nine years ago) link
and they just cant let barnes guard him 1on1 hes getting destroyed
yeah i'd start iggy and maybe lee, as crazy as that sounds
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 10 June 2015 14:39 (nine years ago) link
with lee you worry about them getting shredded on defense but he's at least a competent offensive player. bogut and draymondo look like such stiffs right now
concepcion on dellavedova:
He’s got a career PER of 9.6. Right now, as you sit at your desk or cubicle or breakfast nook or whatever, your PER is probably closer to Delly’s than Delly’s is to LeBron’s career 27.7 PER. His elite skill is that opponents look at him and go, “How the fuck is this even happening?”

not enough to care, but winning money is better than losing money. plus it's just the principle of the thing -- what's happening seems to be defying the laws of basketball
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 10 June 2015 14:41 (nine years ago) link
xxp maybe also that works as a motivator to draymond and barnes to figure shit out?

id consider a iggy-lee-dray frontcourt
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 14:42 (nine years ago) link
yeah that might work, but they'll probably get killed on the offensive glass
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 10 June 2015 14:43 (nine years ago) link
none of this should matter because the warriors are so much better! why are we even discussing this
its just... life idk man
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 14:44 (nine years ago) link
if the warriors get nothign from draymond i'm not sure they're going to win the series, i would still run him out there and hope he unlocks it
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 10 June 2015 14:44 (nine years ago) link
i think one of golden state's biggest problems right now is that everyone went into the series thinking they had three guys to throw at lebron and it turns out they only have igoudala, who has been doing a great job but if the series goes 6 or 7 games i wonder how long he can keep banging with lebron in the post without disintegrating
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 10 June 2015 14:48 (nine years ago) link
yeah i think you gotta run with draymond but barnes needs to sit prob
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 14:48 (nine years ago) link
the warriors problems on defense pale in comparison to their problems on offense though, like if you can't top 96 points i don't even know
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 14:49 (nine years ago) link
there are tickets for game 5 going for 18.6k right now
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 10 June 2015 14:53 (nine years ago) link
yeah & to that end kerr needs to leave his fingerprints on this series somehow. there were so many offensive trips especially early in the game last night where the possession was one pass and then a contested shot. idk if he has to make strategic adjustments or just find out how to reset his players mentally, but fundamentally we're not watching the same team.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 10 June 2015 14:53 (nine years ago) link
right, i know he's shrugged off changing the starting lineup before but he needs to not be afraid to do that.

whose juice is stronger? as hard as it is to defend bron in the post, it is also physically demanding to be bron in the post 40 mins a game. he clearly gets gassed midway through the fourth and starts tossing up 3s/perimeter shots and those haven't been landing enough to be a concern (except possibly last night) and playing all but 3-5 mins of each game has to take some kind of toll.
― head clowning instructor (art), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 15:00 (nine years ago) link
agreed that its mostly the dubs offense thats the problem, like brons scored a ton but not efficiently
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 15:03 (nine years ago) link
fatigue is about to hit bron and mozgov haaaard, shit it sent delly to the hospital (and much as i dislike his play that sux)
