Event 2018 NBA Finals, Warriors vs Cavaliers.

BUT: LeBron was -13 (and JR Smith -22!) and yet the Cavs took it to OT.
Meanwhile Korver was +12 in only 16 minutes - maybe play him a bit more?

 

He was more than not set. He was sliding

 

Blazers well-represented here:

 

BUT: LeBron has NEVER won a first game in the Finals with the Cavs.

Biggest change would be if Iguodala comes back. Then I'll agree on a sweep.

 

There’s no doubt that this season is LeBron’s greatest achievement. The problem with heroically dragging a pile of garbage to the Finals is that then you’re in the Finals with a pile of garbage.

 

I don't know.
LBJ has been doing this the entire playoffs.
My only thing is the Cavs really didn't shoot well and were in position to take a game in GSW.
LBJ was 3-7 from three.
Rest of the Cavs were 7-30. That's like 23%???
The others, in the Celtics series shot so much better in Cle, than they did in Bos.
If that holds true. I think this'll be 3-2 GSW going into g6.

I don't think the Cavs should be in a game against GSW where they shoot 23% from three... And GSW shoots 36%
FTA's were even.
Seems like GSW has been getting killed on the glass all post-season.(especially in losses)

 

Ha!

I guess I have a similar take. Well maybe a little different. Watching James is rather like watching Chamberlain back in his day as the most dominate offensive player in the game.
While he was individually awesome, it was really shitty basketball you were watching. Basketball is a team sport and at it's finest, the oneness of five is the ultimate in excellence.
The dominance of any individual can never match the sweetness of true excellence.

 

Korver was just an all-star a couple seasons ago in Atlanta....and he certainly can still shoot. Love was putting up ridiculous numbers in MIN and it's not like he is old. George Hill has been very productive at times, Thompson is a rebounding fool, JR is mercurial but has hit a lot of shots in his day, Jeff Green, Rodney Hood, Jordan Clarkson.....these guys have all been productive NBA players at one point.

Why are they all so bad now?

 

Your turn with Mrs. HCP?

 

I still want to know what you were playing on the switch lol , was it nba 2k playing Gs and Cleveland heh.

 

Exactly. Compare the shooters coming off the bench for Cleveland to that of Portland's. Korver, Green, Hood, Clarkson.......I would take any of them (Plus Nance as a rebounded) It is not exactly LBJ and bunch of misfits. I think it is more of a lack of chemistry being thrown together at the trade deadline.

 

Too much PT and too many shots for J.R. Smith == not enough shots for Korver, Hill, Green., etc. Korver is shooting .446 3FG% in the playoffs. It's what he does and what he's always done. Get the man more shots. Hill isn't shooting the ball great from 3, but his post season FG% is .481, compared to J.R.'s .353 FG%.

Hood is fool's gold. He put up some good numbers for UTA during the regular season, before the trade, but he has little post season experience and when he has played in the playoffs he's flat out sucked (last year in UTA PER = 4.7, this year in CLE PER - 5.8). His career playoff 3FG% = .232. I know some here wanted him at the trade deadline (some were even willing to give up C.J. to get him, because of his size at SG), but I'm glad we didn't. He's a shitty defender and wilts under pressure.

BNM

 

That means nothing you don't know the rules.

 

Your shooting motion does not start when you gather the ball.
