Especially now that they have going back to the 2-2-1-1-1 format.

Iguodala will put LeBron in check just like last year (defensively). Kyrie will be a factor, but Kevin Love will be a "no show".

That's funny because I told my coworker that the Warriors will win in 5.
 
Well, Lebron got the players he wanted (Love over Wiggins and bench players). The coach he wanted (Lue over Blatt). And yet these last two games are the results?! Blatt tried to show them last year to slow the games down and pound the ball down low. This worked with a depleted team. It could still work but they wanna run like Lue has been coaching them to do. Smh, they don't have the fire power to run with Golden State.
As I have stated a while ago....Love will be made the scapegoat I just wanna know which game its going to be.

Iso ball don't work against the Warriors. Posting up Love or Bron plays right into their hands.

You have to move the rock against them.

But Cleveland has to defend better. They are getting killed every time they switch. Just poor rotations all over the place.

Problem on D is Lue hasn't been coaching D. He has been adjusting their offense to put the weaker teams in a shootout. Once those weaker teams start to try to run with Cleveland they start missing shots and Cleveland get to running.
Against weak teams this works but once they play offensively effective teams they have problems. That's how Toronto won two games, it wasn't Cleveland D it was the fact they were making shots and not letting Cleveland run.
Now playing the Warriors they have to play D and they can't even switch correctly cause they are trying to do something they haven't done all year, play team defense.

Cleveland was a solid defensive team this season. But the Warriors just stress your defense so much that if you don't have the personnel to combat them (which the Cavs don't) you lose by 33 in the Finals.

Love can't guard on the perimeter. Irving can guard on the perimeter. LeBron isn't the iso defender he used to be.

Cleveland actually defended the Warriors well in the first quarter because they helped and recovered and rotated well.

After that, ugh!

Cleveland would have a better shot against the Thunder, because they don't have the depth or versatility the Warriors do.
 



I think Cleveland will win one at home and then the Warriors will win the rest. Too much fire power for them. Cleveland can't stop the threes.

It ain't just the threes that's killing Cleveland. They can't stop the ball movement. Just about everyone on GS can handle the ball and setup the offense as if they are a damn point guard.

Not just that....everybody with GS and I mean EVERYBODY can fire up a 3!!!!! I wouldn't be surprised if the dudes who clean the sweat up off the floor shoots 3s.
 
The Warriors have now won seven consecutive games against the Cavs — three straight to claim last season's title, twice in the 2015-16 regular season, and now twice in these NBA Finals — and in each effort, the Cavs have found themselves further and further from victory.

Plus, they got rim protectors in Bogut and Ezeli. It just seem at times GSW has four or five dudes on the court that can shoot, pass, dribble and defend. Warriors are just a bad matchup for Cleveland as currently constituted. Plus, Love might be out for Game 3 after getting whacked in the head by Barnes.

It might not go five games.

But: The Warriors squad is probably Don Nelson's ideas made flesh LOL.
 
They were daring Draymond to shoot all of Game 2 and when he started making them the Cavs morale was shot to shit. The series ain't over but damn they looked uninspired in the 2nd half last night.

Look, here it is right here. Look.

The Cavs went through a WEAK EAST and struggled with the freaking Raptors. The Raptors. Do y'all REALLY trust Kyrie and Love, who've played a combined ONE Finals game?

The Warriors have heart. They have guts. NOBODY is gonna shutdown Steph and Klay. GSW has just too many versatile players.

LeBron is 2-4 in the Finals. He doesn't have the will, the clutch gene and wilts under the pressure. It's proven. And it will be proven again against GSW.

King James will be crying after four games. It's gonna be a sweep.
