The game was back and forth. Cleveland was a missed shot away from being up 3-1 with that big lineup. They lose game 4 and that coach benches the only cat that has been balling with LBJ. He is there second leading scorer in the Finals. Shat makes no sense to me.

They were outscored by nine points with Mozgov out there in Game 4

Mozgov scored 28 points with 10 rebounds in Game 4. No way in hell you bench him in Game 5. Cleveland doesn't have enough guns to battle with small ball. You got to go big and pound their azzes down low.
 
Bane. He may provide some scoring but there's no way in hell they were going to slow the game down with him playing 20 plus minutes. Even if he scores consistently, GS is up and running the other way. GS has a bunch of cheetahs, gazelles, road runners, etc. on that damn squad.
 
As good as Mosgov was for the Cavs on offense, he was a liability on the defensive end. OAN: Barbosa and Lee have been huge for the Warriors.

How so? He has been doing a pretty good job guarding Draymond Green. Golden State had pretty much benched Green in favor of David Lee since Mosgov was playing much better.

When the Warriors go small they can take advantage of his lack of speed.

They went small the first 3 games and Cleveland was damn near up 3-0. You got to stick with what has been working since you are severely out maned. Go big and put LBJ in the post which slows the game down.

Naw for the first 2 games, the Warriors tried to play Bogut, Speights and the other center. It wasn't until the 4th quarter of Game 3 that they figured out how going small could help them win.

Not only that but they force Mosgav and Thompson to play out of their comfort zone on defense. What other big man can defend out in the perimeter or run with Draymond Green? Green doesn't have to score but you have to respect his game on the other end of the floor.

Are you F'n serious? GS adjusted in Game 4 and 5 by going small and running them out the gym. How much clearer can I make that out to you?

Blown out of the gym? Those games didn't get out of hand until mid-way through the 4th quarter when Golden State got hot. Up until then they were even. Last night is a prefect example. Cleveland was leading with about 7 minutes to go.

That their game plan, let LeBron wear himself out and so that in the fourth quarter he's tired, you saw those air balls in the fourth.

LeBron hit that deperation 40 foot shot to go up for about 20 seconds before Curry answered and they led for good. 7 minutes is a long time in an NBA game. It was only as close as Cleveland could get it. The game wasn't really in question.

If Delly would have gotten hot and started to make shots like Smith did, Cleveland would have won that game.
