NBA Finals 2016


Recommended Posts



  • Igoudala and Barnes are 2 of the few in the league that can play D on LeBron.

 

This is what I was most looking forward to seeing, how they played LeBron. Some teams have one defender that can try to matchup with LeBron's size & speed (Butler, Leonard, etc.), but not 2+ like the Warriors.

It's going to be interesting seeing how the Cavs adjust going forward.

 

Do they continue to focus entirely on Curry and Thompson and hope that the bench players don't play lights-out again?

 

Or do they shift how they play off the screens?

 

 

I find it absolutely dumbfounding. Curry has a terrible game shooting the ball, and then when it gets into crunch time, he's the one to score the dagger bucket. Delly and the rest of the Cavs pretty much hugged Curry the entire time he didn't have the ball and was trying to get open, but that's by no means an excuse. He missed a lot of shots that he normally doesn't miss. So it's a precarious position for the Cavs, because you know that he and Thompson aren't likely to shoot that poorly again.

Danger zone for the Cavs. Steph and Klay had one of the worst nights of their careers collectively. LeBron is one assist shy of a triple-double, Kyrie leads all scorers with 26, Love has 17/13, and they still got housed.

Really what's got to happen for the Cavs offensively IMO is:

 

1) They've got to swing the ball more

2) Lebron has to force the issue more and be more aggressive - which is crazy to say because he almost had a triple-double, but he needs to step up and score the ball. Not enough shot attempts for him IMO.
