June 5, 201511 yr Definitely a fun game last night. Not much better than NBA Playoff games. And I don't even really like the NBA that much.
June 5, 201511 yr Was going to be a very tall task for Cleveland to win it with Kyrie. No chance they pull it off if he's out like is expected. Incredibly fun game to watch.
June 5, 201511 yr Great game; I'm not a big NBA guy until the playoffs roll around, but these playoffs have been very good.
June 5, 201511 yr LeBron had 38 shots and that was with Irving on the court. I can only imagine now. When he takes his iso to the post and passes off of it, that was when the Cavs looked tough to defend. If he is going to iso out where he was and settle for jumpers, then that plays into the Warriors hands.
June 5, 201511 yr It kills me every time I see a player with a chance to win the game, shoot a fall-away three. LBJ had a TREMENDOUS game, but a critical lack of judgement on the final play of regulation. Attack the rim and take your chances there, instead of a fall-away three.

The only thing that was remotely effective outside of Bron scoring off the ISO and Kyrie creating was Mosgov catching a Bron pass diving to the rim. GS played the ISO straight up man and didn't leave shooters to help when Bron backed his defender down. They took away passing lanes and made him go solo...

Iggy took away the drive by over playing his left hand. At that point there wasn't much choice but to put up a jumper and allow time for a rebound and put back...

GS played the ISO straight up man and didn't leave shooters to help when Bron backed his defender down. They took away passing lanes and made him go solo... Agreed. Kerr coached that well and having Iggy sure helps. It was like a decision that you make against the Knicks. Let the star have the ball and points, take away everyone else.
June 5, 201511 yr How about reverse dribble then? Or pull back one dribble, then attack. Anything but a fall-away three. Everybody wants to be SC Top 10, even LBJ.
June 5, 201511 yr Iggy took away the drive by over playing his left hand. At that point there wasn't much choice but to put up a jumper and allow time for a rebound and put back... Why didn't the Cavs run picks to get Mosgov to the block when LBJ extended out? Bogut has no chance against him, neither did Spaeth, though those two didn't face each other much.
June 5, 201511 yr I'd bet the Cavs take game 2 on the road. High task at hand, but after an OT performance like that they've got to be ticked off beyond belief. I look for JR Smith to have a big night.
June 5, 201511 yr Also, 1-10 the Warriors are the deepest team since? Has to be one of the Spurs teams. They are so deep that David Lee didn't even take his warm up off yesterday. He's past his prime, but still could get minutes for most teams. Iggy, Livingston (glad to see that he's having success again), Spaeth, Barbosa, and the the big man (I'll never get his name right) are a very very good second unit, WOW!

You don't want to clog the lane on the ISO call. Put Mosgov on the block and Bron has company if he gets past Iggy. Didn't like the ISO call there at all. Not enough time for Bron to bully his way down if the drive was cut off and forces the jumper...
