June 10, 201511 yr Which is almost exactly what he's averaging in the Finals (41, 12, & 8.3) What's the Finals record for shot attempts per game? LBJ has to be in the 35 range.
June 10, 201511 yr I'll remember that the next time LeBron takes out Curry's legs and there's no call. Count the instances next game. Be objective. One team holds, grabs, and pushes as their strategy and has largely went uncalled.....
June 10, 201511 yr I like Steve Kerr but he is getting a total pass I think. He is letting Cleveland play slow ball by letting LBJ walk it up and take the clock down to the wire almost every possession. Why not double LBJ early and make him get rid of it - make the other guys beat you. I understand the original strategy of not letting the other guys get involved but it is not working. In reality, they should be down 3-0.
June 10, 201511 yr Count the instances next game. Be objective. One team holds, grabs, and pushes as their strategy and has largely went uncalled..... Steph Curry is going to ask you to watch film and see how many times he was grabbed.
June 10, 201511 yr What's the Finals record for shot attempts per game? LBJ has to be in the 35 range. My quick research shows that Rick Barry averaged 39.1 FG attempts per game in 1967.

June 10, 201511 yr My quick research shows that Rick Barry averaged 39.1 FG attempts per game in 1967. Nice work on your part. That doesn't surprise me.
June 10, 201511 yr My quick research shows that Rick Barry averaged 39.1 FG attempts per game in 1967. Wait, that may not be the Finals.
June 10, 201511 yr I cannot wait for game 4. We will find out what GS is made of. They are not used to adversity...well they have it now.
June 10, 201511 yr Steph Curry is going to ask you to watch film and see how many times he was grabbed. Guarantee not half as much as LeBron. Not even close. Curry might have been grabbed off the ball but that happens at every level. LeBron gets rode the entire way to the basket. Should have shot 60 FTs by now in this series.
June 10, 201511 yr He shot about 40% tonight. If you double team him he'll kill you and get much higher % shots for his teammates. LeBron would love to see the double. Especially at home. I agree, I think that would be a death sentence for GS. No need to let guys like Smith, Shumpert and Jones get going.
June 10, 201511 yr He shot about 40% tonight. If you double team him he'll kill you and get much higher % shots for his teammates. Again, make the other guys beat you...especially when the original strategy (which I initially agreed with) is not working. At least some of the time. Mix it up. And I would like the double to come as he is bringing it up the court...not when he is in the front court.
June 10, 201511 yr Nice work on your part. That doesn't surprise me. I would have guessed Allen Iverson.
June 10, 201511 yr If Curry didn't somewhat wake up finally in the fourth quarter, would/should he be getting roasted like James was against Dallas. He hit some bombs or I think the story would be him wilting under the lights of the finals. I think he may have it going now...these next few games should be a lot of fun.
