    Series is overr though if lebrons jumper is here to stay. All the other guys feed off it and get in their rythms. Plus its just easier for lebron, he's not as tired at the end of the games. When scoring is easy for lebron, everything else the team does opens up

    Lebrons jumper is the least of the factors that led to a cavs blow out last night.

    Kyrie's jumper on the other hand...

    And not running 500 isolation plays, and JR smith finally showing up for a finals game.

    A lot of good stuff happened really

    And that all happened because golden states defensive scheme of pinching down on lebrons perimeter outlets doesnt work when you face up with lebron out near the 3 pt line. Yeah once guys got in rythm it was a boat race lebrons jumper doesnt matter.

    In any case the announcers all made the exact same assessment.

  • I say we bring in K Love off the bench

    I think thats a given. The matchup just isnt right with the warriors. Cavs already have to protect kyries defense.

  • C Clevfan4life

    So can we put to rest the argument over lebrons jmid range jumper being crucial to the cavs success? Announcers themelves said cavs cant win the series if lebron doesnt make them

    OK, it does pull the Warrior's defense out, I'll grant you that.

    He doesn't have to shoot the lights out from outside, just make enough to get Golden State's attention.

    Given. Love cannot guard Draymond Green. (LeBron can) If K-Love isn't scoring 25 and pulling down 12 rebounds, he's a liability. That leaves TT to defend the Warriors other bigs. I was damn impressed the way Thompson defended Curry on the perimeter in switches.

  • The warriors seemed incredulous that they had fouls called against them.

    It's a farce, Curry and a few others were like "hey, wtf? we get to get away with stuff like that... on our home court..."

    But going out of your way to initiate contact on a dribble, then you get a call??? and the flopping, players must

    be looking for the really stupid ass refs to fall for that.

    I look for the warriors to "accidently" elbow another Cav in the back of the head, or something, to put

    them out of the game..again.

    The Cavs need to mix their passing up a bit - the Warriors are looking for certain passes to intercept em.

    It works both ways though, the Cavs intercepted a few.

    My hunch is, Friday's game may end up controversial based on warrior's tactics.

    .

    I know right? The entitlement of that team is what annoys me. Remember iguodala mugging delly for accidently brushing his nuts? Their guy can doink a dude square in the balls with a knee or foot, but brush the fabric on their shorts and they wanna fight.

    You hear thimpson complaining about mozgovs completely legal and stationary pick? From a team that has perfected the art of the moving pick.....its how curry and thompson get off their shots

    you got it...keep the starting lineup the same as last night and love off the bench and i think the cavs have a hell of a shot at winning this thing..

    RJ moves and makes quicker decisions than Love, and his D is better on top of that. Though the guy is in good shape, they have to monitor his minutes- he is 36 after all.

    Driving around today listening to Jay Mohr Sports. They had a former NBA GM on the show- and he says the the same thing. (If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.) His opinion is the worst thing the Cavs could do is start Love, and he has another bad shooting game right off the bat. He'd be relegated to second team for the rest of the series. The Cavs are still in a zero margin for error mode. You can bet Lue and LeBron could care less about hurt feelings right now- it's all about winning the Championship. As I said earlier in this thread, Love is a very poor matchup against the Warriors.

    It was opined depending on what happens the rest of the series, the Cavaliers may try to move Love in the off season. With the cap going way up- there's other teams that can afford him.

  • It is now or never for that of the LeBron and the team to win one and have a championship ring!

  • If we can move love in the offseason....durant?

  • If love still had his post game id say stick with him, but im not comfortable anymore with a long 4 that plays bad defense and makes his money off of his 3 pt shooting. He's awesome when his 3 pt'er is going down, blows the floor wide open. But when its not he cant put his work boots on and go get nasty in the paint

    Thats what Im talking about.. Durant would give us a premier defense upfront then maybe you find another gun slinger in FA...

    This has been Lebron's game for years. And that isn't a knock on Lebron that is a reality of modern basketball. Harden is also a wizard at it.

    Very good game for the Cavs. If they shoot the ball well it will be a good series. Game 4 is a big one for the Cavs.

    I keep hearing we should move love but it might be difficult with his max contract

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

    Melo isn't leaving NYC, he likes doing commercials and Durant would be leaving a better team. Hope tonight is a solid game 4

  • Are u kidding me with these screens? Did the announcer just say i dunno if that bogut screen was illegal or not? Bogut was pass blocking the defensive end, not setting an NBA pick. His feet were chop stepping the entire pick into kyrie. What the serious fuck?
