Until the Finals where in true Warriors fashion he will shoot 60%

Lets see. He could not get his shot right for 3 Rounds i doubt he suddenly will now. I guess his Knee and Back are really bothering his Shot.
 
Both LeBron and DWill were both sniffing too in their interview videos. Unfortunate...
 
Let’s not discount the possibility that a Warriors sympathizer poisoned our team?
 
Kyle looked like he was in his own head tonight playing his first Finals game. Please correct in time for G2.
 
I can forgive him Game 1.. nerves because of first Finals Game.. but now please have a couple 4-6 Threes Games..
 
Alright, fine.

I'll be the one to get crucified for it.

I would much rather have PJ Tucker right now to throw at Durant. Korver is a great shooter and the trade itself was good. But the opportunity cost was having a second person who can at least get in Durant's way besides LeBron. LeBron having to guard Durant an entire game was always a terrible strategy.

I kind of disagree. If Korver can shoot like he usually does, that is good enough to overcompensate for whatever D PJ Tucker was going to do on Durant.

He had zero points. It's one game, but if he's not going to put the ball in the basket, he's literally useless to us against GS.

Zero points. ZERO. He needs to be a factor.

Exactly. This is why I never loved the Korver trade. And I got crucified a bit.

I get it, the value was fine. I like Korver, I think he's a very good player. And I never disliked having him here.

I just felt, if you're going to beat GS; you can't build your team like them to do it. No one is beating them at their game.

And I felt, we lost track of what beat them in the first place. That was defense. Not offense. Sure, Kyrie and LeBron had great offensive performances, but we were able to defend them, slow them down, and make the game our style.

The Cavs should have been countering ways to amplify that, instead, we tried to be more like them, and I am not sure it's going to be a great recipe.

Our perimeter defense is probably our biggest weakness and that's not a weakness you want against Golden State.
 
Korver just needs to make shots. Replacing him with someone that Golden State doesn't have to guard doesn't help us either.

You can't replace him or JR. Someone wanted to go to Shump instead. Can't we just need these guys to play better. Otherwise we can't beat GS, and replacing their minutes is not the solution.

I am more worried about JR than Korver. Korver's lack of scoring output has been by design, more than anything.

JR just seems not the same. Even though he's averaged only 6 a game he has shot the ball.

But we need JR the gunslinger more now. He'll take some bad shots, but if he gets hot, we are just a different team. I gotta think eventually he'll break though with a big performance, but it seems forever since he has.
