Great stuff, hope it gets some recognition from some of the casual fans and media idiots.

Wish they'd included some elbows and the like on Delly though, wouldve really accentuated the point.

I've watched a lot of Golden State, and a switching defense, like the Cavaliers have played since Shumpert was bumped into the starting lineup, slows them down. The key is closing out on three point shots, which the Cavaliers have done all playoffs.

The Cavaliers will be challenged by Golden State putting up 12 -0 runs or 20 - 0 runs in the blink of an eye. They can go on scoring runs better than any other NBA team this year. And that is why Kyrie and JR Smith are so key. The Cavaliers will have to make huge scoring bursts several times a game against Golden State, not just one or two a game then grind the opponent down.

Dead on of course. The Warriors don't always look so impressive, but then they just blow up on you. The players are running around and the game seems even and then sixty seconds later Golden State is up by 10 or 15. They just catch fire and start raining 3s. We will need to be relentless about closing out and even then we are going to have guys get hot on some kind of consistent basis.

Not sure about that. You can DECIDE to hustle. I can't DECIDE to be lights-out from three. I can DECIDE to work on my shot, but better athletes are going to improve at a faster rate.

It's like being born with a 3-inch dong: no amount of hustle is going to make you a pornstar - it takes a certain amount of talent to just get through the door...

I disagree. You can't just decide to hustle, at least not the way Delly does it, you have to work at it just like any other skill. Don't underestimate how much skill is involved to be able to press Jeff Teague full court without him just blowing right past you. Most players wouldn't try to do that because they can't. That's why Teague gets so frustrated, here's this guy pestering him constantly and he can't use his own skill to take advantage of it. There's also the tremendous amount of work that goes into conditioning to be able to play like that.

And Delly usually holds his own when he's stuck on a big posting him up with his hustle, but again that kind of hustle takes skill too. All of the hustle in the world isn't going to do any good if you don't have the skill to go with it. And that ridiculous shot he scored on the one handed rebound put back while being fouled certainly took skill too.

We do the same thing to teams.

We do the same thing when we have KLove and Kyrie at 100%. Without them, not so much.

I so much wish we could see what a series with them would be like with us being at full strength. That game against them at the Q earlier this season was fantastic.

Hawks game 1 a close 5 point game became an 18 point game in 2:07 of playing time.

Hawks game 2 a 4 point game became an 11 point game going on a 11-4 run in 1:23. A couple minutes later we went on a 9-0 run in 2 minutes to bump the lead to 19.

Hawks game 4 we immediately went on an 8-0 run in 53 seconds to jump to a 12-4 lead. That run involved 3 shots, a steal and a defensive rebound.
 
Warriors will lose this game, in actuality Matthew Dellevedova is a very high quality defender, and the best white defender under 6'10 in the nba.

I'd rather target an athletic wing with upside or a project big man. Point guards are a dime a dozen in the NBA.

We need a 3rd pg, athletic wings are a dime a dozen. We have Lebron, Shump, and JR. We also have a rookie wing in Joe Harris.

If we bring our "core Back" then we really need a 3rd pg more than anything.
 
I've been having a pretty heated argument with a few friends about Delly being a dirty player for a couple of days now. I love in Toronto so obviously there's a little bit of an anti Cleveland bias here because they hate that another city where people don't want to play gets lucky in 2003 and then gets a bunch of first round picks when he leaves.

Anyway, I have defended him and even illustrated why he's not a dirty player. The only real incident that can even be called into question is the Korver injury but they keep bring up Al Horford and Taj Gibson. Horford pulled him down and Taj pushed him to the ground but all people think is he tried to take out Horford and Gibson. They've watched the video and I've broken it down for them but they still say he's had 3 incidents... Freaking morons. Anyway, I posted the bball breakdown and the Terrence Jones videos and haven't heard from them in over an hour. Haha. And they've been questioning my knowledge of basketball, making me look like an idiot by gang insulting me. I'm sure they'll have some stupid shit to say, but I think I won this round.
