Iggy drew a double I believe on one switch. Whether its a miss or not doesn't matter if it's an open shot. Certain lineups Kyrie has to be taken out. The Warriors are far too smart and will find the mismatch every time. Unlike us, we go away from it too much.
Was it really even an opportunity though? Yeah the "Splash Bros" played like shit but it almost feels like it was at the cost of role players such as Livingston/Barnes/Iggy doing whatever the fuck they want. Nothing about this loss felt like an anomaly, sadly. Well, except Klay/Curry combining for 20 points...If you literally want to add nothing to this thread or board, have at it.
You aren't the posting police. The Cavs flushed a golden opportunity to steal a game against a better team.
If you want to call people babies and pussies, go for it. That's obviously what this is all about right?
Every damn offensive foul took crucial points away from us.
Wait til you hear about what Andy did to us...We got beat by Shaun Livingston? Really? We gave that dude a chance to play basketball again, and he fucks us over like THAT?
This X100000000000000000. This game was all about schemes. Our schemes were horrible. I thought we had moved away from this style of play? Wasn't this the playing style that got Blatt fired? Now Lue experiments with this in the Finals?!!!! I just can't...Schematically, we're lost. We aren't making passes that lead to anything mainly because we are so stagnant. Passing just to pass, then to pass it back to the player who originally passed it.
The Warriors are abusing us as far as X's and O's, mismatches, switches, ect. If we're going to try to win based on talent (which is what it looked like to me) then this series will be over in 4 or 5 games.
Irving was one of the best Cavs defenders tonight; easily.
Late in the 3rd quarter, as I recall, he was leading the team in plus-minus, AFAIK (+4). Hard to argue he was poor defensively considering he played such good perimeter defense.
@NoTitleTownokay then explain how his game plan of iso was a good idea? clearly it was a game plan with them going in the post with Love and Lebron the 1st 2 quarters. explain to me why it was good game plan to go with kyrie with the 2nd unit instead of the more successful lebron 2nd unit. explain me the game plan to not play frye at all in the 2nd half and why we are still using delly and kyrie on livingston when he always torch these guys in the regular season and not use the taller Richardson on him?
i have no beef with you..i just need people to explain their reasoning in support of this gameplan.
