NBA Finals | Game 1 | Cavs @ Warriors | May 31, 2018 | 9:00pm EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I am stressed about having Korver in games because he looks like last finals' Korver...

I tend to see him as a defensive artillery master meaning he performs really well in home games than away and usually just hits 1 or 2 on an inefficient night. I usually write him off from the start but hope I am wrong about him all the time.
 
Hurts that we blew that lead with bad turnovers, and Lue really should've called a timeout to make adjustments.

He actually did call a timeout. When love shit the bed with his second turnover after going 0-3, and put in LeBron, unfortunately it led to two other turnovers back to back from TT and JR.

Can’t fault lue during that run.
 
What do we need to see guys? I think LeBron needs to attack attack attack.

Keep playing them super physical. Can’t run the same offense if LeBron has to come off for a rest. Hill doing ISO and love post up? No Bueno. We need to run the offense through love at the elbow. Get guys moving!

That corner 3 from Hill was beautiful basketball, player and ball movement, quick decisions, want to see more of that rather than Love taking 14 ft jumpers with LBJ out. Love finding his 3 ball is desperately needed.
 
Not likely we shoot that good again this game

I’m so mad at JC and JR
 
The fact that this team, consisting of these players, is in the NBA Finals is absolutely a testament to the greatness of Lebron James. Holy shit.
 
Hill has 3 fouls, Clarkson playing no direction. At this point I would love to see Calderon.
 
LeBron shoots 82% from the field, scores 24 and game is tied................

About 5 minutes left Cavs were up 11 and I was starting to get this tingly feeling like we actually had a chance this game but that got wrecked pretty fast.
 
Cavs have a high learning curve playing the Warriors. The off ball movement and screening is very unique, however it lends itself to bogging down with great switching. The Cavs do not have great switching just yet. They usually develop it as the series goes on
 
When Clarkson does something good, like get a steal, he gets an adrenaline rush and takes it as carte blanche to "improvise" offensively by taking on the entire defense, which usually ends up in a TO or a layup that fails to hit the rim. Frustrating to watch an athletically skilled guy play like that.
This is his problem. He could be a very useful player if he just played a role. He seems to think he is an all star, and tries to do way too much.
 
Not likely we shoot that good again this game

I’m so mad at JC and JR

That good? We're 25% from 3. I think we're able to get inside but our outside shooting is awful.
 
The offensive sets we ran In the first quarter were so crisp and beautiful.

If we regress to basic PnR and iso, this all falls on Luecifer
