NBA Finals Game 4 | Warriors @ Cavaliers | June 11th, 2015 | 9:00pm EST

[Thelorn]

I feel good going into next game, 2 days rest.

Iman looks to have figured out how to guard Curry like Delly has been, need to quit switching Thompson on him, completely force Curry to drive if you do switch you have help and good recovery to contest his pull up 2 or floater.

Mozgod now knows hes playing against kids from here out, have Lebron feed him in the paint, take it inside, kick back to Lebron, or kick to the open man on the double, trust he makes it.

Start running pick and rolls/pops with Lebron and Smith, hope Smith finally makes something, keep exposing Lee in the pnr also.

I don't think Green,Barnes or Iggy have repeat scoring games, especially Green and Barnes.

Lebron if somewhat rested, will consider it another redeem game and loves away games, Delly get back to drinking coffee.

I feel we had good energy in the first and allowed a few bad calls to sway the tide, spent the rest of the game playing harder just to get back in and finally gassed once we got around 2.

you can take a player off the knicks, but can't take the knick out of a player

 

[Shumpmatic]

What? How do you have "potential" to space the floor? You either do or don't, and that lineup doesn't.

I forgot to put JJ in there. JR taking some of Shump's minutes too helps the spacing. I think staying big could end up losing us this series. Any team with Lebron shuldn't be afraid to play small against anybody. He won 2 chips with small ball

On the positive side.. we know Mozgov is going to ball next season. A 28 points 10 rebound game from a guy expected to merely protect the rim is nothing to sneeze at. He's very athletic and looks like he can't be hurt either.

Next season? Fuck that. He's going to be balling in the next damn game!

All it comes down to is we need to make shots. Period. Moz had a great game, but they'll single cover Moz all game and not give a shit. He doesn't really open anything up for anyone else. Us continually feeding him the ball does little to no good. Between Green, Bogut, and Lee they can deal with it if they get in foul trouble, especially if they're able to play their small ball lineup.

If we shoot like we did in game 4 in these next 2 games, we're done in 6. However, you have to think JR has SOMETHING in the tank. I guess we shall see.

Credit the warriors for at least forcing the ball out of LeBrons hands. Blew my mind that they were allowing Lebron to beat them given our lack of offensive weapons.

No matter what happens, I'm happy for C town. Bad media attention recently. Sports have been a Nice distraction.

 

[Zog]

We will have time to game plan for their small lineup now. I feel like the adjustments we made at half helped. Give the staff a couple days and I'm confident they can put somethring together.

More Mozgov. More LeBron in the post. Destroy them inside and control the tempo.

 

[Rainman]

Great season for Cavs either way but I think it's over.

Spoiler

for Golden State

People keep saying J.R is out of rythym. Dude has been terrible all series. He has been better and home than on the road all playoffs. We expect him to show up on the road? This was his chance.

@ ATL game 1 in a tight game... he gave us a nice lead by himself.

@ Chicago game 3 and 4 he was big in the 4th quarters.

He CAN make shots on the road, but they're shutting our role players down.

 

[bigfoot5415]

Dead serious when I say this. If they trot out Green at C to start a game, you run Mozgov,Lebron, Miller, Smith, & Shumpert. Run post plays back and forth to get the calls going early, keep throwing crowd out and kill the rythym. Kerr is trying to get cute with that lineup. Let Moz stick with green on the permieter. If it's a layup by him or any other player so be it.

 

[Gus Zing]

Normally I would be pissed beyond belief. My anger has led me to make some dumb comments this thread so forgive me.

I'll say this though.

If you told me after Kyrie broke his kneecap that we'd be 2-2 with a couple days rest going into Oakland/game 5.

I'd take it.

Remember the Warriors are the ones supposed to win this. The pressure is on them in game 5. FIND A WAY. Then I'd take my chances with LeBron in a closeout game in Cleveland. I'd think the refs would actually be on our side for once as well.


Game 5. Find a way. JR and Shump get up more shots in practice. LeBron and Delly rest ,rest, rest. Tristan...I love your effort. But one of these game we're going to need a 20 point game from you. Mozgov has clearly been our 2nd best player. Keep it up big guy.

Blatt recognize your team's energy level. If guys are gassed take chances. Finals can be weird. Sometimes its a guy off the bench who rarely plays that can change the outlook of the series. Look at what happened when David Lee started playing.

Believe Cavs fans.

When Kyrie's knee was snapped.......I'd be very happy to know we're going to a game 5 in Oakland tied. When Kevin Love's arm was ripped out of its socket I would be have been very happy to just be in the finals.


We're here. So believe and dont get down. Believing is whats got this team here so far.

I think I speak for all negative fans when I say I'm just not ready for another Cleveland sports letdown. Series isn't over, but they're back into a hole - even if it is tied. To take two out of three, at least one on the road, in the condition they're in seems like a tall task.

Just don't feel good about them at all right. Hope I am proven wrong!

 

[bigfoot5415]

Mike Miller or JR Smith will win the game on Sunday.

Also would like to see Cavs attack Curry in the PnR. Didn't see it this game.
