Iggy just kept coming back to set the screen until once his man wasn't able to stay with him off the screen. They switch like idiots, that doesn't help. LeBron can't stop Durant one on one, and I never got the vibe he felt he needed to. Either he's exhausted or he's mentally checked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were several possessions near the end of the game where they tried not to switch and they kept just re-setting the pick until the person setting the pick got free.

Mr. Sinister Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) I think reality has finally set in. They have no shot. They never had a shot. They never will have a shot. GS is just toying with them. One or two of them have to play like ass for Cleveland to have even a glimmer of hope Edited June 7, 2018 by Mr. Sinister 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound like you are saying that's not realistic, but trying and other people scoring I'll take if splash bros aren't splashing. Durant just had his playoff career high, and it looks like there's absolutely nothing LeBron could do about it. Nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His team was stacked. They won 55 games without him and then added Jordan and the next year Rodman The 94-95 team in which Jordan came back at the end was 8 wins worse than the prior year and finished the regular season with 47 wins.

Voice_of_Reason Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 The only reason we can’t immrdi pencil in a re-re-re-re-rematch is because we don’t know where Lebron will play. 99% chance it’s in the east do he won’t have to go through GS to get to the finals. Wherever he lands, it’s likely them vs. GS again next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the fence on how they dealt with Curry early in his career, nothing compared to The Process, not going to go there with them. Adding Kerr was awesome, solid, championship level decision right there. If THAT team was still here winning rings, fine, kudos. But they added an MVP to a 73 win team. That is not 15 unlikely things happening in a row, that is one single unacceptable event and cannot be allowed to happen again. 6 minutes ago, PeterMP said: At the end of the game, they had Lebron guard KD on several straight possessions.

What does that have to do with KD having 43 points (which is specifically what I'm talking about)? Where was LeBron on KD's 3 that basically ended that game?

Where was LeBron on KD's 3 that basically ended that game? KD had 43 points because they switched the picks and KD made tough shots, but if they don't switch the pick, then somebody else just gets even easier baskets. KD hit a lot of hard shots (which he's going to do a lot because he's a great basketball player), but your other option ends up being things like Iggy dunks and open 3's for their shooters if you don't switch the pick. GS wants to play a ball movement game. They aren't as good as a team when you force them into playing iso basketball, and as a team, you actually have a better chance of winning the game. (And that's what Jackson and JVG don't seem to understand, and it was funny how they complained about how the Cavs switched the pick the whole game, and then when with the game on the line, they didn't and GS turned into easy baskets and they were quite. Now, where I will agree with JVG and Jackson is that they have to be smarter and certainly with some lineups, you have to help more on KD when he gets (near) the paint. When he drives anybody that isn't guarding a shooter needs to collapse. But realistically, if you can force GS into playing iso basketball and force KD to take tough shots and control everybody else, that's the best you can hope for. And that's what the Cavs did tonight. The Cavs have played 2 good games. Tonight, KD made tough shots. In game 1 he didn't and the Cavs should have won.)
