Except LeBron would be holding his head and writhing on the ground with a little bit more intensity. This kid's flop is not in the LeBron, Chris Paul league.
I give him credit for one thing, not screwing it up. Letting the players do their thing. They haven't really been challenged yet aside from the game where Leonard went down. Mike Brown is so bad as a head coach I fear that if Kerr doesn't come back for the late game situations when the game is close or on the line against the Cavs, the Warriors are in trouble. Drawing up a play or helping your team stay together in those situations is something that separates the winning coaches from the losing ones. That's something Luke appeared very good at during his stint with GS during their win streak. A few of those games they almost lost, but he kept them cool. So yeah, if Potato Head is coaching these finals, I'm concerned for the Warriors. I picture him crapping his pants if LeBron goes on a tear.
C Bags playing really well to start game 4, but the refs aren't having it, getting Horford and Crowder in foul trouble early on BS calls.
LeBron has 4 fouls in the first half and he needs a little sod on the fairway. C Bags are up crazy enough, but no way they hold onto this lead and win this game.
How come in big games it's always LeBron's teammates stepping up and he gets all the credit for it? I saw on social media that Kyrie is going off. For some reason I think these two close games will work in the Cav's favor come time to face the Warriors. They haven't faced any adversity and neither has the Warriors.
I wouldn't go that far. Both of these teams know what the other is all about, they've played 13 Finals games vs eachother the last 2 seasons. I honestly don't think either team has really had to turn it on yet and they both know that. If anything the one Cleveland loss and being down at the half here was manufactured adversity on their part out of boredom. I expect the Finals to be great, because these are the only 2 great teams in the NBA, sad as that is. Go Warriors.
I mean, no joke, it's true. What he's done with this run of finals is remarkable, but he's positioned himself twice to keep this up. He's been incredibly smart about it. He couldn't get it done in Cleveland so he went and joined Wade who had been there and gotten it done before, and brought Bosh who was a real gamer. Then Wade got old and he bolted back "home" because he saw how good Irving was going to be and that they had an incredible trade asset in Wiggins and could get another star of his choosing. After Shaq, Kobe never played with another player that could carry the team when he went to the bench like Irving can. LeBron is truly "lucky", or crafty.
It's because they play in the East and the East is garbage. They're great, but so are the Warriors, the floor will not be mopped with anyone, it will go 6 or 7 barring major injury.
Kyrie has been finding his offense for the latest 3 games , Cavs will need this if they want to beat GS
I agree. Their entire team has found their rhythm, I don't think the Warriors can match that. Plus Klay has been kind of off lately, that's not good for the Warriors. Plus the Cavs are more athletic and fast. I would love nothing more than to see the Cavs lose too, but I say Cavs in 5 or 6.
Cavs lack of off ball D awaraness is going to hurt them against GS . I'm not convinced the Cavs are as good as they were last season , offensively sure but defense is still a problem
