I think maybe Kerr should consider doubling LeBron once in a while. I've never seen a player get so many isolation opportunities. Not saying all the time, but maybe force someone else to make a play other than LeBron. He either forces up some kind of shot or dishes it to Dirty D for a three or some ridiculous shot to fall in. 60 of their 96 points points tonight...
It's time to double Lebron early in the possession ... to speed up Cavs offensive flow and prevent Cavs players from resting on offense . Cavs can play this type of D because no one besides Lebron is spending energy on O ... Warriors need to force a game with more possessions , more tempo ... this is when Warriors depth and talent is taking over ...
It's pretty simple though. Blatt out-coaches Kerr and it's not even close. And to think the former was offered to be the latter assistant over the summer. Should have been the other way around.
David Blatt destroys Kerr. I said it at the start of the season. He is the best coach in the NBA after POP. its amazing how similiar the sitatuion was when he coached Maccabi Tel Aviv to the european championship last year. injuries, not alot of talent, hugh defence and isolation plays, traps, outcoaching the other big teams. He is just brilliant. and if you're asking from where Delli came from, the sourch is David Blatt. he built him to be the player he is today. He destroyed the Bulls game, he made the Hawks look like a lottory team, and he does the same now to Curry and the warriors. Even if the Warriors wins it in 6-7, bravo to him.
The Warriors have to win the next game. If they do that, I think their talent and depth will prevail. If not, they are in serious trouble, because they got out-coached (which is not their fault) and out-hustled (which absolutely is). They better wake up ASAP.
Next game is like a game 7 for GSW, you lose and you're out. Cavs are no Clippers and Bron is no cp3.
Will Kerr finally make an adjustment? I have seen none other than inserting David Lee if you want to count that.
It took threes games for Kerr to realize he had to double Z-bo and Gasol ... I'm usually not a fan of doubling Lebron but Warriors main ability on D has been to help and recover all season long ... not 1 on 1 D ... Warriors will lose this series if they keep allowing Lebron to control the tempo of the game by running the clock down to 5-6 seconds left on lots of possessions ...
One of thing that cost them games is making cheap fouls after cle players missed their shot...it happend at least 10 times that in 3 games,thqt either green or bogut would make stupid foul and gave them another chance...which they would usualy convert...it is such momentum kill...they need to rebound much better...and box out other plqyers...
Warriors came back and looked 100 times better with Bogut on the bench. He shouldn't play more than 20 minutes a game. Liability. The Warriors aren't done. Curry got going and that should continue. The team feeds off him. Just need to match Clevelands intensity and hope the refs open their eyes.
Warriors are looking a bit scared & tentative in their offense & the man on man defense isn't working either. They need to toughen up & play with more pace.. My concern is that they just might be too young & not ready for this type of pressure yet.. Cavs are pushing them around. ** LeBron's slide tackle on Curry towards the end was a blatant non call. Not blaming the refs at all, but I'm not really sure how that much contact can go unnoticed.
http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/releases/status-dellavedova-150610 Dellavedova got treatment for his severe cramping.
Harrison Barnes gave them quite literally NOTHING last night. He laid a big goose egg on offense - ZERO points - 0 for 8 shooting. On D he just got abused by Lebronze. If he is going to be in the game I absolutely agree that they have to double Lebronze because Barnes is doing nothing to stop him. Either that or just keep Iggy on him all game long like JSM said.
Seriously though... Dubs are a couple inches away on that Shumpert put back at the end of Game 1 from being down 3-0 & getting swept.
Harrison needs to have a very short leash next game. I probably would play Iggy a lot more and get him going to the basket and facilitating a little more while moving Curry off the ball. I think we need to see Livingston for extended periods of time, too; along with D. Lee.
