OT: NBA Finals

[phlop87]

Besides the 4th quarter in the past game I don't think Curry has played or shot well since he crashed to the floor against the Rockets. Wonder if that is playing into his bad shooting?

Is the trade- off of better defense instead of better offense worth it? Probably depends if they won or not. What really hurts is the hit on depth. Cleveland is up 2-1 with a seven man rotation. A 9 man rotation would have helped in a game 6 or 7

Offense wins games...we all know the rest.

I'm all in on Lebron and the Cavs (and I'm a big time Celtics fan). Extremely impressed with the heart and tenacity this team is playing with right now; almost impossible not to root for them unless you are a GS fan.

Curry is doing things that you get away with in the regular season, but not at the heightened level of the NBA finals.

That behind the back pass turnover to no one was one of the worst, lazy plays I have ever seen an MVP make, much less in the 4th quarter of the championship series.

His antics of playing to the crowd after hitting threes seems pretty bush. If I am Steve Kerr, I am having a very direct talk with that kid. Be more invested both mentally and physically or they are losing.

One thing I noticed right away in the first game- the Cavs are much stronger and physical. It was looking like men vs boys at points last game.

All this with castaways and 2 all stars out. I have never been a massive Lebron fan, but he is really showing something. If they win, you have to say he will have had the best finals ever. Big statement, and he is getting some help where guys can, but he is carrying some liabilities too, like JR Smith.

I haven't been this excited for an NBA playoff game since the Lakers were in the finals last.

Huh what??? Cleveland is setting the tempo and winning because of defense. And it's not even close! Are you even watching these games? 3 games and no team has scored a 100 in regulation.

Joey Crawford back doing his thing - see the aforementioned farce of G7 in 2010.

Not familiar with the rest of the saying, huh?`

Game was written off when I saw Crawford. Crawford, Higgy, and Burr - all-timers.

Lets not start bashing Curry just yet. Since his poor game 2 performance he is 11 for 20 from 3 point range and has played solid defense throughout the series.
