2017 NBA FINALS THREAD. PART III

[captaintuxable]

Best part of that oop was him dunking on TKards..but to even sit and try to debate if it was a better play than MJ switching hands mid-flight? I mean, he didn't even have to switch to the left but it was clearly nicer than Bron's oop. His dunks on Javale and Iggy were better plays than his oop. We gotta do better.

If GSW wins tonight, they'll win the series
If Cavs lose tonight, theres no way they come back and win it all

Am I doing it right?

 

[ill steelo]

Part me of hopes GSW doesn't win tonight so people can finally look at Steve Kerr funny but they will probably smack the Cavs.


But like I said when Kerr got hurt Mike Brown was going to coach better than him and for my money he has.

Yeah Kerr really doesnt make adjustments and the adjustments they do make are bad.  For whatever reason the Warriors have stopped doubling Kyrie on screens after game 2 and he has absolutely torched the Warriors because of it.  Make Tristan Kardashian beat you on the roll.  Stop letting Kyrie just stay up top and ISO all game long, you are getting crushed doing that.  Kyrie was a ghost in the first two games when they were doing this but inexplicably went away from it.

Issue with that is somebody from the corners has to rotate to Tristan. So then the corner is open. If Tristan sets a good screen the trap will develop slowly, and Kyrie can just hold on to the ball a bit longer and hit the open shooter instead of Tristan on the roll.

This is from BigJ's post a little earlier. See what Bron did here:

You see JR isn't in the corner on the turnover, Bron makes the adjustment.

 

[freeze]

saw a kobe fan made 30 for 30 last night.


i firmly believe kobe was a better dunker and specifically, in-game dunker, than bron. dude caught so many bodies throughout his tenure. He was jumper through people.

 

[lamekilla]

Welp I'm shook

 

[danger style]

i think the key for the warriors tonight is that they need to score more points than the cavaliers. Only then can they win the game and the series in 5

I see what you are saying, I'd just rather JR smith beat me or tristan on the roll than let Kyrie have his way running ISOs all day long.

And I'm by no means saying do it with Lebron. He is way too good of a passer.  If you make Kyrie beat you with passing I think you have a pretty good chance.

Floor seats are $70k a seat tonight. Yikes

 

[purpnyellow]

They key is shutting down kyrie I think they need to get a switch with him on draymond or kd in the post

 

[vidiviciun]

idk, but i'm scooping at least 3 shirts. I get the championship gear every year, but its always more fun when its a team i like lol. the cavs stuff last year was fly though. that grey shirt with the burgundy and gold.

Yeah, gonna grab the hat and shirt for sure tonight. DUBS in 5!

No doubt. You definitely want JR shooting instead of Bron or Kyrie, but I don't think an open corner 3 from him is the shot you concede. You gotta hope Tristan sets a lazy pick so you can quickly and aggressively trap, making that corner pass difficult & forcing him to hit Tristan on the roll.

Regardless, the Cavs will have a much tougher time on the other end of the floor

If they prevent the Cavs from outscoring them, they'll win the game

 

[sportzfan24]

KD: "no, no, seriously, LeBron. the housing in the bay area is affordable. you'll love playing with us next season."

LeBron: "but what will NT say?"

Draymond: "man, **** NT."

lol!! probably not far off

This is the game plan right here. Lol!

Somebody at ESPN must have said something to Rasheed. Between the jump and being on sports center he has gotten a trim/tape and a new wardrobe.

Sheed's a clown, but no dummy. Ex NBA players need checks too.

so what you are saying is that the defense has to hold them to less points? defense wins championships

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Key for the cavs is having a higher number of points in both halves.
