So will Mozgov be the answer to stop GSW? Cleveland seems to have been saving him just for this moment

 

[pmatic]

^^^ Good luck with TT. He got his money, he doesn't have to play d anymore.


Or be good.

can someone give me a scouting report on TT's defense? from what i recall, he's athletic, pretty mobile, athletic, lengthy, but doesn't really defend as well as one may assume.

He's pretty good switching out on guards along the perimeter. But Curry is going to light him up nonetheless.

That's usually a good strategy.  Take a big guy who already has a hard time getting up and down the court, don't play him for two months, then play him 40 minutes a night.  I truly hope that the Cavs do this.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

How can Mozgov be the key to stop anything?

Ill legit baffled

 

[broncos19dm]

Can't wait for this series

Nah.

Mozgov still hasn't recovered from the surgery he had in the offseason. 

He seriously regressed this year.

Cavs in 6

 

[Maximus Meridius]

My man Lebron shooting 63% from FT in the playoffs.

 

[earldagoat]

I got Dubs in six, but it'd be nice to see Cavs fans remove those basset hound expressions from their faces if Bron does indeed win one for the Land.

 

[moneylicious]

What happens if Lebby gets swept? Brakes getting taken off the slander bus?

 

[flyerthandelta]

Mannnn Bron aint getting swept let that non sense talk go bruh you willin

 

[the collector]

I'd like to see LeBron win it. I'm not a Bron hater. Besides It would be nice to finally see Cleveland win a pro sports championship. Oh and East > West.

That's the biggest issue for the Cavs, man.

Cleveland does NOT have the same length and speed as the Thunder. They won't be able to switch everything on defense and have their bigs out on an island on the perimeter guarding GS backcourt. It's complete suicide for the Cavs.

Kyrie, JR, Shump, Love, and Jefferson will have to play the defense of their lives. They'll have to stick their men and not be allowed to be screened. There needs to be pristine communication and give a consorted effort. Those players have never shown sign of this in the past, and they won't learn how to do it overnight or by Thursday night.

These games will be close, but the Cavs don't enough defensive intensity to do this. Not unless you got guys like Delly and Thompson showing up on both ends.

The only person on that list whom will consistently fight through those moving screens is shump.

JR has been giving great effort but he hasn't faced anyone near this level of a complete game. Klay is amazing at baiting guys into cheating then hitting that back cut. Underrated first step.

Has LeBron chosen or been needed to play a full game of defense? He's does so much offensively, I think we've seen the last of the two way dominant LeBron.

Take it from a life long Knicks fan--Shump is an overrated defender and comes up short in the big moments.
