The Official NBA Finals Thread: Game 7 - Cleveland Cavaliers are your 2016 NBA Champions

Warriors can't let up, needs to be 3-0

 

[$tacy]

The sweep is coming.

A rare time we agree....

 

[Hank Scorpio]

That team is going to score 50 points, all of which are coming from Irving and Bron. 

Possibly, but they would also slow the game down and make it ugly.

You need to make the game ugly and keep the score low if you want to win against GS.

Easier said than done, but even if they hold the Warriors to 90 which would be a hellofva feat, it wont matter if they keep putting up 70.

hank famb u keep saying cavs need to go big but the roster u put out is smaller lol

Not to mention the fact that Lebron got murked by Green in Game 3 due to Lebron's lazy defense.

 

[youngwolf]

A lot of it falls on lebron honestly. His broke as jumper makes the calfs easy as hell to guard, especially since they have to put the ball in his hands to run the offense since Kyrie can't. Also doesn't help that jr possibly hurt himself diving on the floor in game one and has been a non factor.

If this was Miami lebron the cavs could at least win a game. But dude aint got the sauce no more.

idk man. I'd like to think miami was his peak and that he'd have a chance. But remember, Miami bron struggled with kawhi. Dubs have 2 Kawhi's in iggy and dray. And they beat the hell out of him every time he touches the rock.

What made Miami Lebron good was that all he had to do was focus on basketball and nothing else. It was DWaste's team. He was the leader, the voice, and the tone setter.

Cleveland is different. Without a guy like DWaste there, Lebron is forced to be the leader, which he is terrible at. It also doesn't help that the majority of his teammates don't respect him.

Also helped he had a jumpshot.

Also helped he had a jumpshot.

And it appeared that he had more than one post move

You're not account for role players putting up some points. Cavs are home and role players will player better. Cavs can score 85-90 points and still win.

Yeah, I know I keep saying the Cavs need to go big, but I just can't imagine putting in Frye at the PF when the Cavs desperately need offensive artillery off the bench.

Not to mention the fact that Lebron got murked by Green in Game 3 due to Lebron's lazy defense.

Very true, but he has a better shot against Green out in the perimeter, especially they look for screens giving him a mismatch.

His teammates don't respect him? Since when?

 

[friscostylez]

how are they gonna go big then?

 

[shotsrangout]

 

This.  That and who the hell are they going to play of PF now?  Frye?

Well, now that I think about it. This might be a blessing in da skys for Clev.

Frye's been hitting his 3's at an astronomical clip and his perimeter defense is somewhat better than Love's. They do lose the rebounding and post play from Love though.

Cavs NEED to go big.

go big with what? the corpse of mosgov? 

 

[pmatic]

@Rachel__Nichols Interested to see what Ty Lue does. Richard Jefferson's been working out with the first team during the parts of practice open to the media.

Looks like RJ is starting in Love's place.

 

[a-friend]

Delly

Kyrie

JR

Lebron

Mozgov

This is who needs to start w/ TT readily available if Moz can't get it going

 

[junglejim]

Looks like RJ is starting in Love's place.

That makes more sense than anything else posted in here.  He has actually been playing solid defense and is aggressive attacking the hoop.

Then again, roids will do that for you

 

[art vandelay]

During the second beating did any of y'all catch the RJ dunk where it looked like he barely had any legs left to flush it cleanly? Yeah, go ahead, start him.

 

[junglejim]

And why to people keep throwing Mozgov in there?  The dude couldn't even run with the Warriors third unit during game 2 without getting a bunch of fouls.  That guy is washed as hell.

 

[8tothe24]

Delly
Kyrie
JR
Lebron
Mozgov

So everyone cried last year LeBronze didn't have enough help and they would've won if they had Kyrie and Love... Now those two are trash, he doesn't have enough help and and they want the team from last year.

These Cavs are done!

 

[friscostylez]

what's RJ response gonna be when he starts and scores only 8 pts?

 

[a-friend]

You know what is really funny.

CAVS sure could use Varejao for this series, and he's on the other team.

GM Lebron

 

[junglejim]

That he scored more than all of the other Cavs starters not named lebron

 

[rillo561]

Still got a feeling the cavs take it tonight. I don't know why, but I do.

Oh, they are going to take something alright but it aint this game.

 

[triple white]

Love being out is borderline addition by subtraction. 

Doesn't matter either way.

 

[MVP]

Cavs in for another sub 80 point night. :x
