It's all effort.By sunday? Negative.
Kyrie has been in the league for 4 season and Curry has been in the league for 6. But Curry has started to learn defense by season 4. Irving still hasn't learned.
No way he'll learn by Sunday
Compare Delly and Kyrie.
Kyrie is the better athlete with the lateral quickness and all that
But Delly never gives up
That's why Delly will always be better at defending until Kyrie actually gives a damn
I haven't played double dribble since I was kid
That's the same exact thing I think every time I see Tyrone Lue
This game showed that the Cavs can't bother the Warriors the way OKC did, and I'm not sure what personnel moves or strategy changes are out there for the Cavs to make to keep this from potentially going beyond 5 games. If Cavs continue to go small and try to match the Warriors that way, this series is going to be over quickly. I don't know if they will do it, but the Cavs are much better off mucking up the game the way they did last year if they want to make this more interesting and have a chance, in order to get the Warriors out of their comfort zone.
It's just one game, but Curry and Thompson had nothing going today, yet the Warriors were able to win relatively comfortably. As a Warriors fan it's looking good.
Kyrie played fine.
They only lost 15? By the B team and a 20 point on 27 shots performance by the Splash Bros?
It's over

I'm a Warriors fan too... Not sure what adjustments the Cavs will make. But they focused too much on stopping Curry and Klay and forgot to defend the rest.. I assume Cavs plays us more straight up next time, and focus more on shutting down the role players. That's what OKC did really well, they switched every screens. Game 2 will be a bigger game for both teams. Cavs are not out of it yet.
Agreed - I see them focusing more on defending Livingston, etc. However, that means that Curry and Thompson will get better looks as a result. Cavs definitely aren't out of it yet, and they'll always have a chance with Lebron on their team. OKC had players that can disrupt what the Warriors do on offense (Durant, Roberson, Adams)...I just don't know what the Cavs can do to replicate that.
I wouldn't call this fine, especially combined with his poor defense.

He had the full Hot Sauce overdribbling act going tonight. We all know he can't guard anyone, but he's gotta at least be better on O.
Curry is also surrounded by a lot of defensive specialist which makes it a little easier to play defense... Been watching the game for a long time. Warriors is the most complete team I have ever seen since the Showtime Lakers.
Kyrie has Shumpert, LeBron and Thompson who are considered "above average" defenders. You're going to tell me that he doesn't have teammates to lean on?
Again, people love to make excuses for the Cavs. Yeah, defense is all about effort and hustle. But at some point we need to call a spade a spade.

Just saw the box score. I can totally see the Warriors doing this again. Klay had 9 points and Livingston had 20. You can realistically swap those two in another game and they can score 100+ again. Iggy had 12 and Barbosa had 11. Guys like Ezeli and Speights could easily do the same. That just shows how deep the Warriors are.
Irving had 12 FTA while the entire Warriors team had 10. Game could've gotten REALLY ugly if GS had some call go their way.
I know this is game 1, but we can't act surprised how it played out. Most people predicted this would happen. While some people who had Clev winning this series just picked em just because :lol
Anyone that thinks lebron passed this ball because curry played great defense on this possession... Smh
NM, not even worth it.
We're fine.
