    Default Are the Cavs trying to deny Curry a Finals MVP?

    We've seen it all series long, they've trapped him on every pick and roll, they're completely selling out to run him off the three point line, they are grabbing and hacking him off the ball. Curry is obviously making the right basketball plays by finding the open man and being a decoy, but this seems personal. They are putting more effort in stopping Curry than actually winning. Letting guys like Livingston, Barbosa, Draymond, Iggy, and even Klay get anything they want. With Lebron essentially being the coach of the team, with his well known bitterness/vendetta towards Curry, I absolutely wouldn't put this past him.

    He's already surpassed Bran, regardless. Now and all time.

    Anyone with two eyes can see they're doubling him hard and forcing him to make the pass, but not the assist pass...the hockey assist pass.

    They are trying anything they can to keep him from succeeding, even if it means losing the series.

    So now trying too hard to stop him is being used as an excuse for Curry?

    Lebron's obsession with Curry is worrying. Dude hates that man with a passion. I'd almost be concerned for his well being if the Warriors go on to win Game 6 and Curry has a big game (securing FMVP).

    It's the fact that they're doing it to their overall detriment. Lebron cares more about beating Curry than beating the Warriors. In Games 1 and 2, they were massacred by his supporting cast as a result of their attention to Curry.

    Needed 40+ on 70% shooting from their two stars to get it done. Will never happen again.

    Since games 1 and 2, they've won 2 of the next 3, so either they've made some adjustments since then, or their defensive plan is starting to work.

    Also, Curry was the unanimous MVP, wouldn't you expect the opposing team to give him the most attention? The Cavs double teaming him and trying to trap him up isn't something they just randomly came up with, many other teams have tried doing the same thing.

    Make the others beat you. Curry is Randy Moss. You take him out early and he will make mistakes and become less engaged.

    run him off the 3 point line because he likes to bounce back to the 3 point line every play.

    Game 5 pretty much doesn't count. No Draymond, and it took historic performances from both of the Cavs stars to pull away late in the 4th. Difference in Game 3 was the supporting cast played bad. Which is expected for a bunch of role players on the road after going up 2-0 in a series. The Warriors have been the better team and are gonna win the title, but you gotta wonder if it could've been different in Cleveland at least paid some attention to the other guys on the Warriors. Instead of trying to stop Curry at all costs.
