Due to the Cavs lack of playmakers, they were forced to play Bran iso ball...the results were utterly disastrous from an offensive standpoint. Make no mistake, they won those 2 games in spite of their putrid offense. The Cavs shot like 33% in game 2 for ****'s sake. The also stifled the Warriors offense in game 3. GS finally got hot in the 4th quarter, but the defensive work the Cavs did through the first 3 quarters was enough to hang on and win.
It was basically Iguodala vs Lebron (1-on-1) for most of the Cavs possessions. Iguodala won most of the time. People are gonna jump down my throat for bringing up Kobe, but I do believe this series would have been more favorable for him, due to him being a superior iso scorer imo. Doesn't necessarily mean he's a better player or that the Cavs would've won with Kobe instead of Bran, but this type of series is more suited to his strengths.
