The myth of cavs super D must end

[Mr. Jabbar]

GS is missing WIDE open looks, WIDE. they're rotating the ball "ok" for most parts and getting the looks. watch some of the stuff barnes, green, curry, klay are missing, pathetic

The sad part is that you hate lebron so much you can't even enjoy basketball.

LeBron > Kobe

Cleveland's "super defense" has shut down Chicago, Atlanra, and Golden State so far.

Not to say they aren't missing open looks, because they are, but it is primarily because of the front court of Lbj, Tt, and Mozgov. No second chances are allowed and lots of shots are deflected/redirected when 2or more of them are playing.

Dellavedova plays great 1on1 defense without fouling also.

Lebron > Kobe

sounds like youre making excuses when cavs pull off the greatest upset in NBA history

not to mention this makes lebron the goat if he wins

BB IQ = that of a stone confirmed.

Show me all the wide open looks Steph got yesterday.

[Trollsmasher]

The Cavs are giving those open looks to players that won't take advantage of them

Iggy and Shaun Livingston get plenty of WIIDE open looks

Occasionally Draymond.

That's the point. Spend a little time looking at some of the replays of the game.

Blatt and company's gameplan has been to lock down Steph and Klay to the point that they pass to Green or Iguodala, daring them to shoot. And it's worked.

@treykerby
At practices in Oakland, I saw Draymond Green take about 100 threes and make maybe 25 of them.

How many times have you seen Green brick an open 3? His confidence in his 3-point shot is probably dropping more and more, and if Steph keeps kicking it out to him and Iguodala, who's a 35% 3-point shooter for his career; I'd be just fine with it if I were the Cavs. Especially if it means limiting Steph and Klay.

Discrediting the Cavs D in this series is laughable when they are arguably doing a better job of keep themselves in the game defensively than Memphis did somehow.

Just because you're wide open sometimes doesn't mean the defense isn't playing good. Delly and other players getting into the body of Curry, Thompson, etc, and fighting over screens. They're making the Warriors catch and take shots out of rhythm even when they are open.

The Cavaliers game plan is to have whoever is defending Curry to never leave him, even on help defense. So far it's worked trying to make other players like Green, Iggy and Barnes who was invisible last game beat you.

gs has gotten plenty of good looks .. got hit those .. if they do, they will win .. they're just not hitting them right now .. hopefully for them, curry's last minute surge continues onto game 4
