I don't know if it was the Cavs playing defense better or what - but I think this was key- Steph had a very bad series.
Steph missed shots, OKC gave Cle the blueprint for slowing down their offence and Lebron and Kyrie were unstoppable. If you watched this series it was that simple. One thing about Lue was he was cool (which funny enough he credits Phil Jackson's influence). Aside from that this series simple came down to which team played better.
Curry is a great player and I'm not going to tell him to change, but!
Seriously, when your shot is not falling, at some point, you need points and you need to attack the basket and make refs give you FTs and get in closer and score 2's.
I agree. Also that behind the back pass that was a turnover has no place being thrown in the second half of a game 7 for the title.
I commented on that pass in the playoff thread...arguably the most ill-advised and poorly executed pass I've ever seen in a playoff game, and even if completed it was not going to help develop the play any differently than a simple bounce pass.It is the kind of pass you might make if you were up by 30 late in the 3rd quarter...and after causing the turnover the coach would have called a time out and taken the offending player out of the game.
What was he thinking?
This just came up on my twitter.
GS seemed to think they were invisible to a certain degree, and lets not forget about there bench, they flat out vanished in the last 3 games.
Livingston, (who owned game one) was a complete non factor.
