    Agreed, to me it was a matter of Kyrie and Mozgov not being on the same page for a split second - look at where Kyrie is when Mozgov starts to run towards the top of the key. Mozgov is coming up for a high PnR but Kyrie doesn't see it and decides to attack on his own which led to the mess in the paint.

    As the old saying goes, half of illegal screens are the fault of the ball handler, not the screener.

      This made me chuckle.

      JR was awful in games 1 and 2...had a good game offensively in game 3...but I think he should be commended for his off ball defense on Klay...same with Korver earlier in three playoffs...

        Disappointed that the biggest section wasn't about offering the pipe.

          I love when Curry has a bad game, the media and his fans start making every excuses under the sun for him.

          When it's LeBron he gets ripped to pieces, he's not clutch he's passive doesn't care blah blah.

            There's never any winning for these guys. Well... I guess the only way they can win in the eyes of the media and critics is if they play near-perfect basketball while their squad rolls through the championship round. But then again, at that point, people would just criticize the opposition ("Well of course they won handily, their opponent was weak").

            If the Warriors end up winning with Curry averaging 16 points per game in the finals, you better believe there's going to be a significant contingent finding plenty of ways to criticize and lambast Curry, even as he's rolling through his team's second championship parade in a row.

            In the meantime, one thing that may help you from going crazy: stop watching ESPN and listening to talk radio (if you already do neither, you're ahead of the game). It's a little easier to avoid a lot of the ridiculous stuff when those two aspects are removed.

              Everyone is saying he was awful last night dunno how much more you want. The Lebron got unfairly criticized so we should do it to x... Is so dumb.

                Can't be too surprised by the outcome last night. You knew the Cavs were going to come out swinging and were gonna be fueled by that crowd being down 0-2.

                Game 4 is gonna be very intriguing. If Golden State can get back to Oracle up 3-1, I think this is over in 5. Cleveland is gonna still be riding off this momentum though I think and they'll come out firing again. Warriors are going to have to withstand that opening barrage and step up the defensive effort and certainly clean up the turnovers and poor decision making.

                  When people want to claim Curry is better then Lebron ever was, better then 95% of the players to play in the NBA, he deserves to get laid out like Lebron does when he fails, you can't dog one and prop up the other.

                  And yeah they're saying he did bad, but they're saying he must be hurt the only reason why he could ever play bad.

                    Very true.

                    But it'll also get drowned out by the "LOLOLOL TWO RINGS CANT HEAR YOU" crowd though.

                    Very, very, very, very, very, true.

                          And that means you have to listen to them or put any weight into their comments or statements? Lol

                          Learn how to filter the idiots out or do what VDusen says and avoid it altogether if you know all you're going to hear is stupidity. It's not hard.

                            No but why complain about ridiculous things said by ridiculous people? That's what they do.

                            But the reason the spotlight is so bright on LeBron is because he's repeatedly turned the switch to 100. I've been thinking about this a lot, and I don't hate LeBron, but I don't think I've ever seen an athlete separate themselves from the pack so much, and im a fan of NY Sports. It's almost A-Rod like, where he just says stuff so arrogant that you want him to fail. Just in his press conference the way he says stuff or I guess it comes off is sketchy. "Im just trying to lead these guys to victory" is one of them, I understand what he means but it's just strange for an athlete to elevate THEM SELF in that way IMO. Seems like even mega stars like Jeter wanted to be a part of the club house, LeBron makes it very clear he's running things and everything goes through him. It's just a weird situation im not sure I've seen anything like it, he brings it all on himself. If Steph drops 60 you're gonna hear "my teammates put me in good places", "God must've been looking out for me", "It's just the result of hard work and belief" but with LeBron he'd say "Well I looked around at my guys and saw they were looking for a leader" or something like that.

                            I dunno, im definitely rambling, but the king doesn't need to tell everyone he's the king and show them the crown, he just ****ing rules. LeBron comes off as insecure in a way (like A-Rod) where he wants to be talked about all the time and he gets it, good or bad.

                              So when there's mountains of excuses made for LeBron no problem.

                              Someone is apparently making excuses for Steph, big problem. Funny how that works.

                                Am I crazy to think Cleveland's usage of Kevin Love is a bigger issue than his ability? Let some tell it and that man is a straight up scrub.
