    Yeah, Kyrie brought his game with him and then some. I think the Bogut loss on top of no Green definitely helped. He was on fire but they got a ton o foffensive boards too, and were definitely attacking the lane harder.

    With that said, their confidence should remain sky high, going home after this performance. Bogut still out... with that injury, Green has to be feeling a bit worse about putting his team in a position to lose this thing.

    But as someone else said, this (specifically LBJ being THAT hot with the jumper) isn't sustainable. James needs to keep that energy and keep driving like he did... take the shots when they back off, but don't fall in love with the jumper like he's done in the past a game after having a good shooting game. That two man iso ball is just not a recipe for success. BUT if James/Irving can drop 70+ in two more games, it will be hard to beat the Cavs.

    I guess this is okay since you didn't actually quote him?

      It's possible but he's tiny (relatively speaking) so he's always going to be hurting this time of year. Honestly, I think the real problem (if we're calling it a problem) is that at his size, with his main skill being jumpers, it's easier to put together a defensive gameplan to keep him from getting good comfortable looks. However, putting that much focus on him makes it easier for others to get good opportunities.

      It's the correct strategy when you're playing the MVP, but it's also had mixed results (GS is still winning 3-2). But it'd be a mistake to think that if Curry were to miss a game, it wouldn't have a drastic negative effect on the rest of the team out there, when the Cavs can put there defensive focus more on everyone else.

        Warriors missed 15 open 3's last night. Dang man.

        I thought Klay played Kyrie p well alot of his shots were well contested he made them it happens.

        and regarding the Steph is getting a pass. We needs to stop wanting the Lebron treatment for every susperstar it should be more like Kevin Durant's treatment.

              Aside from all of the silly greatest ever comparisons because ALL of those people have shut up, it's not sustainable to keep hitting 30 foot jumpers in players faces all year long, including the playoffs.

              I have noticed all of the "we've never seen this before" talk has ceased.

              Curry needs to realize what other parts of the game he can use to cause similar havoc than going for the home run 3 when he's being attacked by the defense.

              Either way, he definitely doesn't look as bouncy as the regular season naturally. The Greats always found a way though.

                      He's not even trying to penetrate, especially switched on by big men. He beat Love once for a step-back 3 but didn't try to look for more mismatches.

                      In the first half, he was looking more to defer to Klay.

                      Maybe he's dreading running along the baseline where he's getting bumped and grabbed a lot.

                          Ummm salty is synonymous with being upset so not sure what you're talking about. You think they weren't upset when they were leaving the arena chanting that?

                              Anyway, kinda lowkey felt while all of the praise was going on that I was watching 3 point chucking vs isoball.

                              I've seen some great finals games in my life, but that overall didn't seem to be one of the top to me.

                              If that's the pinnacle of the nba right there then smh.

                                Shouldn't take the threat of Curry getting 'picked on' to come to this conclusion tbh. It's a silly way to analyze players...regardless of who it is....
