It's a NBA Christmas - 2016 Christmas Day Schedule - it's the rematch baby!!!
What I'm saying is they pass the ball from the high post...
Yea they had sloppy play but if someone don't understand where/how the dubs attack or from what spots they start some of they're set it is what it is.
It's no surprise the 4's and 5's normally have plenty of assist when playing for the dubs
are y'all serious??????
NBA on ESPN
LeBron is still wearing the in this rivalry
Dude every team knows exactly how they play; there are scouts for every team; i don't know how many unforced turnovers there was but it was alot for GS; had nothing to do with Cavs defense; GS shot 48%from the game they didn't get stop; it was careless play; that game should have been a blow out.......

Home court advantage should be irrelevant when you got two MVPs and two other damn near MVPs in Klay and Green. Why is a 36 year old dunking on them niggas
Crazy.7 of the last 8 NBA MVPs in one photo
20 turnovers...if you have that many against a good/great team it won't matter how good you are.......THEY SUPPOSE TO MURDER THEM EVERYWHERE

Pooh >>>
Curry needs to adjust his game. On the pin downs he only runs to the 3pt line. If he would start to curl on those pin downs, the mid range shot would be open all day.
I never understood why he simply does not curl on the pin downs and shoot the easy 15 footer
Dude is in love with the 3 ball.
I think it's that simple. His mid range is ice cold, but he rather shoot the 3 ball.
Has Curry not payed attention to how much it has helped Klays game this season taking the mid range shot? His game is lethal now. Klay is even starting to add a post game.
I agree that he has fell in love with the 3 ball.
Right. Klay has developed a nice overall offense game. Still not much of an attacker, but he tries which is good enough for him since he is a jump shooter.
Maybe. I'm not big on the 3 ball anyway because I feel like a lot of those shots are just a waste when they are contested heavily or just plain ridiculous.
Steps get a pass because he makes a lot of them.
The finals on that last play when Curry was guarded by Love was the story of how he has fell in love with the 3 ball. Three ball is points efficient at good percentages, but not always needed or to even look for it when the defense is giving you something easier. Curry's mid range is usually wide open. He just don't want it.
Rip Hamilton averaged over 20 just being a mid range shooter. Curry should be able to do half of that plus his three ball game.

Exactly. The big Bitch Durant joined a 70+ win team. Then he says "I didn't fall on my own."
Doesn't the big bitch realize they aren't supposed to have close games? That team isn'g going to get any love from the refs. Refs in their heads looking at them like 
How we get to this point, I could've sworn we're analyzing the assist numbers of non guard players.
Now it's went to turnovers and field goal percentages.
That like lil bush talking about Pakistan and Afghanistan but then switched to Iraq...
the cavs just got the dubs number. same formula to beat them ....good defense, good guard play and high turnover rate by the dubs. lbj been had kd's number. dude always crumble like wet tissue in the fourth quarter for games like this.
This is what sucks about the NBA today
Man even the Spurs takes a high number of 3's.
That's kinda surprising because pop don't necessarily like that shot, well in the past he expressed the dislike of it.
While the last 4 games says you're right, I'm not sure if I agree tho...
The Dubs are two Kyrie bricks away from being an NBA champion and winning yesterday on Christmas.
Pop has the formula when he beat the heat that year. He out coached himself over these last couple of seasons by trying to go back to traditional stay ball.
Now he has incorporated both styles. His offense still isn't as free flowing as it was during those two final seasons against the Heat, but he definitely has his team looking for is more often than last year.
Plus, the reality probably set in that LA isn't going to go what Tim did in the paint. Same with Gasol. They are finesse players that are good from the perimeter.
Leonard is the best post player on the team.
So while they are shooting more threes, they are still a low possession style team.
?
Pooh completes the picture.
Oh and I hope u got your Xmas present of the lakers winning
That is only valid against long against a long two pointer vs a three pointer, but not a midrange shot. So, they would rather the player take a three pointer and not a long two pointer which is going to be around the same percentage but one nets more points.
No, why do you think more fours are shooting threes instead of shooting the David West/LeMarcus Aldridge midrange two? They shoot around 45%.
It's a part of the statistics they use today it's not a coincidence more teams and bigs shoot threes.
It's been proven that the midrange shot is only made at around a 40% clip and is the worst shot in basketball. Even though Draymond's shooting is down this year, he made near 40% last year
Also the three helps with floor spacing and you're more open.
Look at Derozan's shooting percentage. He's been able to make the mid range at a above average clip the past two years. DWade and him are just about the only ones who have been able to survive, and maintain a high percentage but that's gone down as he's gotten older and can't get inside so easily anymore
After looking at some stats and at some of the game again, I noticed one glaring weakness the Warriors have this year that they didn't have last season, that is their center position..
Yesterday Kerr admitted that Zaza had problems adjusting to the speed of the game and was forced to cut down his minutes (13 in all) his confidence in McGee seemed to be less, especially after the Cavs countered by putting Fry in the game to pull him out of the paint.
When I saw Love effectively guarding West and Zaza I knew that was a problem, because this allowed the Cavs to take replace Thompson with Love while playing James at the 4, Jefferson or Liggins at the 3, Shumpert or Jefferson at the 2 and Irving at the 1, (this is the line up that closed the 14pt lead and would have played more were Love not in foul trouble).
This lineup forced the Warriors to either play West or Green at the center while the Cavs lineup being able to switch off from positions 2-5 and match the Warriors line up takes away one of the Warriors biggest offensive weapons (the pick and roll where they kill you on the mismatch due to the switch off).
The result is that the Cavs were not only attack the paint with out fear of any rim protectors they were also able to neutralize the Warrior offense thus allowing them to cut into the 14 point deficit real fast.

That's truth right there, but what kind of confidence does that give Kyrie? He was already hitting game winners with the team before Lebron came when the team wasn't shit. Kyrie lives for that shit and his shot is pretty damn good. It's now like he will be in a mental groove against GS. He knows Curry can't fucking guard him. Curry knows he can't guard him.
Practicing helps to make a great shooter, but having that mental edge makes those shots go in when it matters. Seems like it makes the basket bigger, and any of us who played the game at any level know what it feels like when you just feel it.
If the teams remain healthy, I see another seven game series.
Yeah another 7 games series and u niggas on the losing end lol
How your heat doing?

Nah.....Home court usually equals a little home cooking from the refs. Happens all the time. Add LeBron to the mix and it's definitely an advantage. That is of course you don't think Curry has a lil' advantage when he's at home. It was a good game. Cavs got the win and could potentially win those really tight games if Kerr continues to play small ball in the closing seconds. Technically I would have Durant on Irving and Green on LeBron with seconds to go but hey, Kerr is one arrogant mofo. He'll cut off his nose to spite his face.
