*** the official 2014-15 nba finals thread ***

are you finally starting to realize why you got BIG against small ball? Cavs are only winning this game because they're dominating the boards...missing free throws.. 15 turnovers..it's all because of the size..you beat small teams with size.

But you are giving up so many open shots and you see how easily GSW has open the game up.

I like that line up with Kyrie because he can score the ball.
 
cavs are NOT moving on defense.

the warriors are running around like rabbits on offense.

it's just a matter of time before lebron takes over, but then that's prolly when steph will go off as well (as he's done lately in the 4th qtr).
 
what's up with Lebron? is he tired or conserving his energy for a 4th Q push?? ...he's gotta step it up... it's win or go home

but small teams beat big teams with pick & roll mismatches with jump shooters floating to the 3 pt line. the big man has to come-out... putting himself at risk for a blow-by to the rim by a smaller, quicker player.

"small ball" works when you have a team full of shooters like the warriors; you can't leave anyone wide open.

plus, small teams typically pick-up the pace of the game... making big guys a liability in transition.

You have no choice though... GS gonna get those shots anyway..but you can't bleed everywhere...pick your poison.. so you just hope that GS will miss some of those open shots...but in the last game, they were also getting all the boards...

Lebron is not going to take over. He is in the pass the ball mode.

Cleveland doesn't have a small ball team that can match up anyway..so you just need to depend on the big squad...

Cleveland isn't losing this game because of the small ball.. it's because of the sloppy ass passing from Cleveland and the three throws.
 
Cavs don't deserve to win this game as poorly as they've played...

and James Jones on Iggy? why is Jones on the floor?
 
You see.. going big leaves Klay on Thompson.. Klay will lose that every time....

now Blatt has to get James Jones out of the fucking game.
 
That was a bad call but Klay put himself in that position. Outside of being a decoy, really not contributing much. GS may be in a better position with him sitting.
