Guess u don't get it
Guess u one of the ones who would rather avoid confrontation
Guess I'm the only one who misses two teams actually giving their absolute all
Not this nonchalant curry like play
And i don't mean str8 brawling
I just want some intense competitiveness is what I'm getting at
It wouldn't hurt to see somebody get in somebody else's face after a good hard basketball foul and talk a little smack or something
All I'm saying

Dray has been AWFUL when he's caught the ball in those high pick & rolls with Steph. They're just trapping steph & Dray isn't making them pay like he's been doing all year.
That's killing their offense because now Cleveland can trap Steph with impunity & force the ball into a struggling players hand.
Then when Steph is off the ball, Dell is doing a great job chasing him around screens so Steph still can't get clean looks.
Usually Steph kills you with 1 or the other.
The last option is iso but Kerr hates doing that.
If Dray is gonna continue to be poor, he's either gonna have to play Lee (& accept the trade off because Lee hurts their D) or let Steph go iso more often.

if the cavs win, will this be the first time a player has led his children to a championship?

Not talking game plan, but all the other intngibles. Nobody experienced the finals on except Kerr and he could only say it so much i'm sure. the players have to "get it" but won't be able to in time. it might be getting too late.
This is lebron's 5th straight finals and u know he's making sure his players know what's up

Too bad Kobe already admitted to being carried and playing a supporting role back then,
PC
Looking at the numbers and still saying he was carried (in any of those runs) is stupidity. Hell right after one of those titles shaq said he wouldn't have been there without kobe.
Stupidity, you say?
Shaq averaged 38-16-2 while kobe averaged 15-4-4 in the first finals. I get you're an admitted delusional Laker fan but come on

No doubt about it. But no matter how tough you are mentally or physically , dem cramps hurt like a mofo.

Guess you stuck in the past
Guess you showing a childish mentality
So you dont think Dellavedova and Bron have been showing intense competitiveness?
I guess diving for every free ball isn't wanting it enough
Who knew talking trash was the deciding factor as to whether guys want it
Trash none of them intend to back up at that

Yeah in the post game Wade asked Lebron what hurts and he said "What DOESNT hurt..."
I guess that's expected. Just a few more games. 2-4 and they can relax all off season and count that money and hopefully hoist a trophy

i hear what u saying, but maybe the lack of competitiveness is due to the fact that cavs are just beating them up. delly is taking the fight out of curry for example. has steph seen this type of pressure all season? the cavs bigs are owning the paint and u see bogut just cna't keep up physically. tristan has like a 50gallon tank dude never seems to tire out.

I never see Tim Duncan trash talk and yet I can say without a doubt he is one of the fiercest competitors I've ever seen.

Crazy that basketball professional reporters are saying David Lee and Curry seeing those Hail Mary 3s going in as the turn of the series.
When does a player a team doesn't scout for and making desperation 3s give you advantages?
Like are they expecting David Lee to get 20-10-5 and Curry to come down pulling fadeaway 3s all game?

Not sure he was guarded less on the buckets in the 4th. Could be wrong, but seeing the shots fall is gonna do a lot for him.
Delly is gonna be alright. No way he lets cramps from 2 days ago keep him from game 4 when he's been so important in these last 2 games.
Kobe: can't go to shootout with a butter knife. #letitfly
Love the new Lebron. Not enough to buy his shirt though. Still pulling for the warriors but might put a few dollars on the Cavs if they get the Warriors with 3 losses.

I think they're seeing that the offense flows better against Cleveland when David Lee is on the court. I wouldn't say they're a better team with lee, but for some reason the offense flows. The ball is moving much more when he's on the court. It's amazing really.
If Barnes goes 0fer again this series is over. I mean you need Barnes and Iggy to hit like 2 threes each. They're wide open most of the time, unfathomable that they're choking like this.
Klay needs to give you 18-24 with good defense, and Green needs to stop crying.
alot of ifs, but alot of ifs on the Cavs side too. we'll see what happens.

He shows very little emotion... but when he missed that hook in Game 7 and slapped the ground it was evident that fire is always there for him. He just has great composure and respect.

He has looked SO washed whenever the Cavs have put him in even for a few minutes this season. He needs to hang it up for real after this year.

I don't see them as the turn of the series, but Steph's confidence was beyond shot before the 4th quarter. If he can get a couple buckets early in game 4... things could look up for GSW.
