Great game by the warriors .
Iggy outplayed queen james
Bogut dnt play much but had a great foul on james
barnes and $green had good games
Livingston and barbosa had good minutes off the bench
D Lee missed a few easy shots but has nice impact on the game when he is in there.
splash bros did their thing
I like the way the crowd was chanting WARRRRRRRRRIORSSSSS at the end of the game
King James had to take a night off so to speak, congrats MvP you found your shot last night.
Threes were raining in the building if not a three then assist the ball!
Now that the warriors went small ball with draymond green at center, theyve rediscovered their offense. Sure theyll give up a ton of offensive rebounds to the cavs, but i dont think theyll mind mozgov and tristan having big games if that means draymond, klay, stephen and iguodala have big games...
Jalen Rose said it best. Before the start of game 4, he said "The winner of tonight's game is going to go on to win the whole thing."
If Curry finds his shot, the Cavs are in trouble. If Green and Thompson both find their groove, it's lights out. The problem with the Cavs is...they shot their wad in games 2 and 3. They were playing hard and they still barely won those games...which is a testament to Steve Kerr and his ability to keep the game competitive even if his go-to guys aren't draining 3s left and right.
The Dubs at one point were down 20 in game 3 and they came back to being down by only 1 a few minutes later.
Another issue is the Cavs bench. You can't keep rotating the same 7 guys and expect that to last. Dellavulva is fun to watch when he's on, but he isn't the second coming of Isiah Thomas. I wouldn't pin my hopes on that dude if I were a Cavs fan. He's high energy, but if he's throwing up bricks, what good is he really? Oh, and JR? What a disappointment. He was supposed to be another Irving, but he looked flat in that last game. If he puts on another performance like he did in game 4, it's gonna be ugly.
Maybe James could carry the team in his prime, but I just don't see it happening. You can't rely on one guy to carry the entire offense and the Dubs have shown they have a deeper bench than the Cavs at this point.
If the Cavs are going to take the Dubs at home, Tristan Thompson is going to have to play the game of his life.
I would say that projection for lebron would be... optimistic.
Lebron was springier in his early to mid 20's (he's 30 now) but i wouldnt say he would have been any better in this series; he didnt have a post game until a few years ago after all.
I think in the playoffs most teams play a set 7-8 man rotation, your top guys...
He's a little behind on assists for the series (8 something per game), and he hasnt shot 50% yet in the series, unless you count free throws.
Theyre conceding the long range shots but collapsing on him when he gets near the basket, so i dont think he'll shoot over 50% tonite.
It's impressive what hes doing, no doubt, dragging a depleted team to contention with the best team in the league. But in any team sport, you need more than one great player to win the championship. Michael jordan found that out, so did kobe, in other sports peyton manning, alex rodriguez, all the great players couldnt do it without some elite talent on their side.
