Warriors have a dilemma because Green is the only person that can possibly cover Lebron. And he'll get himself in foul trouble doing it. But using Green creates some mismatches in the front court.
Did they find the moron(s) who vandalized Lebron's house?
Yeah ain't that some shit? I was going to start a racism thread on AMT.
His response to it was nothing more than eloquent and I learned more about the Mississippi Burning years and about a young Emmet Till.
I've seen a couple clips of his statement but just searched and found a full transcript online. I completely agree. Mentioning the case of Emmett Till was a great talking point. If anything, this small person who had the gall to vandalize his home did nothing more than give Lebron a platform to show the world that racism is alive and well. Just as Till's mother exposed the cruelty of racism by asking for a public service with an open casket for her 14-year old son. I'm sure the narrow-minded idiot(s) thought they were getting one over on Lebron, but instead just gave an even bigger voice to one of the most popular athletes in the world.

Can't miss? They shot way below what they usually do and they missed 8 point blank layups. I know this thread has turned into a Warriors haters gathering but try to be objective. I told you two months ago the new Cavs bench couldn't run with the Warriors and tonight was just the beginning. It's only one game but LeBron will have to play at a level never seen by anyone ever for this to be a competitive series. If Klay finds his shot even a little this series will be over quickly. Oh but wait, the Warriors can't play defense, can't defend the rim, can't score in the paint and have no depth. All the unfounded talking points of Warriors haters. The Cavs are champs and will play their guts out but in the end the might just be outgunned. Relying on Kevin Love to score a consistent 17-20 against this Warriors defense is probably not going to happen. He did a hell of a job on the boards but the Cavs need at least one more scorer to have a real shot,

Did you watch the third and fourth quarter when they kept draining 3's and Lebron kept missing layups? That's what I saw.
I also saw a Cavs team NOT playing Cavs basketball. They changed up their game plan.
GS D'd up big time too.
This was one of those games that everything seemed to go GS' way.
4 TO to 20?!?
56 pts in the paint to 30...
The 2nd attempt points by GS was amazing too.
Cavs have a lot of adjusting to do. Typical for their style in the finals. I just hope it's not too late when they figure it
Here's a few things that stand out in Game 1, some I don't really see changing, some obviously will...
- Klay and Draymond a combined 6-28 - Korver and Williams a combined 0 points. Frye didn't even play. These guys are colossal defensive liabilities so if they don't score they are useless. These guys will obviously play better, - Warriors 4 turnovers - Cave were 2-12 when Klay was the primary defender. Best defensive 2 Guard in the NBA by a wide margin. - Cavs can't have LeBron guarding KD this whole series. He used way too much energy on that end. Don't know what the answer is though. Old man Jefferson is the only other serviceable option and that's not a good option. - Love and Tristan can't defend pick and rolls and Tristan can't bully Zaza and Draymond on the boards and when that happens he resorts to fouls and essentially checking out mentally. - Warriors missed 28 open shots, most nights they hit at least half those. Cavs defense is severely flawed. - Love had the most invisible 15 points ever. - Cavs can't overplay the 3 again. Leaving wide open lanes for KD was an awful strategy. They'll pack in their defense on Sunday, as they should have done last night. If Klay starts hitting his shots though it won't matter. Might even be worse as the Warriors can put up 130-140 when they are hitting 3's which they didn't last night. - Defense matters, hence why Leanord is the real MVP. Kyrie is an awful defender and LeBron can't use everything he has on D. Warriors defense across the board is superior. I know we all devalue the regular season but they were a great defensive team for the first 95 regular and postseason games. That's a pretty good trend.
Cleveland having to work way to hard. If they don't adjust now this is going to be another blow out. Can't leave guys open for uncontested threes like this and beat GS.

Same thing happened last year. Let's see what happens.
Cavs defense sucks though...
They need a Dennis Rodman type player, an enforcer.
We will see what happens in Cleveland but the addition of Durant was too much for Lebron. Lebron was gassed by half way through the 3rd. The extra effort having to guard Durant looks to be too much. Love played what will probably be his best game of the series and Cavs still lost by 20. Warriors in 5 this time I think.

Reporter: Is this a case where you have to defend home court? Lebron: Well, I mean, are you a smart guy? Reporter: I think so, yeah. Lebron: You think so, ok. So we don't defend home court, what happens? Reporter: Well, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Lebron: I'm asking you. Reporter: Well, you guys are looking at getting swept. Lebron: All right, so that answers your question.
We always have last year to fall back on! All we need
are these few things to fall into place and this will be an epic series…
Curry to start playing like crap like he did
last year. You know when he couldn’t beat Tristan Thompson of the dribble.
Durant to start playing like Harrison Barnes.
You know, shooting 15% from the floor and completely melting down mentally.
ZaZa and McGee both start playing like Festus
Ezeli for the remainder of the series. Fouling 3 point shooters, providing no
interior defense and missing wide open layups.
Andre Iguodala to suddenly come down with a back
ailment and hardly be able to walk for the remainder of the series.
Draymond picks a fight and gets suspended.
Listen Cleveland played great in games 5,6,7 last year but the
amount of variables that fell into place for that to happen are virtually impossible
to re-create. Their only real shot is to slow the game down dramatically which
Lue seems to want no part in. I still feel like they should get a game because
they are a great team with Championship pride. Kyrie and LeBron are good enough
to win one, maybe two games by themselves but there’s a reason they are 3 point
underdogs on their own floor on Wednesday.
