Defense is about effort and communication first. talent second. how many times did Cavs players - Lebron included - just stand there and watch the warriors throw down jams without even trying to provide help defense. there was no effort under the rim or in transition for the cavs defense.

I still do not think they would beat them. But it would be closer.

Because of the greatness of Lebron and Kyrie off the dribble. Every single time Lebron went to the bench though their offense became super stagnant. Which just racks up more minutes for Lebron because he has to stay on the court. A good offensive scheme would allow for less iso and get Lebron and Kyrie more rest in…

This is not just about overall talent level. This is about coaching. The Cavs cannot play a lick of team defense and have a theoretically offense at best. They basically just play iso-ball all the time. That kind of thing is on the coaching. Not the players or their level of talent.

I am not talking about just this series. He has been doing it for years. He always pushes off his perimeter defender and never gets called for it.

Lebron fans need to take a close look at how much he travels and pushes off with his left arm when he drives to the right before they even begin to talk about a double dribble.

Surprisingly he only said it 3 times last night. Which seems low....

I invented a new drinking game last night. Drink every time Mark Jackson says “clearly contact”

The problem is that the cavs defense is pretty terrible all around. Way worse than it was last year. Even though the Cavs won in 5 the Celtics got all the three points looks they wanted because Cleveland can’t run anybody off the line. No way Golden State doesn’t take advantage of that. And while the C’s actually have…

It’s not about stopping Lebron. It’s about stopping his teammates to the point where he gets frustrated and tries to do too much and starts making mental mistakes.

My uncle served on the Missouri when it was recommissioned for the Gulf War.

Horseshoes is criminally low.

So nothing on the several quests that have completion bugs?

because at some point recently the NBA decided it was a good idea to have guys who need to move their arms around in all matter of directions constantly should also have to deal with wearing sleeves.

Isn’t this like the 3rd time X Files was leaving netflix only to stay on it.

Maybe they are giving it bad reviews cause it was actually terrible?

When I first got my PS4 i sat it right next to my PS3. I had all kinds of wifi problems with the PS4. never once did I have an issue with my PS3.

San Antonio leads the league in defensive efficiency and is second in the league in opponents points per game. Yet they are no real threat? Sure...

Cleveland only has one good interior defender in Thompson. The spurs have Gasol and Lee who are both excellent around the rim offensively. Kawhi can guard Lebron or Kyrie and only Lebron can guard Kawhi which he doesn’t like to do in the playoffs so he can maximize his offense. The Spurs are also much deeper than…
