Any ideas?

You play off and they kill you with the jump shot.

You play them tight and they kill you with off the ball screens or KD or Curry just face you up and take it to the basket even blowing by help defense.

You hope they miss. Then you hope you don't miss your shots. I think.

Cavs actually have the right pieces to beat them they just aren't performing.

Looking at you kyle korver, Tristan Thompson, jr smith, and the ghost of deron Williams

Getting rid of the 3 second rule on defense might help a little. Not much though.

If Tristan Thompson is going to be non-existent - you have to start either Shumpert or Derrick Williams. Frye, Korver, and Deron Williams all look very slow out there...

NBA only appeals to uneducated, people who think rap music is good music, and those who make less than 50k a year

Properly implement cap smoothing.

Oh wait, damage already done.

I can't remember who said it but you have to get physical. You give up the first game or two but you beat em down and make them earn everything. Makes game 3 a lot easier to win.

Of course game 1 the Cavs did just the opposite

At least this approach will limit the offensive rebounds and second and third chance points for Warriors.

IIRC this is how the Cavs beat them last year. They beat the shite out of Curry in the first three games.

Yep, but they have been unsuccessful at doing this when he's on defense this year because the Warriors are defending the pick and roll differently. So essentially all you can do is rough him up on off the ball screens he's involved in.

Yeah, they totally shouldn't have allowed the Warriors to draft 3 all stars and then attract a free agent.
