NBA Finals: Game 5 Discussion

Whatcha got?
Interested in the Iggy vs Lebron matchup. He's getting more and more minutes on Lebron and doing well. He was their spark on offense last game, it'll be interesting to see if he can do that again.
Why the hell were the Cavs so lost on defense early last game? The Warriors had a wide open shot every possession.
If the Cavs can't knock down open looks from outside they're toast.
Whatcha think?

You couldn't be more wrong. Lebron had historic numbers the first 3 games, the last game he was doubled or playing against 1.5 defenders. Agree on everything else though. I don't know who wins game 5, I just hope it's a good one.

Because Bogut wasn't on the floor stopping the Warriors pace and running the point every possession

I'm talking about Iggy, not LBJ.
He guarded Lebron for a large portion of the game AND was still the man on offense. I'm interested to see how he handles the added possessions on Lebron. His offense was HUGE for GS. It's gotta be hard to slow down Lebron and still be the man on offense too. Interested to see if his offense struggles because of it.

Iggy has still played about as good of defense as you can play against Lebron. He's making him work for those points without fouling so by the time the fourth comes, he's out of juice
Lebrons an all time great, he will still torch you with good defense.

Perkins said expect Bogut to flop into a camera tonight 
If a GS player gets behind the defense for an easy basket one more time I'm going to lose my mind. They killed them with that Thursday.

GS has been doing that all season
You know you are I'm trouble whenever they start throwing those passes all the way down the court to Barnes/Iggy behind the defense for a slam
Think they got one of those on the Cavs last game while they were too busy celebrating and slapping hands
On GSs side, the less Bogut the better. Play Speights, Lee, Z, and play smaller all day. Bogut is just unusable in this series since he can't rebound now either

Part of the reason he was the man on offense is because he had a lot of open looks, like the Cavs had Casper guard Iggy. As far as his defense goes, I'll agree to disagree, Iggy alone did not slow down LBJ at all.

The cavs have to get back to pounding the ball inside to Lebron.
I expect more minutes for mike miller, marion, and james jones.
I said cavs in 7. Im sticking with it. Warriors win tonight

He has had wide open 3s all series and he finally got them to fall last game. And the Cavs would lose him in the paint and he'd get an easy slam
I wouldn't expect another monster game from him like that because he's just not a great shooter, but I would think eventually the Splash brother will get back to normal (I think Steph has almost got there already)

He's been there best option on Lebron all series. Relative to the rest of the guys GSW has thrown at Lebron, he's definitely slowed him down

This is true

Lebron's gonna be pissed with all the press iggy is getting imo were talking 2012 celtics game 6 07 Pistons game 5 type game. He doesn't talk about it to the media but he takes it personally when guys are getting more press than he is much less someone getting credit for going up against him. I think cavs win this but lose series. Bron ends up averaging 40+/10+/8+

matrix may give them a shot in the arm similar to what lee has given the warriors

Hey, what the frick happened at the start of the 4th? Dammit, it's ok if GS goes on a 8-0 run in 60 seconds when they're down 20. But when Cle is down 7 or so, THEY CAN'T AFFORD THAT.
Cle has to break this cycles. If he's only gonna get 2-4 minutes of rest, they can easily change when it comes.
It's beyond a mental thing now. At the start of the 4th GS sees him on the bench and says "Let's kill these fools!!!" And then they kill them.
That shite can't happen anymore.

The iggy defense on lebron is being way overblown. Lebron missed a ton of easy layups and was being double teamed more often. Iggy didn't do anything different besides finally started hitting some shots.
If Lebron can get back to where he was a jr smith and shumpert stop being complete dog shite we should have another close one.

you could tell that was definitely a big part of their gameplan and Kerr must have stressed it a lot because they went for that quite a bit last game

Don't understand why they haven't let Perkins do a couple of these already...a couple hard screens to curry and Thompson...I mean that's what they are paying the guy for
