That's definitely a part of it. Their inexperience is evident. Who else saw Curry's horrible body language last night? That's your leader? Like they said, you can't be MVP just when things are going well.
Yeah, I was wondering how the media was going to respond to that.

Their strategy of letting Lebron get his was one I thought to be the correct strategy. The problem is it interferes with how they want to play offensively. So maybe they have to take some risks to push the pace and start getting out in transition like they want to. Maybe that will help with morale if they're playing the way they want to.
Yeah, I thought it was the best strategy too, but it's obvious Blatt has told the rest of the team to just be active around the rim and trust in each other defensively.

The other problem with letting Lebron get his is that's only a stategy that works well when there isn't a significant mismatch in the first place. But no one has come close to stopping Lebron, so it's a problem. If his shot was actually falling at a good clip, these games wouldn't be close.
Yeah, LeBron's post game has really been a problem for GS. It's tough because he is such an incredible passer that it's dangerous to double team him. And, because GS has been aggressive in guarding him, the refs are allowing LeBron to be aggressive in the post, which makes him even harder to guard.

I think they are going to have to start doubling LeBron and getting the ball out of his hands.
Right now, LeBron is totally controlling the pace of the game which is pretty amazing, but it is something that can be changed if GS wants to change it. Double him quickly, he will pass, his options are not the greatest right now, and pace will pick up as LeBron is being very deliberate on offense and often taking the shot clock way down before doing something.

LeBron has been his team's outright leader in Pts/Rebs/Asts in 35 career playoff games, including in Gm2. Next most all-time is 13 by Bird

It's Delladova. At one point in the late 3rd early 4th, Curry came in. As he was taking off his warm up top, Blatt immediately sent Delladova in. After Curry saw him his face dropped to the floor and his demeanor went from let's go to doom and gloom. It's obvious Curry is bothered by him.

He either controls pace or they give up easy baskets. Right now it's ISO with LeBron holding the ball until 6-8 seconds are left on the clock. He either drives in for a tough layup/dish to perimeter or he takes a step back jumper. Pace dictated and no real way to defend. They would be crazy to try to trap/double him. LeBron has possibly the best basketball IQ of any player in history and elite vision. He will find somebody for an uncontested layup if GS starts leaving people open.

Yeah, the double team doesn't sound too great because of his passing. I've noticed that when LeBron is posting up on the left side Mozgov or TT are kind of hanging high. If they double team LeBron I could see Mozgov/TT making a move into the lane, or JR/James Jones sitting on at the 3.
BUT, at this point, you have to try something.

Right. Delladova can easily be beaten off the dribble. Teague ran circles around him and was very successful driving to the basket while Delly guarded him. Steph isn't doing that. Kudos to Blatt/Bron for instilling this ethic/gameplan in Delly.
With all of this said, Curry actually ended up with a pretty terrific game, I don't blame him on the loss. I blame Green/Barnes who shot 2/18, Kerr for a bad game plan, and Thompson to an extent. You are a 3rd team all nba player, you should be better.

Jeff Teague on May 22 in Game 2 of the conference finals. Teague was harassed by Dellavedova to the tune of 1-for-11 from the field. In that same game, Teague was 4-for-5 when guarded by anybody else. Of defenders whom Teague has taken at least five shots against in a game, nobody did a better job guarding Jeff Teague in any game this postseason than Dellavedova.

Teague dropped 30 on him in game 3.
The Hawks shot terribly in that series, but if you watched Teague beat him off the dribble constantly and had easy drives to the basket.

Lebron will either start to get doubled and we'll see them in their true form(minus their good players obviously), or GS will play him the same and HOPEFULLY he'll commit more to scoring and finish more of those looks at the rim.

I don't mean that he isn't committed to scoring or shooting, but it looks like he's still hesitant at times almost mid shot.
And where the shite are the people who claimed Cleveland's offense can't get any better? It was all of our more knowledgable basketball guys too. Game 2 they scored, I believe, 86 points on 32% in regulation. Game 3 they scored 96 points on 46% shooting. Why would anyone in their right mind say their offense wouldn't het better?
Game 4 is a must win for the Cavs IMO.
