GS definitely looks beatable tonight. They're not sitting anybody playing for the record, and they're down 10 in the 4th.

These officials are trying to give the game to GS.

Here comes the cavs meltdown

Memphis gets robbed by a no call on a last second shot.

Lue couldn't coach a Rec league

Deli for the win... And airballs...

That's him in a nutshell. Last years surprising play this year has moved on a revealed a guy that should be getting 8-10 minutes a game not 30. We have serious problems with the bench

If he can be Curry's daddy like he was the first two games of the finals last year I can live with him getting minutes.

lol delly's last shot epitomized his offensive game. honestly, you can't hit the rim??

j/c:

Lue drives me nuts at times. Why have TT sitting on the bench for a good part of crunch time? The Bulls were abusing us inside w/that lineup. Stupid!

Can anybody explain to me why mosgov is so soft?

He looks lost out there this year. He played well last year. He wasn't soft. But, he's terrible this year.

To me he doesn't look lost. He looks like he plays with oven mitts on. The guy can't catch a clean pass to save his life. I dunno how any coach is suppose to teach catching a basketball.

And he plays with almost zero strength in the paint. That's a reason blatt had to lower dudes minutes in the playoffs last year. And it looks like the same thing is gonna happen again.

Now I understand why TT got that contract. Mosgov is a huge liability.

I don't know if it still is, but Delly's 3pt percentage was better than Curry's late in the season.

How many 3's does Delly take a game compared to curry

It's not accurate (Delly is shooting 42% they said on TV last night) ... and Curry is far above that; however, it's also based on Delly probably shooting WAY fewer shots. Probably a # in the hundreds and hundreds.

I didn't look any #s up ... just guessing

As of right now:

Delly 3pt: 97-235 .413

Curry 3 pt: 388-858 .452


Wow Curry's #'s are incredible

Of course I'm not saying Delly = Curry, but we've had more than a few occasions this season when Delly treys broke the back of the opposition. For a while there, it seemed like he couldn't miss.

he drives me nuts all the time..dude will not be here next year..its pretty bad when i was screaming to put TT in, we went 8 minutes without scoring or a single rebound...thats all coaching..he stuck with that crappy second unit. If you aren't going to have TT at the 5 then have Frye, Love isn't it. RJ is done, he has nothing left so we're basically back where we were last year with out bench

Yeah, they were beating us up when we had Love at center.

And Jefferson......he's played okay this year, but I noticed one play in the 4th quarter where there was a loose ball. He tried to move laterally and he just couldn't do it quick enough. It was like his feet were in mud. Man, I identified w/that because while I can still run forward fast enough, my lateral movement sucks. Freaking age will get you!

yeah i hope whatever happens this year, next year they try to fill the bench with some young guys. These days of having a nursing home bench doesn't work..maybe a vet or two chasing a ring, but fill the rest with young guys that can fit a need. I guess lebron came out last night and said to the media Delly should have passed him the ball at the end..lol, I don't blame him though, lebron was on last night and shooting 90% from 3 while delly was at 1-9 from the field. I don't like much about delly but I don't think lebron should have done that..watching the play that was the correct shot, he just didn't come through. Though if anything i think i would had love take the two and take your chances

I read that article about LeBron wanting to have Delly pass him the ball. I almost posted it on here, but I thought the title of the article was misleading. It wasn't LeBron's actual quote.

Either way, Delly had a good look. It was a good shot. Just poor execution.

yep, that was the correct basketball play after love passed it, though love could have taken the shot..delly was calling for it and was set, lebron wasn't in a shooting position and was backpedaling. Given how much time was on the clock, its fair to assume lebron wouldn't have gotten in position or the shot off in time

Looks like Detroit will be the 8 seed. Ironically they're the last regular season opponent.

Coincidentally too.

LOL

In case you guys missed it, the Sixers hired Jerry Colangelo above their GM Sam Hinkie (who was hired with the plan he instituted in mind). Colangelo said he was going to keep Hinkie, he then leaked rumors of another person on the same level of the organizational ladder being hired. Hinkie resigned (proper no hyphen) and wrote a letter/manifesto to the organization that was not supposed to become public (it became public almost immediately). Colangelo then hired his son Bryan to be the GM and then quit the same day.

Crazy.

One game away from 73. Crazy.

I wonder if Duncan is gonna make the difference if they see GS in the WCF

I don't think Duncan can be effective for long stretches anymore. I'll be interested to see if he can turn it on in the playoffs.

i don't think anyone stops GS this year, in east or west...they are just that good right now

Once again we own Atlanta. Can't remember the last time they beat us.

We just locked up the #1 seed.

Lebron last 11 games:

28.4 PPG, 8.0 RPG, 8.5 APG , 65 FG%, 53.8 3PT%, 72.4 TS%, +15.7 Net rating.

In his last 48 games, he's shooting close to 55% from the field.

None of that matters because he's a jerk.

I just hope we get tonight's version of Kyrie in the playoffs.

Remember last season when Kyrie put up 50 on the Spurs and won the game with a block from behind?

That was fun.

You said that to insult posters who have complained about him [w/out calling him a jerk] but the reality of it is that the lack of chemistry on this team is probably what's going to prevent them from winning a championship.

So what's the solution to the chemistry problem?

Get rid of Lebron?

No. We're married to him.

There is no solution. That time came and went.

I don't want to make it sound like I am trashing the Cavs. The Cavs are a good team. Very good. They are fun to watch. Very entertaining. They are successful. Getting the number 1 seed in the East is significant. Heck, compare them to the Browns. People will be thrilled if the Browns go 6 and 10 next year. LOL

I just think that in order to win a championship, it would have taken a complete buy-in from all. That is why I was preaching that we shouldn't make any big trades. Why no coaches should be fired.

I was hoping for the team to just "buy in" to what Blatt was selling, like G. State does w/Kerr and the Spurs w/Pop. All three teams have elite talent. The Spurs are probably a notch below talent wise. Heck, I think the Cavs have the most overall talent.

When you get to the Finals and you have two extremely talented teams matched-up, the difference between winning and losing is chemistry.

So again.........I don't want to give the impression that I think the Cavs suck. They are a very, very good team. They are fun to watch. I do appreciate them winning. I am just disappointed because I really think they have a championship caliber roster.

Who knows, perhaps they will win it all despite their lack of chemistry and prove my theories to be completely wrong.
