I'm not making excuses for Curry, just an observation. He is an amazing shooter, but guys who rely on 3's for the bulk of their offense have a lot smaller margin of error.
Doesn't seem like the Cavs are going to quit doubling and trapping, so they'll continue to get some of those looks when Cle doesn't rotate properly or GS moves the ball to the right spot. Seemed like GS also took a bunch of, and made a couple, "4 pointers". Cavs are going to give those all night.
Agree on Curry. Lights out, insane shooter. But they (shooters) live and die by that sword. He goes cold and they are in a little trouble. But again GS's depth is so damn good with Klay and Green and Barnes here and there, Iggy too. It is tough to overcome for the Cav's who are getting just about nothing offensively from anyone not named Lebron or Kyrie. An APB has been issued by the city of Cleveland for Kevin Love in game 6.
MJ is dead then, right? and has been resurrected as the one true Jesus?Long Ball Larry said:
Local radio was saying (obviously) this is Chicago's first position. But realistically, they maybe do the trade for only Lavine and the pick, or something like that. I doubt they would do that, until they are in full re-build mode, but I can't pretend to know their situation enough to know that for sure.
No doubt. But that's still the best shot for them to give up in the grand scheme of things.
i like to think of mj chuck and ditka as the holy trinity they are all the same sports jesus so of course they would not fight eachother just like the father son and the holy ghost would not get it on in a ladder match inside a cage with hacksaw jim duggan as a special ref because they are all one take that to the banks of the shores of brohalla bromigos
I decided a long time ago that I have to use a higher standard for liking SWC posts or I'd burn through all of my likes too quickly.
Word on the street is he will have shoulder surgery and MCL surgery in the next couple weeks.stbugs said:
Wonder if the Cavs would prefer Jimmy Buckets over Love at this point. Might not be a much better fit than Love offensively since he definitely needs the ball in the same spots as Lebron, but he couldn't be any worse on offense. He be a great piece on D for this series though.
That was my gut reaction as well, but didn't know if I was way off base.
I don't think Chicago is shipping out Butler for that little. In fact, I'd venture to guess that it would take an absolute sweetheart deal to get butler.
the mvp might be one of those guys but admit it joet jace from sons of anarchy or sam crow as those of us in the know call it will always be the mvp of your heart it is ok to admit it that is all i am saying take that to the crow flies high bank bromigo
The problem with this is LeBron has done quite a bit of stat padding late in games when the outcome is a forgone conclusion. That's why watching the games matters and not just regurgitating some stat sheet.
I saw this from Ziller this AM. Nails it.
Fun with numbers: LeBron currently leads all players in the series from both teams in both assists (by a huge margin) and rebounds. Just that fact alone would be enough for any other player to be considered an all-time great effort. Now consider that he's also tied for the series lead in blocks (w Bogut) and steals (w Irving) and is one behind Irving in total points scored.
If Bogut's injury last night is anywhere near as bad as it looked, I'd expect LeBron to finish with the blocks lead. Points and steals are wildcards dependent on how well Irving plays. He hit some shots in traffic last night, but that's what he's paid to do. Surprised Irving has logged as many steals as he has, but thinking about it he's usually the guy punishing GSW for lazy passes out top or risky wraparound passes from underneath the hoop out to a three-point shooter.

LeBron is leading the series in assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, and is only 1 point behind Kyrie in points. There's a lot more to basketball than making tough shots.
One thing's for certain - the writer of that article does not frequent NBA threads here in the FFA.
LOL. So true. When I first read the article, as soon as I saw Kobe's name "6-for-24" popped into my head. I remember Jordan having an off night on that Game 5 Ziller mentioned, but I couldn't have gotten MJ shooting stats right with ten guesses.
He scored some buckets at the end of Game 4 that were uncontested drives. That's about all I've noticed that I would consider "stat padding". So maybe 6 points and a couple boards.
Yes. Here's usually what happens.
I'm assuming you have a point beyond the extremely non-controversial difference between a high-five and a sex act, so how about you quit #####footing around and get to it?
