Official 2015 NBA Playoff Thread

The Cavs started the 4th game off by going around Lebron in the offense, it started looking good for the Cavs till the Warriors speeded up the tempo to a running game to take a 12 point lead on the Cavs at Half-time
 
Warriors are in trouble. Cavs are on a run and now only down 3 but the King has so far been passive scoring. He seems to be tired and saving himself for the last quarter. An aggressive Lebron will win the game.

An aggresive Lebron James cant stay on the peremeter to stop IGGY 3-ball shot (4-9)
Lebron is giving Mozgov a career high in scoring .. Mozgov got 28 pts with 5 min left in game
 
Warriors got their must win. Kerr made some nice adjustments but that's the beauty of the Warriors with that depth they can bring in all-stars that were coming off the bench and start them. Iggy was huge again and DLee gave them some nice minutes.
 
Delly, Shump, and JR Smith combine to go 7 for 35 on a night where Lebron just looked worn out at times at how much he needs to do on the court with 40+ minutes per game a guarantee at this point. I understand that Lebron is shooting a crap percentage as well on the floor, but he's going to have to be the one to keep taking a lot of the shots if the other guys are going to be this unreliable. Mozgov and Thompson continue to impress, especially when Golden State goes small ball. Now, it's a best of 3 I guess.

After the Cavs super human effort on Tuesday you would expect them to have an off game. They should be rested on Sunday with 2 days off, I expect a return to form by Lebron but if he sees consistent double teams, JR and Shump have to shoot better when he passes out of the double teams to win.
 
I wouldnt put Shump back into the game till late in the 2nd half .. two missed layups com'on
I thought he was favoring his left shoulder and Jalen just confirmed it. I understand its the finals and Shump wants to gut it out but maybe he should be sitting and Miller should be playing more minutes.
 
Iggy Pop is the MVP of this series thus far. I said Lebron would have to average a Trip Double to have a shot but his 20missed FGA/gm is just killing them, especially during second half. I understand he's doing everything but maybe he's overdoing it. He needs to work on being more offensively efficient. Maybe take less shots...make a little more and give a little more offensive freedom to the back court.

Lebron needed to play a perfect game for the Cavs to have a chance and he was far from perfect despite his triple double. It was a long shot they could win without Kyrie so this is looking more like the Memphis series where the Warriors win in 6. Still rooting for the Cavs but the Warriors are too good and too deep.

For some reason I think the Warriors lay down in Cleveland but I'm hoping not. Want Lebron to get erased again because his douchebaggery tendencies still exist such as here...





You can see in his face he calculated saying this, yet knowing the real fear of losing yet his 4th Finals is pretty much a reality. Lebron is more like Jim Kelly than Joe Montana.

This reminds me of his post game meltdown when he told us all including you Tig..."Everyone else has to go back to their regular jobs and regular boring life, I'll be fine."

The King is arrogant but Knick fans would still give their left arm to get him on the Knicks.

I don't see the Cavs winning at home, the Warriors have figured it out with the small lineup and Blatt has no depth leading to noticable fatigue in the 4th for his guys.

The key for the Warriors continues to be Curry, when he's Clark Kent the Cavs seem to keep it close, when he goes Superman the Warriors open up big leads.

I would never want Lebron in a Knicks uniform. I'm very principled in how I feel...you don't get free passes in my world just because you're rare and awe inspiring amongst the masses.

I'm not the biggest Curry fan but give me Curry, Duncan, Dirk so I can beat the King. It's better to beat a King or the one considered the best than to win with one. As far as the Dubs go...I think their key is Iggy. They've been in every game whether Curry was on or not. If Iggy continues his secret weapon all-around play...making life hell on....




Dubs probably get it done at the Quick.
 
I think I said in a couple of posts, the first game and 4th game that Iggy was huge, never said it about Steph so I have to agree with you to an extent but when Steph goes off the Speedball Analytic 3 ball shooting bells go off and a tie game becomes a 15 pt. lead. Phenomenal shooter and he's not without an inside game as well.
