New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

Cavs have several players making clutch shots. And look at Della emote when he bothered Curry for that air ball. Wounded tiger mentality is dangerous. The Cavs don't have Irving and Love, yet they are no pushovers.
....who wants to get mugged
Wrong neighborhood I'm walking home barefoot.
Still can't see how Cavs win series,would be a depressing fail of team ball vs star ball.
Hi
Steph Curry is more important to this team than we anticipated. The Warriors didn't lose the game as much as Curry did lose it for them, His shooting was horrendous. To paraphrase Fox Sports MATTHEW Dellavedova nullyfied the MVP. This was the difference IMO not the play of the Cavs

Agreed. It was Della. He stepped up when Irving went down in the Atlanta series. He was pestering the bigger boys like Igoudala and Green on post up plays. Amazing toughness. And he made clutch floaters and treys. Steve Kerr has to find a way to adjust to this guy for the rest of the series.
Amazing that the two most interesting players are the the frail looking Curry and the doughy looking Della. This is not to take anything away from LBJ who is just a total friggin' monster everywhere on the court but we already knew that.
A friend of mine in Michigan who plans to watch a possible Game 7 told me about the ticket prices for that night.
Starts around $1,350 in the upper level.
Good thing I'm home already.

Hi
Repeating here.. They may have to call "Traveling" more on LBJ .. Seems he travels every time he drives to the basket... I mean he is already a mega-player must they give him so much leeway with the rules? Great Series!

James has been traveling since he got into the playoffs many years ago. Last night Mozkov followed suit, taking 4-5 steps and making the shot and the refs must be taking their lunch somewhere. Breen was giggling as he counted the steps on slo-mo. If traveling is part of the rules, and last-touch possession is part of the rules, why not make traveling reviewable? We're talking of 2 points here, in the case of Mozcov.

Warriors in the same hole as they were in the Memphis series. Winning the first game and losing the next 2 for a 1-2 deficit. But Memphis did not have a James and more importantly, they did not have a DELLA. The guy did all the intangibles last night, and was jumping up and down like he could play a full soccer game and even quarterback an NFL game. This is the kind of guy an opposing coach have trouble containing. X-factor type of guy who was probably the 4th guard of the Cavs in the regular season behind Irving, JR and Shumpert. Well, sending David Lee as the Warriors' X-factor was a good idea and can be implemented in the next game. Warriors has not lost 3 in a row all season long and will be hoping it does not happen tomorrow or they will be 1-3. James' homecoming is getting to be real dramatic. Warriors need to be sharper and cut the turnovers. Curry made an ill advised behind the back pass error late in the game. A young MVP.

Curry has to elevated his game. True he has been well guarded but it has been the case for most of the year... Della is a good player but the true Superstars are not stopped so cold. How he (Curry) plays in the next game will define his standing among elite players: Some people on a give night may have given MJ, Kobe, Magic, Bird, etc a hard time for a Playoff game or two.. They always prevailed in the end.
If Curry continue to play like that, Cavs in 5 . I must say I wasn't expecting such an outocome.
Good point, Franz. Bird had Cooper, Magic had DJ, Kobe had Pierce, and MJ had Bryon Russell. Agreed, Curry need a zen master who can psyche him back in and say what in the heck is a Della anyway? And let's not forget Tyronn Lue, the Allen Iverson 'stopper', who interestingly, today, sits as Associate Head Coach of the Cavaliers - perhaps mentoring Della at full throttle on how to stop superstars. I want to see Curry playing like an MVP, and he has possibly only 4 more games to do it.
LeBron seems to be willing the Cavs to victory.
Cleveland is utilizing the Memphis Grizzlies tactics - muck it up, grind it out, make it physical.
So far that's working for them.
Bogut and Draymond Green are the Warriors' enforcers so they need to get ugly. Problem is that LeBron will get more that his share of foul calls.
Curry and Clay Thompson and finesse players. Grind it out has prevailed to this point.

I didn't even know Dellavadova existed until the playoffs began.

Agreed on all points. The problem of the Warriors seems to be mental toughness. They need to go back to their mode during the Houston series. Those bad passes can't happen. I feel bad for Speights. He was benched the entire game 3, maybe for missing that open dunk, but it wouldn't help his morale when he's needed for those quick points which he's capable of. Green is acting like a mini Barkley, always complaining, it will get into his play. And Steph, the title is his to play for, depends on how badly he wants it. He's found a way to escape Della's clamp late in game 3 and hopefully it will carry into game 4. Do or die game. They have to win 1 one the road if they want to be champions. LeBron's homecoming success shouldn't be this fast.
Seems that each Championships finals have such players. It raises their stock and they are transferred/acquired.traded by another team and ... usually the new teams finds out why they were on the bench for so long ... Let's hope Della is not such.
