I ain't making no excuses for dude but I think Curry really was/is hurt.

He played extremely timid. He didn't make the same moves or cuts that he'd used to. Everything was a jumper. He played like the rookie/sophomore version of himself. When a big switched on him he couldn't take advantage of the mismatch. Love and TT played good defense on him almost all series.

Last year whenever a big switched on him it was a bucket every time. They just ran outta gas

That lebron block was huge but this was the defensive sequence of the game imo


Gs down 3 and curry had love on an island,if curry hits the 3 crowd goes crazy tie game and the warriors woulda got the ball back with 5-6 seconds left

C'mon now. No need to try n be different. That block is the best defensive play maybe in playoff history let alone the game

Great D by Love but they been doin that for 2 years now vs Steph. Mozgov and Thompson. When a dude is hellbent on shooting a 3 its not as hard as it should be to guard him. He coulda blew by Love 3 times but cavs bigs stayed disciplined and played the 3

That Lebron block happened with 1:50 left in a tie game several things could of happened afterwards if iggy made that lay up to change the outcome of the game.Love is a terrible defender on the best offensive player in the league up 3 with 40 seconds left we've seen curry pull from damn near half court the fact love stayed in front of him, contested and made curry take an off balance 3 that he missed was more important imo especially when curry hits 3's like lay ups.

I will say this. Find it interesting that they calling curry a fraud but they wouldn't dare to put an asterisk or call the championship a lucky win by the Cavs.

 

[iron man1]

I know Melo hurt! JR and Shump both got rings.

No worries yo. Rose finna come to Knicks this offseason. Melo finna have squad and they bout to dominate shit b.

Watch out for the Knicks b and my bitch ass anit even a fan.

If you don't stop..

 

[Peace_79]

Can't have it both ways.

Either Curry was great, he helped make that team great, And Lebron pulled off one of the greatest Championship runs in NBA history.

Or that team was a fluke, and Curry's a Fraud. And Lebron just had a meh run in the playoffs.

Lucky win?

So name 4 players better than LeBron....

 

[DaBull]

I always used to think of LeBron like a modern day Wilt

the stats and the physical gifts only!!! but he silenced all critics ...including me . I was wrong about the bull . he solidified a Top 5 spot of all time for me. to beat a 73 win team is legendary stuff . warriors lost 2 homes game all season and the cavs beat them twice. I stand corrected on LBJ as a player.

 

[MARIO_DRO]

BRON WAS IN MY TOP 5 BEFORE LAST NIGHT... AFTER LAST NIGHT, HE WILL NEVER LOSE THAT SPOT... DUDE CAN GONE ON AND RETIRE NOW IF HE WANTS TO

You know it's destiny for you to win when Kevin Love plays some good lockdown clutch defense.

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Wonder what the Cavs will look like next season. They definitely need a slasher at the 2 or the 3 who can play defense

Nope. Mozgov.. .MOZGOV , was containing Steph on switches

Steph doesn't work in the mid range enough. Not downplaying those bigs at all but when a nigga JUST wants to shoot a 3 and you can give him the layup, its not AS hard as it looks

to just guard that. Not easy, but to compare, no big would ever be ablr to guard a Kyrie, a Wstbrook, a Wall as often as bigs guard Steph

That's on Steph. He's reversing traditional bball logic. At every level, when a big is on a PG whats the first thng you say : blow by him! Steph does the opposite

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Tristan thompson last year was switching on curry and did a good job staying in front he has the lateral speed for a big to do that,yesterday curry crossed him and splashed a deep 3 in his face.THAT is why I said loves defensive sequence was impressive and the biggest of the game

 

[ghost!]

ehh i would go with Lebron's block being bigger only for the simple fact, iggy's lay up could of change the momentum of the game and the degree of difficulty it is to run full speed and timing to a chase down a lay up now many can come close to doing that....what Love did was nice, but everybody and their grandmother knew all Curry wanted to do was shoot the 3. he wasnt gonna do anything else. Plus his shot wasnt fallen all series long, so there was a probable chance he wouldnt of made it had he had a clearer look. IMO.

 

[Ghostdenithegawd]

Now niggas going to downplay steph abilities I can't with u niggas

 

[ghost!]

Now niggas going to downplay steph abilities I can't with u niggas

[Rum Middleton]

So name 4 players better than LeBron....
