GSW haven't run quite as smoothly as spurs last year all year. Their offense is beautiful, and when it's going, it really hums, but they have also relied on individual brilliance and making bad/tough shots. The pattern of cold starts and the bench (iggy and Livingston) getting them back to team offense has been pretty clear. In fact, some of the stats for on and off court +/- points to line-ups without klay and/or steph working better. You want to let them heat check, but that game 2, they never recovered from the ball denial and disruption of delly and co. This is where the game isn't binary. You aim for good structure, but understand that no plan survives the first engagement with the enemy, and rely on a little luck, individual ability and heart to make up the difference. When you rely on everything but that initial structure too much, the percentages slip away over a long series. I'm still sticking with gsw in 6. But game 3 is huge.

Still, gsw gotta be hot faves.
Still not convinced the supporting cast was that much better than the last year's heat, bar mozgov thought they were terrible.Facewon wrote:Well done cavs. Kyrie not healthy and you still made it a 6 game series.

Get him down to 40 a game with some all star help and he wins.
