Klay will be mvp if they win imo

 

[Pugz]

they'll give it to steph. would be cool if klay got it.

 

[Paulius]

Theyll give it to steph just bc itd be hilarious if he had 2 rings and 0 fmvps. But in reality, we all know klay deserves it

 

[elcheato]

Curry in the post-season: 26.7 ppg (.458/.407/.909), 6.1 apg, 5.9 rpg, 1.8 spg
Klay in the post-season: 26.2 ppg (.449/.450/.882), 2.4 apg, 3.9 rpg, 1.1 spg
 
Klay is just dominating in comparison to Curry 

 

[Pugz]

someone pin this and unpin the playoffs

Lets not forget klay has to work hard on defense too, each and every possession

How do you know who deserves it when the finals haven't happened yet? Can you see the future?

I was speaking more of playoffs mvp, klay has been clearly the guy, and i expect it to be the same in the finals. Klays a silent assasin

The zen master coached em both

What do you think has to happen in this series for the Cavs to win? Obviously if Steph, Klay, and Draymond don't play well, but like x-factors outside of that. I think that JR is going to be a huge factor and I think he needs to have AT LEAST one unconscious game for the Cavs to have a shot. Channing Frye's play off the bench will be a big factor as well.

Either Kevin Love is going to have to play the greatest defense of his life or he can't play more than like 27 minutes or so a game

I think Draymond is going to make KLove his bitch

 

[cruzg24]

I think this series comes down to 2 factors:
 
1. How effective will Kevin Love be on defense and offense? Can he be able to guard on the pick and roll?
 
This past season they really picked on him and exposed him on defense. He is going to have to contain and when that switch comes when he has to guard Klay or Steph, how effective he is a critical factor. I'm very interested in seeing a Draymond/Curry pick and roll in terms of how well Love guards it. Draymond loves to sag off his man to provide support for Klay and Steph, will Kevin be able to make him pay for sagging.
 
2. How will the Warriors provide support against Lebron? Will Iguodola get as much support as last year?
 
In last years finals, we saw the Warriors provide consistent double teams and giving the Cavs role players open looks. Its obvious that was going to be the plan when Irving and Love were out. But now they wont be able to do that. The Cavs will have to make the Warriors pay with consistent shooting from Kyrie, Love, and JR. I think that's the series right there, how well can GS help and recover when bringing help against Lebron and giving uncontested 3's to the Cavs.

fuck thats good

 

[Mexi]

Kerr wouldnt reveal the starting lineup

Guessing iggy starts again

 

[BwareDWare94]

Defending LeBron is a monumental task, but you have to do it a certain way. Sag off and give him open jumpers and allow Bogut or Ezeli to collapse onto him when he attacks because his deep jumper isn't consistent enough.

Frye's going to get some serious minutes

And when the Cavs bring in Frye, the Warriors will counter with Draymond at C and run him into oblivion with pick and rolls. At least that's what they should do. 

 

[bosoxlover12]

If I'm Cleveland, I only care about Steph and Klay. If Draymond sets a pick, I'm gonna go over the screen to stop the ball handler and let them pass it to Dray. His play style the past series was as if he was Lebron James, despite an atrocious 38.6 eFG%. Let him shoot.

The same goes towards Barnes and Iguodala. I wouldn't leave them as open as I would Draymond, but if the options are help contest a Klay three at the expense of a Barnes three, you take it.

Warriors won't win the series if both Klay and Steph can't score a ton.

Plus, there isn't really anyone for Steph to poach off of now. It worked on Roberson, but it won't work on Shump/JR

 

[elcheato]

It would definitely work with Shump. I wouldn't overreact to his playoff shooting. 
 
Hell, you could probably do it to Delly too, just have to make sure to rotate properly if he attacks the paint. 

 

[Mexi]

Warriors should win easily the more i think of it

Im sticking with Cleveland honestly because i really don't want lebron to lose ANOTHER finals
Hed be 2-5. No no no

Fuck kyrie, love and Cleveland

But dammit lebron. You need this
