2016 NBA Playoff Thread

Well, I don't think any of us saw this coming! From being blown out by 30 to winning by 30? What's up with that? The Cavs win Friday...there back in this thing! And I didn't think that was possible!
 
Taking a knee to the thigh like Klay did is the worst, I've cried like a bitch taking knees like that before lol
 
Cavs' defense was a night and day difference tonight. They had bodies flying everywhere; seemed to completely smother Curry at times. '

I loved the play where LeBron blocked Curry after the whistle was blown.

Ive never cried, cuz Im not a baby, but those do hurt. I'd imagine they hurt even worse when a guy the size of Mozgov does it.
 
I like the idea of Love off the bench. Let the offense of the bench unit run through him; it's hard to get three stars involved all at once. Plus, their bench has had major problems scoring the ball in this series (even tonight).

Love aint a star tho. It seems like so long ago he averaged 26 ppg and went to the line like a mad man.

It was more of a laugh cry, Klay whined about it and called it dirty in the post game, kind of weak.
 
If GSW win the series, it's going to be really tough to award the Finals MVP. Curry playing poorly, Thomson meh, Green is just ok, Iguodala isn't making three after three.

Green has definitely been their MVP thus far.

Not surprised, GSW lost all game 3's in these playoffs so far. Next game is where it will be decided.
 
Cleveland's starting five outscored GS' by 48--that's the most any starting five has outscored the opposing starting five in NBA Finals history.

They also became the first team in Finals history to lose by 30 and then win by 30 in the following game.

Like I said after game 1, the narrative of a series can drastically change from night to night. And it could still change multiple times. I don't expect Klay and Steph to stay quiet for a whole series; they'll show up sooner than later. But I also expect Frye and Love to have big performances at some point.

I have to wonder if he'd look more like his old self if he came off the bench. He'd have more opportunities to create for himself without having to worry about taking possessions away from Irving and LeBron. I'm not saying he would never see court time with those two (obviously he would), but it could help open things up for him. He could help negate the impact GS' bench has had in this series.

Maybe I'm totally off though and Love would choke with more responsibility to be a creator.

I think that Love is gone. Any team that ask him to play defense will get what the Cavs have gotten.
