RandomAct Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Shit, small ball didn't hurt GSW on the boards as much as I expected. They defended Delly like he was Rondo in the first half, and it really allowed them to crash the boards on defense. Thompson got his boards, but didn't murder them like the first 3 games. It might get underplayed in the media, but I think fatigue is easily going to be the deciding factor. Also, Iggy is the only person I would consider giving Finals MVP to if GSW wins.

JRGoldman Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I blame Dolph Ziggler. He somehow made the Cavs as bad at basketball as he is at wrestling and comedy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 If Lebron averages 40, 12, and 9 in a loss we'll all tell our kids where we were when Andre Iguodala won Finals MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydneybrown Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 So apparently LeBron used superglue to get back in the game: "HE'S HARDCORE! HE'S HARDCORE!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't be "most valuable" if your team loses. Same concept in the regular season, really. You won't see a MVP on a sub 500 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I'd give LeBron finals MVP if Cleveland loses 4-3 for sure, and probably if they lose 4-2. He's dragging that team to victories, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 So this is what I'm telling myself: at least we were able to rest guys in the fourth quarter. Also, the Cavs were successful in the first three games by daring Barnes, Iggy and Green to be the offense. In the first three games they weren't and it paid off for the Cavs twice. Last night all three of them played like all stars. There isn't a team on the planet that can win if the role players do that. The Cavs have had a game to look at the small ball from the start and will hopefully be able to adjust and work from there. I'm still expecting close games moving forward.

J.T. Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Too bad that the Cavs couldn't keep up the pace on that defensive surge but we all know that the league is secretly praying that this series goes six or seven games. GS has to hate that extra day off. Yeah, loss of momentum and the Cavs getting a day of rest is going to make Game 5 really interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohtani's jacket Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Does anybody think they'll give Lebron the MVP if Warriors win, or is that a never to be repeated deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I just really don't see it happening. Especially if he plays like a normal person the rest of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 For it to happen, the series would have to go seven games and Lebron would have to go off in the seventh game without a standout performance from a Warrior and still lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Curry's shooting is down but his averages are still good in the 4 games. He just needs one or two great games and his line for the final will give him the MVP if GSW wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I'm 50/50 on it. Especially if LeBron gets Cleveland into Game 7 and plays well. Then again, CLE may win the next two games and the conversation is mute. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 My MVP right now is Iggy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 After game three, there was a assuring argument for that. But it's gonna be hard to shake the image of him sucking wind while Steph Curry just blows by him in game four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_MJ_ Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) I know Delly might be an easy and nice media story and all but anyone who thought he should get MVP at any point in this series is beyond me. He's played some solid defense, hustles hard, and throws a few awkward lobs here and there, but c'mon. Seriously...no. Win or lose, no.
