That won't work. Back then all they had was Barnes as the #2. Now they got Day-Day, Clay, Iggy...shit man, they have a starting 5 coming off the bench.
That said, my Cavs will be better on defense than the Rockets have.
We don't have to send someone out there as old and tired as The Jet out there to guard the 2. Oh, and our Center can shoot free throws.
That said, nobody is ready for that Steph release speed. Never thought I'd see a release faster than Ray Allen's, but his for damn sure is. Anyway, we shut down one of the best deep threats in the league so far this series, maybe we can make someone other than Steph beat us, provided we make it to the Finals (likely, but anything is possible with injuries).
And unlike the Rockets, we actually BEAT the Warriors this year. :3 And Smith and Shump didn't do much on offense to help.
If Kyrie has enough time off to get his feet/knee right, I'll like our chances more than these weak-willed, bitchass Rockets had against the Warriors. That's for damn sure. They fooled me into believing they had some heart when they beat the Clippers. Then I realized it's just that the Clippers didn't have much of their own when they needed it. I remember this is a team lead by the consummate flopper and "the teddy bear" Dwight Howard. Mistakes were made. The first few games against the Clippers were their true selves.
CLE in 6 if Kyrie is >85% for the entire Finals. Being underdog is
very entertaining.
