Cavs defense is so bad if the Warriors weren't playing like complete garbage they would win easily.

Bodes well for the series. If this is their best defense after spending two days trying to fix it then it's just a matter of time. Keep in mind this is without their two starters as well, Love and Irving. Are they going to cut their minutes to play better D?
 
Yeah guys LeBron has no post game. What a damn move right there.

His post game is strangely better against guys that are closer to his size. he seems to get a little flustered, or scared of a quick handed steal, when he posts up smaller dudes. It kind of makes sense though. Even if he's lost a step, he's still a better athlete than anyone else his size in the NBA. It's why even at 80% LeBron will be able to attack the basket at will probably for the remainder of his career.

Cavs are forcing multiple turnovers, blocking shots and contesting well. People are overblowing the fuck out of their defense.

A lot of that is due to sloppy Warriors play though. Forcing one too many passes. Cavs bad defense is evident around the basket on rebounding, and on their inability to make switches. Just because the Warriors miss a shot doesn't mean the Cavs didn't play bad defense. That's what happened in game 1. Even though the Warriors offense wasn't at it's best, it was evident they could get whatever they wanted for the most part.

They aren't contesting shit what are you talking about?

They've also made a concerted effort to NEVER let Kyrie on anybody that can shoot.

Yeah, it does seem that way, although that's not totally unique to him.

As strange as it seems, LeBron is probably one of the more effective 5-10 post players in the NBA today. That says a bit more about the state of post players in the NBA, but still.

The traditional post game seems to be getting phased out. Throwing a guy the ball down low and letting him isolate and take 10 seconds to post up and make a move seems inefficient in this era of shooting tons of threes.
 
Now the Cavs aren't even trying to keep pace with them offensively.

So if you're not gonna play your game, and you're not gonna defend, and you can't beat them inside.

Just how are you supposed to win?
