Chauncey Billups On What Went Wrong With The Cavaliers In Game 3 | First Take | June 8, 2017

[@sinatrasmith4130]

Since Bron Bron wont take the big shot,at least Kyrie have the courage to go for it under pressure,no one complained last year...

[@anthonyclarke2253]

Sinatra Smith im sayin tho. imagine if that went in. They would be hailing Irving a hero instead of dumping on him. GS in 4.

[@lifeisball1170]

anthony clarke was a good look too. created alot of space. that's his best spot from 3.

[@clydekiamco4485]

but he was 0-6 from 3 in game 3. could have just drived and kicked out or something. cause as max said he is 1 of the best finishers in the paint. but that is just my opinion :)

[@TheSecretAgentKing04]

Kyrie had space for a mid range but instead stepped back for a 3. That is definitely not good decision making.

[@Skoshi33]

Max is a fraudulent bitch. He picked GS to win the series, but deep down inside was rooting for VEL to win...

[@emadtalukdar6340]

Steph got 5 offensive boards and 8 defensive boards. Bruh how the Cavs letting a 150 pound 6'3 point guard that is apparently soft get those stats.

[@ytalorafael4578]

Emad Talukdar will be so fucking weird in the future look curry stats and seen 10 r per game , i know warriors is a overpower team , but cavs team is overrated as fuck , i take houston and spurs over cavs team

[@iamyourfather6421]

Emad Talukdar and a triple double last game lmao

[@Tayo39]

lots of time the ball bounces the rebounders direction....not like he outran or outjumped people to get all his boards (like Kyrie did on one of his)

[@iamyourfather6421]

Tayo39 bruh he had double digit assist the past 2 games no excuses

[@teej783]

Because both teams do not wait until teammates are in the position to rebound before taking really long shots. Basic fundamental. Of course on the Warriors, everyone is outside waiting for a chance at a 3 point shot. Curry hustles for loose balls.

[@PudWhacker]

Cavs fan throughout the NBA season: Start of season: Endless 3-1 jokes. After Christmas game: "Doesn't matter if you have KD, we can still win. Finals is ours." After warriors win vs. Cavs: "Doesn't matter, its just a regular season game. Lebron wasn't trying." Before finals: "Get ready to be swept!" After game 1: "Just a feel out game, we'll take game 2." After game 2: "Game 3 is ours, we got homecourt advantage" After game 3: "This is unfair. You guys really need KD to win??" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@TheKasumi29]

RainFlop .. hilarious !! 😂😂😂😂

[@erichenry6329]

Golden state fans /|\ take all that time to write that. Cavs fans. Congrats you beat a cavs team with 3 of 4 best players out. Matt deli was 2nd best player to LBJ. The next year blow a 3-1 lead. The next year pick up 2 or 3rd best player in the NBA. And up 3-0. What is there to say? Cavs pick up a few good role players maybe even PG13 and come back and kick that ass next year. And the year after. Thing is cavs would be playing the spurs if your dirty ass players didn't break ppl ankles when they go up for a shoot

[@sdsoda4521]

Eric Henry 16-0

[@christinatoy223]

RainFlop Cav fans not liking this comment looool

[@boogieloo1831]

S D Soda - this means nothing today. Both of these superteams faced no competition in the playoffs and reg. season because they have most of the best players on both of these teams. These records theses days mean nothing. Seriously.....ridiculous.

[@Morlich209]

Lebron certainly shows up for big games, but when the score is close in the final minutes of big games (the ultimate pressure moments) he's been inconsistent to say the least over the course of his career.

[@Swaypg]

Morlich209 always

[@russellwestbrook8747]

What I saw was the repercussions of Kyrie taking a bad three and making the whole cavs team crumble in the 4th including Lebron

[@AP90x]

[@Shazayum]

He has more playoff game winners than Kobe. Eat it and sit down.

I like hearing from Chauncey Billups - he's not ridiculously biased, not lookin' for headlines with trash talkin', can tell it like it is without sounding like a transparently unapologetic & blatant hater - obviously knows what he's talking about. Lot of respect for a classy guy. Hope he gets a full-time gig.

[@Tym2024_]

Kyrie made Flat earth IQ shot yo Max is great 😂

[@imfrombmf_7258]

Cole le it is

[@unknownx7252]

Cole le that shit was hilarious 😂😂😂😂

[@freesportube]

Kyrie went into full Westbook hero ball mode. Great when you are scoring, but at key times when you need to kick it out or slow down you will fail. Execution let them down. Blown lay ups and poor shot selection.

[@jaj3238]

freesportube like how lebron kicked out a shot in the paint for a brick by korver. Kyrie had to play hero ball because no one on that team can score during crunch time

[@kapptin12]

but in all reality the earth is flat.

[@Konphetty]

I love how people make fun of Curry defense but atleast hes trying and gives effort and is actually a better defender than people claim he is. When Irving doesnt even play defense at all.

[@Konphetty]

Bayou Beast who said I like the Warriors? Dude shut the fuck up.

[@Konphetty]

Bayou Beast How am I sucking Currys dick ? because i said hes an average defender?!?!

[@jqa16]

They deleted their shits lmao

[@Edi240]

Max said it best about Kyrie with the melo comparison

[@Urbanoperative]

Edibeonit Stop it lol... For 70 years elite 1v1 scorers have been winning rings. Kyrie won the damn finals for CLE last season & yall say the ONLY reason the Cavs lost in 2015 is because Kyrie & love werent there right?

[@zuhairsomjee1993]

Wesley Bryant kyrie does very little for Cleveland, the only reason he even gets those drives is because he has single coverage all game because of Lebron

[@willemdee]

The Warriors are clearly the better team that's where the Cavs went wrong lol

[@guido7248]

What I saw with Cleveland was LeBron trying to get a triple double instead of attacking all those foul trouble defensive players. While they were ahead LeBron kept trying to get the last 2 assists

[@burneraccount7703]

Guido72 was surprised they didn't make draymond foul out once he got his 5th one

[@forevergooner4400]

Guido72 I thought I was the only thinking he was chasing stat.

[@leroyrodgers6089]

Guido I completely agree, Draymond was on 5 for the entire 4th quarter, I figured Bron would just keep attacking to get him out lol. Like the refs were giving the Cavs calls. I don't know what he was thinking. They would have won if he kept driving and finished at the hoop himself and he would have fouled Draymond out which would have cemented the victory. Now we get the lesweep

[@erichenry6329]

Green got his 5th Gould with 3:42 to go in the 4th. That's not the sole 4th. And LBJ was the one to draw the last 2 on green.

[@gmoneycortes1661]

The referees gave Cavaliers a chance, they called every little touch a foul. But they still managed to lose.

[@JBbisem]

Here's what I don't understand, how come no one is talking about the fact that Kevin Love had a bad game and even got injured in Game 3? In the first and second quarter he was the best player at protecting the rim, he got so many rebounds. Now about the bad part of his game, if everyone remembers that Kevin Love's 3 pointers were crucial to the Cavs beating the Celtics. He was raining shots in those games. And I think that him doing that takes the pressure away from Kyrie and Lebron. So if Kevin Love is firing on all cylinders in Game 3 with Kyrie and Lebron on fire like they were...doesn't the game end different?

[@bobbyvalentino6773]

Agreed bro. Goes to show no one ever took Love serious whatsoever lol

[@Euclides287]

So you're telling me these guys, *Durant* - 2nd pick *Curry* - 7th pick *Iguodala* - 9th pick *Thompson* - 11th pick *McGee* - 18th pick *Green* - 5th pick 2nd rd are annihilating these guys? *James* - 1st pick *Irving* - 1st pick *Dk Williams* - 2nd pick *Dn Williams* - 3rd pick *Thompson* - 4th pick *Love* - 5th pick What a shame for a team that was *bought* being schooled by a team that was *built*.

[@StefveoX]

Cletus Spuckler lol you're destroying yourself with that argument. Durant wasn't "*bought*"? He was drafted by golden state? Come on now

[@raphaelcolon5360]

Cletus Spuckler tell me what draft the warriors drafted iggy, Durant, and McGee

[@hibachi-iwnl]

Jasper Jamm curry, thompson, draymond all drafted..

[@karnliberated8891]

Billy Bob Kyrie Thompson Lebron. You were saying?

[@Tanktrapgod]

Bro literally cavs took out Lebron for a minute it was 29-31 cavs up by 2 a min to go . When quarter ends it 39-31 . And kd and Steph were actually resting in the 4th while the cavs were playing their hearts out.

[@capadzcabrera]

It's like Molly's not even there.😂 When she asked Chauncey that question near the end, Chauncey's reaction was like "Oh damn. I forgot you were there."

[@bryanmorales9654]

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Klays perfomance

[@hagopbabochian4054]

bryan morales ppp 00

[@evanstowers8529]

Chauncey is like: "they didn't make their shots in the last three minutes and that's what disappointed me" - that's definitely not something that would have happened if he was there. That's how the Pistons won game after game and how they got to the finals twice in a row - clutch shots. Close games throughout the playoffs and in the finals that they won the majority of.

[@RaiderSteelerfan]

The Cavs' organization were feeling themselves too much in a sense that ever since they came back from a 3-1 deficit to beat GSW last year, they didn't make serious roster changes. Instead they kept the same scrubs to surround LBJ and signed has-beens in the middle of this season. Real champions don't keep the same certain players on their roster. Dan Gilbert and David Griffin are bums...

[@kelvincheekhailoon9596]

Cough cough let be fair here, please go back and remember that it was none other than Lebron James that campaign to get the cavs to sign tristan thompson and jr smith to an extension. And now looking back the front office should have stood firm and say no because it turns out to be a horrible idea. But lebron have to take some of the blame too.

[@buskerbusker8826]

RaiderSteelerfan They have the best bench this season!! Like other teams would start them bench players for 82 games.

[@basketballgod2791]

well lebron sounded iff about making the right moves but everyone said lebron was crying for help when in reality lebron knew what was coming in the finals and everyone was too stupid to see lebrons vision and now they are paying for it. griffin waited too long to get help

[@billantoniadis3050]

very good point bro..100% on the money............................

[@kelvincheekhailoon9596]

Dude, what do you want the cavs front office to do , they already owe 54 million in luxury taxes and they have gave lebron what he want since his return. Lebron wanted Kevin Love, The cavs traded away a potential all star in the the form of andrew wiggins and a flop in anthony bennett to get love. Lebron wanted Jr smith and tristan thompson contract to be extended, he got it, and don;t forget this season when lebron was complaining that he need more help.He got more help when the front office went out and sign derrick williams, deron williams, andrew bogut , freaking larry sanders, and they even make a trade to get kyle korver. I am not a fan of dan gilbert but enough is enough, if lebron wanted a more competitive team for once why not he just take a paycut like tim duncan in order to make it happen.

[@Jry088]

KD made the big shot but Steph man, them rebounds were huge. And I know not many people saw it but that spinning close out he did on Korver was big, that took away that little opening a shooter needs and Korver didn't miss by much on that shot.

[@sinatrasmith4130]

And when did MJ have those moments in the finals...NEVER!!!

[@wayneharaseb2258]

He got swept in playoffs 1-9

[@ConstantineAndreas]

Cavs ran out of gas. Warriors are deeper and can rest longer and sacrifice less. Lebron played 46 minutes and was +7 and they lost by 5. Any criticism of him is unwarranted. KD and Curry played 41 and 39 minutes. Lebron and Kyrie played 46 and 44 minutes. That was the difference down the stretch: fresher legs. But also the Cavs just have no depth relative to the Warriors. They were -12 in the two minutes Lebron rested!

[@boogieloo1831]

This is what happens when you have an attitude that you can take games off in the regular season and you never face real competition with a super team, you don't know how to fight and win. MJ demanded the Bulls play every practice game like it was an NBA game so when they played real games, especially in the playoffs, it was second nature. And incidentally, beside his second season when he missed 65 games with a broken foot, MJ missed a total of 7 games during his entire Bulls career - rest, injury or otherwise.

[@bobbyvalentino6773]

I'm six years late, but I agree wichu young man. The only answer Cleveland had was to play harder, hence the blowout in game 4. They tried it again in game 5, but fatigue caught up to kyrie and Bron. And with no real plays, to get everyone else involved, they met their demise

[@learningisgrowing]

With 2.30 mins remaining, up by 6, LBJ gets the ball 4 times, and Kyrie gets the ball twice. LBJ passes the ball twice, misses a contested fadeaway, then turns it over on the last Cavs possession. Kyrie, shoots twice and misses, one shot he got the offensive rebound. Lebron, the Captain of the team, is to blame for this epic choke!

[@theohanna3561]

They CHOKED in the last minute and LeBron turned the ball over with 12 seconds left in the game. That's what happened.

[@charlescooks9360]

Theo Hanna it was a forced turnover with a block

[@han9607]

Still a turnover.

[@JoshuaWSiegel]

6:08 I bursted out laughing.

[@qball2000able]

the warriors defense was to good for the cavs the last 3 minutes

[@astex6560]

I'm a Steph Fan and i would say, do not blame Lebron and Kyrie. they both had a fantastic game..amazing players..Lebron always does what he does best, facilitating, making his teammates better.. he just made Kyrie better in Game 3..he let Kyrie do his thing. LBJ is so unselfish and a willing passer. They just got outplayed in the dying seconds of the game. Excellent game for the Cavs, a little better for the warriors. I won't take away anything from both the Cavs and the Warriors. it was a great game! I don't agree with Max. That is Kyrie's game. He makes those shots like eating his breakfast. Remember last year? He did that to my man Steph.

[@dagoat6889]

Kyrie makes the biggest shot in the finals last year to win it all and no one complained. Kyrie takes damn near the same exact shot in this game and now it's a stupid shot.

[@JosepinoRizal]

Cause he made it.

[@dagoat6889]

My point exactly so if he made it last year, on the biggest stage, damn near in the same exact spot, that shows that it's a makeable shot for kyrie. So how can that be a stupid shot?!

[@connorsmith6517]

Da Goat the only thing similar in the shot he tried last night and the one in game 7 was that they were both 3pt shots. The length of the shot was different, the circumstances, the defender, the amount of time played by kyrie. Very different circumstances.

[@dagoat6889]

Not only were they both 3 point shots but they both were damn near in the same exact spot on the wing. Circumstances were different, but not that much. Listen i think it was an ill-advised shot by kyrie, mainly b/c they should've went for a quick 2 for 1 situation and his momentum in the game was driving to the rim. So one-on-one with klay, he should've took him to the rim or at the very least pull up for a mid range shot. But was it a stupid shot? No not at all. He's proven multiple times that he can get it done when it matters, so I'm not mad at the shot. At least he had to courage to attempt it, unlike "the greatest player in the world"

[@TheKasumi29]

as a warriors fan I see LeBron having almost a triple double each game and the only one playing offense and defense, then he hits a wall in the 4th because he does everything himself besides Kyrie

[@Urbanoperative]

Christian McCaffrey His turnovers early in game 1 decided the game by half time

[@christianmccaffrey7291]

I understand but Cavs fans don't need to panic even if they do get swept LeBron is still playing like the best but you're right the turnovers shoot them. the rebounds are also a huge problem

[@antoniobowden4849]

Christian McCaffrey Tristan Thompson and the coaching is the problem also. that man need to get his rebounds like last year. he let curry got a rebound over him like wtf👉🚪🚪🚪

[@tiredoffools8929]

Christian McCaffrey... Lebron is GREAT no doubt, but his defense has been suspect. How many time you seen replays of KD scoring while Lebron just watching? Dude, I saw Kd drive the lane and pass Lebron and then after KD scores he's looking around him and he was the closest player to KD. I'm not going to have a pity party for Cleveland when they still have a great team. This just wasn't their year.

[@christianmccaffrey7291]

true curry and kd have been putting him on skates or just owning him at the rim

[@deosamriel0]

LoL.... I'm no general manager or anything.... but no general manager in the league would be stupid enough to make that trade.... Cavs fans.... sorry but your acting general manager and your real general manager (LeBron), made their beds, and NOW they gotta lie in it.... and talk about irony.... the assistant coach of the warriors is still getting paychecks from your organization.... and he's​ about to sweep y'all....

[@tiredoffools8929]

Alex J. "This shit unfair?" Where were you when Lebron created a super team with MIAMI? 'This shit unfair?" Lebron has been with two ALL STARS for the past 7 years. The very same years he's been to the Finals, coincidence? So it was ok for Lebron to have an extra ALL-Star on his teams going against most teams that had only one or two, but now that GS has one all-star more than they do its unfair? F that noise.

[@TheSecretAgentKing04]

The Cavs could've won this series, the lack of IQ, and team ball made them lose the game, the Cavs won last year and they could've this year

[@NotExplicable]

Lebron needs to develop a post move to diversify his offensive game in th 4th quarter. Especially In certain situations you need high percentage money plays, that cost less energy, that slows down the game and as a result helps you to get back on defense. Getting fouled on a drive that might miss and hoping to hitting 3s late isn't a certainty in your star players hands isn't good. Especially if you aren't a clutch freethrow shooter

[@VelhaGuardaTricolor]

If KD had joined the CAVS instead of the GSW we would today be talking about the 4th ring on LEBRON's hand simply because the GSW wouldn't have any chance against LEBRON and KD together. Same way the CAVS have no chance against the 2016GSW + KD.

[@TheKasumi29]

Velha Guarda Tricolor Cavs doesn't have Cap Space to do it .. Cavs have one of the highest payrolls in NBA

[@lazytotype909]

[@dupoj730]

LeBron is having to do more than any other player in history. He's just gassed when we get to the end of the game. His scoring literally goes down quarter by quarter bc he has to shoulder the load throughout. Kyrie & company needs to get going earlier so Bron can conserve more energy towards the end

[@joshuaam6987]

Lebron should manage his minutes better.....his best halfs of the games of these finals have been the first halfs. he needs to spread his energy across all 4 quarters...infact...better to start slow and finish on a high. Lebron simply did not close well....he was not clutch and that is the thing about him....you know he will play well during the first 42 min and give you a triple double but you always have a chance against lebron when its close in the last 5 mins cos he becomes just another good player in those last 5 mins....kobe, jordan, bird, all excelled consistenty in those moments or atleast did not shy away from those last 5 mins....and i dont want to hear about 2013 against spurs cos that was just 1 occasion., were talking about consistency

[@Tanktrapgod]

joshua Bro literally cavs took out Lebron for a minute it was 29-31 cavs up by 2 a min to go . When quarter ends it 39-31 . And kd and Steph were actually resting in the 4th while the cavs were playing their hearts out.

[@boqor3780]

To be fair, he played 46 minutes, and everytime he left, they couldnt keep a lead. So it could be reasonable to say a 32 year old lebron cant be playing that kind of minutes, and expect him to contribute down the streach. They were all exausted though, they had to work hard to score a point.

[@joshuaam6987]

Jesus Bggg its not an escuse for him not showing up in the last 5 mins of the game

[@Kickzsmooth199717]

Lebron is the only guy that could even come close to consistently guarding KD on the cavs. Gsw have too many weapons for Lebron to sit out for a good break, let alone 1 minute.

[@Pandabearmadness]

imo lbj had to big of ego to Co exist with David blatt. when it comes to x's o's blatt can coach its just lbj didn't allow the man to do his job. at the start of that season kerr wanted blatt As the assistant coach he turned him and ironically faced each other in the finals. instead of lbj getting on board with blatt the Cavs purposely Phoning in games late in the season. I mean they had a game against Portland that was so pathetic which looked like the Cavs were purposely losing as fuck you too blatt and coaches. so 2015 wasn't a fair finals bc love and Irving both out. 2016 also not a fair finals with a hobbled curry, a suspended green, and a I injured bogut. so lue looks like genius for coming beak 3-1. I'm sure blatt intentions when getting hired was to Implement a similar system that the warriors run and Mr team lbj wasn't having it. you know why bc it takes allot of fucking work and studying. The warriors players have no egos that consume the team and make it about the team not Themselves. they Execute so well and that comes from team work not hero ball. The Cavs players a majority of the time are just standing there nobody moving, nobody crashing the boards you got love doing all the work then you got curry smallest guy on the court at times getting 13 boards in game 3 and 10 for game 2. lbj calls the shots and its pathetic how lbj handcuffs that organization and will most likely leave next year, as a life time warrior fan it was good player after good player traded, stupid fucking Signings so I know dumb fucking ownership when i see it. when the new owners traded Ellis warriors fans booed them out the building. The new warriors owners should be applauded for what they have done with this team not allowing one player to dictate how the team is run. they try so hard to Villainize curry and try so hard with lbj the make him this super star. curry was on the warriors thru some dark days and hung in there working hard year after year. type of player to take huge pay cuts bc curry had good values instilled in him by his parents. while lbj was raised by media and the Masses since a kid. all these expectations of what he was going to be. The nba ruined lbj turned him into this egotistical douche bag.

Kawhi,Lebron> Kevin Durant

[@Tanktrapgod]

Kevin Durant Bro literally cavs took out Lebron for a minute it was 29-31 cavs up by 2 a min to go . When quarter ends it 39-31 . And kd and Steph were actually resting in the 4th while the cavs were playing their hearts out.

[@kaisotto7273]

Kevin Durant you're not the GOAT. Lets be honest, you joined the team that whooped your ass and pretend that you're the best in the world but the truth is, Steph klay and draymond even igoudala make it easier for you to create your shot. You cheated. You took the easy path to win a ring and that's not being GOAT. MJ is the GOAT, LBJ is on the Mt Rushmore as well as kobe. for me

[@tylito4764]

stephen a sounding like k hart, " am i wrooongggggg"

[@dontej3941]

Cavs in 7 !!! Trolling

[@dredog6778]

As much as I want to see warriors go 14-0,I don't want the series to end tomorrow cause NFL don't start until August it ain't gone be shit to watch 😭

[@ronaldwilliams4053]

Yoooooo lol that's why lebron would never be the GOAT 🙌

[@reptilexcq2]

"The Earth is flat" - Kyrie LOL

[@qcoleman3918]

its LeBrons fault

[@gerardrbain1972]

Q Coleman No it isn't. The Warriors are just the superior team.

[@antoniobowden4849]

Q Coleman how is it lebron fault and he carried a shitty ass cavs team. Kyrie and love is good but they cannot carry the team to the finals not even the conference finals like LeBron can. when love was on the timbs he was the best but never went to the playoffs. Kyrie also haven't made it to the playoffs. but right when LeBron come playoffs and finals appearance like that's Goat but one thing LeBron can't do is get the job done when he needed it most so technically it's just the team fault and warriors is a superpower team

[@iamyourfather6421]

it's all they fault lmaoo lebron is apart of that so it's his fault too

[@apt62]

Just like last yr, We all blame on Curry for choking but Harrison Barnes were open all series and shoot 18%! Superstar always gets the blame.

[@chewkie420]

"molly im gone off you,man light some kush, you can get it in the can like some anheuser busch"

[@goldensperm7182]

i tell ya'll if the cavs role players are balling like the gsw role players. cavs can easily win the series, but shit happens.

[@Jalilm17]

Homeless Emperor I don't understand it. They can't make open shots for the life of them

[@goldensperm7182]

Jalilm17 yeah bro like they're nervous or something, i can see the nervousness of kyle and d will

[@michaelaquino2704]

Homeless Emperor Yeah. But our bench is kinds new too. Most have never been to the finals. We even have two rookies.

[@openworld6337]

Homeless Emperor actually if klay thompson balls out... currys balls ouy kevin balls out its like going to be 60 50 60 lmao...

[@tiredoffools8929]

Homeless Emperor, if all of the GS players were playing to their potential as well, GS would still win.

[@frankbj1152]

My boy Chauncey Billups my favorite payer to play on 2K6 back in the day

[@BuddaG438]

Cavs bout to win 4 Straight.For LeBron's 4th Ring.

[@zenandepeter4094]

Campaign OK 😂😂

[@BuddaG438]

ADAJ3 Uhh, since when does having faith count as being delusional you fucking idiot... I'm laughing at you 😄

[@ADAJ3KINGANGEL]

Campaign you won't be laughing when y'all lose.

[@BuddaG438]

ADAJ3 I really don't care to tell you the truth. I just want LeBron to win cuz I'm a Day 1 fan bitch. I'm not a kid and it's not going to hurt my feelings, but I will be laughing when the Cavs pick up Paul George next season. 😆

[@deuceswild117]

Say no to drugs.

[@javislice]

4:22 Steph Curry is outrebounding Tristan in this whole series." In Game 1: Steph Curry: 6 Rebounds, Tristan: 4. Game 2: Curry: 10, Tristan: 4. Game 3: Curry: 13, Tristan: 3. Curry is outrebounding him 29-11 on rebounds. He has 11 rebounds in 3 games, while Curry had 13 in one.

[@troypolamalukingtroysouthe8054]

he bringing back memories of that pistons dynasty

[@dannyblau3850]

no curse with Thompson. that's one you just have to give props to GS. They finally came up with a game plan to neutralize him. It's a group effort of rebounding. when there is a rebound on the floor, most times there appear to be two or three warriors surrounding and going up within and then an outlet they are just trying to tip it to.

[@makgeoff]

How come people don't ever question Lue's coaching? If you look at Brooks, Stevens & Pops out of time out plays, and compare with Lue's that's huge diff.

[@sixersfan72]

I wnt to know why Cleveland didn't call a timeout after the KD 3 to draw up a play being down 1.....

[@yamchimovits9141]

chauncey is chill as fuck bruh

[@jtsctv5]

What about K.Love and T.Thompson? Where were they?

[@BJ3K_RI]

"Those are plays from someone who things the earth is flat"

[@mura0]

People talk about lack of execution with zero points and bad shotson the cavs side. Lets no forget that they didn't score cause of the Warriors defense. If you look at the film, all shots were highly contested by the warriors which makes it harder to score and forces you to shoot bad shots.

[@regulushealing8807]

6:08 Flat Earth LOL WTF!

[@coolguy9330]

Honestly nice to see stephen a back

[@mariglizzy5781]

And now you are the GM of the cavs

[@zackmilholland71]

They started running the clock out too soon instead of getting some easy 2's. Those couple empty possessions at the end killed them.

[@Kidkinsey]

ty max, If he isn't scoring what is he doing?

[@socraticmethods3447]

how did spurs do it with kwai lenord pre injury? this is a coaching and tactical problem.

[@capslockftw0308]

KOBE - King Of Bron Everyday 😁 Kobe all day all year long 🏀

[@SuperOmnicronsj44]

"i lot for them were tough shots" = " i lot of them were bad shots."

[@karkitliu9951]

A journalist for years, and have been covering professional basketball for years, u can't get even one single correct prediction for who wins the final for the last 6 (coming 7 after game 4) seasons? It was 50/50, and u managed to missed them all? Not even a single one? Man u're special lol

[@bigpapa1472]

It is really very tough being a great player, all these medias talking about their mistakes publicly. They can talk, but can they do what they are talking if they are in the same position??

[@Vecna82]

If only cavaliers had a coach like Obradovic yesterday they could win. A european team with the talent of cavaliers players could win yesterday by discipline alone.

[@burneraccount7703]

I missed the beginning of the game was Deron Williams really that bad ?

[@chicano4041]

Just go to the 3:40 mark 😂

[@ismailmohamud12]

This is why Kyrie was so rude to Max when he came on the show a few months later 😂

[@jedreston]

We're looking at the players for answers and we are giving Coach Lue a pass and not asking why he's not drawing up plays for people like Korver or Smith or defensive plays and adjustments,?

[@HiImRawr]

max mad kyrie missed a layup like lebron didn't miss a layup in the last 3 minutes lol

[@shaiwriter]

Max Kellerman was a rapper in the 90's.

[@donaldpace427]

Tristan Thompson is the heart of the cavs if he plays well they win we know what he can do if he cant find his groove they lose period
