What Do Cavaliers Have To Do To Win NBA Finals? | First Take | June 9, 2017

[@RookieN08]

FUN FACT: Steph Curry in Game 3 has more rebounds (13 rebounds) than Tristan Thompson in the entire series (11 rebounds). Not to mention, TT will get paid $82 million dollars while Steph's contract is $44 million dollars.

[@LoganBrock4]

RookieN08 'MURICA!!!

[@DukesVerrill]

TT is cursed

[@mostmost1]

RookieN08 fun fact Tristan playing. half the minutes that Steph is playing. They doubling him on the offensive glass too. Plus the warriors are shooting lights out.

At first glance I thought Al Sharpton was in attendance behind Stephen A. @ 3:38

[@joerichardson2278]

Didn't Max argue yesterday that, and I quote, "Every point counts the same, 1st through 4th quarter", yet today "the lower the score, the more each point is worth, because its a larger percentage of the total points". Both of those can't be true, Max.

[@pisceskid317]

thought i was the only one caught that, surprised s.a. didnt check him

[@WizardGrizzlyBear]

Joe Richardson what they can clearly exist separately and are both true. A 3 pointer is worth the same whether scored in the first, second, third or fourth quarter but every basket is worth an overall higher amount of the total game if the points scores is lower. For example If the score is 80-80 dropping 40 points is %50 of your teams over all score, while if the game is 120-120 then 40 points is %33 of your teams overall score

[@tommyfury4579]

every point is just as valuable, and the less points the more valuable each point is. it's not contradicting in that perspective

[@joerichardson2278]

I can math as well as the next internet human, but ascribing value to one point based on the total scored is in fact making when that point is scored more or less valuable, since the score is cumulative. As the game progresses each basket has to be worth less than the previous basket because the total score is always increasing. Scoring a 3 in the first is worth "more" because its a larger percentage of the total than a three in the fourth where the total is higher. This obviously makes no sense in reality...but is mathematically correct.

[@joerichardson2278]

"every point is just as valuable". Okay cool...so no matter the score, every point is the same. Got it. "the less points, the more valuable each point is". Wait, I thought each point is as valuable as all the others...

But if the Cavs win by 15+ and the warriors play like ass then you can't blame adam silver

[@Luckyboyee777]

Marlon Ndoro I think Silver wants a sweep now that cavs lost game 3 to keep it a series. script b is Durant first ring and perfect 16-0 icing on the cake to create a stir of the greatest team in NBA history. ratings go up. more debate = more coverage = more $$$

kind of question is that obviously win 4 times in a row which is not happening

For the Cavs to win, they'd have to sign Zaza Pachulia so he can take out the starting lineup and half the role-players before the game starts.

[@traviskoller]

Find or build a time machine?

[@3dzilla8]

Did Max just say, "each point counts for more" at the end? Because I could have sworn that a day ago he said that every point is the same regardless of the quarter. Hmm.... 🤔

[@presidentromaric]

the Cavs should look for ways to go to the basket and slow the games not playing fast

[@PROJECT_936_dot_NET]

Fun and interesting top. The comments have me on the floor. Gotta go practice my 3.

[@NPI-iz7bg]

why the Cavs less talented team with GOAT + Kyrie,Love,Korver,TT etc

What the Cavs need to come back and win the Finals? KD turns into Harrison BarnesDraymond gets himself suspended againSteph and Klay goes on a terrible shooting slumpTristan Thompson-Kardashian shows up and actually playsKevin Love knocking down his 3-pointersKylie Irving plays well And last but not least,LeBron explodes for 40 points or more

[@Teagrex]

Technically speaking: they need to win four games in a row, with all odds stacked against them.

[@dolomite205]

Max be spitting true facts.

Dont let this possible sweep distract you from the fact that The Undertaker blew a 21-0 win streak at wrestlemania

[@phongvong8639]

Both teams are welldone so far; but you're questioning what would Cavaliers needs to do on the defensive and effective actions are depending on the evaluations of the individuals, how they're playing and what styles they're possessing compare to our Warrior's.

[@henryraccoon]

Cav need to play sets that put lbj in the high post or low post; therefore, it can create movement and help other role players. Secondly, cavs needs to limit their step fadeway jumper, so that there will has less long rebound which can lead to fast break

[@mvkFounder]

Respect to that warriors fan behind max

[@danielz3276]

What they have to is simple: wait until next season to try again.

[@randylopez6522]

Everybody in the cavs should contribute and be a mentally agreesive..especially the bench players..

not only is adam silver gonna extend this game to 7, he'll disguise as a refree and give cavs bogus calls

"We'll you're wrong for a multitude of reasons", then goes off on his own tangent. You're competing against Skip, Mr. Smith, not Max.

[@JM-xm3yy]

I'm never settled tbh. They may be up 3-0 but I'm not getting too comfortable with that, especially if you're up against the cavs led by the best player in the world

[@ratkovac7]

He does the right play and thats why his 3-5 and should be 2-6, or even 1-7, right plays dont win games, great players do

[@EdzelYT]

I'm guessing the starting lineups for both teams now, Cavs will go small ball with Tristan out and maybe Korver in or Channing, GS will put McGee in the starting lineup

[@themisfits1412]

Win 4 Games in a row? Feel like I'm in Pre-school again.

[@TheLegendaryLinx]

They need to trade Kevin Love for Melo, trade Tristan Thompson (tried to take off Lebrons head off and he sucks) for Plumlee or Serge Ibaka. Time to trade stoner JR Smith with a consistent player like Dion Waiters. Yeah Ill even let go of Kyrie Irving for a true PG Chris Paul (knows how to distribute, hero ball is not the way to go) that would free some cap space for deeper bench. Wade will hop on board for sure...

[@loantastic6140]

[@BlimpCityFeeder]

This 2017 Cavs team is the team that LBJ asked GM D. Griffin to give him. LBJ wanted JR Smith & T. Thompson to be paid and they were. Lost "scrappy" M. Dellavadova to MIL, and got D. Williams in return to "spell" K. Irving. That same GM is not under contract for next year. No one is talking about the Cavs coaching bench, knowing when (MIA) E. Spolestra was making "mistakes" critics said (MEM Coach) D. Fizdale was the "brains" of the operation. Who is the Cavs coaching wizard??

[@MrMarvinbolanos19]

I'm a warriors fan...very simple for Cleveland to comeback this series and maybe they can win this series 1. Need more contributions from the bench or other players except Lebron/Kyrie 2. Give more rest to Lebron , he feel too much tired every game..u can see that in the 3rd to 4th quarter 3. Lebron don't need to pass too much in the 4th quarter 4. Put some more pressure in defense..

[@tobiastinter955]

max is wrong when it comes to kobe and the suns 1) the suns wanted to score and quicken the pace....they could care less if kobe went balistic on them 2) they got their 3 wins by kobe playing an unselfish game, thats what they tried...shots just werent falling

[@MaRio-vm2wc]

Whats soo funny to me is that people (mainly lebron dk riders) are complaining how cavs players(korver, smith, williams) are bricking shots but fail to admit that if harrison barnes wasn't bricking every shot last year series would of been over. I guess you could say karma has caught up with lebron. That ray allen shot was the equivalent to korver which saved lebron career.

[@notimportant1055]

They have to win 4 in a row. Good luck doing that against a team who, when all of their starters are playing, hasn't lost a game since January. And the problem the Cavs have with trying to slow the game down is, they don't have the defense to do it. That's the one thing nobody is bringing up.
