2542795, I see a lot of things OKC exploited that the Cavs can't IMO Posted by LegacyNS, Thu Jun-02-16 01:29 PM
Or at least no to the degree that OKC did...
Like you said, OKC switched on the Curry/Green pick and roll using Durant a lot of times which took away the immediate 3 from Steph. Also, Durant is agile enough to take away an immediate dive to the basket off the switch were as most big are in a trail position right away.
Cavs don't have a Steven Adams offensively. Thompson can do the rebounding part but he's not as powerful as Adams on the low block.
Cavs don't have a Westbrook. Bron is more than capable of driving the lane but he'll be dealing with Iggy a lot. Kyrie can drive the lane but he's not as big and athletic as Westbrook. Also, for Kyrie to be effective he's gotta dish out 8-10 assists like Westbrook if he's the primary ball handlers in the series.
Cavs don't have as many shot blockers either. Adams & Ibaka are pretty good plus guys like Roberson, Durant & even Waiters were making blocks trailing guys driving to the basket.
OKC showed a lot of things you can do to slow GS down but you need similar personnel to pull it off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <---- 5.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlgiritpmfo
