In tonight's game I think Green overcompensates and picks up early fouls. He becomes a non factor and Cavs win. Back to GS where they lose game 7.
My hope is we get back more to crowding fighting hard through picks blitzing focusing on curry and Thompson. We need to make a hyped up out to prove something Green beat us.
We also need to attack the paint...and hopefully finish at the rim and not like we did in Games 1 and 2
A tightly even a game normally called favors the Cavs.

Sort of an odd thing to read. The Warriors have been called "soft" all season. You would think a more normally called game would favor them since they play more of a "finesse" style of basketball. And yet here we are in mid-June and people are implying that more physical play somehow favors the Warriors. That's quite the reversal, no?

Regardless of what other people were calling them (and I don't agree with ever calling one of the best defensive teams soft)....what do you think about a more physical game being called?
I'm not sure I have much of an opinion, frankly I think that it's a night-to-night thing and if they are calling it close it favors teams that takes it to the hole. So it would be which team adjusts better considering both teams have plenty of versatile big-time scorers.

Lebron and Kyrie's game is centered around getting to the basket and making a play for themselves or someone making a cut to the hoop. If they are getting hammered/hacked and its not being called that's a missed opportunity. I'm upset with the Cavs mainly these two guys showing in some spurts the inability to play and finish through contact- James is the King (no pun intended) of the old-fashioned three point play.
I wouldn't equate fouls to being physical. There is a collage of photos floating around that show James getting whacked/hit/held and the series of no calls that have taken place the past five games Granted he needs to finish better than he has this series. My opinion I think Detroit and Toronto (without Val) are probably more physical teams than the Dubs.

This was one of big factors of Game 4. The Dubs made the adjustment in the second half and shot well from the perimeter- Cavs no such attempt or luck.
The Series IMO has been called with "let'em play attitude" though throughout.
