Warriors coaching design. ?
Instead of the Warriors playing the 'Let the others beat you' they went with the 'make Lebron beat you' by taking away everyone else. The Cavs looked out of sync even though they lead much of the game. Lebron almost beat the Warriors on his own.
If you dig deeper, Lebron scored 1.16 per shot attempt but the rest of the Cavs only averaged 1 point per every shot attempt. Curry scored 1.3 points per shot attempt while the rest of the Warriors averaged 1.2 points for every attempt. This means that the Warriors out side of Curry was still more efficient shooting than Lebron and way more than the rest of the Cavs. Steph was even better.
Only 3 Cavs players scored in the 2nd half and OT, Lebron, Kyrie & Mozgov while almost all the the Warriors scored.
If anything, this game only proves that one man can't beat a team. Yes someone like Lebron will have times where he will win a game on his own, but those odds are far less than winning with team play.
The Cavs now know how the Warriors plan to beat them. The Warriors have the depth to grind out every game. Warriors play 10+ deep and will force Lebron to beat them by taking away everyone else. The Cavs play 6 deep maybe 7. Their issue is that their bench is not deep enough to counter balance that plan, especially now that Kyrie
is out.
