I know it appeared that GS built some momentum at the end of game 3, but I don?t see it that way. It wasn?t until they were down 20 did they start making shots. At that point, you have nothing to lose and with nothing to lose the nerves are subsided. This is a very nervous team and not only are they nervous they?re timid as well. When they went in to halftime I was trying to picture Kerr?s motivational speech to get this team going, but he?s not an emotional type of guy. He wasn?t as a player or a coach. He?s not going to get in your face and yell, tell you what your doing wrong and try to get you fired up. Obviously, I can?t see what happens behind closed doors so I?m judging by demeanor.
So how about Curry? Does he have these leadership characteristics to pull his team together and get them fired up? Absolutely not. When his team is down 20, can he hit a couple of 3?s and bring them a closer? Sure, he?s backed into a corner and came out swinging a little. The momentum that was built by GS at the end of the 3rd qtr and into the 4th was completely diffused. If anything it has it shoved the dagger deeper.
Cavs have owned a lead for 109 of the 154 minutes played thus far. GS hasn?t held a lead yet after the 1st, 2nd or 3rd quarter of play. They are getting housed on every angle in every game.
This game 3 win will not affect James mentality at all. It won?t go to his head. The only thing on his mind is bringing this city a championship and he?s only two games away. As time expired last night, camera went to James, bent over getting a good stretch. Looked like he was thinking, ?ahhhh ok, two more wins to go and I?m going on vacation?.
Cleveland is the team with momentum and it will carry over into gm4.
Cleveland ML +110 by 10pts or more
Side notes:
- It was funny seeing Curry jaw with James a little. It was quick but I wonder what was said.
- Sometimes James looks like he?s in slow motion and kind of uncoordinated/sloopy, misses a crap ton of layups and takes WAY too many fade away jumpers for his size
- Curry?wtf were you thinking down 4 with 1 minute left and trying a behind the back pass?MVwho?
- The problem with teams that are so good at shooting 3?s? Sometimes they kill ya
- James?do you have Travler?s Insurance? You must?
- If Curry had Delle?s heart GS would be up 3-0
- Jord would listen to nothing rather than espn
- Scrappy Doo should be Cleveland?s new mascot
- GS needs a Leader
