but on the court it's generally frowned upon. Cavs fan here, but I thought Mozgof was dancing a bit too.
Warriors are a great team, but Lebron is a special player. Sure wish Irving and Love weren't injured.
Dellavedova hasn't scored, but he's a +14 in the half because he shut Curry out completely (his points all came off Shumpert, didn't they?).
James Jones also +14. Tristan Thompson -18 and J.R. Smith -10. Basketball +/- can be deceiving because of matchups but I don't think these are. At the Golden State end it's all about stopping Curry without having to scramble so much that they leave other guys wide open. That only happens when they go small (no Mozgov/Thompson together) and Dellavedova's the one on Curry.
And at the other end it's all Lebron all the time and it doesn't matter so much who's on the floor.
I love Delli's spirit and tenaciousness, but he should stop shooting and he's going to hurt someone throwing his body around. He turned the ball over to end the 3Q and threw his leg out as he was falling to trip the other player. dirty. That said, go cavs.
Delly playing great defense.
Klay Thompson is playing well.
LEBRON IS REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD.
Mozgov came to play.
Okay this 3rd Quarter is playing at an unreal pace. Everyone bricking isn't helping.
So true. If they played every game like it's the finals the season could only be like 50 games.

Come on. He's a standout in the classroom and on the court. http://www.npr.org/2015/06/07/412686718/cavs-matthew-dellavedova-a-stan…
One reason (the other being Golden State's style of play) I'm rooting for the Warriors in 4. Tired of hatchet-men in professional sports who have no other talents. At least Bruce Bowen could hit a three when needed.
Keeping your opponent from scoring is a fairly important basketball skill. He's been man-up on the MVP for 24 minutes now, and the MVP hasn't even scored in that time. And he's only used three fouls.
If you think that's being a "hatchet man" and has no place in basketball, I don't think we're fans of the same sport.
He is a hatchet man. I don't mind players who play great defense (e.g. Mike Conley, Jr.) and keep star players in check. But this guy is a pure hatchet man whose main purpose is to irritate players by any means necessary. He offers nothing else. And I'm not just referring to tonight's game.
If you don't understand why this is good defense, you should pay more attention. You might learn something.
Watch his positioning when the ball's away, notice how it's different from how Shumpert plays Curry, or, much worse, how the other guys play Thompson when Shumpert's shifted to Curry.
You never know when the motherfucker is gonna dive at your knees. Gotta stay on your toes around him.
Yes, his first field goals made in three quarters

Did I just see Cass Tech in that Adidas commercial?
ROFL Mozgov just drawing fouls like crazy

It wasn't on the cylinder, but that might have still been on the rim. If so, I think that's a no-no.
Any part of the ball in the cylinder means it's illegal. If the ball's on the rim, part of it is in the cylinder by definition.
How on earth do you blow that dunk? Just how does that happen?
It's like they picked up 10 guys from the IM building to play in the Finals tonight.
Jesus. This is a mess.

These do not lie.
I think the Warriors are about 3-52 from 3 point range tonight.
