Even so, the terms of engagement feel set. That's what makes this series so exciting: These teams know each other. They understand what is coming, and how to respond, and the responses to the responses. Now it's about execution, and mettle, and a little bit of luck. The central question is whether Cleveland's ho-hum defense can get enough stops, because the Cavs are going to score. They will run selectively, just as they did in nearly doubling up Golden State in fast-break points last time around. And when they don't, they are going to pull Curry into uncomfortable situations that require extra help away from Cleveland's long-range snipers. Golden State will target Love the way Cleveland targets Curry: find his guy, and have him screen for Curry and Durant. Pachulia will set nasty off-ball pindowns for Klay Thompson, another way of putting Love in the same pickle: either leap out to help, or concede open triples that could awaken the slumping Splash Brother. |
