Kerr called a twenty second timeout when Iggy was taken out to immediately put him back in because he didn't want Barnes guarding LeBron for a single possession

The difference between the two on defense is immense

Kerr made some good moves last night
Barnes has been the anti-Iggy it seems like. He had an alright game last night, but he's had some brutal moments.

He's awful. Wide open on most possessions because the Cavs are way more concerned about Curry,Klay, or the pick-n-roll with Green or Lee, and he still can't shoot for shit.

Bogut is a bit of a liability offensively and a foul magnet, so I can see the change there too. Lee works a lot better for them in this matchup, even if they give up a little inside to Thompson and Mozgov

I'm sure the +/- shows all those things. Bogut isn't super terrible, but in this situation his lack of offense hurts them. A little weird since Bogut does actually have a post game that he could use. Lee is just a far more versatile player in this situation though.

Currently Iggy is Finals MVP should the Warriors win.

Have a feeling Curry will put up good numbers to finish out the series though and win it.

Iggy should win it just for his ultimate trolling of Lebron during and after the game. I can't tell which is worse, Lebron's acting on the court or off it in the appropriately titled film "Trainwreck".

God, that trailer made me cringe so hard.

Andrew Bogut is not terrible. He's one of the best defensive players in basketball. However, the Warriors need less of him to dictate their up-tempo pace in which they thrive. Rebounding will be the aspect in which they completely get demolished, but overall it seems like the offense they gain from it is well worth the cost. And the defense hardly gets lost when you consider their ability to switch with all of their athletic, long, and versatile defenders.

Well, Cleveland just looks fatigued now.

They can stick with the Warriors for 3 quarters, but in the 4th Warriors show some lockdown D, hit their ridiculous shots, and move about greatly. Cleveland goes LeBron mode, and GSW knows whats coming now in those moments.

Warriors should take this Tuesday night.

Well the Cavs supporting cast finally came back down to earth and as a result, the Warriors are smashing them like we thought they would before the series.

As a side note...Iggy, I cannot understand how you are so bad at shooting free throws.

2006-2007 Iggy: 82% from the line
2007-2009 Iggy: ~72%
2011 Iggy: 62%
GSW Iggy: 63%

WTF happened?

Anybody not named Lebron winning it is robbing the award.
Jerry West is the only player to win Finals MVP and be on the losing team. It was 1969 and the first year the award was awarded. As I also recall, the votes had to be in before Game 7 was even over.

He could average 100 pts, 20 rebs, and 20 asts for the rest of series but if they don't win, which they likely won't, it doesn't mean crap. He won't win it then.

Outside of his atrocious FT shooting, Iggy has been the clear cut MVP favorite on the Warriors. However, if Curry has a repeat performance in game 6, it's possible the scales could tip in his favor, or they may go with a co-MVP.

And they're still losing by 2 xD

GS does need to attack the basket a little bit more though. They haven't gotten calls when they have, but if they do it enough they'll force the refs to call some fouls their way.
