    It's weird that they have 11 great players and yet Kerr only played 7 real minutes. Seems like the coach of the Warriors and you disagree.

    Bogut and Kendrick Perkins played the same amount of minutes. HTH.

    He found the 7 that gave him the best chance to win and rode them. But the point is that, a) if somebody gets hurt, b) somebody gets in foul trouble or c) somebody gets gassed, Kerr has much better options at his disposal after that top 7 than Blatt does. If you don't think that matters, cool, we'll just disagree.

    Heard on the radio this morning that only two championship teams ever had their top 6 guys play a higher percentage of minutes in the finals than the Cavs top 6 have played: The 02 Lakers and the 12 (or 13) Cavs. Those Lakers had the two best players in the league at the time. Those Cavs had the best player and two other top 25 players.

    LeBron's the best player in this series, but to pull out a championship with this Cavs team it will require him to be the best player of all time. I don't think he is.
    I think Golden States bench is overrated. I mean this nonsense about guys like Ezeli and Barbosa is out of hand. They have a slight edge. But the next 3 games are schedule over the next week. 3 days off twice. That's a big deal for Cleveland.
    David Lee might have single handedly turned around this series, and before the series we all would have said he was worthless on that bench.

    The Warriors bench is legit.

    I agree the upcoming off days help the Cavs.
    Lee may have been worthless on 'that' bench - but he's a 3 time all-star and, arguably before Curry blew up, GS's best player. He's been injury prone and god knows whether there is some residual effect of being Mark Jackson's favorite.

    I agree but that's kind of my point. The Warriors are deep enough that they could send a player with Lee's talent and resume to Siberia, then unfreeze him when they came to a series where they needed offense more than defense.

    Golden State is deep. This is a stupid argument. Depth can be overrated, but the Cavs are gassed. They have guys playing outside their roles.
