This series is a terrible matchup for him. He can't guard anyone in the Warriors' small lineup. Even if they did have a big that they could hide him on, Golden State would just keep going after him on pick and rolls.
It isn't necessarily that he's a bad player; the guy averaged a 16/10 this season and a 19/12 in the the first two rounds of the playoffs. But his lack of quickness on defense makes him a total liability against an opponent like the Warriors. In this series, the Cavs are far better off with him planted on the bench.
What they do with him this offseason will be interesting. He's always been an awkward fit alongside Lebron and Kyrie, and probably more valuable to another team that can pair him with an elite rim protector and hide him on defense. But it' shard to gauge the market for him. Depends on how desperate the Cavs are to unload him. I don't think they'll give him away for pennies on the dollar just to be rid of him.

I read some article on the series that said essentially that Harrison Barnes was shooting so poorly, it was enough to make even Kevin Love blush.:spinny:
Espn has a clip of all six of Curry's fouls. The one going for a steal on Irving I could see being a good play, the others were all correct calls and/or stupid plays by Curry. Then you have a few plays where Curry could have been whistled and wasn't or created a call against Cleveland with his own acting.
This is among the more baseless complaints I've ever seen a head coach make, he's simply asking for officiating help in game 7. If you see Steve Kerr on the street it's ok to kick him in the balls because he says it's great.
Straight from the Phil Jackson school of coaching. Phil had a snarkier way of doing it, but still. Shades of the Zen Master last night.
Thought he was a doosher as an announcer, still think so as a coach.
It was just a few days ago this bunch was all calling LeBron a crybaby lol.
Didn't mean CF, just Warriors and their wives. Although it may have happened here too.
Didn't realize he chimed in too.
Had to laugh though reading Ayesha's twitter though about her "bad day." Is there rehab for social media diarrhea?Woody Paige on Harrison Barnes: "He couldn't hit the sides of three barns with a basketball." Ouch. Any chance he responds well to the critics at this point?
Yeesh, Cav's coach complained about refs after game 4. All coaches complain about refs because it has the appearance of doing something.
Yeah, but it feels like the Warriors should be up more. They're shooting 47% from three and the Cavs are 1-9. They're hanging around, though. Shots will start falling. Unless Kyrie keeps doing his Curly Neal impression and sucks all the air out of Cleveland's offense.
Right now it's pretty much a make or miss game. Cleveland 1-14 from three. Golden state is 10-21. Role players for Cleveland have to start making shots or they are toast.
The team to find a consistent third scorer will be the winner. Right now it's basically Curry and Green vs Irving and James
