Peanut Butter Delly time baby!!!

Im predicting Delly to have a career series and carry the Cavs to a championship.

What a rise from the undrafted guard.

Too much isolation - not enough ball movement. NBA basketball is not as entertaining as it could be.

Someone in the Cavs lineup needs to step up and help Lebron out, almost 40 shots in just the first game wont win them the series no matter how many he drops.

Throw in any stats you want anon^ there is a huge difference to how they used him today compared with previously in the last series. Agree not a great impact but given more of an opportunity I think we could see him become very valuable.

No excuses, he didn't play that great today. Stop being so butthurt when an Aussie player doesn't live up to your beast mode fantasy.

Lebron James is a massive ball hog. He only passes if he feels it will lead directly to an assist - hence give him a stat. I saw open guys on both the Cavs and Warriors multiple times, but the stars want to go 1 on 5 and throw up something half baked.

Bron had 40 attempts, and I think others would help if maybe he gave them the ball once in a while? Yeah, he might have a few assists, but he has 90 percent of possession.

Bogut was woeful offensively, and a bare pass defensively - a few nice first quarter blocks and thats it. As for Delly, he barely even got 10 minutes, and barely got the ball. There was little he could do in the time he was given.

Overall - boring game for me. I think NBA needs to learn a few things from the Europeans about team play

By that logic, no one can ever criticise a player - politician, or public figure of any kind.

Lebron James is a great player, but he is a ball hog.

Your's wasn't even criticism. It didn't even make sense. As a professional athlete worth more than the total GDP of a small african nation, he is subject to criticism. Your criticism of me amounted to telling me that I am not in the NBA? I could kind of figure that myself...

By your logic, anyone doing anything is above criticism. Your criticism of me was nonsense. So take a seat and be quiet before you completely oust yourself as a moron.

Thought GWBs GDP call was absolute bulldust but then did some research.

Lowest GDP in Africa: $300 million
Lebron net worth: $375 million

Lebron James a ball hog? Now I've heard it all. Used to be that Lebron passed it too much and now he is a ball hog. And to be criticized for passing it when you think that you will get an assist - isn't that the whole point? To pass when you think your team can score from it? Would hate to be a great in this era, you get criticized no matter what you do.

Good fighting performance from Lebron was doing a bit of everything. Interesting to see that the bookies have written off the Cavs as any chance to win the finals now.

Got to love Curry though. Warriors in 5.

Cav's had two shots on the buzzer to win it before OT then lost Irving and lost momentum. We would be singing LeBron's praises if one of those shots had hit their mark. Fickle!

A boring game???!! Game 1 goes to OT with some amazing shots, dunks, plays etc What more do you want to see? And then apparently European basketball where you are lucky to see games above 80 is what the NBA should follow.... okay then.

most of the season Delly hasn't been expected to be a ball handler and he only ever plays when a primary ball handler is on the court, aka lebron, kyrie. Blatt uses him as a 3&D guy and he's pretty alright in a pick and roll with TT.

So while Delly and all his quirks are sometimes comical, it's just not accurate to say that the Cavs should be any more worried bc Delly will be handling the ball. It doesn't matter if he takes it up the court, or how goofy it looks, the ball will still be immediately handed to Lebron, the power guard. I'm willing to bet that won't change for the next game.

Imagine a decent defender on him. Delly probably nervous due to the finals, his family in the crowd etc but he made Steph curry looked like Scottie pippen out there

He has seriously hampered Curry. It wasn't until Delly was subbed out that Curry was allowed into the game. I would say he is doing better than "kinda" defending. So long as he keeps Curry out of sorts, he is doing more than enough for the Cavs.

He has also missed some open shots he would usually make. It isn't as if he is playing badly offensively - he just hasn't found his shot just yet.
