1. Dellavedova is a glove, the best defender in the league
OR
2. Nobody else plays hard ever, even in the playoffs

Curry got his ass shut down, and could not get a clean look all night. Cavs really might win this series.

I don't think Della shut him down as much as he had an off night.
Disagree there, and the last shot was very symbolic. He had an off night, because he was not allowed to get into a rhythm. Suffocating defense.

All 13 missed 3 pointers. Let's do a where's Delladova on this. Count how many times Delladova has to pick his ass off the court vs how many of the misses were actually contested.

By my count, 3 contested shots. 2 of those were influenced by the shot clock. #delladovaonehellofadefender

Bottom line to me is that I've watched Curry all season, and never seen him have so much trouble getting good looks as last night. If Cleveland doesn't turn the ball over and give him a lot of wide open transition threes, it would seem to me they have a real chance here.

And yes, #2 is definitely true. Nobody gives maximum effort. But Lebron and Dellavedova do.

it's one game, could be a fluke, we'll know soon enough

remember Tom Brady and the Pats were done after KC destroyed them on Monday night, then they "moved on to Cincinnati"

The pic below isn't a coincidence...think the Cavs gained a lot on defense by putting Delly on Curry when Kyrie went down. I don't know why they don't put LBJ on Klay Thompson...Harrison Barnes won't torch the Cavs like Klay did.

alot of guys, especially guards, do not like physical play...delladova was in that dudes body..if you ve ever played against a borderline dirty player, they do make u slightly leery..coming down on someones foot is enough to maybe throw u off alittle

Dellavedova is a solid enough defender but he's not close to elite. Curry just had an off night. Missed a ton of shots he usually makes.

Curry had an off night is all it told us. Too much alcohol, pussy and/or drugs the night before.

It's not so much Dellavedova but the entire Cavs defense - the will not let Curry get off a realistic look - they have him locked up right now

Don't think it has anything to do with the Cavs, GS is just fools gold. GS lacks mental toughness many times over.
