If curry isn't shooting well that's it..If lebron isn't shooting well he will lock down defensively or get a triple double. Curry is no where near lebron...mvp or not. And cavs may not have the players skill wise offensively but defensively they are playing more as a unit. Still early but this series is playing out how I imagined.

Everything you say is true, Cal, but it is the lack of poise/experience that's killing this team. Guys hanging their heads, following Curry's lead. David Lee was a desperation move by Kerr. Absolute desperation. But he is exactly what this team needs. An experienced, savvy veteran with offensive skills they desperately need. When Curry or Klay are not hitting there is no 3rd option to settle the team down offensively. More importantly, the perimeter defense is so tight right that they need a safety valve and someone who the defense has to honor. Bogut and Green are not giving them that. If they can somehow hide Lee on defense (which should not be hard since TT is not a scorer) then he can be a real game changer (imo).
