2) A different James = a different Cavs
A year ago, Cleveland piled pressure on Golden State because James was posting unrealistic stats (leading in points, rebounds and assists for the Finals). This year he is yet to ‘show up’ and stamp his authority, and evidently it reflects on the Cavs’ performance.
The Warriors have been extremely versatile in their approach and game play. Their ability to quickly switch defence to offence and vice-versa in no time and offering matchups to every offensive formation of the Cavs is proving to be quite a challenge. But if the Cavs wish to turn things around they need their players to help James.
Kyrie Irving struggled in Game 2, posting just 10 points. He hit the first two baskets of the game but then went missing for rest of it. Outside of Richard Jefferson's 12 points off the bench, the Cavs didn't provide much help. The Cavs’ need to up the ante in Game 3 and the fans would be expecting LeBron to dunk in some big numbers in Cleveland.
