 Just posted a very similar thread here and had almost the same points you made!

 I agree with the last 2 but Barnes has to start for continuity purposes and for fit. If Barnes comes off of the bench, you have no one that can greate offense for the Warriors, that was Steve Kerr’s reason for bringing Iggy off of the bench in the first place, maybe have a shorter leash with Barnes in the first quarter but don’t put him on the bench. 

An adjustment I would make is pressure Delly, he can’t dribble, he was pressured into 6 turnovers in game 2, but tonight they didn’t pressure him enough. 

Also I would continue to run Steph off of those double screens, like they did in the 2nd half. They got him open, he made some shots, then it seemed as if he got his stroke and his confidence back. If he’s making shots, it opens the floor for the rest of his teammates. 

My last adjustment is just play streetball rules the refs are sucking anyway lol jk

Pretty much nailed it. One point I’d like to add though is that they def. need to add another ball handler/playmaker to the rotation. Whether that be Barbosa, Livingston or whoever, they need to take the pressure off of Curry. Right now Steph is crumbling under the pressure of being the main target of a high octage defensive unit, and his costly turnovers in crunch time are the result. I think starting Iggy would really help in this situation.

 Warriors have to speed the game up. Stop alllowing James to make every single important decision for Cleveland. I’d double him, trap him, take the ball out of his hands and force Smith/Shumpert/Jones/Delly to make decisions. Don’t give them wide open 3s but make them consistenly make decisions…I doubt they would make the right ones as often as James.

Agree with David Lee needing to play a little more. Green isn’t doing anything offensively from a playmaking standpoint and Iggy is getting left open to shoot. Lee can make plays in the middle of the floor offensively, can rebound and can’t be THAT bad defensively.

 In defense of Bogut…the reason hes not keeping up in transition is because his guards run down and jack up quick 3s. I know theyre great shooters and make a high percentage…but this is the playoffs. That type of offense has NEVER been effective in the finals.

Slow it down at least 3 seconds and run a decent set….

I live in europe so i didnt watch game 3 live and I havent seen the replay yet, but what I felt the first 2 games was GSW leaving someone on island to defend James alone barely any help or double, I think they have to change from this "let Lebron beat us alone" mentality to a "let the rest of the cavs beat us" and send more doubles toward James in a smaller lineup and play a quick, scrambling defense with the other 3 while doubling, its easier said than done but thats something i’d try

 It’s not a matter fo Iguodala starting or not. It’s just that you can’t let Barnes on the floor at this point. I’m seriously wondering if he shouldn’t get a DNP in one game. He’s not giving them anything good right now.
