Because they consume 1\/3 of what a drive to the basket costs. He never does it because he sucks at it so he drives and is gassed in the second half. He\u2019s either going to the basket, passing at the last second or shooting 3s. We all know. Might be a coincidence but: MJ, Kobe, Hakeem, Duncan, Dirk, Kawhi. Kevin Durant. They all have\/had a \u201cgoes in 100% of the time\u201d midrange shot to counter a tough team. LeBron thinks he can just leave that shit to someone else but that\u2019s not enough, if you\u2019re the star player you need options and the ability to bring chaos. A good midrange J is annoying as hell for any defense. How the fuck do you guard someone who can shoot\/pass at anytime, from anywhere? The Cavs were too obvious against GS\u2019s defense and we all know that they got very lucky last year. We also all knew that their defense was <em>tuuurrible<\/em>. They didn\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors are not invincible though, the Spurs showed it for half a game (they also beat them 2-1 during the regular season). Intense defense and smart, tall players give them all the trouble they don\u2019t want. The Pelicans new duo \u2013AD\/DMC- aka the Twin Towers might be the answer. Tall players that can do everything at a more than decent rate are the future of the NBA.<\/p>\n<p>The Cleveland Specialists lost to the Golden State Generalists.
