I don't understand why Cavs fans, media, and hoop "experts" think highly of Shumpert. His shoulder got hurt early in the finals series, which may have impacted his offensive shooting. He's known for playing defense. But as a starter, he contributed very little on offense. In fact, his lack of scoring hurt the Cavs in the final three games when Cleveland needed another player to contribute points. He's a guard and not a point guard but a guard who is suppose to score.

Iman Shumpert - Guard (SG)

• Game 1 : 34 min, 2-6 FG, 2-4 3P, 0-0 FT, 6 points
• Game 2 : 36 min, 2-11 FG, 1-5 3P, 2-2 FT, 7 points
• Game 3 : 32 min, 1-2 FG, 1-2 3P, 0-2 FT, 3 points
• Game 4 : 39 min, 2-9 FG, 1-5 3P, 0-0 FT, 5 points
• Game 5 : 37 min, 3-9 FG, 3-6 3P, 1-2 FT, 10 points
• Game 6 : 36 min, 1-6 FG, 0-3 3P, 6-8 FT, 8 points

Ave: 35.6 min per game and 6.5 points per game.
Total FG shooting: 11 of 43 = 26%
From 3-point range: 8 of 25 = 32%

The starting SG for the Warriors was Klay Thompson.
Points scored: 21, 34, 14, 9, 12, 5.

In Game 6, Klay got into foul trouble, and he eventually fouled out.

Over the final 3 games, GS coach Kerr inserted Andre Iguodala into the starting lineup. Andre was awarded the MVP trophy for the series. Andre is listed as an SG.

His scoring: 15, 7, 15, 22, 14, 25.

Shumpert is not in the same league as Klay and Andre.

JR Smith's scoring: 9, 13, 10, 4, 14, 19. Ave = 11.5 points.

Smith made some late 3-pointers in Game 6 when the Cavs were down big. It made the game close and interesting with under 30 seconds left. But Smith needed that kind of play in other games and more consistently throughout games. In Game 5, he scored all of his 14 points in the first half. He missed his last 7 shots in Game 5.

For some reason, Cleveland sports media morons think that Draymond Green did not contribute much to the Warriors.

Green's scoring: 12, 10, 7, 17, 16, 16.
Green's rebounding: 6, 10, 7, 7, 9, 11.

Green played his best ball, scoring-wise, during the final three games that were all won by GS.

Steph Curry's points: 26, 19, 27, 22, 37, 25.

Over the past couple days, the Cleveland sports media sound like typical troglodytic fans. Too emotional. No rational thought. Wackadoos. But sports does not require logic.

Total bench scoring per game:

Cavs: 9, 21, 17, 7, 17, 24
Warriors: 34, 17, 39, 19, 17, 25

Andre Iguodala was the main bench-scorer in the first three games.
