James and Lue have both stated the Cavaliers will continue to run with the track-studded Warriors.

That means, the smaller the team, the better. You can afford James, a Durant-stopper, and at times one other big man. Love and Thompson on the floor together becomes a bold move when the Warriors go small.
Despite a sluggish start to the series, Thompson was back to regular form in game 4 with 10 rebounds in 35 minutes of play. Jeff Van Gundy ripped the notion of the Kardashian curse during in-game commentary as Chuck Barney breaks down for the Mercury News.
Hopefully, Thompson has a breakout game 5. Since our Derrick Williams suggestion hasn’t been taken, he could very well be that makeshift Durant-stopper, but having him guard Durant certainly wouldn’t be ideal.
