VIDEO: Dan Gilbert's mother offers Cavaliers advice on Twitter
Mothers always know best.
Shirley Gilbert, the mother of Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, recently created a Twitter account, offering her son's team some words of wisdom as they get set to take on the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.

"Slowing down Golden State's 3-point shooting" may be easier said than done, though, as the Warriors are averaging 11.5 makes on 38 percent from behind the arc during the postseason.
As far as LeBron James and the ailing Kyrie Irving are concerned:

Cleveland's size down low, with Timofey Mozgov and Tristan Thompson manning the frontcourt, could give the Warriors fits. Shirley agrees.

Game 1 of the NBA Finals goes down Thursday at the Oracle Arena. Don't be surprised to see Shirley take to social media once again if her beloved Cavaliers lose two straight on the road to open the series.
