Should the Cavs go "Big," and make Golden State counter?

If I had to take a drink every time I heard the announcers say "small ball" I'd be lit up pretty quickly. I'm not claiming to be an expert as I only played basketball until my sophomore year in high school. Notwithstanding, why can't Blatt "Go Big," and force Golden State to in turn "Go Bigger." 

It seems like Golden State acts and then we react. Couldn't we turn it around and force them out of what they are comfortable with? If we could pound it in to Mozgov and Thompson we could foul their butts out and force them to abandon their lineup. I understand it would be hard for Mozgov to run out and guard Draymond Green or Iguodala but wouldn't it be equally difficult for them to guard both Mozgov and Thompson in the post. So that it would be a wash either way. They had tons of layups and dunks right down through the lanes, and got a lot of offensive rebounds late in the fourth quarter.

I don't know what the answer is, but I do think we will force a game 7 and at that point  anything could happen especially having Lebron James the greatest player in the world right now. We will see what adjustments Blatt will make. I'm actually looking forward to being back in Cleveland again, and hope we we can dictate the pace and style of play rather than them dictating it to us.
