Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

[DJ Fieri]

So, the home team has won every single game in this series so far.

That certainly favors Boston in Game 7.

No doubt.

I think @Montalban, @DorianRo, and @OregonDucks are all related.

Here they are checking into a bed & breakfast on their way to the Flat Earth Convention.

Certainly, but I need you to begin with more of your ridiculous posts so that I can respond with more of the posts you are requesting

How sure are you of that?

My dispensary does sell THC infused beverages. But I haven't had 1 in probably 3 or 4 years.

Aw man, so dependent on others. Typical.

Is he always right about other sports or just the NBA?

Don't sell yourself short. You provide valuable input to this forum as well. Without the clown posts from you we would not be able to have the astute, spot on responses that I provide to the board. Give yourself a break. You are a novice but we all were at some point when we were beginners.

He used to be always wrong about baseball but we banned him from the Giants board so who knows. I'm not a Niners fan so I don't know if he's always wrong there or what.

LOL! Too ridiculous to even comment on. It was the poor play of Curry, Thompson and Durant that was the problem, not missing an aging sixth man.

You obviously don't understand Iggy's role.

The Warriors were playing 4 on 5 all night offensively, which allowed the Rockets to pressure the ball relentlessly. When they threw the ball to Bell or Looney, all they could do with it was kick it back out to one of the guards.

When Iggy catches the ball in those spots, he is hitting a cutter or attacking the basket.

The Rockets are not capable of applying the pressure that won them games 4 and 5 if Iggy is in the court. Totally different game.

Too may wide open 3s missed by the Warriors for that to be the reason.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Yep LeBron isn't clutch yet he has more playoff buzzer beaters (5) than MJ (3).

Jordans opponents were losing by more so buzzer beaters werent necessary.

 

[DJ Fieri]

So what you're saying is if the Warriors win the series you called it correctly. But if the Rockets win the series you called that correctly as well. Got it.

He's straddling the fence.

Did you watch?

Game 4 was all terrible shot selection in the 4th. I guarantee they ice that game with Iggy because they get better shots.

In game 4, guys like Cook and Looney aren't on the floor late. Again, totally different.

Both were one possession games. LMAO if you think Iggy doesn't change those outcomes.

Could be. I was astounded at the loss of poise and throwing up brick after brick in ISO ball. I saw Durant in game 5 miss a lot of shots he normally makes and Curry in game 4 was just awful bricking at least 4 3s in the last few minutes of that game. I think it had a lot to do with pressure they felt because neither guy scored more than 4 points in either of those 4th quarters.
They could have gone to an inside presence with McGee or West to open up those outside shots as well but they didn't. There were a lot of options other than Iguodala.

Their wasn't though.

West and Young provide offense.

Looney, Bell, Livingston and Cook provide defense.

Iggy provides both. They needed Iggy's facilitating and ball handling without the defensive drop off they would have had with West.

Sherman must be new to NBA basketball...
