Series Thread: Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Finals Thread

[LAD]

Whooooo. What a game. Warriors shoot under 40% & still almost win?? Hahaha. I'm not worried at all. I predicted they'd win 1 or 2 & there it is.

To whoever said they hadn't seen a choke job this big in reference to LeBron... Steph just upstaged him..air ball immediately followed by turnover.

let the iggy save go through his legs as well. triple threat of bad in final 20 seconds

Have to give Lebron a ton of credit. I wonder if GS wins one in Cleveland.....

Nope. I bet cleveland beats them down both games. Congrats to the Cavs, soon-to-be-champs, no matter how many times cowboys5sbx dings me with the "bullshit" tag

 

[DJ Fieri]

You can't judge James on his shooting attempts. He has to shoot 40 times in order for them to be in the game

He was posting up a lot and his shooting % sucked.

Well I hate to say it but that is why LBJ will never be in my Top 5 or legend talk. He just falls apart late in games. He is now 2-26 in game 1 and 2 under 3:30 mins and OT in those game. He has missed 4 game winning shots. He missed last 17 of 20 shots in this game,

He was having a great game and I gave him credit and then the ending happen. Overall he is happy to get the win so I guess that is all that matters.

Great win for the Cavs. Congrats. My prediction of 4-1 GS is still in play.

Highly doubt GSW win both in Cleveland. I'm leaning towards Warriors in 6 now

still amazed lebron remains without a techical foul all the yelling at refs. loads of swallowed whistles

 

[beardown07]

Dude went for 39/16/11 with only 3 turnovers

That is epic

how in the world are Lebron haters so obstinate to find fault in that almost superhuman night?????

unreal

Casual fan, but what was his shooting percentage, cuz he was like 4 for 15 down the stretch?

 

[Wazmankg]

"Bailing out" the guy with 36, 16, and 11

Yeah that's I was thinking. I don't watch much hoops but back when I did I don't recall a superstar anywhere near his caliber getting less respect from the refs. It would help if he'd make both once in awhile when they do call em though.

The idiots who are still grasping at Kobe > Lebron

As Horns said earlier, the Warriors actually been a better road team in the playoffs than home team in terms of level of play.

I think it will be 2-2 heading into G5 a week from tonight

 

[Vitamike]

Like I said, Warriors just lost the series.

This is as stupid as everyone who called the series after G1

A few were swallowed when he was getting mugged.

He played 50 minutes tonight, and there is literally no one else on the team now you can count on for scoring. Cavs went iso with him every possession down the stretch

Well I don't expect curry to play this bad again and same as GS overall. Also we are seeing that LBJ is running out of gas late in games so I do think it still can go 4-1 but more realistic is 4-2 GS.

 

[bksballer89]

I'm so disgusted with the play of Curry and Green tonight. Klay is the only one on GSW who played halfway decent for GSW tonight

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

As Horns said earlier, the Warriors actually been a better road team in the playoffs than home team in terms of level of play.

That is the problem for Cleveland.

GS has been a bit tentative at home. The pressure has made them look a bit off at home.

But without the pressure, they have played almost perfect on the road.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Cavs earned it.
Hopefully Warriors now realize that as long as James is on the court, Cavs can mix and match to cover the strengths and deficiencies of both Love and Kyrie.

Hopefully now, the Cavs fans here finally understand why I keep saying championship or bust.

Warriors need to find a way to get some offense from their center position.
It's a glaring weekness that was often overlooked because the Warriors hit so many 3's during the regular season.


Live by the 3, die by the 3.

well hell, if it's over already why watch anymore games...?

 

[beardown07]

Isn't that what happens every single game that Lebron has ever played?


Seriously...the dude is awesome, an unparalleled athletic specimen, but the last five minutes of any game he is in, is so obnoxious to watch. It's not even basketball.

 

[Andresrenee]

Curry was awful, awful, awful in this one and particularly when it counted. 5 for 23 and 2 for 15 from 3s with 6 turnovers and 4 personal fouls. Managed 19 points still but have to wonder if better if he shot much less with Thompson shooting 50%. His -2 and Spreights missed dunk was the difference in this game. LOL.

Lebron got bad calls, did not shoot very well and JR Smith had boneheaded plays. I think the Cavs have a definitive advantage now. Can GS win one in Cleveland? I am not so sure.
