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

[purguy12]

great player, but only his nut-riders refer to him as GOAT...

100% agree Great but not Top great or Legend great. Argument is pretty much over after what he did these last 2 games late in those games. Like I told Bk he would really need to win at least 3 in a row to get back up the ladder.

No Bash on LBJ he is Great and maybe thats where he will stay. nothing wrong with that. Just because u want someone to be All time great or Top 5 doesn't make him that. He needs to do it on the court. He is the Payton manning of basketball.

If he wins this championship I will give him tons of credit and this would be a great championship and I would then bump him into my top 10.

LOL I had no doubt Cleveland could win 1 or even 2. The doubt is they'll win the series. Steph won't shoot like that again. I hope you'rehere when your boys lose. Wow....LBJ goes for 44 in game 1 and loses. He goes for 39 in this game & still almost loses. Goodness that's some king.

Started the series routing for GS especially since LBJ did not give the Heat common courtesy to let him know he was out. However, watching this series and what the man is doing makes one want to root for him. Look who is around him and look what the man is doing. Meanwhile, the Flash brothers, Beats by Green, Bogus, Barnes, and Your boy who missed the dunk can't get it done.[/QUOTE]


The Flash brothers (as you call them) & company have gotten it done against 3 all nba FIRST team players & you're bout to see LBJ make the 4th. Pull up a chair my friend & have some patience. Oh and what great players has LBJ faced to get here?

 

[Andresrenee]

Did you see how Cleveland shot lol. And they missed 12 free throws. They have bench players starting except Lebron. Dellavedova shutdown the MVP LOL

I usually don't agree with you, but I pointed out how Lebron shot under 33% this game. Not likely that happens again. If I am Cleveland, I am feeling pretty good right now.

 

[gohusk]

Yup, but the only other guy doing anything on offense was Klay. Give them a game or two on how to adjust to Dellavedova, his defense along with team D was outstanding in this game. But of course ALL credit will go to LeBald. I hope people realize, as much as Steph was the main reason they lost, those that surround him arent as stacked as they make them out to be. But coaching staff definitely deserve the recognition

When he sees the double coming up top he needs to split it and get into the paint. That was just pathetic. He was constantly looking down to see where the 3 point line was because he was so eager to chuck one up. Just let the game come to you. No need to force the issue as much as he did.

Yea they did pretty much what was expected. LOL
Now when the Cavs beat us & we've played a great....even good game then I'll give them credit.

If they were to somehow, unthinkably win it all this would have to be one of the greatest underdog stories ever even with Lebron being on the team. No All-Stars on the roster that can play except Lebron. They have bench players starting. It's crazy they won this game the way they shot. Played great D though

 

[Hambombs]

Great effort by the cavs though. I give them credit. I ever counted them out either

You dont ever have to give them credit, as long as they win games. Dellavedova shutting down Curry is embarrasing. All bench players playing and winning.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Drop Kyrie and Love. Sign TT and Delly to long-term MAX deals lol

tonight was a great win for them. GS also played a really bad game. it was one of those ugly games. It was very entertaining.

Della should have Curry on his lap for the presser....LOL.

eh, i'm STILL thinking the W's take this one in 6, but I DO agree with what you say about Delly/Curry. i'm thinking that better NOT happen again...

Let's see.... GSU has been a little lucky. Got Memphis minus Conley, Got the Rockets minus Beverly, and did not have to play the two best teams in the West in my opinion. Now getting Cavs with no Love and no Irving. Lebron and the Cavs got lucky in the East by playing teams with hurt players but they did beat the Bulls with Rose, Butler, and Noah even if Gason was hurt. Remember, Love was out for them since the Celtics series.

LBJ's teams have beaten great Celtics teams, loaded Pacers teams, elite Bulls teams, a great Spurs team and a Thunder team that was absolutely loaded in 5.

We are about to find out about the mental fortitude of the Flash brothers....

Oh no im no hater. We'll see how it ends. Like i said this isn't the end. I expected them to win 1 or 2.

Think maybe it's time to start giving some credit to the Cavs D?

What great teams in the East???? Lol Stop it please.

 

[Shanemansj13]

LAD said Curry was unguardable. He never made one shot against Delly. LOL

But unguardable in every game

Also got NO in the first round without Jrue Holliday. They've been extremely lucky when it comes to injuries to the opposing teams.

Gasol was only hurt for two games, and after his big game 1, Cleveland shut him down.

I'm thinking this series may end up being better than most are thinking.

 

[Andresrenee]

Yep.........The Warriors fans forget that they almost lost game one. Two good Cavs shots did not go down in regulations and it took Irving going down in OT for them to even win one against Cleveland. This at home where they only lost 2 games in the regular season. Now, they go to Cleveland.....I would be nervous if I were a GS fan with my jump shooting team.
