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

[Heatles84]

Warriors better be careful. They probably thought this thing was a wrap when Kyrie went down. They better get their shit together, as this is the best opportunity to win the title.

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....

Beverley is irrelevant, Conley was healthy actuallu[/QUOTE]

He missed a game (one Memphis lost) and played hurt and no Beverly, the Rockets starting PG is not irrelevant.

Agreed. Who is going to beat a Cavs team with a Lebron, Love and irving and Thompson and Mosgov after they have time to gel? Della > Curry.

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.

You don't know that. The Warriors shit their pants and were taking horrible shots and the game still went into overtime. Kerr did an awful job of adjusting to the trapping Cleveland defense (he didn't attempt to adjust at all actually) and the Cavs were lucky to escape with the win because they were obviously gassed from chasing Curry around all night.

See how easy that is to turn around? It doesn't matter if a team almost won or got blown out. It's one game.

Even rockets fans admitted he was ass lol and Conley only missed one game

ou live by the 3/three ball... You die by the three ball. Simple as that, funny how the Cavs had no Irving, Love, Varejo, and still end up winning on the road. This would be a sweep easily. I'm not a Cavs fan and can realize that. Oh, and that no call on Lebron was mind boggling. Yes he gets calls in his favor, but at the end of the game, no calls or bad calls are heart wrenching. At least he drove it into the basket this time on those last tries, and didn't jack up stupid shots, also didn't take many long ranged shots thankfully. He is one of the best players ever but a whiny one, tho i think anyone in this world would have been whiny after those no calls.
Also, the Cavs played a little more as a team this time. Expect the home games in Cleveland to be physical, every time those Warriors get the ball, there is going to be boos, expect Curry to shrink Further more than what he did tonight at home.

Despite that all being said, if they the warriors lose the series, it's because they died by the three ball more than likely, and took stupid shots. Lebron is going to have to score 35+ points if the Cavs are going to win.

If you're expecting the refs to call a reach in foul on the 3 point line on the final possession of the 4th quarter you're on crack. YOU WILL NEVER GET THAT CALL EVER

I was talking about the drive and he got hit on the elbow. Dont know which one you mean. My adrenaline was pumping all the plays seem alike lol

 

[gohusk]

Where's MJ when you need him Kerr definitely needs to be slapped upside the head after this debacle.

 

[Across The Field]

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

Interesting fact: GS was only able to split season series with Atlanta and Chicago, and Chicago was one of only two teams to beat GS at home in the regular season...

Just saying.

1-1 after TWO home OT games for GS. 3 home games left for the Cavs and the world's greatest player. GS may win this series, but after two games, the Cavs have been the better team. Arguably, the same could have been said last year when the Heat and Spurs were 1-1 and we see how that turned out, but this GS team does not have championship pedigree.

The best teams in the West were the Spurs and Clippers. They beat the Cavs easily. The GS team is a favorable match up for the Cavs.

You have to see to be able to shoot in basketball. Della says hi to the MVP.

 

[Shanemansj13]

This series has to be exciting for the causal fan, but it is killing me! Two overtime games. I cant take another overtime game honestly, I'll lose it.

He was able to see

 

[Hambombs]

Delly outplayed the MVP IMO

Agree. Hard to believe they don't drive to the basket more especially with no Irving to block Curry. Oops..forgot that Della is there to deny the league MVP!!

You know what stood out to me? All night Curry was looking to can 3's every time he touched the ball and Kerr did nothing about it. Then there was that one play where he did break the defense down and he passes up a pretty easy lay-up for a corner 3 by someone else. That's stupid basketball. So if the W's continue to play with their heads up their asses then it's going to be really tough on them. Hopefully that's not what happens. Curry played like crap but Kerr was completely inept himself.
