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

You only
NEED your legs and arms lol

I would LOL at that statement as well.

Mike Conley didn't play because he was healthy, he played because he is a badass motherfucker.

"Conley sustained multiple facial fractures in the first round against Portland. He was elbowed by CJ McCollum in Game 3 and had surgery April 27. He sat out the last two games against the Trail Blazers and the opening loss to the Warriors on Sunday despite taking part in warmups with the mask."

Delly outplayed the MVP IMO

Get real. Was Delly getting trapped early every time he touched the ball? Or was Delly seeing his defender trying to cheat towards James every time he touched the ball. That's nonsense.

I'd say both coaches at this point have made some moves that remind you that both are rookie head coaches.

Curry was just awarded the top award by the brick layers of Cleveland!!!

0 for 8 with Della on him....nuff said.

Yeah, Della and someone else. They trapped high and early all game. What was Della seeing? Defenders cheating towards James.

Delly shut Curry down. He stifled him and you could tell it got to Curry.

Get real. The Cavs defense is geared around stopping Curry. Are you really this retarded?

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Oh, the one where he clearly traveled prior to the foul? The one of many that he gets away with?

Bad call's are going both way's .... A lot of inconsistency ... And I'm focused on 1 play at a time, that hack was so ridiculously obvious how can you possibly miss that... BUT then not call an obvious travel ... or call a foul when their clearly isn't one.... No consistency ...

Lighten up, Francis. Delly was a huge part of why Curry had such a bad night. He played great defense on him, plain and simple. Get over it.

I agree with Hambombs. Conley was healthy

I will say, the shit with Green holding guys down twice on jump balls, I don't know how refs can miss stuff like that. There were a few other times where the announcers even said "could've easily called a foul there" when the Cavs had the ball.

From the neck down, he was good. However, his face was all sorts of fucked up. He missed game 1 - who knows how that changed the complexion of the series? GS has definitely been the luckiest team in recent memory when it comes to facing opposition at full health, while having no injury issues themselves.

Exactly.... That was another obvious blown call ... I just don't see how these refs miss so much... Then they'll turn around and call some ridiculous call that's not even close to being a foul .. It's maddening trying to enjoy a good game... I mean you expect some missed call's, I get that... But man these NBA refs ... maddening

He played his role on the defense well, which was to stay up tight and filter him into the trap. Let's not talk like this was some 1 on 1 thing because it was a team effort. Curry would torch him if the Cavs left Delly on an island on defense.

It didn't change anything. He came back in game 2 and Memphis stole HCA from GSW. I don't think New Orleans or Houston beat them even with their PGs

 

[Hambombs]

If anyone doesn't think the cavs defense isn't centered around to stop curry are kidding themselves. Probably 30-35% of the defensive attention is around him IMO

Yep. Delly did a solid job staying close to Curry when they stretch him on the PnRs. Tristan Thompson doesn't get enough credit for how great he is at sliding his feet along the screen to give Delly enough time to recover. There's like maybe 5 big men in the entire league that have the foot quickness to keep a guy like Curry in front of them.

Agreed

That's bullshit lol
