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

[Black Adam]

My opinion:

More important for, more pressure on Cavs tonight.

gonna be interesting to see if the Cavs can pull out ANOTHER defensive performance like they did last game...

That's all well and good, but the funny bullshit is that he took umbrage to someone calling Beasley an asshole because they didn't know him, but in the very next paragraph he called James an asshole when he doesn't know him.

What's good for the goose, and all that, you know?

But I do know Beasley pretty damn well, and I've been around James plenty of times.

Still waiting to hear why Beasley's an ass hole?
He's no more an ass hole then he is a thug.

Go pull that thread back up if you want to be entertained.
It almost got me banned.

True, but at the time, his status wasn't clear.

Also, the Cavs can defend better when he's not on the court (although he looked very good in game 1 until he was hurt injured).

As long as the other players are/were making the shots like they were in the first 3 rounds, I thought the Cavs would be fine as they were.

Being out vs injured def does change things, but it also for sure let's the others know what their role will be.

Warriors 'should' wear them out, but if you remember a couple week back, I said this Cavs team reminded me of the Buckeyes football team and we all know what the 'experts' perception was vs how the games actually ended.

I also compared this team to the Buckeyes crazy run in the CFP. Still have a long way to go but it has definitely had that feeling. Everybody and their mom picked Alabama. Once they beat them, tgere was no way they could beat an Oregon team that throttled an overrated FSU team. Well we will see how it plays out, at least the series has been entertaining.

I can tell you that Turnup and I have had plenty of heated back and forths over the years and I used to "hold his feet to the fire" pretty good over some of his claims.

Not that it should mean anything to you, but I'm satisfied that his claims are true.

 

[Montalban]

I wouldn't say death, because IMO it would then come down to them needing to more or less win game 6, but it would sure as hell diminish their chances.

I highly doubt the Cavs win another road game this series.

And, before it started, I said 7 games, both teams would win on the road, and that it would be 1-1 after 2.

Me too, because the Warriors have blown one game in every series so far except the Pelicans and they nearly blew 2 in that series. I expected that trend to continue.

Let's be fair.
Give the Cavs some credit.

IF you thought the Cavs were going to win game 2 once it went to OT, raise your hand.

Who in their right mind would say they prefer to have Beasley on their team over James if it wasn't true??

The Cavs actually blew game 1, it want to get technical. They had a lead.
They almost blew game 2 as well. Had an 11 point lead with 3 to go.
The Cavs could be 2-0 now, but it doesnt matter on to Game 3.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

You tell me who wouldn't love having this guy around.

I think we've reached our limit for Beasley references on a Cavs Warriors thread

That alone should be plenty of proof that you are both being truthful and are not in your right mind.

Big game tonight, let's see if Lebron can pull another great game out.

Nice pic. You back to work?

Thanks. Those are my babies.

Yep, back on the grind since Feb.

Wiggy brought him into it...and we just went from there.

Just killing time.

I think everyone has broken the series down as much as possible so far.

I'm more interested in seeing the adjustments from Kerr.

True, it was just a joke, I really don't care. Any convo to make the next 8 hours go by faster is good by me

I think he should bench Curry and bring in McAdoo

LOL I'm sure you do and not surprised!

Big game tonight, let's see if Lebron can pull another great game out.

Lebron will no doubt put up some very good numbers again. It's about lessening his overall impact on the game and continuing with great defense.

Game 1: Lebron gets 44 points, but less than 8 assists and less than 10 rebounds. Cavs play great defense, but the Warriors win.

Game 2: Lebron gets 39 points 10+ assists and 10+ rebounds. Cavs play great defense and they win.

I think in order for them to have a chance his team has to continue to show up & add to the great numbers he's been putting up. But, if he lays an egg in any game imo that will result in a win for GS.
