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

[GunsUp_ShootinBlanks]

Seriously- who has seen something like this? Undrafted, 2nd year player, St Marys college, Australian

It's so easy to argue with criteria that specific.

I couldn't think of any Australian players besides Bogut and Dellavedova, so I looked it up for shits and giggles. Didnt' realize Kyrie was apparently born in Melbourne.

You're right, but not all those guys you mentioned are on the same level, IMO. It's really hard to say that anyone was better than Wilt, but you could say the same about Jordan. Regarding Wilt, I didn't fully realize how unreal of a physical specimen he was until relatively recently. He was a track star in many events when he was younger. Plus, he was super strong. He could bench 500 lbs and deadlift over 600 lbs. The dude was like a Biblical giant who could also run and jump like an Olympian.

Dude was a freak. Ran a 10.9 100 and won the Big Eight high jump three years in a row.

Lebron benched 500? And dead lifted 600? Damn

great series thus far hambombs. Whoever wins, i gotta say - if this keeps up- its going to go down as one of the most exciting Finals that I can remember in a long time.

The Warriors are so freaking deep and talented and well coached. I think that this being their first time in the Finals has effected them some what- but as it goes on I think that factor lessens and lessens

honestly- the longer this series goes- the better it is for Golden Statei n my opinion because of their depth and how they will continue to get experience in the Finals.

I just guess I have never watched so much Steph Curry in such a short time period. I realize he has been struggling but i am just mesmerized by his release. its so different than anyone elses. He can do it seriously right in the middle of a dribble and then just shoot a beautiful pure jumper mid stride. Its just so strange and mesmerizing to look at.

Wilt was basically a modern day athlete playing well ahead of his time. It probably also helped that good chunk of the opposition smoked.

Should be a good series good luck to you

Luc Longley got jewelry.

Patty Mills as well.

2-1 Cavs....who would have thought it. Lee could be the difference in this series as GS's problem is scoring. Green has disappeared. Bogut never appeared. I just don't see the mental fortitude in the Warriors or the heart that I see in Cleveland but do note that GS could get hot and Cleveland could get worn out.

Bogut is ridiculously bad right now. I've never seen a 7-footer so scared to shoot the ball when he is right next to rim. It must be why he never plays in fourth quarter.

Yeah, he does.

I think that is her Son.

Why would you be mean?

Tristan is handsome...and rich.

Far cry from the #1 Draft pick that was putting up numbers for the deer.

Fug it...let Lee play.

Patty Mills as well.

Yessir.

Australia and Canada should have some pretty nifty Olympic squads.

Might as well. He can't do any worse than the others.

Hopefully, Curry has finally woken up. The missed shots and turnovers are making him look like a choker.

 

[Hambombs]

Also keep Barnes away from LBJ that's light work

 

[WiggyRuss]

40 pts, 12 rebounds and 8 assists average over 3 games. He has been playing very good defense. Has been invaluable as a leader. Whoever said that LeBrons best days are in the past obviously did not anticipate this. I have no clue how the Cavs are doing what they are doing right now.

I gotta TRY and go to sleep i guess.

Cannot wait for game 4- if the previous 3 games are any indication it should be a great game regardless of who wins

Go to sleep??? You better hope that you don't wake up from this dream.
