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

[Robotech]

Meanwhile the Warriors are waiting for this nightmare to end. Who will step up?

 

[gohusk]

Curry played all right. Klay was the real rally killer. Seems like every time the W's would get close he'd huck up some stupid quick 3 that killed it.

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

Curry is going to go crazy in game 4.

 

[The Crimson King]

I had Cavs in 6 either way

 

[Nooone]

So delly went to the hospital with severe cramps and shump has an MRI.

Great. More health issues

 

[Across The Field]

I don't know about all that. Kyrie and low being out ment your defense is so much better

My take is the opposite. With Kyrie out you get more Della, could be the series changer....

Stay tuned...

I'm talking more about rested, fresh bodies. We are getting insanely depleted yet we just keep winning. Being able to take Delly, TT, and Moz off the bench as backups to Kyrie, Love and Andy would make this series a slaughter. We could literally play any style of basketball we wanted with fresh bodies and play it at an elite level.

With Lebron, All Things Are Possible.

I still don't think it would be a slaughter. People tend to underrate defense IMO. Warriors are playing at one of there worst.

 

[Nooone]

I still wouldn't be surprised if lack of depth ends up killing this team. Every 4th quarter the whole team looks out of gas, and its going to get worse in the next few games.

I'm not, and I like the current lineup. It's definitely working. That said, being able to bring in Love to get some much needed post points and spread the defense out would only help.

I have to guess we're going to be seeing Shawn Marion and Kendrick Perkins here soon. They know they could potentially be down to the final 2 games so they are going to be leaving it all out on the court.

I wouldn't call either an "issue", per se. Neither situation is serious it would seem, based on the fact that both were able to finish the game and play at a high level.

they said the cramping started after the game

 

[Nooone]

i'm less worried about shump

Sure, his body just isn't used to getting as much run as he has the last couple games. Plenty of fluids and he'll be fine.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

lol

could you even imagine replacing lebron with ANY player in the league with Love, Kyrie nad Varejao out----- Michael Beasley has a better chance passing a random drug test than any team would have of winning the Finals!


unreal.

so.....again as I said what I believe was just about a month ago...I think LeBron just might have his best basketball yet to play.

Playing a 67 win, heavily favored, fully healthy, home court advantage wielding, Golden State team that lost 3 home games all season.

LeBron's 3 games

Game 1 - 44 pts, 8 rebounds 6 assists

Game 2- 39 points, 16 rebounds, 11 assists

Game 3- 40 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks

LOL.....hmmm......

oh yah...totally - LeBron DEFININTELY has his best days behind him....lol....I think some big piles of crow need to be eaten.

Once again you are incorrect.
I said James wasn't getting any better, and he hasn't.

I never said he couldn't still dominate games. He's the best player.

I wasn't the one picking the Bulls or Hawks.
I picked the Warriors in 7, and said it was because they have HC.


Here's the thing Wiggy, James attempted to make the same type of herculean effort last year.
He put up some very nice numbers.
The difference, so far, in the results isn't because James has gotten better, it's because the Spurs played elite basketball while the Warriors have looked atrocious.
Part of the reason they have looked atrocious is what the Cavs have thrown at them, but just as big a part is they just miss shots they made all year.
Bottom line, if this Cavs team was playing last years Spurs, they lose 4-0, maybe 4-1.

You were the one on here saying James made the right decision by going to Cleveland which would allow him to not have to carry the entire load. Correct?
Isn't quite working out that way. So if he loses, shoukd he bail again?


So really, nothing I said about him was incorrect. No crow to eat.

Now, let's talk about you.
On Saturday, didn't you claim I made the most outrageous post ever?
The one about Kyries injury not being related to the tendinitis ( in which I was just writing what was already reported).

Crickets from you ( not unexpected), but that's where the crow eating should be addressed.

I disagree with a lot of what you say about LeBron, but this is the truth. Spurs have kawhi which makes life HELL for LeBron. and the heat couldn't guard the spurs. It was that simple.

Golden State doesn't have anyone on Kawhi's level, and the cavs have done an excellent job defensively.

Thats the difference between this year and last IMO

ahh...

And then some....!! Hahaha

Speaking of fluids, I've found that Pedialyte is a relatively good cure for hangovers.

Would it be wrong to strike pre-emptively and drink vodka and Pedialyte?

 

[tabascojet]

So where are the pundits that said this series was over after game one?? Charles Barkley pre playoff assessment of jump shooting team coming to fruition......

 

[Black Adam]

yeah, i know this series isn't over or anything, but what Turnup said about how the Warriors look right now is right on the button. maybe a combo of bad coaching, buying into their own press clippings, or just not being prepared to come out and TAKE this series, who knows? but either way the way it's going is LeClown and a bunch of second teamers is taking a team that came outta the WEST with 67 wins and giving 'em medicine. it's why i said last night that if they DO blow this series it'll be a tough one to live down...

 

[Black Adam]

Yeah, he does.

I think that is her Son.

Why would you be mean?

Tristan is handsome...and rich.

easy now, miss lady...
