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

[GenJac]

Lebron hits that jumper in game 1, we're talking sweep. Curry has been shut down, neutralized, demoralized.

I wont say greatest but like I said its will be up there. People are forgetting this is a team(GS) making its first appearance. 1st finals teams have not won in this era. If this was the spurs then I would say yes. Again not a bash They would be in my top 3-5. I have to give it to the Giants beating Mighty 18-0 pats and Boston coming back from 3-0 against the Yankees. bad news for me I hate Giants and Boston. LBJ and these Cavs would be right there. Also winning the triple crown might be ahead of it because no one has done it in so long. So this Cavs team would be #4. Not bad at all.

I believe he said HIS greatest accomplishment. But greatest NBA Finals accomplishment I would have to say also. With what is around him, it is the least talented roster ever and the depth is non-existent.

And the thing is before the Finals everyone was proclaiming that this Warriors team is a top 5 team of ALL-TIME.

Warriors were 1 point favorites in Game 3.... now 2.5 point favorites in Game 4

huh...maybe the injury to Shump and cramps to Delly lol

He's got to be loving all the attention he's getting from it.
It's his 15 minutes of fame.

No doubt. In all fairness, if I were him, I'd be doing the same thing. Dude is setting himself up to get paid.

Slow down with the Matthew Dellavedova coming out party though. We thought the same thing about Jeremy Linn. What became of him, a poor man's point guard that could not propel the Lakers from beyond the bottom of the Western Conference. Three games does not make a trend. There is a reason he is a back up. Let this experiment play out.

Steph Curry better quickly develop a super secret confidential motivation for wining the nba championship!

I'd still rather have Chalmers...
Dead serious.

Exactly. People crack me up when they start anointing labels of greatness based on one or two games. This game is all about match ups. The interesting thing is for as much as the fans talk about his defense on Curry none of them want to talk about him getting moved to Curry because he simply had no impact on Klay. Too funny.

Hahaha or try very hard to crack LBJ's code!

I don't think he has gotten a pass. I hear a lot of negative stuff being thrown around. I have heard fake MVP, He isn't the player we thought, he is just a shooter who isn't shooting, He is soft. I heard a lot since last night.

To be honest he isn't being a leader. Also u are comparing apples to oranges. One is a great player and is in trying to be one of the greats and u have a player who is just An all star type player.

He might be an All-Star and not actually won anything, but the pressure might be just too much. He won MVP and before this series he was being annointed as the best shooter of all-time, now he is going up against a guy trying to be the best all-around player of all-time. He is more than an all-star, or maybe now he isnt. We will find out, it is far from over. So many answers to be revealed.

The only play Delly has had that can even be slightly called dirty was the one with Korver, and all he did was dive for the ball, something that happens all the time in every game. Had Korver not gotten hurt, we wouldn't have heard about it. He annoys people with how much of a pest he is and it leads to other players getting pissed so they whine. The Horford thing was 100% on Horford, national media even said that. This thing with Green was brought on by Green, and there have been hundreds of dirtier plays than that just this season alone.

He's just like Aaron Craft. People hated him because of how hard he played, but if he was on your team, you'd love him immensely.

Sorry, not buying it. I'm not saying that Delly is a confirmed dirty player. But the evidence against him is becoming difficult to ignore. It's happening far too often and it's always with him diving/falling/stumbling or whatever into a guys legs.

Gotta love the ridiculousness of Cavs fans. Insisting that Olynyk, who had zero prior incidents, was dirty. Yet, at the same time, trying to say that Delly's multiple incidents are just hustle/gritty play.

This is really a different situation, this is the Finals. And second of all, I think Lebron is just motivating this guy more than ever if he isnt already motivated enough. I think he is just a hard worker, he isnt a starter in this league, just can be a good role player off the bench, that will give you 100% effort everytime.

 

[trojanfan12]

Riddle:

Why can't Delly's girl give good head?

First correct answer gets a Vwhore fom me.

He took out her knees?

 

[Shanemansj13]

I'd still rather have Chalmers...
Dead serious.

But he doesnt deserve arms to shoot the ball lol.

 

[trojanfan12]

I already said they made the right calls last night and I said they switched up the calls at the end of game 2. Were you not reading?

Shane reads, but often, he does not comprehend.

But not unlike the Jeremy Linsanity stretch Coach Blatt is gonna have pull a Dumbtoni:
I'm riding him like freakin Secretariat" - Mike D'Antoni
