Series Thread: 2) Cleveland Cavaliers vs 7) Indiana Pacers

[Hambombs]

so Cavs in 6 then?

We will see I guess. I'm not gonna sit here and say that my team will win just "because" I'll let my team do the talking

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

You act like the warriors had no guys out during those last few games. I love how cavs fans get so cocky. Yet I was never this cocky about us winning against the cavs in 14-15. I love it.

It's all smoke and mirrors aka hope.
Cavs fans won't bet on the Cavs to win it all.
Vcash and Avi bets talk, their bullshit walks.

I already made a bet, and I'm pretty sure Gordon has a bet out as well.

Pat Riley has lofty expectations for Hassan Whiteside's future.

"Erik [Spoelstra] and I, we discuss a lot of things about Hassan and how he can better help us," Riley said. "Can he be a 17 [points], 14 [rebounds] and 4 [blocks] guy and shoot 61 percent and 70 percent from the line, which is what I think he is right about now? Or can he be a 25 [points] and 17 [rebounds] and six [blocks] player? I think he can be that, but you have to carve out something more for him offensively." In case it's not obvious, Riley thinks very highly of his franchise center and Spoelstra added that the Heat don't want to put a ceiling on the 27-year-old center's potential.

@WiggyRuss
I said I won't pick apart your list, but Drummond?
He did what better then Whiteside?

I didn't there there was a 1 bet limit?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Me every year? Whatchoo talking bout Willis?

This is funny though...I was looking at the 2016 Finals thread.

It's time to put the doubts to rest. This Warrior team is special. Without question in the discussion for greatest team of all time.

I guess the Cavs beat the best team ever LMAO

 

[LAD]

lol they won't lose a game 7 again

It's not going 7 this season...if they meet up.

And I'm not sure why Cavs fans act like game 7 was their best showing. No one knew who was going to win until it was down to 30 seconds left on the game clock. If just one of those baskets that Curry shot goes in we're having a different convo.

Bogut. Green was out one game and it was his fault. Try winning the Finals without Klay and Green, that's what the Cavs were dealt with. Too many excuses. Didn't that Warriors team have like the best bench ever? The Cavs didn't have one lol.

Cocky? I never once said we would win the title, any year at any point. You guys are the one saying you can already book a championship for the Warriors. The best team ever assembled...you better win it.

i mean- did you feel like you beat the Cavs at anywhere near their height when Love and Kyrie barely even played?

Its def. still a championship- and no asterisk needed---- but if the Cavs make the Finals- and somehow face the Spurs- and the Aldridge and Danny Green go down- and the Cavs are fully healthy- id 100% expect the Cavs to win without a problem.

I mean- I HATE saying this- becuase you just never know- but at some point it gets just overwhelming---- if in '14-'15 Finals- Love and Kyrie played and were healthy and Klay and (lets say Iggy- not even another Big 3 member) Iggy were out- i mean- would you have felt the Warriors even had a legit chance?

But he's not clutch, so it didn't go in.

I get your analogy, but it is not even close to the same. The Warriors needed all 3 of their big guns equally. Kyrie and love together make up about 40% of the value LeBron provides.

Bogut was out, Curry and Iggy were playing well less than 100%. Neither team was close to full strength when the other won.

Yep, I sure did

Same could be said about LBJ with his many attempts. In basketball that's how the ball bounces sometimes.

At this point, it might be more realistic to expect Paul George to be wearing a Lakersuniform rather than a Pacers one next season.

Rumors about George wanting to play in Los Angeles have been flying since before the February trade deadline, and the Pacers getting swept in the first round by the Cavaliers certainly didn't help matters.

And now, according to Mitch Lawrence of Sporting News, George's former Pacer teammates have said that he basically told them that he wanted to play for the Lakers:


"A SoCal native, he's been talking about playing for his hometown team, the Lakers, for a long time. He's never made his long-term intentions a secret within the Pacers' locker room, according to former teammates. He wants to wear the purple and gold

[DorianRo]

I wouldn't be clamoring for George. Sure, if you can't get any talent.. But lakers usually dont have a huge issue of getting talent. A lot of guys want to play there. I would pass on George. Hes NO superstar, and he's got too much of an ego to take a 2nd fiddle role to someone. Hes thinks he's better than he is.

His stock dropped like a turd as well after the first round. Can't even will his team to ONE WIN in the first round? Allowing his team to blow the biggest lead in playoff history? A complete DISAPPEARING ACT in an elimination game? Hes no superstar.

Hell I would take Lance Stephenson before PrimaDonna George. At least I KNOW Stephenson is gonna play hard.

 

[trojanfan12]

@trojanfan12
Dumbest post of the day?

lol Not quite dumbest post of the day material. He can be way dumber than that. It's pretty funny seeing him trying to set up his excuses already though.

I can see it now...Warriors take them out in 5 or 6 and Wiggy will be on here talking about how the Warriors were lucky that the Cavs didn't push it to 7 games.

Clearly, he's just trolling. Wiggy has assured us that no one wants to play for the Lakers.

Seriously though, I love hearing all of that and I want it to happen, but I ain't holding my breath. If it does happen, I just don't want the Lakers to give up too much for him.

Like I've been saying, this is gonna be an interesting off-season.

WTF are you talking about?

I said not too long ago that George COULD go to LA after next year- and that NEXT Summer is when they have to make their move

talk about taking something out of context.

now- if yo uwant him this summer- its gonna cost a boatload and basically wipe out half your prospects....i dont see that happening

just wait it out.
