Series Thread: 2nd Round: Golden State Warriors vs Utah Jazz

[Black Adam]

I dont need to hope, it's what he has done in the past LOL

STILL hanging on to the past...

gotta love Cavs fan...

Utah is no joke, they are better than every team in the East except Cleveland.

I'd put Boston and Toronto ahead of them, but its splitting hairs. They're on the same tier as the Celtics, Raptors, Clippers, & Wizards. Those 5 teams are #5-#9 in some order.

 

[gordontrue]

It was a Beta Move for sure.. But I can't scold the guy for doing what Wade, LeBron, Bosh, Love, Irving, Allen did.

If we knock Durant.. They have to be knocked first. They all took the Easy way out long before Durant did.

Irving? Wtf?

 

[gordontrue]

That makes no sense to me. That's the reason they got Durant? Because otherwise they would've passed on him? Any team would take Durant and they wouldn't need a reason.

Irving like Wade just hands over the keys to their team to LeBron. Irving is good enough to be lead dog as Wade was. They should have had some PRIDE in theirselves and abilities. Instead, both guys like wussy out

Probably one of the reasons they wanted him. From a talent perspective, obviously every team in the league would want Durant or make room for him somehow. It also eliminated the Thunder as a viable threat in the West in the process of adding him.

Irving? Wtf?

Might as well add Love to that WTF list as well. Love was traded for. He just wanted to get out of Minnesota.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Well, I said Warriors in 6 or 7. Not looking likely today.

LeBron is the alpha male and the others just follow his lead.

First Tony Parker, now Nene.

Allow me to be the first to say... Warriors lucky!

CLEARLY you didn't stick enough pins into your Warriors voodoo doll...

Be right back.

Neither team had a shot vs. the Warriors anyways. So it doesn't really matter

Draymond Green calling other players dirty ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha

No he is not. Not on the Cavs anyway.

When Wade and LeBron joined forces, they were 2 of the top 3 players in the entire league. Irving is nowhere close to LeBron's level, or Wade's in 2009.

To your point, he can create his own shot at any point & practically from anywhere on the floor. THAT is what they were missing & KD is the perfect player to fit that bill.

 

[DorianRo]

That is why the Warriors will probably 3 peat. Unless The Cavs add another superstar to what they have now.

The Warriors were only missing what Durant provides them. They could probably get a little better inside but its not a huge deal with how good they are everywhere else and its not like there are any dominating big men anymore to expose that little bit of a weakness they have inside

More importantly Cleveland doesn't have that dominating big man to expose them in the paint.

I am not sure that dominating big man exists in today's NBA.

Karl-Anthony Towns has something to say about that.
