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

[Across The Field]

So if you understood it fine then why haven't you moved on from it? Because clearly my point missed it's mark with you but it's ok, I'm not judging you.

You really want people to believe that Kyrie is 'healthy' after being diagnosed with tendinitis? Now that's funny. In response to your question did I know he could've easily played more minutes...no I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been easy for him as tendinitis has a tendacy to prevent you from playing at full capacity because of the pain & swelling. And considering in the playoffs games are played every other night with only one additional day off for traveling. And no it wouldn't be hard to play that much during the reg season since at most they played two games a week.

And you're correct, you played the Bulls & not the Nets. I made a mistake...so shoot me. Of course those were tougher teams than Boston. But even tougher were the last two teams the Warriors faced.

We'll move on from your first part then.

I never said he's 100%; he's not. Neither are Curry (shoulder) and Thompson (concussion symptoms). At this point of the playoffs, nobody is absolutely 100%. If they are, they aren't playing hard. That said, he was able to play 22 minutes with ease and could've played more if he needed to. The average person can return to regular activity with tendonitis with physical therapy after about a month. Kyrie is a world-class athlete, though, and aside from his 22 minutes against Atlanta, he will have had basically 14 days with the best care in the world. He will be just fine.

I will not shoot you. However, what does that have to do with who the Warriors faced? We're talking about Love vs. Thompson in terms of playoff experience. It has nothing to do with Golden State's opponents at all.

Didn't Love play in that first series? LOL

Before this year no. 3 games against a below .500 team, ok. Does no good now, does it.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Tonya Harding * coughs* Delly shoots < 37%?

Seriously, I didn't know that.

He takes out legs and nets

So is he Lakers or Warriors? Pretty sure he is Lakers then lol

I agree with most of what you say.

Folks expecting the Cavs to get blown out in 5?

I think that's wishful thinking.

Look, Bron is equally loved and despised by the public and your fellow Cavs fans on this site * Russy* has made most here pray for the day that he crawls back into that large hole he's dug for himself.

* Not me,,cause I like the Guy *

Just like the Cavs have no answer for Curry, no Team on the planet has an answer for Lebron.

I personally believe that the Warriors are the better Team and it's just their year. But, I'm not petty enough to believe that the Cavs have no chance.

I just don't think I can put my trust in a guy like JR. Smith.

He and Shump wou;ld need to play " Otherwordly " for the Cavs to win....imo

Hey there! How ya been?

I agree with what you've said and think the series could easily go 6 games. But of course, I gotta go with the Bay boys, being from the Bay n all. And no, I don't think most would put all their eggs in JR's basket.

 

[Hambombs]

Who does GS have other than Curry and Thompson that can shoot, please tell me? I already looked at the numbers, not one player is over around 32% from 3. And yes you said shooters.

JR, Delly, Shump, Jones, and Irving all above I believe 37%

Barnes, iggy, green, barbosa all can hit 3s at a respectable rate but they get to the rim alpt which helps too.

 

[purguy12]

Explain. Can Draymond keep up with Lebron, seriously? No, he isnt quick enough, he guards bigger guys mainly. Iggy doesnt get enough minutes and is aging, isnt the same defender he used to be. He couldnt even defend LBJ when he was younger. They wont throw Klay at him much, mainly bc of foul trouble and it will tire him on the offensive end.

Barnes is their best bet.

Another point is if you put Draymond on him then they would have to go to a bigger lineup, unless Barnes guards TT which would be an absolute disaster for GS on the boards.

Barnes should be on LBJ. He has the size, Speed and athletic enough to guard LBJ. 1 Problem; in the post he would be in trouble.

Dude is like a minature Mad Dog Mark Madsen.

I have not decided if he is dirty or just hustles with reckless abandon.

I hope he doesn't take out either Splash bro.

Accident or not, it would ruin a great Finals.

 

[LAD]

Allday, you in here making Friends with the Cavs fans?

You are a hardcore Laker fan.

But, you have been a believer in the Warriors for years.

I got Splash in 6.

LOL no I think it's more like making enemies with Cavs fans. And yes, yes I am a hardcore LAKERSALLDAY fan!

I'm good.

How is Kobina Smushelle?

I just don't think Bron will have enough scoring help.

The Warriors should glue Klay to Kyrie's ass, especially since he's less than 100.

If you put Bron on Curry?

He will be spent on the other end of the floor and by game 3...dead on his feet.

Barnes, iggy, green, barbosa all can hit 3s at a respectable rate but they get to the rim alpt which helps too.

Green: 26%
Barnes: 32%
Iggy: 32%
Barbosa: 31%

 

[LAD]

So is he Lakers or Warriors? Pretty sure he is Lakers then lol

Well first off I'm not a he and under my profile pic shows the teams I rep...in the order I rep them.

Now I have to think that would diminish his effectiveness from 3.

Well as far as shooting they havent been very good from outside. Barbosa really doesnt count he averages less than 1 fgm from 3. Barnes is streaky. Iggy has never been a good shooter, he can sometimes. And green is below 30%, he can make them but sparingly. Not very consistent shooters at all.

Can Delly dance like Mad Dog though? That's really the only important question.

Negative.

Some people root for more than one Team.

I was Team Warriors too on our other board until they started putting the boots to my Clips on the regular.

When my Team is out, I root for Golden State....been a fan since the Webber days.

That's not bandwagoning.

So a warrior title has no true effect on you...ok gotchya lol

True, but it isnt her true number 1 team. Now that makes a difference. I root for teams but it means nothing if they win, legitmately.
