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

[Shanemansj13]

Up 11 with 3 to go. They cant let big leads go like that. They did go to the Hack-A-Tristan a couple times, but still.

 

[Black Adam]

this is the one that killed me, though...

 

[Shanemansj13]

JR Smith:

1. Fouls Curry in the backcourt. 2 free throws

2. Fouls Barnes on dunk for 3 point play

3. Fouls Curry on step-in move by point line

 

[Shanemansj13]

Draymond grabs players arms on jump balls. What a punk ass lol

 

[trojanfan12]

You're talking about his fire up a bowl power, right?

In Beasley's honor, I think I'll fire one up right now.

 

[Shanemansj13]

At 1:36 with the shot clock running down Lebron got hacked across the arm, it was the easiest call ever. Ref was standing right there, dont know what happened there.


Btw...just rewatching it. Not bitching lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

Shump misses a fastbreak layup up 1 with 1:20 to go. Pathetic

 

[Shanemansj13]

At 45 seconds Draymond grabs Lebrons shoulder on a jumpball. These are easy calls

 

[Shanemansj13]

JR's 3rd bonehead play jumping up on the Curry jumpshot and fouls him. At 29 seconds

 

[trojanfan12]

really the Cavs are down to a 7 man rotation- LeBron, Mozgov, Thompson, Shumpert, Delly, Smith, Jones....thats pretty much it.....maybe we see a little mike miller at some point- but the Cavs are down to in reality 7 guys....you see where the Cavs are at a disadvantage when they dont have Love, Irving, Varejao----- i mean- who wants to go to their 11th, 12th man on the roster in the Finals....

Yeah, unfortunately for the Cavs, I think that will ultimately be their undoing. Lebron has to do so much just to keep them competitive, let alone win, that it's got to catch up to him/them eventually. They have guys playing minutes they aren't used to playing and being depended on for things they aren't used to. Bench players are usually capable of stepping for a few games here and there, but eventually, they show why they are bench players.

 

[Shanemansj13]

At 10 seconds Dellavedova with the play of the game getting fouled and making the 2 free throws

Yeah, we all saw the game. Thanks anyway though.

 

[Shanemansj13]

The refs obviously had GS ML. Terrible calls all against the calls. This is just for the people bitching about the refs

On to Game 3

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I hope the Warriors go big with Speights or Ezeli and more Bogut. Mozgov has played extremely good and the Cavs cannot put him on the floor if Green is playing the 5----

The Cavs defense has been very very good.....

Golden State just makes me so nervous- like they can go off for 12 uncontested points at any time- I WANT the Warriors to go big----thats where the Cavs advantage is if they can play with Bron at the 3, Thompson at the 4 and Mozgov at the 5....

Playing small is easily smarter than playing big for Golden State. Anyone that has watched a minute of this series knows that.

Warriors cant continue to just settle for perimeter shots.
It plays right into the Cavs hands.

As you point out, Cavs are paper thin to start.
Warriors need to aggressively attack using both quickness and size.
Force the Cavs to deal with foul trouble issues.
That's for sure one way to make a defense less aggressive.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

The Warriors have to shoot early every single possession to speed up the game

Don't even worry about the misses...hope the Cavs try and fastbreak the misses and speed it up as well

The Cavs will be dead by the 4th quarter if that happens.

It will take extreme discipline for the Cavs to walk up the court each time when GS is dangling fastbreaks.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Im still shocked how he is some what out of the NBA. Kid was the #2 pick and he has skills it just never clicked

Heat has a team option until June 30th for i believe 1.2M.

Although he'll never live up to his college hype, there is no way on earth anyone can tell me he isn't talented enough to be on an NBA roster.

I'm going back to a Beasley AVI.
Steph's taking a shit since I started using him as one.

 

[Montalban]

They just have to shoot better. I expect a big game from GS in game 3.

I'm expecting the Golden State win to come in game 4. I expect them to be flat in game 3 and get run over like they did in memphis. Still plenty of time to right the ship if we win game 4.

They just need to enter game 5 not down 3-1, obviously.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

You're talking about his fire up a bowl power, right? Yeah, both teams need to chill for awhile and relax

Beasley played all 48 minutes in game 82, and finished stronger than he started.

Not considering OT, someone please explain to me why most starters in these Finals shouldn't easily be able to play 40 minutes +.

Between all the TV tineouts and team timeouts, it really shouldn't be that hard.

To be fair, Beasley had a lot more rest throughout the season.
