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

[purguy12]

Yeah, because after all, I was the only person who picked against the Cavs the past 2 series. I was so certain in my picks that I even went so far as to say that the only reason I picked the Hawks in the last series was because they had HCA and the bCavs were dealing with injuries. I've also given the Cavs full credit for how they have played despite the injuries.

Once again, you show us all why you are the biggest moron on these boards. I really don't understand why you continue to post here. No one wants you here, you only embarrass yourself, add nothing and get made fun of.

I guess you figure negative attention is better than no attention.

I got GS in 6 but wouldn't shock me if Cavs made I to 7 or maybe win it. It should be fun. Just sucks we have to wait so long. Its really like a new NBA season now. NBA really screwed up. its like when College football takes that month off. Your not getting the best team to win it. Playoffs is suppose to be a battle now its like hey lets take 8-10 days off and then play a game. LOL there is no reason to have a set date because its not at a neutral site. Hotel/airfare and all that means nothing.

Yes I would love to know his thoughts too lol

In less than 5,000 words...please...

SO let's break this series down:

Both 1st year head coaches.
Not much playoff experience between the 2 teams, besides Bron, James Jones.

Cavs 1st year together as a unit. Golden St lost in the 1st round last year in 7 games. Never really been this far before and to win it all?? Man I don't know. I'll give the edge to Kerr on coaching.

Defense? Hell I have no clue who's better. The West is the West, it's different - faster tempo. Cavs have been better since Love went down. But the way to beat Cleveland is you need a Jimmy Butler type defender on Bron and you need some athletes that can help too.

Offense? Golden st can get hot, but can they hit big shots in the Finals? Same goes for Cleveland. Both teams move the ball really well.

Bench: Golden St is deeper by a bit

X factors: Mosgov, JR, Harrison Barnes, Dellevadoobie, Livingston

Boards? TT versus Dramond Green.. Dam

Bron vs. Clay - this is where I think it gets interesting.

I've always been all about defense. And I always say jump shots won't win you a title. That's why I have to go with Cleveland in 6. Put a little pressure on Golden St and those jump shots get harder. BUt.. Will Cleveland keep hitting their jumpers? And if they don't, will Lebron turn into the Lebron of old.. when he cries, quits, etc..?

Pts are the sam2. 27pts per game. Yes LBJ has more assist(that means his players are hitting their shots), Harden is 1 less asst then LBJ. LOL u guys are nuts. Im tired of comparing the 2. Cavs fans are Homers and only think LBj is the only good player. Im guessing Im the guy on the right and your are the guy with the long blonde hair.

I just want to say congrats to Harden. Had 1 hell of a year. Houston just needs to add some players and they will be back.

27.6 = 27.2?

We've been giving credit all week, bud. You just get pissed that we also prop up Lebron.

 

[Hambombs]

So klay is diagnosed with a concussion and unknown of return until cleared by league. Fuck ariza

 

[purguy12]

Wow Cavs might get lucky . Thompson has a Concussion and might miss the start of the Finals. Wow Cavs might be Fav now. Odds will change.

Klay Thompson of Golden State Warriors has concussion

 

[SJ76]

Hell I really don't know. Cleveland is going to be tested. And they have been draining everything from outside. They haven't lost in 6-7 games?

No u haven't. Thank you see 27 pts per game its the same. cant score .2 or .4 in a game. its still 27 pts per game. U guys make it seam like LBj has 35 pt per game and harden 21pts per game. its 27pt per game. Its the same. and he did it in the west. Against tougher teams.

 

[purguy12]

Ok back to the series. This is a major blow to GS if he misses any games. This would change everything. Lets hope he doesn't miss any time and the 2 teams can battle it out.

I cant wait for this series. should be a good one.

Well his agent just said he was fine. I don't know who to believe.

Yeah that Dallas squad sure was tough on Harden. 130 points given up in Game 3. That's Straight D!

Too bad you don't understand tempo of a bball game, because then we could actually have a discussion.

Lets hope he is fine. Want to see these 2 teams battle it out. GS coming from the Power conference and Cavs coming from well the East. Cavs haven't faced tough comp in at least 2 weeks now and when they play it will be 3. GS loses game 1 they can either fold or respond if Cavs lose I don't think its a big deal just because GS is the best home team. Cavs lose game 2 then they might be in trouble.

Have a lot of great match ups here.

I wish you understood basketball. I will make a poll and lets find out who is better West or East. LOL
U are the 1st person to think the East is better. East hasn't been the better conference in a long time.
Troll Alert

I've said the West is better 3 times. So we've established you can't read or choose not to.


If you understood tempo of a bball game, you would understand that Houston has averaged more shots per game Cleveland has throughout the playoffs.. Tempo is faster + more shots going up = more points..?

Hell maybe you don't get math either?

No u haven't your last statement just mention that's its the same. u are like the difference in tempo. LOL No the West is better man and its tougher to get out of the West and more impressive when a player like Harden or Curry has performed. LBJ and harden both put up 27pts per game. its more impressive to me and most of the NBA world what harden has done. Harden, Curry and LBJ are all great playoffs but Curry and harden has been more impressive. Im sorry LBJ is 11-65 from the 3pt range. what is that like 16%. Please just stop. lets talk about the series. U are getting killed in this argument. I have posted many facts. your opinions make u look like one of those people running into a glass door. This is my last post on the matter.

If you think the west is better now Im happy to help you see the light. If not I don't know what else to say.

 

[purguy12]

Happy Friday 6 more days.

Good luck to Cavs and GS

Lets go GS in 6

Good lord you need medication. I've said the conferences are different 3 times too. Are you pregnant or something?

Its not their fault. They didn't know the Hawks and Rockets would fold like cheap suits.

Klay Thompson was diagnosed with a concussion and is out indefinately. I hope he heals up okay and makes it back by game 1.
