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

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Not this stupid BS again.

The Cavs pulling down the letter means LeBron had made his decision by then?? Get serious.

Windhorst was the one that noticed the letter was online and when he reported it the Cavs were like, oh crap, thats still hosted up there... it looks like LeBron might actually give us the time of day... someone pull that right away.


Gilbert and the Cavs weren't informed of his decision until after the SI letter was posted. LeBron may have made up his mind--- to varying degrees --- at some point before then... but until he tells the Cavs "I'm coming" and the Heat "I'm not coming".... no decision is official and things can change.

Believe what you choose.

And every so often, they even light the river on fire and the whole city has a big ol' cookout.

It's one of the most sacred of festivals in the country.

I loved that one near the end of the game where Curry came all the way across the court from his right to left and picked up three screens along the way and hit the three over Mosgov. That was beautiful! I just love that type of team basketball.

Same here. The restaurant scene in both places, especially considering the population, is fantastic.

For the record... my comment about the screens being "not illegal in any way" was sarcasm.

Just watch the clips.

Montalban... the one you're referencing was the worst one (see my post with the link about Lee). He actually hooks Shumpert by the leg and pulls him over to help take out Delly in one massively illegal screen.

please that tired stuff from 40 years ago?

And if you want to go current day- the flamability of the ocean outside LA is MUCH MUCH higher than Lake Erie. You cant even swim at an LA beach without getting flesh eating bacteria or c-diff half the time with all the closures

This may sound off-base, but I think tonight is a must win...for the CAVS. I guess it wouldn't shock me, but it's gonna be tough to either lose and go right into Oracle and win, or win a game 7 in that place

The perfect word for any poster believing any of the nonsense you are spewing re: James free agency this summer.

Good to hear. I love the hard-working, every man mentality of Cleveland and feel bad that the hey day for that type of man (or woman) is gone with the decline of industry in the U.S.
Warrior fans know what it is like to lose, we have a lot of scar tissue built up so its tough to hurt us but if we can't win, I'd like to see the people of Cleveland get a title. My only problems with that scenario are that it would come at the expense of the Warriors and that Lebron James would win a title. I'm a hater; I can't think of any person in sports, except for Richard Sherman, that I dislike more.

I travel quite a bit for my job and meet a lot of people from different places. I'll say this, generally speaking, hard people come from Northeast Ohio.

The excecution was brilliant though. If you called every play technically correctly there would be a foul on almost every play and we'd never get the game over. I saw it as good, hard-nosed basketball; especially at that point in the game.

I'm in Bath, OH.

What places do you like? Have you been to any of Burrell's places? Parallax? L'albatos? Those are two of my favorites.

I'm sporting an avatar endorsing it.

Agreed. My only beef with many of the people I met in the Cleveland was the overt racism I heard from people. Has that been an issue for you?

Why all the talk about a lake and an ocean?

There's a red moon rising on the Cuyahoga River, rolling into Cleveland to the lake...

Really? Wow.

I'm half black, half Jew, half Puerto Rican-Chinese, 2/3rds lesbian and I have three testicles. I don't think racism is anywhere worse here than anywhere else. I'm sure there're racists here, but it's not like Missouri, or something like that.

Water, dude. It's important.

There is a list of I'd say about a dozen things that totally support/prove that he knew exactly what he was doing, WELL before the announcement?

Do we need to rehash?

Before we rehash whether or not James knew he was returning to Cleveland before he announced it, I think we should consider this: who gives a fuck?

 

[Black Adam]

Absolutely. A must win, the longer they spread this series out--advantage GS. I know Lebron has been spectacular, but if there is a game where he goes into TAKEOVER mode (like Boston Game 6 where he making everything) this is the game. Other guys need to continue to step up when they are open. Defense is the key still though.

hold up, the Cavs are up 2-1 and somehow this is a "must win" for THEM??? sorry, but i don't get that one...

I'm in Cuyahoga Falls. I haven't been to either of those, though Parallax is on my radar. I'm going to Butcher and the Brewer next month. Blue Point is lovely, as is Cabin Club in Westlake. Delmonico's, however, was wildly disappointing.

In Akron, Ken Stewart's Lodge had one of the best strips I've ever had in my life (actually I guess that's in Bath). Diamond Grille is an oldy but a goodie. I want to check out Dante Bocuzzi's place, DBA, soon.

In Cuyahoga Falls, I go to Burntwood Tavern occasionally, and I really like The Merchant and Craft Beer (really original name, right?).
