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

[DJ Fieri]

If this thread doesn't reach 10k before the Finals is over I will be highly disappointed.

I've been saying that. Bunch of slackers on here.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Probably best to just have both.

Assholes everywhere are cringing at the thought....

Just read this in Zach Lowe's latest column:



Actual pregame exchange between Ron Adams and Luke Walton, both Golden State assistants, as Walton walked by Adams on his way to the court:

Adams: “Luke, did you remember to wear deodorant tonight?”

Walton: “Yes.”

Adams: “Good.”

So far My opinions have changed on both teams in these finals.
We found out GS isn't anything special and Cavs if Healthy would of won the whole thing.
I still think GS will win this but they need to be very careful. They need to win game 5 or they are done.

It would have been interesting for sure. They were fine with it in the regular season but in the playoffs? Would James, Irving, and Love (not to mention Smith) been fine with sharing the ball or would one of them want to be the man and go to guy?

There is no Discussion. Its not even close and after these Finals I think the gap is bigger then people thought. Reason why Jordan was 6-0 in Finals. He would lead his team and find a way to win. I just watched the Flu game and if you watch that you would see that LBJ isn't even close. He drops 38 in that game and LBJ gets a little cut and goes 2-11 after that also 2-5 from the Free throw line.

Im going to go with with Cavs being up 3-1 right now. GS is just too soft to play Big boy ball. Their Go to player Curry has been really bad. Thompson is missing in action. Only player I have been impressed with for GS is Iggy. Iggy has been great for GS so far.

You'd think that looking at his shooting %, right? Not sooooooooooooo fast, my friend.

Delly's done a good job defending him as best he can but Curry only had one bad game where he made 5 of 23 shots. In the other 3 games he made 8 of 17 shots (47%) and 10 of 20 (50%) in the other 2. The one awful game brought his shooting down to 41.3%. So, in 1 of 4 games Delly did a very good job defending him.

And he's averaging 6.5apg to go along with 4.5rpg.

Blatt needs to make changes if he wants to win. Its time to play Marion and perkins a little in the 1st half to give some of his guys rest. Same with Mike Miller. It will make a difference in the 2nd half.

Curry has been really bad. He only had 1 good game and 1 Good Q of a bad game that made him look like he had a good game. His turnovers have been really bad. I am not impressed with Curry. Right not Iggy is GS MVP.

5 turnovers a game is his average. All in all his only terrible game was game 2. He also played like crap for 3/4 of game 3. When you're holding the NBA MVP trophy you're held to a higher standard. Curry has not held up to that standard.

Let's really get this discussion going... Kobe Bryant is the 50th best guard...in California

I agree with you on all accounts....But in all fairness...a head injury is a bit more difficult than the flu..

Maybe it's just me, but when I use to play basketball and I was sick, I always found I played better when I was sick..i don't know why, but my games usually ended up better.

Careful.....this season and these playoffs were determined by injury. Not sure that the Cavs with a healthy Love AND Irving beat the Warriors because the Cavs would not be as good on the peremeter defending and the Warriors would still be an awesome defensive team. Without Love and Irving, the Cavs can slow down the game and give themselves a real shot and provide a match up issue for GS. The Cavs got the right match up with GS. Not sure, they could wreak the same havoc against the Spurs or Clippers. Just the facts. Also, the Cavs played the Bulls without Gasol and the Hawks (another faux team) without their best peremeter defender.

GS meanwhile got lucky and did not have to play the Spurs -- they can thank the Clippers ----- or the Clippers -- thank the Clippers again this time for choking.

LOL. You are insane. GS will run them out of the building. Too old and slow.
