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

[Andresrenee]

Cavs owner Dan Gilbert's tweets don't sit well with Warriors fans | NBA | Sporting News

LOL. The man is who he is....can't change that. See his letter to his "King" once he left him. His "authentic" fans --- 20,562 or so were very quiet and left the game early. Comical with the excuses being made. Reason Cavs in the finals:

1. Bouncing Balls bounced their way for a number of years because they sucked so bad.
2. Gilbert said or did something to Lebron to make him come back to Cleveland on that plane in Miami. Glad not there to see it.
3. Love's injury and maybe Kyrie's injury. The Cavs were 4-1 without boh of them in he playoffs and only lost the last game with the both out. I am convinced that the Cavs would not defend as well with them in the game and back and forth would be a better matchup for Golden State.

The Cavs could still win this so not sure why the man can't give someone else credit. Comical....Those claasy Cleveland fans......take after their owenr whether its burning jerseys, ranting about life, and blaming othrs/making excuses......

He should be well rested

Sad thing is the clown Gilbert actually RT that garbage

Probably the number 1 reason why I don't want the Cavs to win the title. Lebron's a douche, but admittedly, has done quite a lot for the Heat franchise in his 4 years. And Cavs fans (some) can be pretty annoying, but I understand why they are the way they are because of not ever winning a title. But Gilbert has to be the equivalent of Jeffrey Loria (Miami Marlins owner) in basketball.

I got a chuckle out of your post Heatles84. "LeBron's a douche"; I laughed awhile.

Marion last yr avg 10 & 6 with Dallas last year....all of sudden since coming to Cleveland, Blatt seem to think he some washed up bench warmer.

First time ever in his career where he did not avg double figures

Maybe Miller and 37 year old Matrix can help. But they both are huge defensive liabilities. If they can hit some shots and just keep pace to allow LeBron to rest, then they did their job. I just feel turning to guys who are closer to 40 than 30 as your chance to wrestle back control of an NBA finals, probably doesn't end well for you. Unless they used to be known as Lou Alcindor, this doesn't end well most times.

NBA players seem to lose it all at one time. See what happened to Battier? One year..solid defender can hit shots. One off season and the dude is a huge liability out there. Same thing happened to Birdman and Ray Allen. You play with fire relying on 37 year olds.

They didn't have to rely on him. He just needed to be their 8th or 9th man. Give him 10 minutes per game. Blatt is basically playing 7players. JR and Jones. Miller and Marion can't be that bad where they can't get a 8-10 minute run to keep the starters fresh

We will find out tonight. I think they are going to be huge defensive liabilities. Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes are 25 and 23. Putting a 37 year old out there is probably going to cause some issues.

You guys go thru 70 pages a day on this thread. So, forgive me if this has been asked before....

If this goes 7 and the Warriors win, will Lebron be the first player since The Logo to win Finals MVP on the losing team?

You can't win depending on JR. Smith.

This is Miller time.

He comes up clutch in the Finals.

What do they have to lose?

You can't have a dirt-dog tired Bron and Delly come 4th quarter and expect them to compete.

I think he wins the MVP if GS wins in 6 assumin he continues to play well an Curry so..so..

Yep, I totally agree.

Lebron is not walking away without at least consolation prize.

But, I think the Cavs will have to go 7.

If not, I think it should go to......Iggy.

Sure, he's not putting up gigantic numbers and is not a Superstar name anymore.

However, Had Wino Pop not hit the wine flask to early a few years back, and the Spurs had defeated the Heat, Danny Greene would have probably won it.

So, Iggy isn't that farfetched.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

As of this minute, Curry is solid favorite in Vegas to win MVP.

And, James now suddenly wants courtside cameras removed?
You mean it's all about him now?

Say the Warriors do win this series... If LeBron doesn't get MVP, who does? Right now, I would go AI
