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

[Montalban]

If the Warriors protect the ball tomorrow night they will win; if not, it will be a very close game.

Put me down for 2008.

Been on the forums since 08 (fuck that season was dreadful). At the end of the day, Lakers probably have to take medication or sift through the spam everytime they get on a forum.

 

[Shanemansj13]

No.
2008 started on Heat threads.

Heat fan since around 97-98.

Ok I gotchya. I used to go to Cavs game when they sucked. In the late 90's and early 00's. They had an old Shawn Kemp lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

It's gonna be hard to win if Kyrie isnt basically at 100%. His ability to create his shot with his quickness is his game and the way he can finish is his game. Hopefully he is close to 100 but I doubt it.

Seriously man...it sucks...you can just sit itwhen you watch the games. Kyrie LOVES getting to the rim and he has notbeen able to get to the rim since game 1 of the Chicago series. Until you see him making those crazy layups off the glass at crazy angles that just look impossible its clear he is still hurting. It will be interesting tosee tomorrow.

Who in the playoffs has actually made Curry work on the defensive end? Certainly not a broken down Conley- certainly not the corpse of Jason Terry....Jrue Holiday? LOL....when healthy Kyrie just does such a great job mitigating Curry's impact because he can give you 75% - at least- of what Curry does on most nights. Kyrie is every bit the explosive scorer- I mean- you do not have the 2 high scoring games in the ENTIRE LEAGUE at 55 pts and 57 points without being a freaking offensive force.

Cannot wait for tomorrow though.....I do have hope because I dont think the Warriors have played a team that is playing the level of defense the Cavs are playing right now in the playoffs- and if they move Green to LeBron that might slow Bron down but the Cavs will just dominate the boards...seriously....going to be a LOOONG day at the office tomorrow

Memphis says hi you goofy bastard.

Memphis says hi you goofy bastard.

Memphis...please--- Memphis played like shit the last 2 months of the season- Conley was hurt and missed games and so did Tony Allen....a Memphis team that is healthy and peaking? I agree with you- but if you actually PAID attention and watched the games youwould know that the Memphis team that Golden State played was nothing close to Memphis at their peak.

Still better than the Cavs and the competition that they played. Because it's you that haven't been watching how the Warriros have played in the playoffs.

Mike Conley had surgery on his freaking face before that series and the series was tied 2-2 before tony allen SAT out game 5 and tried to play game 6 where he limped around for 5 minutes before calling it quits. Memphis was 20-15 the 2nd half of the season after playing great the first half of the season. the Cavs PUNKED a healthy Griz team twice- that Griz team? the Cavs wouldve wrecked.

the Rockets? seriously?! Jason Terry is their starting point guard because Beverly is out for the year- Howard is their only big man that is decent and he hurts his knee badly.

The Cavs would have made short work out of either the banged up Memphis team or the Rockets with no point guard and one injured big man.

Its a shame the Clippers and Spurs faced eachother so early. I think those were EASILY the 2nd and 3rd best teams out there- butthe Clippers choked their balls off- which i called months ago- ill find you multiple posts where I say how good the Clippers are- i mean- its a team built on a video game- ideal PG, SG redick is like your protype shooting guard when you have guysl ike CP and Blake around him- Blake built in a video game- Deandre your rebounding shot blocking center etc...but the Clips were never going to win 3 or 4 series in a row becuase they cant stop tripping on their own dick

 

[Hambombs]

For the GS, yes. For Cleveland, no lol

For everyone actually lol

Um hire holiday is a good defender so is mike Conley. Mike Conley was not broken down. He was mostly healthy. And Memphis is better on defense IMO it's close. And LOL I don't know about all that about on the boards

Wiggy you're way to cocky no offense

So Memphis played like shit ( even though they won 2 of the first 3 games) and the Warriors don't deserve any credit BUT IYO, the Bulls and Hawks didn't play like shit...they were at their best..the Cavs just stopped them?

Wiggy you're way to cocky no offense

It is the reason nobody likes him

 

[bksballer89]

Wiggy is an idiot trying to discredit gsw playoffs run. Both Memphis & Houston would beat Atlanta in a best of 7 and Houston would beat Chicago.

God I hope the Warriors stomp the cavs out. He's making it seem like the Warriors are some shit team who beat mediocre teams to reach the finals.

This is what this loser does. He brings up injuries as an reason why golden state beat those teams but the bitch will never bring up the fact that Pau Gasol missed the 2 most important games of the series and the fact that Carroll played on 1 kneee most of the series & korver missed 2 games

 

[bksballer89]

Wiggy is one of those guys I would knock out in a bar if I heard him talking this garbage

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Wiggy you're way to cocky no offense

Not sure how someone can be cocky when they also have every excuse in the book covered.
I think a better word is spineless.

Tired of hearing about Kyrie, tired of hearing about the Warriors 'easy' path through the West.

Both teams cruised to the Finals. No excuses. The better team will win.

 

[hockey878]

Honestly, I don't see how the cavs can be competitive in this series. They over matched at almost every position, GS is much deeper and IMO kerr is way better coach.

I think it is warriors in 5, at the most.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Wiggy you're way to cocky no offense

unreal- I AM PREDICTING GOLDEN STATE WINS!!! LOL

its just ridiculous to me that people ignore the facts that- hey- Memphis/GSW was 2-2 before Tony Allen missed the last 2 games and Conley for the most part played like crap because he just had surgery on his face.

Golden State has been extremely fortunate that they have had great health through the playoffs- their only injury pretty much has been Klay's concussion which happened while they were up 3-1 and closing out the last game in blowout fashion.

Golden State has home court, a better coach, and a healthy roster- My dilemma in making my prediction is that I dont think the Cavs will lose a game 6 at home if it gets there- so my prediction is Golden State in 5 or 7- all though if it gets to 7 I think that will be a GREAT game and very hard to pick- but I give Golden State the slight edge because of the above- health, home court and coaching.
