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

[Across The Field]

I don't get LBJ. He said he is playing his best basketball of his career but he is shooting his worst 3pt %,one if his worst jump shooting % and avg the most turnovers in these playoffs(2nd worst in his career). How is he playing his best? Plus he isn't playing Top D against the #1 option anymore. Only thing that is up is assist per game. Also playing almost the least amount of Min in these playoffs in his career.

Is this LBJ just trying to get some media time. Week off has him asking for some attention.

And here you are giving it to him. On behalf of Lebron, I thank you for your contribution.

ok that makes a little sense. I disagree about Bball IQ. If he has one of his highest turnover rates his IQ isn't at his top of his game this year.

That has nothing to do with IQ, teams can double team him even triple team, they can confuse him more with multiple players out, doesnt mean his IQ is down. Teams can just more pressure on him, especially the Bulls.

I don't think he looks at these boards.

Turnover is mental mistake so yes it is Bball IQ but on the other side his assist are up to its a give and a take in this situation. Not saying you are wrong. I think we are both right.

I think this NBA Finals is something new for Lebron in a way, while he had a shot when he was younger to get the city of Cleveland a championship, this is different he is more mature and evolved as a player.

This one isnt just about his legacy it is about Cleveland. I think he needs to go into takeover mode and have his jumpshot working to win these Finals. Average like 40 a game and just play out of his mind IMO

line is at -6 right now

I'm seriously considering buying airline tickets and game 6 tickets today... both are fully refundable if game 6 doesn't happen.

Found round trip tickets from Dallas for $200 gets me in Cle early afternoon and flys out around 5 am. Nosebleeds for Game 6 are going for 4-500 right now. $700 sounds so worth it.

I can't do game 3 or 4 because of a business trip. Imagine how awesome it would be if the Cavs pulled it out and clinched in 6.

That sounds legit. What day is Game 6 a Tuesday?

One of my buddies has a plane ticket to go anywhere for about $50. If I could get a ticket to the game, that trip wouldnt be that expensive.

Yep, Tue the 16th.

Yeah, the game tickets are pretty pricey... but when you can get the airfare cheap... the overall price of a trip like that isn't bad at all.

 

[Shanemansj13]

The deeper you go in the series the more expensive it gets obviously. Even for Game 2, tickets are going for $500 standing room. To get a seat you are looking at close to $600. Damn!

Seeems like the NBA season is over its been so long since a game was played.

And he's at the top of the class for prima dona divas. It sickens me just looking at his sorry ass.

It sickens me looking at Draymond with his mouth open 24/7 and flexing after every play made. Lebron is a saint compared to that lowlife.

LOL! No one compares to James for histrionics. And that stupid mouth-open incredulous stare when he thinks he's been fouled but doesn't get the call? Priceless.

 

[purguy12]

LBJ needs to Avg around 25-27 ppg but needs to shoot better and limit turnovers(don't take so many 3's, no need they have 3pt shooters.) we should see Irving help a lot in this series(he will help take pressure off LBJ). Thompson keeps rebounding and Cavs have a shot. Their D hasn't seen a offensive team like this so I think they will struggle at 1st. defending the 3 is important here for the Cavs. This is their weakness. I would try and let GS big win the game. Contain Curry and Thompson.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

i was talking about post season not just finals but ended up being wrong. i swear i remember changes but guess not.

I give you credit for maning up and admitting it. A lot of folks are incapable of admitting they're wrong on the internets.

Yeah, well he is the best and he doesnt get a lot of calls just bc of the fact he is a freight train, he gets raped at the rim and doesnt get plenty of calls. On the other hand, Draymond is so wannabe, that just talks and acts like a fool, it makes me sick. It is hard to watch Warrior games with this guy, it almost bitches more than Rasheed. I never want violence, but I wouldnt be opposed to Perkins coming in and leveling this fat ass.

Draymond takes it to another level, Lebron just wants fouls to be called, considering how he has to carry this team.

That's blasphemy
