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

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.

dude...the turnovers are hugely a product of him being the main ball handler with Kyrie missing so much time. The only other guy that brings up the ball has been Delly.

Windhorst said it the best - he said that LeBron is seeing the game like he was looking at code on the Matrix- he has a counter that automatically kicks in for every move, for every look, for every defense- and he almost always makes the right decision. This LeBron right now- individually- I think is the hardest to beat

with all the injuries- you have to give shumpert and thompson a lot of credit.

a few people on this very board dismissed those guys and the CAvs bench as "the worst in the league" just because they were not prolific scoring the ball.

with how Shumpert, Thompson and Delly have played- they have proved that they constitute one of the best bench units in the entire league when the CAvs have their full team.

He has always been the main ball handler. LOL Look im not going to argue with you. stats don't lie and right now he is so so on this statement. Like I said we are both right. Better in finding someone open for the better shot and also taking too much risk or making bad mistakes with his turnovers. Its not a bash so please don't think that. Im just stating facts. Does he know the game better because of experience yes but he still making mistake and making bad decisions. Im not saying he is dumb or has no BBall IQ. im just saying he isn't perfect and its people like Windhorst throws stuff around with out really looking at whats really going on.

He is tough to beat right now because he has a great supporting cast right now. All his role players are playing their A game. Yes he missed his side kick in Irving last series but I also picked Cavs in 5 with out irving playing so I expected this.

Lol @ Brian windhorst

Watch what you say. The guy plays with a lot of heart

Lol and no other player does. He definitely throws hissy fits and he grabs a rebound and puts it back up he acts like he did something spectacular. It's hard to watch seriously

I like GS and all the best to your team but Draymond, I just dont like the guy. I really didnt have a problem with him on Michigan St either

 

[Shanemansj13]

Even with all the injuries and even with the early struggles this year this has been the calmest I have seen Lebron in years. He rarely gets frustrated like you used to see him in Miami and especially in his younger days in Cleveland.

He smokes a shitton of weed these days.

He's always played with a lot of heart. I love his energy. The heartbeat

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

Even if he does go into full beast mode he won't win the series against the #1 defensive team in the league...withouth them helping by giving away games or having injuries to key guys.

 

[LAD]

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!

That's a lot cheaper than tickets here in the Bay.

 

[Black Adam]

I don't think he looks at these boards.

are you sure? you never know...

maybe he cares what us haters think...

 

[LAD]

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 @ the BS list tag below!

So can we assume that either the games in Oakland are going to be sparsely attended, or the local robbery rates are going to go through the roof?

Yup. Exactly it's not gonna be easy for anyone to score on us

Link?

I finally got this thread going again lol

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.

I think they're in trouble because the Dubs have a way of making other teams think they're jump shooters and adopting their style of play. Also realistically...cancel Xmas on getting enough from Kyrie to win the series. He is no where near healthy and anything less isn't gonna cut it against this team. Who is gonna contain Curry in 4 out of 7 games??? LOL

 

[Hambombs]

Link?

What makes you think lebron will score 40 on this defense?

 

[Shanemansj13]

That was for the game in GS. I looked online and those were the cheapest of the cheapest seats lol

Sorry but you're on your own with [ass]uming...
