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

[Nooone]

Whooooo. What a game. Warriors shoot under 40% & still almost win?? Hahaha. I'm not worried at all. I predicted they'd win 1 or 2 & there it is.

Cleveland shot under 33% and did win.

 

[podsox]

Cavs earned it.
Hopefully Warriors now realize that as long as James is on the court, Cavs can mix and match to cover the strengths and deficiencies of both Love and Kyrie.

Hopefully now, the Cavs fans here finally understand why I keep saying championship or bust.

Warriors need to find a way to get some offense from their center position.
It's a glaring weekness that was often overlooked because the Warriors hit so many 3's during the regular season.


Live by the 3, die by the 3.

shooting a ton of 3s wasnt the problem. the shot selection was. no ball movement tonight

Exchange the name CURRY with lebron and see how the media treats him.

Curry was a stinking pile of garbage all night long being owned by a backup PG.

He will barely get criticized.

Very different points in their careers Horns.

Nobody was piling on James in his first Finals and nobody should be piling on Curry.

Disappointed in you bro!

The winner of game 3 probably wins the series thanks to the new format

I am leaning towards a comfortable Warriors win by about 9 - 14 points.

Keep making yourself feel better. Lebron shot under 33%. Do you think that is going to happen again in Cleveland or is more likely your boy Curry lays another egg in his first finals.....too cocky for someone who has not won anything in quite sometime.

 

[ckhokie]

Isn't that what happens every single game that Lebron has ever played?

LBJ actually does a good job getting his teammates involved during the game. I think it was pretty clear none of those guys even wanted the ball late (nor do they have anyone other than LBJ who can be trusted with it late).

 

[trojanfight]

A few were swallowed when he was getting mugged.

its expected in playoff basketball.. but in return he says what he wants to refs all game.

With the amount of shit LeBron gets away with, noone should EVER complain about him not getting calls. Travels, pushoffs, refs finally dont call it both wways and people still bitch. Unreal.

First finals or not, you cannot be that stupid to keep on shooting 3's when nothing was falling. 15 threes for a player who only made 2 3's is outrageous

 

[Black Adam]

I'm so disgusted with the play of Curry and Green tonight. Klay is the only one on GSW who played halfway decent for GSW tonight

exactly what I was saying. I doubt very seriously they play that crappy again...

 

[DJ Fieri]

James was rebounding and passing like a beast (as usual) but when you need 34 FGA's to score 39? That isn't efficiency.

 

[Vitamike]

Dude went for 39/16/11 with only 3 turnovers

That is epic

how in the world are Lebron haters so obstinate to find fault in that almost superhuman night?????

unreal

How about him crying on every 50/50 call against him.

Dude has never fouled another in his life!

 

[Clayton]

Well I hate to say it but that is why LBJ will never be in my Top 5 or legend talk. He just falls apart late in games.

Almost a lock to be the top SF when he retires. How you break it down from there is debatable but I could see him retiring in the 5-10 range if he doesn't get any more rings.

 

[podsox]

how is it possible that 3 refs could miss the blatant travel and lebron getting hammered? u would have to be blind to miss either and they missed both

11 of 34 translates to 32.3%

Not good. By any NBA fans standards.

GSW should be fine but they need a complete offensive game. THey can't have only 1 or 2 players showing up and expect to win

 

[69er]

And I cant believe Steph played like shit today...still, credit to Dellavedova. He's been a fantastic backup this entire playoffs and plays better D than Kyrie.

But of all the fuckin days to have your worse game of the entire season? Ugh...cant wait for adjustments to be made by coaching staff

Yep. I just don't believe a jump shooting team could beat a Lebron team, but this team no longer has Love or Irving. Will be interesting.

 

[Hambombs]

Really no other way to put it just shot poorly. Missing jumpers and layups. Curry probably had the worst game of the season. Oh well reload up for game 3

Lebron has been shit shooting the ball this series for sure......but when GSW is also struggling to score it really isn't that big of a deal. If GSW ever get their offense rolling, LBJ poor shooting will likely lead to easy Warriors wins
