They could also be lucky and up 2-0. They gave up leads in both games, but that's just lucky

Coulda, shoulda, woulda.

Oh no doubt. Someone would have to be a fool to think he wasn't gonna handle business. But in any event he had to exert a lot of energy in both games and still barely won. The Warriors have to see that as the glass half full because they've yet to have a good game. Now, if they were playing their best and still barely winning then we might have to rethink things a bit.

You almost never play your best game in the playoffs but I expect a better effort IMO they have been as good on the road as they have been at home

Yea you should slap yourself in the head for saying something so dumb Shane. There have been plenty of defenders that are smaller than the player they're defending but can still make an impact. That just wasn't the case with Delly guarding Klay. Tell me, do you think Blatt will give him another go at it in game 3?

So a 2nd year bench player guarding a prolific scorer. Just stop, you prove again and again you have no clue. Klay doesnt even have to jump to get his shot off. Delly can get in Curry's face and has the athleticism to stay with him, most of the time. Plus Klay is much more athletic than Curry is, which is also a key factor.

Not it's just lucky. Cavs are winning off pure luck, they have no chance.

Honestly, I thought when they lost two in a row to Memphis they were gonna cave and lose the series. The fact they came back and didn't lose another game impressed me. they won 3 games in a row. There is no doubt they can do it again here.

Sound like excuses to me. Iggy guards the BEST player in basketball and was able to make him alter his shots when it mattered most.

If you say so.

I still thought they would win that series but in 7 just like OKC

I don't know about that

 

[Shanemansj13]

Right now it looks like GS is -1. I know Cleveland is at home but that's still crazy.

Well you had more faith than me. They looked depleted to me. But, the fact that they were able to bounce back leads me to believe they will be fine in this series. Not to mention I expected they would lose a game or two against LBJ. But, if they play together and get better effort they will win because 5 on 1 almost always wins.

They're without Irving and love lol

 

[PIBuckeye]

Oh without a doubt. They will win. They shot under 40% last night and still almost won. Should we call the Cavs "lucky"??

yea, well, take out the warriors 2nd and 3rd best players/leading scorers, and see how they do........ the Cleveland curse is alive and well.

sucks they don't have Kyrie and Love, would be a hell of a series with both teams near full strength.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I'm saying, I thought GS would be favored by more.

I couldn't agree more. But honestly, if the Cavs FO were smart they wouldn't have given up Wiggins. Just imagine...Love is out and they've been winning without him. And now Kyrie is out. Wiggins is a guard and could've filled that role nicely.

 

[Hambombs]

Oh true. Probably because it's lebron

 

[Hambombs]

Or maybe it's because it's...

LOL Sounds like Avery Johnson.

yea, I agree. I cringed when gave up Wiggins.

Aren't you the one saying you watched the Eastern Conference games?? Now you didn't see Delly go after Taj's legs as he lay on the floor going after the ball? Or how about when he went after Korver & Horford? And, I'm assuming you were too busy sulking in your misery & begging for company last night that you didn't see him kick out his legs to try and trip Speights as they went for the lose ball last night?

Delly wrapped Taj's legs up yeah. Grabbed him so he couldn't do anything. That's what guys at 6' do. That's all they can do. Notice the flagrant foul went to Taj btw.

If that's dirty then, i'll just continue to laugh at you. Good thing you weren't around when the game was actually physical.
