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

[LAD]

Talk about complaining...I heard LBJ was complaining about the two longest breaks in between games was when the series is in Oakland. Talking about they (Warriors) get to rest at home during those breaks vs. them having to stay in hotels. Seriously?? He could stay home if his comfort is more important.

So Delly was taken to the hospital last night after the game due to fatigue?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Delly is getting in these guys' heads. I love it. Just like he's getting in y'alls heads

He is playing mind games. Australian mind games.

Change the offensive sets for one. Start having more cuts into the lane. It's all a mental thing right now. All of a sudden, Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green can't hit a 3-point shot to save their lives when they were so deadly in the first 3 rounds of the playoffs. This is where a coach needs to calm his team down, but at the same time get them motivated. Which is not something I've yet to see Kerr do.

I think he did that somewhat in the second half with the insertion of Lee into the game. That brought some more size inside and it seemed that the ball was moving a lot better. That surprised me because he's generally a low post ball hog. Sure seemed like the players were doing a lot of one on one stuff instead of moving the ball around the perimeter and back door stuff.

Curry woke up a little in the second half but I think his slump and his head hanging affected the rest of the team; un nerved them a little. Curry still needs to hang on to the ball better. Those three consecutive turnovers down the stretch killed them.

I think the fact that Curry found his stroke again yesterday may be a good sign for Thursday; we'll see.

Yeah he does 1 dirty play a series(and gets away with it). Im still shocked they didn't call a foul on LBJ slide tackle with Curry. That was crazy. I don't think LBJ meant to go in that hard but a foul should of been called. I don't think it would of mattered but overall the Refs have been bad both ways. Last night it was in favor of Cavs, night before in favor of GS late in the game, and game 1 was split I would say.

Lets see what game 4 brings us.

Probably because it wasn't slide tackle. Gordon posted a slow-mo replay of it earlier. He tried to slow down and his left foot slid out causing him to fall. Nothing dirty about it at all.

 

[Montalban]

Play Lee on the pick and roll because he can actually roll. The second they brought him in the game things turned around for the Warriors. They're having problems on offense and he's the best offensive inside player they have. Once they stop trapping high on the pick other things will open up.

Agreed.

 

[LAD]

me either. This has to be a change. Go with the Vet. Also have Lee come off the bench and if Green is struggling put Lee in.

I feel bad for whoever pays Green money. This guy is not good. How many open 3's will he miss and he cant finish at the basket(don't get me wrong he got fouled a couple of time) but still he is so soft. He gives u ok D at the end of games. Overall he isn't more then a Bench player. I wouldn't want him in my starting lineup.

Actually, he's been pretty good throughout the season and postseason up to this point. But, he needs to find another way to score if he can't get his dunks to go down against Mozgov. He needs to stretch him out of the paint and then drive past him. Get clever...it's not brain surgery! LOL

I think in game 2 the bad calls were in favor of the Cavs early in the game and then the refs switched it up big time at the end. Last night?? My goodness they were tryna rob the Warriors blind. I mean come on...how could they not have called that basket at the end offensive interference when Tristan freaking poked the ball back out the basket before it even went through the net? And what about the play when Lee got fouled but his ball wal blocked AFTER it had already hit the glass?? They eventually got the calls right but only after the Warriors put up a big fuss. These refs need to get better.

yes it was in game 2 but at the end it was clear they were in favor for GS. They have been the worst refs I have seen in the Finals. Its like they are afraid to make the right calls. They let them play then they call these touch fouls and then the Clear fouls they look confused.

You act is if I am the one bitching about that?

And it's funny how a lot of people on here complained about the scheduling, but when LBJ does it he gets ripped

Fuck, I think the 24/6 LBJ media circus is as annoying as the next guy. But some of you fail to realize the media is just as much as fault as Lebron. He has to attend press conferences and talk to the press. It isn't his fault that they put it on blast everytime the guy opens his mouth.

Can he be over the top and an attention whore? Sure, but let's not forget the reason he is shoved down our throats

 

[Across The Field]

On the Delly/Green play. I don't know that Delly was necessarily trying to hurt Green and I'm not sure the play was particularly dirty, but Delly definitely didn't make an attempt to avoid Green when he got up and tried to get back into the play.

Having said that, it seems that there have been a few of these types of questionable plays by Delly in these playoffs and where there's smoke, there's usually fire. I think we're reaching the point with him where it's harder to defend these things as him "hustling" or being "gritty."

The only play Delly has had that can even be slightly called dirty was the one with Korver, and all he did was dive for the ball, something that happens all the time in every game. Had Korver not gotten hurt, we wouldn't have heard about it. He annoys people with how much of a pest he is and it leads to other players getting pissed so they whine. The Horford thing was 100% on Horford, national media even said that. This thing with Green was brought on by Green, and there have been hundreds of dirtier plays than that just this season alone.

He's just like Aaron Craft. People hated him because of how hard he played, but if he was on your team, you'd love him immensely.

Don't know how he is getting in our heads. Doesn't affect me. Plus Curry smoked Della in the 2nd half so he might finally be getting out of Currys head. We will find out soon.

Exactly...3,4,5 times are no coincidences.

U do know he is known in the league for being dirty. U guys just need to live up to it. that's all. Just like I know Gasol Flops. 1st step of recovery is accepting it.

I first said when he made 1st team Defense I was shocked. He gives good D but he is undersized for his positon and you have to be very tough, like Barkley, to make it as an undersized PF. This guy is good on defense and average on offense. I wouldnt pay him max, no way

LOL damn he is under your skin bad. I do know he hussles his ass off and is known in the league for having tremendous heart. The only people calling him dirty are the people he is pissing off. Sorry he isn't on your team, bro.

LOL if they were trying to rob the Warriors last night, they definitely tried to rob the Cavs in Game 2. With 3 blown calls they even announced, any blown calls announced in Game 3??

They called the Tristan goaltending, were you not watching the game lol

I saw James go to the hole and get fouled many times. But overall the refs are bad in the series.

They almost tried to give the ball to GS on the Delly-Klay play where Klay obviously touched the ball while out of bounds. That was insane

How did I act as if it was you bitchin? I quoted your post because of the content. I never accused you of anything. Goodness...I thought it was just conversation.

I said something about the schedule because I DON'T want long breaks in between games which has nothing to do with which team that benefits the most.

Riddle:

Why can't Delly's girl give good head?

First correct answer gets a Vwhore fom me.
