NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[Heatles84]

Draymond is the finals MVP through 2 games

Yeah......he was definitely the MVP for this game. I give game 1 nod to Iggy. At this rate, they may all have to share the Finals MVP trophy.

In fairness.....this one isn't on LeBron.

It's on Love, IRving, Smith, and TT.

100% on LBJ. Last year no because of all the injuries(even though his shot % was bad but understood it). He has his guys this year.

Just add another chapter into LeBrons book. Of getting to the title game, but not having the killer instinct attitude to put his team on his shoulders and get the job done.

Hell, Cleveland may very well be back in the title game next year, giving LeBron 7 straight! Yet, I don't see this cavaliers team doing any better next year. James is just getting older and for a guy who has failed his entire career of carrying a team by himself to a title, it will only become less likely and less capable the older he gets.

Again, the warriors are a historically great team one of the best ever. The Cavs are not. That's not all on LBJ. No one else has put this team away in a long time.

No, the leader and "King" takes the blame in my book. First, say enough is enough and put this thing on your shoulders. AND if someone is slacking then you chew their ass off and hold them accountable.

Hell, Jordan punched the lights out of Kerr in a practice once.

Can't beat the Warriors by playing hero ball so that wouldn't work

 

[Black Adam]

But why? There were sooo ready.

heh, well according to SOME...

here's a memory for y'all. Wiggy said a couple of years ago this Cleveland team was gonna be the greatest ever assembled in basketball...

dammit y'all, stop laughin'...

 

[LAD]

After they won 3 straight against OKC I already knew they would beat the Cavs. Clearly after watching these two games you can clearly see this is a JV team trying to get lucky and win against a Varsity team.

Not to be a downer but Curry for winning 2 NBA MVPs he hasn't done great in Finals and right now doesn't look to be NBA Finals MVP.

100% on LBJ. Last year no because of all the injuries(even though his shot % was bad but understood it). He has his guys this year.

How is it on Lebron if his teammates don't perform? He can't go out there and hit shots for Kyrie, JR, and etc.

 

[Black Adam]

I know this was their year, healthy and a Top Coach.

Lue was the answer...or so we were told...

 

[purguy12]

This one isn't on Lebron.

Cleveland is getting outcoached, and BADLY.

Lue hasn't figured out he has to go BIG to win.

LBJ picked Lue. Its on LBJ. He got a good HC fired. A guy that had his team play better in the Finals with all those injuries.

Can;t beat the Warriors any which way they proved that this year.

 

[purguy12]

He isn't doing anything great either. 19pts. come on. Its on LBJ.

 

[Heatles84]

Agreed. However, this is more ammo to use against Wiggy. So fuck it.

ANNIHILATION ----- DUB STYLE!!

 

[Robotech]

if the warriors do sweep that would definitely put all the doubters to bed......

They're fueled by the doubters. I love how they've embraced the challenge. Two more wins and you won't be hearing about how the Cavs would've won last year if Kyrie and Love were healthy.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

It's time to put the doubts to rest. This Warrior team is special. Without question in the discussion for greatest team of all time.

They play great together... Greatest of all time will always be open for debate... Just because they won 1 more game during the season than the 96 Bulls I wouldn't say they would beat the 96 Bulls in a 7 game series... Jordan was at another level, jedi level.... and with Phil as there head guy he always made good adjustments... Warriors would have a very difficult time beating Michael Jordan and company 4 times... Remember it's Michael Jordan .... Go back and watch the tapes...

 

[msgkings322]

Not to be a downer but Curry for winning 2 NBA MVPs he hasn't done great in Finals and right now doesn't look to be NBA Finals MVP.

He has one of the best teams ever around him, he doesn't need to do anything. WHo shoulda been MVP? Not LeBron obvi. Durant/Westbrook?

 

[starbigd]

This is on LUE

Never seen a coach that can't figure out you can't play the same style of play as GS and win. They HAVE to start Mozgov, Thompson and Love at the same time, go BIG and pound them into submission. Slow the game down, force them to play halfcourt offense......

HOW was this not obvious after the first half of game one???

We have a winner. Also don't forget he picked this coach and got a good HC fired. This is on him. No more excuses. Im so sick of the excuses for LBJ.
