NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

Lebron also has never lost a game 2 after losing game 1 either..he was 10-0 coming in......UNTIL TONIGHT.

That's not true. He was on a 9 game winning streak but he did lose game 2 after losing game 1 before. Last time I think it happened was the 07 finals

Yep.
Past years stats mean nothing.
I remember some Raptor stat that they were 0-13 or something in afternoon playoff games before they beat the tar out of us in game 7.

So...okc was the 2nd best team? Cleveland needs a miracle that can play d, not turn the ball over and rebound.

yeah that was a typo on my part...I meant 9-0 coming in....now he's 9-1 in game 2's

 

[Heatles84]

Could, but no reason to think it will.
Warriors seem to know how to beat the Cavs on any court.
7 in a row, including 3 there, does mean something to me.
Cavs haven't lost at home all playoffs.
Soon we won't be saying that.

Lebron had been 9-0 in the playoffs in game 2 after losing game 1. He's now 9-1. First time for anything. Dubs have been tested in the playoffs, Cavs haven't until now. Now we see the difference.

He wasn't 9-0. You're only looking at recent history.

LeBron has now lost 7 straight games vs the Warriors, the longest losing streak in his career against any team.

Yeah we need to clear this up. He won 9 in a row when his teams were defeated in game 1 but he was not 9-0 all time in game 2 when his teams went down 1-0. He went down 2-0 in 06 vs Detroit, 07 vs Detroit, 07 vs the Spurs, & 08 vs Boston

Just watched the replay again of Love on the ground...Dray scored the ball which stopped play and Thompson & Kyrie were right there on defense & walked away from the play without going to see about Love who was still on the ground holding his head. Doesn't seem like a positive message.....

Yeah the Cavs heart and cohesion are being tested and right now it looks rough for them. At least game 1 they were trying to win the whole game.

You'd think the Spurs sweeping the Cavs in 07 woulda been the first warning bell in poster's heads...

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

So..
Maybe it wasn't incorrect to say the Cavs had a better chance to lose in the East then will it all.
So far, no team has ever lost by more combined points in 2 games.

FTR....I posted the twitter stat in post #3044...w/ the caveat being his "last 10 instances" in plain sight.

Umm....


The sun sets by Oracle Arena, possibly for the last time this season.
If the Cavaliers can't win 1 of the next 2 games in Cleveland, the series won't return here.

Yeah so again, is there a Captain Obvious smiley?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Warriors won Games 1 & 2 by combined 48 Pts....
....the largest point differential in 1st 2 NBA Finals games history.

That the Warriors had to go 7 games against OKC doesn't really tell us a whole lot about a dream matchup against the Bulls, IMO. Every series is different and you gotta credit OKC for playing well and taking advantage of the Warriors early in the series. It took a while for the Warriors to figure out OKC. Thank god they figured it out just in time. The Bulls lost two double digit games in a row in the 1996 Finals to a Sonics team that isn't as good as the Warriors, but that doesn't mean that the Warriors would beat the Bulls.

I agree every match-up is different.. I just think when your talking about great teams OKC doesn't stack up even close to the 90's Bulls... 90's Bulls honestly could a won 10 straight titles... Had Jordan stayed put I think they run the entire decade honestly ... Jordan was just ridiculous..

No worries...a lot of stuff here gets taken out of context or misinterpreted....

I just wanted to post that graph re tweet to clarify.

Right, and the 1996 Sonics don't come close to the Warriors. I just don't think you could draw many conclusions from the Warriors beating OKC 4-3 no more than you could draw conclusions from the Bulls beating the Sonics 4-2.

Winning 10 straight would've been unlikely even if Jordan stayed all those years. Apart from Olajuwon just being a really great player and the 1993-1994 Rockets actually having a better record than the 1992-1993 Bulls, Jordan rested and recharged during those couple seasons off. Also, Tim Duncan and the Spurs would've been very tough for an aging Bulls team to beat.
