NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[avalon2423]

GS still only did what they were supposed to do and that was win their home games. If Im Cleveland, Im not going into a panic yet for being down 2-0, you have the next 2 at home to tie the series. Now if GS wins Game 3, then the series is over. BUT if I am Cleveland, i would panic and be really concerned with how they are being built. They are getting beat in every facet of the game.

Also, why is it that Keven Love always looks like a pussy?

He's a UCLA Bruin.

I have a feeling Lue will start Delly in game 3...with JR coming off the bench.
Not sure who'll get Love's minutes assuming he sits due to the concussion...maybe Jefferson or Shumpert?

I'm going into panic mode for the simple reason that both games have been complete blow outs. You (the Cavs) just don't match up well with the Dubs. They're offense is predicated on trying to replicate what the Warriors do - which is clearly not working. If they lose game 3, it's over. No team in the history of the NBA has ever come back from an 0-3 hole.

Is it too late to change my vote to GSW sweep?

I went with the majority on this...

#TooMuchRespectGiven

or is it​

#NotEnoughRespetGiven




After the Thunder Series, I think it's the former...

sounds pretty accurate.

The Cavs should fire Lue & bring back Blatt immediately.

betting THAT man has a smile on his face this morning...

and giving LeClown the double deuce...

^^THIS^^100%...!

kept saying this over and over. the Cavs can't win playing Warriors ball. and i'm betting that by now they've figured that out...

here's the other problem I see...and that's Ty's coaching. I question his ability to make any adjustments that're gonna work well enough to turn this series around for the Cavs. he may prove me wrong, but I HIGHLY doubt it...

Cavs in 6 still right on track.

Not gonna dig through the posts, but he did say: "We have yet to see Lebron's career defining finals moment."

Maybe the moment will be watching him rip his jersey off while walking off the court while the Warriors are celebrating?

are we talking years...?

sounds like an instant replay of his Boston exit...

You can sense how the sports history of Cleveland has shaped the fan base. They are so used to defeat they are giving up way earlier then any other fan base would in this position imo.

Not talking about the team or this forum... just Clevelanders in general.

The most likely formula for the Cavs was always winning 3 at home and one on the road.

I don't care how good the warriors are... you can't tell me spurs fans or laker fans or heat fans or Celtic fans would be ready for defeat after 2 fucking road games. It's ridiculous.

well, only one problem with that theory, bro. the Dubs have proven they can whip 'em THERE as well...and in spectacular fashion, no less...

 

[Clayton]

Cavs have none of the characteristics of a team that can beat the warriors. D isn't good enough, can't rebound, can't win the turnover battle.

I'd be shocked if this wasn't a sweep at this point

Proving that you can (in one game) doesn't mean you will.

WILL give you this, at least in my own personal experience...

things looked kinda bleak in the 2010 finals vs. the Celtics when we went down 3-2 and had to win a game in Boston...

just sayin'...
