NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[Vitamike]

Yep & sure I could see the Cavs winning a game or two (ala the Raptors), but does anyone see the Cavs winning 4 of the next 5?

Better yet, can anyone see the Warriors losing 4 of the next 5, when the Warriors have lost about 1 out of every 10 games all season?

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

guess THIS is the thing in general that most of us are seeing. there isn't one single sign that says the Cavs can do a damn thing about how this series is turning out...

anything can happen of course, but i'd pretty much challenge anyone to show me one positive Cleveland has right now...

 

[Black Adam]

course maybe Wiggy can clear the air...

hmm, has anyone seen him around here...?

 

[Vitamike]

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

Career defining moments aren't always positives....

Remember this one?



Yeah, that was a career defining moment for Sonny!

GS still only did what they were supposed to do and that was win their home games.

If those first two were somewhat competitive, you would have a point Avalon.

The last time the Dubs played the Cadavers at Chicken Bones Arena (Jan 18th)
GS demolished them 132-98.

*Head Coach David Blatt was fired 4 days later...

I heard something once about Cleveland having the 7th best symphony in the world and really good ice cream. . .

You love the rhymes, which was probably the inspiration for that guy to refer to you as "Yogurt~Slurping." You remember that one? Kinda funny.

They outscored GSW in the first quarter.

Jefferson shot 4-6 from the field.

That's 2...I'm an overachiever.

Okay. The Cleveland Clinic. According to U.S. News & World Report their heart program is ranked the best in nation for 2015-16. Also Kelly's Island & Put-In-Bay on Lake Erie are both nice places.

In all seriousness, they have done of good job of containing the Splash Bros and did force 20 turnovers last night

Meh. Never been a big Kelly's Island or Put-In-Bay guy.

The culinary scene in Cleveland is pretty robust, particularly given its size.

That's what I have heard.

I was going with Warriors in 7, but after game 2 this series may not make it to game 5. Cavs look so uninspired. You know it's bad when you got opposing players sleeping on the bench.

LeBron career defining moment would be the 20 foot dagger with under 30 seconds to play to give Miami a 4 point lead in game 7 over the Spurs. Or you could go the entirety of game 6 at Boston the year before. But I am becoming more and more convinced the Miami years will be the only successful LeBron run in the NBA.

Only managed to watch the first half (by halftime it was 2:30am over here) but even just up by 8 the Warriors looked far better.

Is anyone doubting GS gets at least one out of two in Cleveland?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Biggest mistake lebron made was go back to cleveland after the whole "Not one, not two. not three..." bullshit in Miami especially after The Decision.

He would have won at least one more championship, probably more, and would have been respected a lot more.

ESPN stats have Warriors at 92% chance of winning.

Disagree.
The Heat would also have lost and became the mockery of the NBA.
Right now, the East just isn't good enough.
