NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[The Oldtimer]

Really disappointed in the Cavs performance so far. I was hoping they'd make it an interesting series. They now have to win every home game and somehow pull one out at GS...going to be a very tall task.

The Cavs will have to win 4 out of 5 to win the finals. That's a "tall task".

Bosh was actually cleared for the playoffs had the Heat made it last year.

Cleared.
But we'll never know the intangibles like condition, court chemistry, etc..
Close series? Ok
Win 4/7... I vote no.

The vibe on the Heat seemed to not be very good after the Spurs loss.

It was stale.
Change was needed.

Remember all those rumors a few months ago about Durant going to GS?

Will LeBron retire if that becomes reality?

No. He'd probably do more harm than good quite honestly. The Warriors would have to give up a large portion of their bench while also allowing Barnes to walk.

Golden State bludgeons you with quality depth along with their ability to give a solid 10-12 deep in the playoffs. Durant ruins that as well as the ball movement. He doesn't seem like a selfish player, but I also don't think he'd acclimate to the Warriors' team concept as smooth as some would think.

Impossible to prove any of this. But don't forget Whiteside. If you are going to beat GS, you need length. It's what Milwaukee has. It is what OKC has. Cleveland doesn't. Whiteside would bother Green a HUGE deal. I think Miami wins that series last year, and likely losses it this year. These Warriors are an all time team, and IMHO are very under-appreciated in their time. They have changed basketball. They are better at a shot worth more than anyone in the history of the game. They have won more games than anyone in a season. LeBron will lose this series, and get killed for it, and he is losing to what might be the greatest team of all time especially under current NBA rules.

I don't see GS signing Durant to be honest. Why mess up a roster that's clearly at the top right now? Signing with the Warriors would only benefit Durant at the moment.

With the East being weak as hell right now I can't see Lebron going to the West (maybe if somehow the Lakers manage to sign Durant).

Will lebron break the record for the most Finals losses?

Wasn't that always the case?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Also wondering what @lebron23james thinks of this series so far?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Wasn't that always the case?

Naturally. But getting one in GS is almost impossible now

Starting to get worried about Wiggy.

Should someone call his mom to see if he's ok?

anyone got the number to his mom's basement...?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Just follow the smell of sweat, red bull and semen

People comparing Lebron to Koby really hurt your feelings, huh?

Cavs are going to have a very interesting off season after they lose these finals.
Do they keep lue?
Does LBJ Stay?
Do they trade Love?
Do they try and re shape their team?

 

[Black Adam]

Just not a good matchup for Cleveland. We pretty much knew defensively that they had little chance at slowing down Golden State's offense. If they continue to have this much of a problem scoring, this series will be over quicker than most wanted.

I have no problem if the Dubs take the Cavs out quick...

just sayin'. 'sides, the way things are going for these guys the off-season MAY be more interesting...

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Couldn't give a damn. As far as i'm concerned Kobe is a retired Laker now and he's not my favourite so compare him to anyone you want.

 

[Black Adam]

Im ready for the off-season. Would love it if the basketball season ends on Friday night

sorry, didn't see this, but DEFINITELY agree with punchline...

let's see the off-season moves already...

...but you'll miss out on a sweet avi for a week!
