NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[Mecca]

Las Vegas lists the Warriors as easy NBA Finals favorites over Cavs

I hit the nail on the head--- the Warriors are 2-1 favorites.....and 5.5 point favorites in game 1.....lets hope the Cavs play loose and with some fire and the pressure of being heavy favorites gets to the Warriors.

Both Teams are title or bust.

Just making it to the Finals is a great accomplishment.

But, .....

When you win 73 games, you are expected to win the title.

When you spend 108 million to build a Super Team, you are expected to win a title.

If you don't, your entire Season is a letdown.

Not a FAILURE. But, not a complete success either.

Part of your # 308 comment...

"It's Cleveland. We've seen this story. Why would it end differently this time?"


Now if you're not saying the Cavs don't have a chance what exactly were you saying then or where you quoting Wiggy?

Why would it, is far different then saying it can't.

I know the obvious answer to most is because Love/Kyrie are playing.

I personally think Love will be exposed all series as a poor defender and front running stat producer.

I think by the end of the series we'll be back to the point of saying he doesn't fit.

In 2 weeks we'll all know.

If you thought Kanter was bad on Curry, watch what happens when they put Love and Frye in the P&R all day. It's going to be glorious.

I dunno. the BUST part tells me it's a failure if that's your ultimate goal...

Like I said I think the Warriors repeat. You won't wanna hear this but there's a valid reason why it could end differently this year. The Cavs are actually healthy heading into the Finals, unlike last year. I just find it odd that somehow the Cavs have no chance @ all when they actually had a 2-1 lead last year w/ a banged up roster.

I wouldn't say they have no chance...but they won't win. And the reason is because the Cavs aren't the only ones that got better. Simple.

well, you kinda alluded to it a bit earlier. the Cavs ain't gonna win this the Warriors way...

Wow...missed it by one letter.

F@nnation refugees, remember when this happened?

Still Disgusting years later.

Thank you, @Win TWINS!!! .

We had that shit on "the other website" and in one of the videos they put in a tribute to someone I think called Mecca, and we all found out they faked their own death online... Fucking idiot.

No. @Mecca was from the basketball T&Rs. You are thinking of Becca - the "Red Sox fan," where members of her family were posting updates on the service and shit.

This was crazy. I still don't understand what the point was for doing that.

 

[LAD]

I know the Dubs just played but I can't wait til Thursday for another game! I guess I will have to re-watch game 7.

 

[DJ]

I'd put him on your bench. He'd be good for about 15-20 minutes. Especially considering that next year is a growth year for your core.

I think he could start and play about 23-25mpg....unil the young SF is ready to be inserted by the AS break. We need a veteran or 2 to help the youngsters. We can't just roll out 5 young guys in the starting lineup.

 

[trojanfan12]

kinda how they did Russell at first 'til Byron started cutting back his minutes...

Exactly and hopefully will the arbitrary minutes reduction.

This.

This is gonna be a great series.... You get the feeling the Cav's could be the team of destiny this year... But the Warriors are such a great outside shooting team, you just can't stop there 3's from raining down .... If I had to put money down I might go Cav's just because Lebron wants this SO fricking bad for his home-town, and there healthy this time... But then again the Warriors just have this never die spirit and are arguably best outside shooting team the NBA has ever seen ... My gut can't lean either way... So I have no choice but to break out the popcorn and just enjoy....

It was Becca.....a person that hung out in the baseball threads.

Give me Cle in 7

 

[Mecca]

At the end of the season.....Russell was impressing me.

Told you.

Lakers are in a great position in this draft.

If you get Ingram, you get a perfect compliment for Randle's bull in a China shop, inside game.

Dude can shoot and would open up the floor for everyone.

If you get Simmons, he has Star potential, can play either forward spot and will have instant chemistry with Russell since they played together.

Plus, it wouldn't hurt for DeAngelo to have a strong ally in that locker room to grow with.

I feel like I'm the FN historian....a little over 7 years there, almost 175k comments, and over 2k in TD's.

I saw Simmons play a few games but not very familiar with Ingram.

Is there reason to be concerned at all that LSU sucked with a talent like Simmons? Does it speak to his lack of leadership at all? This is something I've been thinking about lately.

Ingram is better and fits the Lakers needs right now because he's a better shooter and defender. Simmons is more talented overall and has more upside.

Maybe. Much of the blame seems to be falling on having a team that wasn't very talented and a coach who wasn't very good though.

Where were you last night?

Just watching the game with people I usually don't post during the game lol
