NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[TurnUpTheHeat]

isnt that an oxymoron? Miami fanbase? --- like military intelligence...or jumbo shrimp...

Speaking off, you keep ignoring actual attendance stats when comparing fan bases.
Wonder why?

ehhh....i totally acknowledge that LeBron can be an arrogant, egotistical ass at times.....however- he is not scumbag like Kobe...big difference there. LeBron has dumb a lot of DUMB things and egotistical things...but as of yet he really hasnt done too many scummy things - and Kobe has a few of those to his name.

Dumb, as in going back there to collect 2 runner up trophies?

Ducked in here to see what kind of stuff is being said about this series, only to find an argument about Miami Heat attendance.

Warriors in 7. Why isn't anyone picking that?

 

[msgkings322]

Someone who knows how should put up a poll so we can all go on record in an easy to see place

Klay did struggle a lot in that series. I wouldn't expect it to happen again, especially with the way they're playing right now.

Cavs fans point to their offense being supremely better, but it was their defense and slowing the pace of the game that really confused and flustered the Warriors in last year's finals. If the Cavs want to get into an up and down game with the Warriors, then that IMO heavily favors the Warriors.

The Cavs will not trot out a traditional center during the game, which really helps the Warriors seeing as it has been their weakest position so far in these playoffs. The Warriors have the moving parts to defend the Cavs 4/5 position and the threat of their outside shooting.

Both teams possess explosive offenses. This series is going to come down to who defends better. If the Cavs space the floor, the Warriors really have to worry about dribble penetration from Lebron and Kyrie. Alternately, the Cavs are going to have to worry about how they defend the pick and roll with Love and Kyrie.

Tim Legler made mention of that today on First Take today. Stephen A. Smith made mention that Cleveland's shooting the 3 better than the Dubs. Those numbers are inflated because of the series with Atlanta because they decided to pack the pain and chase Irving and Lebron without guarding the perimeter. He made mention that getting into a shoot out with the Warriors and playing their game is not the way to go.

Also starting tonight would mean either an unnecessary break til game 2 because the NBA hates having their stand alone game on Friday/Saturday if they can avoid it

Yep, the Finals are always played on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursdays.

They actually changed the schedule up a lot this season due to Lebron crying about rest last year. Next week there will be games on Wednesday and Friday instead of Tuesday and Thursday

The rest might actually help the Warriors. The more you take out other factors that could level the playing field, such as fatigue, the more I like the chances of the better team.

Fucking stupid! Why would they have a game on a Friday night? Dumbasses! I never seen a superstar complain so much about the schedule and need so much rest during the season, than Lebron.

Coming from the tool that was an OKC fan two years ago when Lebron was in Miami. The irony.

This finals will feature 6 former Arizona players. Which may be a record if anyone cares to look that up. Former Arizona players are guaranteed to receive at least 2 rings and as many as 4.

Warriors: Steve Kerr, Luke Walton, Bruce Fraser, Andre Iguadala
Cavaliers: Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye

Also I know Bret Brielmaier was an assistant of some sort with Cleveland but I'm not sure what his status is now. If he is that would make 7 Arizona players.

All players were coached by Hall of Famer Lute Olson.

FUCK, can this start already?

I think the thing I'm worried about the most in this series is draymond possibly getting suspended
