NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[The Derski]

Kevin Love is a chicken shit, afraid to shoot player....all was good when he was in Minnesota and no one cared about the team and let him roam free..but now when everything is in the balance, he won't tale a shot.

He's a good player and a good shooter, he just absolutely has no chemistry with the rest of his teammates.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Dubs got this.

Yep!

Btw, we were two of the very few that had confidence in GS when they wer edown 3-1 to OKC

Absolutely great half. Golden State can't stop the pick and roll without Green anchoring the small ball lineup.

Curry and Klay are going to need at least 35 in the second half for GS to get this done.

I knew Draymond was a good all-around player. But it's amazing how bad the Dubs defense has been without him as it concerns the pick and roll. If Draymond's in the game, Lebron isn't having the game that he's having.

You gotta be thrilled if your Cleveland. You're getting everything you want and its not near as hard as its been. GS is really missing Green. They've trotted out every front court combo they've got and they've yet to find a defensive combination that works. Plus/minus don't lie.

Really, the Cavs should be up by close to 10. Klay Thompson is keeping GS in the game. The Cavs are still defending him with Smith/Shumpert/Jefferson. Put Lebron on him in the 2nd half. Iggy shooting 2s won't kill you, Klay's 3s will. Make the switch and we're looking at Game 6

Have to give the Cavs credit. They seem like the team that wants it more tonight.

They wanted it more for the 1st 24 min....but all they could muster was a tie at the half.

The Dubs will want it much more in the next 24....and they'll takeover this game in the 2nd half.

Not going to argue. Cleveland needed to open a large lead to start the game. I have a feeling the Cavs run out of gas.

Kevin Love in an elimination game........2 points in 18 minutes lol

Stick RJ out there in the 2nd half. He can do better than that.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

because it's what you do in a whole series, not just the elimination game.

He is averaging 24.8 / 10.6 / 6.6 / 2.2 / 1.6 on 50% shooting for the series

What else can he do?

I remember that game where he and KD were trading three pointers in over-time.

 

[Kold]

Man, the difference in having Draymond on/off the court is HUGE defensively on those pick and switches on Lebron

 

[Black Adam]

Not going to argue. Cleveland needed to open a large lead to start the game. I have a feeling the Cavs run out of gas.

we'll see, but I feel the same way. ESPECIALLY if it's only gonna be James and Irving providing the push...

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

He should get blamed for probably losing a series that he is a heavy under dog in?

Here we go with the excuses. Fuck that under dog shit. Cleveland have a good enough team to beat GS. Lebron is the greatest player in tge world and all we heard last year was if he had Irving and Love, they would've won. Now, we giving him another fucking excuse because Vegas have them as under dogs lol.

 

[trojanfight]

lebron can't play majority of 2nd half again and expect to win. cleveland needs to get out to a near double digit lead to have a chance at this

 

[Heatles84]

we'll see, but I feel the same way. ESPECIALLY if it's only gonna be James and Irving providing the push...

JR's having an ok game. But outside of Irving and Lebron, has any other player from the Cavs contributed at all?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Paul Pierce should keep his day job....

 

[Shanemansj13]

Klay was insane, on some of those shots you can do absolutely nothing. He always steps it up when they need him just like in the OKC series where he went off.

 

[Shanemansj13]

They should just make this a 3-on-3 game. Lebron, Kyrie and Smith vs Iggy, Steph and Klay

 

[Black Adam]

JR's having an ok game. But outside of Irving and Lebron, has any other player from the Cavs contributed at all?

EXACTLY my point...

 

[DJ Fieri]

I hope the 2nd half is as exciting as the 1st half was.

With both teams completely healthy, GS is going to win a 7 game series probably more than 75% of the time. Lebron's career is somewhat unlucky in that the top of the western conference is just always going to be a favorite against the Cavs in a 7 game series. GS, oKC and SA would all have been favorites.
