NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[gordontrue]

But, it's pretty obvious you guys can't beat em in a fair fight...

What was unfair about that game 3 beat down?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I agree that its a weak mentality for coaching staff and players to have. They should be have the attitude that they'll beat who ever walks out onto the court no matter who it is. They should really want to beat the team at their best.

But for a front office to lobby for one side of a decision. Its just smart, imo.

I agree with this and it's part of the usual process and protocol.....but the cavs went way overboard in the media to plead their case.
The incident in question did not warrant the outcome....the punishment didn't fit the alleged crime.

The pt. system is flawed. The NBA exceeded their bounds.

I don't want to see a guy get hurt. But, it's pretty obvious you guys can't beat em in a fair fight...

Did you watch Game 3? And Cleveland was down one of their Big 3 as well.

Everyone is getting all nuanced about the language of rules and whether Cleveland has any ground to stand on for asking for another game. But, that is not the issue at all.

It would all be a non-issue if Green could simply resist the urge to keep making contact with another dudes junk repeatedly.

How freaking difficult can it possibly be?? It seems like that should be the first rule of basketball.

He should sit a freaking year if it happens again. Enough is Enough.

I have a question about your Spurs.

If you can't get Conley or Durant , would they consider Rondo or Howard?

I'd pay money just to see what Pop does the first time Rondo gives him attitude in the huddle.

The SPurs have always been good with reclamation projects.

FTR... while I think that Draymond has mostly himself to thank for the suspension (3 of his 4 flagrant points were lenient if anything)... I personally think the proper penalty was a tech. Looks more like a tech than a flagrant foul to me.

I just don't see it as an egregious outrageous decision.

Yeah, I saw the 3 games the Cavs lost as well.

The Warriors can still win if Curry or Klay doesn't play well.

The Cavs have no shot if Bron and Kyrie don't go video game.

meh... Who's math isn't bad?

err...mine...

check THIS out. 1 win=SECOND Dubs title 2 years runnin'...

 

[Black Adam]

He's excited because he's thinking about touching penis.

hehe, why's it ALWAYS gotta be about THAT...?

 

[Black Adam]

Imagine if he was suspended for two games.

According to ESPN's Zach Lowe, that is the outcome the Cavs pushed for.

"I'll tell you, the Cavs wanted him suspended for two games," Lowe said on The Lowe Post podcast (6:38). "I can tell you that. They wanted it to be a flagrant-2 and to have him suspended for Game 5 and Game 6."



#pathetic

I can't fucking wait until the Warriors finish this off.

no doubt...

"ALL'S fair in love and war", right...?

That was one game, Gordon.

I think the Warriors are the better Team.

this is CL67, and I OFFICIALLY approve of this post...

Part of getting Aldridge meant losing some lost post offense and 3-point shooting depth.
The Spurs knew that 2016-17 would be the year to add back some of the lost depth. It was planned.

The SPURS needed another low post scorer depth.
They are likely going to bring in Gasol for the midlevel exception as instant low post offense.

And they have a fully stocked arsenal of Euro shooters that are all finally ready. It was done on purpose.
I expect Bertans to come over this season and take Matt Bonner's roster spot.

They should be better next year. They might not win 67 games, but they will be a lot better.
People forget this was only year one of the complete Spurs makeover.

I gotcha. I think most people do.

It takes 4 "fights" to win the series.

Cavs have absolutely proven that they can win a fair "fight" because they've done it. Whether they'll be able to win 2 more is yet to be determined.

and I DO get that, Mecca. but it seems she ain't the only one who ain't buyin'...

look, I get where you're comin' from, but even DJ was saying this guy has some shaky history and imo where there's smoke, there's fire...

not trying to start anything with anybody. just takin' it really with a grain of salt...

I hear you on this. Thing is, I think pulling a dead relative excuse is the ultimate bitch move when it comes to avoid taking slack from random people on an internet forum.

DJ probably is right, he's interacted with Wiggy far before I have. But who knows? I usually err on the side of caution with shit like this. If Wiggy's making it up, than that shit's on him. I won't take that chance on giving someone shit and calling him out when it could be that his grandmother actually passed away.

If Gasol signs with the Spurs, that will be just unfair.

Gasol would be absolutely perfect.

considering the one who posted that silliness ...are you really surprised?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

That was one game, Gordon.

I think the Warriors are the better Team.

After game 4, they earned up to 3 chances to prove it.
That number easily could be down to 1 after tonight.

Exactly.

I don't know about anyone else....

But, I'm giving him the business if the Cavs lose.

One thing doesn't cancel out the other.
