NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[Across The Field]

True about Love.

But, Paul is really hard on teammates.

As for Melo, It's about more than talent.

Melo, Wade, Bron, Paul all want to play buddy ball.

If we have Melo, the chances of Chris staying after the Season increases.

Big picture.

True, but honestly - do you think Melo would be any easier for Paul to deal with? He seems like the biggest headcase in the league on the court. Who knows, maybe Paul is just what he needs.

 

[Black Adam]

That would be hilarious. Isn't it up to the team/owners to decide?

one of the funnier things was watching ol' Raggedy Andy doing the flop jobs he was KNOWN for doing in Cleveland and watching Cavs fans bitch about it...

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Holy shit, that would be amazing. I don't know much about the makeup of the Suns, is that something that would make sense for them?

Absolutely.

They just traded their starting Pf to the Wiz Kids because he was sad he couldn't have nightly Summer parties with his brother.

They have a big ole gapping whole in their roster.

But, they have Bledsoe, Godwin, Brandon Knight and Booker.

3 of those guys are starters. But, they only have 2 spots.

After the end of the season, there is no putting the Booker genie back in the bottle.

Plus this.....

Aran Smith: Another PHX rumor: Rich Paul will push to have Eric Bledsoe moved this offseason putting Kris Dunn in play at 4 as well.

Doc will do anything to try to keep Paul.

Man, I would love to see Bledsoe in Cleveland, and if we can get the 4 pick, that would be more for the better. Not sure if they'd give it up but damn, it's intriguing.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

ive heard the valanquor little brother is Jaime---he was the 2nd twin....little mis-direction.

The reason I think it's not is he will literally do ANYTHING to be with her.

The reason I think it could be him is she will try to do the very thing that made him kill the mad king.

So, who the fuck knows...lol

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

what? this doesnt make sense.

What doesn't make sense?
You forgetting games 3-4?
You forgetting he didn't start game 5?
You forgetting the Cavs did better in game 6 when he was out in foul trouble?

This and Robert Downey as a black guy were the best parts of this movie....lol

Love Tropic Thunder, I laugh every time I see the asian dude say "booty sweat"

The Suns and every team better pass on Dunn so the Kings can select him

it's stuff like this that's gonna make Thursday so fun...

THINK the draft starts at 4 btw...

PST...

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I want to see CLE/GSW III though to see if the Warriors can beat the Cavs with Irving. I doubt it. ;

You act like the Cavs dominated the series.

If the series was being played again next week, who here that picked the Warriors wouldn't pick them again?

Despite the Warriors losing, playing in the West, they are still the Vegas favorite to win next year.

Plus, factor in the winning vs losing carry over.

It's very hard to repeat.

Heat did it by the skin of their teeth.

You broke your curse.

Yep.....I was glad they got a taste of what the rest of the league had to deal with for the last 10 years.

Say what you want about Draymond and his antics.

He is a highly skilled, Swiss army knife.

Anderson is Mark Madsen, wearing a shirley temple wig, pretending he's trying out for a part on the Young and the Restless.

That's not basketball.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

i questioned it? how so?

I am all for competitive balance--- but the media and salary cap have already done it-- 10-20 years ago you NEEDED to be in a Big Market....

LeBron James in 2007 was the biggest endorser in the league in Cleveland- and Dwight Howard was #2 in ORLANDO...lol.

you dont need to be in a big market anymore to be a marketing force. The punitive salary cap has taken away the advantage of having boku bucks unless you REALLY want to spend with a maverick owner like Dan G. or Cuban...the league has never been deeper with all the talent from all over the world that was simply not here 10-20 years ago.

League is a COMPLETELY different place than it was just 10 years ago. All teams have to adapt- but the changes have been good for most teams- but limiting to a few that had enjoyed such great advantages before. I think we can all guess which teams are which.

Again, list the years deep pockets Gilbert ( the man who most wanted a hard cap) paid luxury tax when James wasn't on the roster..

Spoiler

NEVER AND NEVER WILL

Here is my reaction if Dunn is gone before the Kings pick

i said that the Cavs will be dealing from a position of strength because they won instead of a position of weakness and pressure if they would have lost. They dont HAVE to do shit. They can wait for a deal that they cant refuse- and if they dont get it- they can run with what they got which was PLENTY to win a historic NBA title.

Danny Ainge was PRAYING the Cavs lost......when the Warriors lost- he lost a huge part of his leverage.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Well I mean if I knew that cheating and trickery was acceptable then of course I may have made a better prediction.

But, even being wrong this season I still have nothing on your mountain of TOTALLY WRONG predictions of the Cavs even making the playoffs let alone a Finals prior to LBJ going back.

^^^The Cavs cheated it doesnt count

You want some cheese with that whine

I respectfully disagree.
And, don't kid yourself, quit using the word Cavs and replace it with LeBron ( assuming he's staying).
It's HIS choice. Period.

And PLENTY?
You've lost your fucking mind.
They won fair and square, I won't even use the word luck because James was so dominant, but don't kid yourself, the Warriors are a far more talented TEAM. Cavs were the better team last week.
Losing games 5,6 was only their second 2 game losing streak of the season.
Losing 5-7 was their only 3 game losing streak of season.

Again, you should be thrilled with the win, but quit confusing it with great played basketball or some type of dominance.
