NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[DJ]

Yes, it means the Cavs have to travel to Da Bay while the Warriors get 2 full days off. Oh, and they already know how to beat the Cavs.

I smile every time I see you on here and the pic of your little angel.

This. The Warriors had the tougher Conference Finals matchup and looked better in dispatching the Thunder than the Cavs did vs the Raps.

thinking the same, actually. if we're comparing how both teams have been "tested" I think the nod goes to the Warriors there...

 

[gordontrue]

I'd be okay with you being right.

me too...

Well I wouldn't

 

[Black Adam]

Well I wouldn't

well, yeah but...you're a Cavs fan...

your vote don't count...

 

[DJ]

I've got the Warriors......avatar bet anybody? 2 weeks.

This. The Warriors had the tougher Conference Finals matchup and looked better in dispatching the Thunder than the Cavs did vs the Raps.

Warriors: Down 3 - 1... only Klay playing consistently, get absolutely blown out twice.... win in 7.

Cavs: Competitive in every game, blow out the other team twice, win in 6.

The Thunder are obviously a better team than the Raptors but the disparity is not nearly as large as people are making it out to be.

The 2nd half of game 7 is honestly the first time I've seen the Warriors look themselves. Meanwhile the Cavs have looked better than themselves all playoffs long.


I expect, understand and have no problem with statements that the Warriors are better and the favorite to win..... but to say that the Warriors have looked better than the Cavs in the playoffs is about as wrong as an opinion can be, in mine.

OKC did defend well and GS knocked down tough shots but I saw plenty of shots especially in late game 6 and 7 where you need to just force Curry to drive and when they did he had to deal with the bigs which wasn't always easy. It is easier said then done and I think it will help if James or TT is on the switch or pick-and-roll.

Until they took the bigs out...I don't recall Adams being in the much at all in the 4Q....there were more than a few times Curry drove and seem to have little intention to finish, but he drew the D and was able to kick the pass out for a wide open shot....that's kinda when I thought GS was good to go...2 or 3 guys hit 3s not names Curry or Thompson during that stretch.

 

[DJ]

Easy to do because he's not very good at it.

True.

The Cavs are done before the Finals even start. We all know that upsets in the Finals have never ever-ever happened. Well except in...'69, '70, '73, '77, '04 & '11.


I'd drop the fuckin' mic but this fatass broke 'em all..

I'm in.... but if the Cavs lose I'd have to serve my 2 weeks after serving 2 weeks for Turnup.

Over/under 7.5 W's for the Lakers next year?

A sweep of the Celtics?

 

[Wamu]

Pac 10....

If they would join the 12 Pac I'd have to rank them as the 13th bestest team in that conference.
