Series Thread: NBA Finals. Cleveland vs. Golden State...

[OutlawImmortal]

Just keep playing JR Smith forever Ty Lue.

I am sorry, but Ty Lue has to actually do something if he is being paid to coach.

Smith has been the worst player on the court for 10 consecutive playoff games now for Cleveland.

There is no sane reason not to at least try somebody else. How could they possibly do any worse??

I just don't see who he should play. They are all pretty bad. Clarkson needs the ball in his hands to produce, Hill has been bad more often than good, Hood hasn't fit with the Cavs all year, Korver is good but doesn't have the athleticism to keep up with the Warriors and JR does have that athleticism but he makes fatal mental errors and is generally streaky.

I know their great, I know the Cavs dont belong on the same court as them, they are literally a one man team, like literally, its Lebron vs the Warriors

actually there's really no arguing this...

Boston with Kyrie and Hayward this year would have. They took him 7 without those guys

Heck, Olidipo took them to 7 games in round 1 lol

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Wonder what happens in the ECF if Kyrie AND Hayword are playing.

#ThingsThatMakeYouSayHmmm

Kyrie has now missed 2 out of the 3 biggest series of his career

What was it you were saying about Chris Paul?

 

[Heatles84]

Maybe maybe not. Would have had some veterans at least instead of all these young kids. Maybe they could have pulled out the first game

Those veterans that wouldn't have been able to keep up athletically with this Warriors team.

I dont understand why JR is in there either. There's loyalty and there's stupidity. The lack of bench use, the lack of adjustments, the lack of a strategy means lue is not a good coach.

When have we seen the Warriors "freak out"?? This is why people laugh at you.

Game 7 of 2016. Zero points in the last 4:30 of the game when up by seven. You could see when they lost game 5 that a little uncertainty was setting in and then they got whipped in game 6. Game 7 they were really tight.

Amazing how it takes like 5 All Stars to beat one player

Think about that

"If the Celtics just had 2 more All Stars"

LOL

Right after the "Kyrie Irving would have helped this series" Post

#yourerightcantmakethisshitup

I think it is funny, actually that in one breath you claim it's easy to root for 4 AS then say CP3 being hurt is why they won.

KD, Klay, and Curry went 14/28 from 3. Every time the Cavs made a run and cut the lead, the warriors would answer with a back breaking 3. Every single time.

 

[DorianRo]

Well.. Cavs had their one shot in Game 1. Blew it and that was any chance they had in the series. Warriors will win one in Cleveland and wrap it up at home.


Sad in a way because if the Cavs could have stole won in GS this may have been a very good series down to the wire. Now its just looking like we all assumed it would

I was just responding to your ridiculous "When do you see the Warriors freak out"

 

[Montalban]

As opposed to being down 2-0 in the finals trouble?

Good point. Don't count them out yet though. if they come out and win their home games its a series again. Pressure will be on the Dubs to win game 5 or risk losing in Cleveland in game 6.

 

[Robotech]

The final score wont show it, but this game showed me the Cavs can be competitive in this series. On the road, warriors going nuclear from 3, cavs not playing great, and they kept up for most of the game.

LeBron didn't score 50, but I think the Cavs played just about as good as they did in Game 1, but the Golden State shotmaking was too good this game.

Warriors seem to mail in that one game, even against the Spurs and Pelicans, so Id give the Cavs one of the next 2 for sure, than its over

Here's some help, and please take notes.
Bos didn't go get Kryie to dethrone Cle. However, that's EXACTLY what Hou did. Onliest problem is they picked an injury prone PG. Yea, those are the same scenarios.

Well maybe if all the other players didn't have to figure out what James feels like doing every possession they'd look better. There was a play in the 2nd where KD was switching on a pick and West said "NO" and shoved him back in front of James. Do you think that anybody would ever do that the his highness?

That's why I never would want him on my team if I have some developing players. He's just going to turn the developing youth into roll players and it's going to stunt their growth. He's an all time great talent but he bights off way more than he can chew.

Cavs will in game 3. They won't win game 4 though

Of course the Celtics got Kyrie to dethrone Cleveland

Why else would they get him?
