Series Thread: NBA Finals: Warriors vs Cavaliers

[Heatles84]

Here's another reason you screw yourself by waiting for the playoffs to flip the switch:

The Warriors have played elite defense all year long and earned their reputation of being an elite defense. That has an impact on officiating.

Draymond and Durant get the benefit of the doubt when contesting inside shots because they've earned it over the course of 100 games.

You. Get. It.

Shame other posters on here who'll remain nameless don't grasp this concept.

If I had to guess, Durant takes a 1+1 deal on a non-bird rights deal. Basically, he loses out on a few million for one year, but the Warriors retain some cap space. This will allow them to pay Livingston and Iggy. So basically, they'll be the same team for 1 more year. The next off-season is where it will get interesting.

Exactly. The problem though, is after next season Lebron will be looking at 34 years old and we won't have any idea what he'll look like. It could come to a point where the Spurs or another team (likely out West because the only team that could be on the rise in the East is Boston) will be the Dubs' best challenge.

Live look at LeBron trusting his teammates...

Have the cavs fans gone missing again?

Who surprisingly has only posted twice since Thursday.

Downright hilarious. But I went with Winner because of the accuracy.

On matters with Bay Area sports teams where I am considered a recognized expert, it usually does. James is a sorry attention hog who disappeared into the shadows when his team needed him most......again.

James disappeared? A triple double with 66% shooting from the field, 14 assists, 3 steals and a block is disappearing?

Your opinion doesn't make it fact. Running your mouth won't make it come true. James=GOAT

".....After his strong opening half, James shot just six times in the second half and just once in the fourth quarter......". But he whined to the refs at least 7 times; at least he kept that pace up.

""...After his strong opening half, James shot just six times in the second half and just once in the fourth quarter....." Enough said.

You don't come back against the Warriors with heroball. The only shot is timely outside shooting and hoping the Warriors make a few mistakes.

"Stephen Curry had more rebounds in Game 2 than Tristan Thompson has in the series so far"

Damn! Ain't that a bitch.

Or go to the basket and hope the refs bail you out like James did in the first half.

Hey @WiggyRuss - Where you at bro?

Hope the refs bail you out? wtf? How many FT did LeBron have? He drove non-stop and was not getting the calls.

That's irrelevant to the point anyway. LeBron did his thing and set the tone. He was incredible. The lead got out of control and he knew the only hope they had was getting his shooters going, which didn't happen.

At some point the other members of the Cavs have to occasionally contribute. JR Smith has 5 times more fouls than points scored. Tristan Thompson apparently thought the series started on June 7th.

LOL! He sure did. His one shot in the 4th quarter disappearing act set the tone for the blowout the game became. He got punked.

Its always been the way its been done. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but every podium I've ever watched over the last couple decades - until these last 2 games - the road team always goes first.

I've never paid attention to it. Whether it's always been done that way or not. It seems kind of petty to me.

Yep. Curry had more rebounds in game 2 than Tristan Thompson has for the entire series.

I didn't know you had another troll mode outside of "Warriors will lose". You're not good at it.

I'm in my physical prime right now, this is your time to pounce.

I only like white meat from a chicken. But thanks anyway.
