Series Thread: NBA Finals: Warriors vs Cavaliers

[wildturkey]

Totally agree. My whole point was if Kyrie and Lebron continues to score 70+ then G5 will be a whole lot closer than games 1 and 2.

So, the blueprint from last year. Those two play out of their minds, the Warriors have an off game and/or make some dumb plays, and we get some kind of outside action (ie Green suspension, shitty refs, or injury)

After game 3, everyone said Cavs played their best and still lost. That was crazy talk. Cavs missed over 30 3's in Game 3. Shot like 25% from 3. And they still had a shot to win.

And now people are saying cavs have to play like this to win? Uh... correct me if I'm wrong but the Cavs won this game wire to wire in a blowout. I don't think the Warriors were within 10 in the entire 2nd half.

Good point, but what does this have to do with game 5?

Keep hoping, I like that.

Fouls: GSW 26, CLE 24
Free Throw Attempts: GSW 36, CLE 31
Flagrant Fouls: CLE 1, GSW 0

Totally rigged guys

Nothing.

Nothing.

Good.

I actually have no problem with that whole scenario.

A) Bottom line, Dray didn't deserve to be ejected.

B) I actually thought the first tech was on Kerr when it happened. I think it was a legit mixup between the refs and the scoring table .

They do have to play like this in order to win to a certain extent. I'm not saying they need to hit 24 3's to win but Kyrie/Lebron going for 70+, Love chipping in for another 15+, and getting solid play from at least 2 or 3 role players is what is necessary for them to beat this warriors team

I think the scorer screwed that one up. When it happened live, I knew it was on Kerr. They even showed an angle of Kerr charging up, the ref calling the T and looking his way. Regardless, that entire crew was an embarrassment

Yeah, that I'll agree with. They pretty much did that both games in CLE, and had a shot to win in both games.

This game was a blowout cause they were hitting 3s at an amazing rate. Last game was a toss-up because they were missing their 3s at an amazing rate.

yeah, tonight he figured out how to crack Klay's defense for sure. he better double down on that this Monday...

He was getting the switch that he'd been looking for all series.

So Kyrie took offense to the warriors saying they wanted to end the series tonight lol wow.

What were they supposed to say? We want to lose this game on purpose and head back to Oracle for another game. If that's not the stupidest thing to take offense to.

No one wants to win and closing out a series in any sports is the toughest thing to do, so I will give the Cav's credit for finally showing up. Had they showed up in games 1 and 2, they might be down 2-1 or tied up.

That being said, however I do not see the Cavaliers getting the high volume of fouls called in California. I also have a hard time thinking that that Cleveland can sustain their game and hold the Warriors down for three more games, but stranger things have happened

 

[LAD]

Oh first y'all think he's a punk, now you have him in a Cavs jersey. So sad....

Anything involving Marc Davis is an embarrassment.

LeBron throwing the ball of the glass to himself and dunking it in an elimination game in the NBA Finals is just amazing.

He's not lying
