Series Thread: NBA Finals: Warriors vs Cavaliers

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Meh....
Cavs played with total do or die, reckless abandon, nothing to lose (not gonna go out with a sweep at chicken bones arena in what might be LBJ's final game as a Cavalier type ball) and got lots of help energy wise from their crowd....as well as some very nice calls by the zeebs...and Boom...perfect recipe for a game 5.


As a result the Dubs will have the pleasure of closing it out at home by dropping the hammer & lowering the boom in Oracle on Monday night to win the title rubber match.

Great effort by the Cavs but I don't see them playing like this for 3 more games. I really wanted the 16-0 in the playoffs but the W's played to win this game until the starters were pulled, even though it was a lost cause.

Not really, they came out in the first half really flat not playing to win, ref shenanigans or no

 

[msgkings322]

This is why sweep was very unlikely. I had Ws in 7 and while that may be too hard on the Ws, it's in play. I prefer this drama to a total beatdown, and so does Adam Silver.

Yeah too bad the Cavs gave up Game 3 when they had it in control. That is too bad, could be 2-2. Ohh well, either way they have to get to 4 wins lol

Didn't deserve the 16-0 anyway. If it wasn't for Zaza's clumsy and ugly ass, the Spurs Vs. GSW series probably would've been 6 games at least. You guys probably still win it tho. To hell with Zaza and his stupid family who he says is being " threatened". What a cry baby. I bet the guy lives in a gated community.

How's things going down there in the Alamo city these days???
I have some fond memories from when I was stationed there during my Air Force days at Lackland AFB & Randolph over in Universal City. Are Brackenridge Park & all the clubs on the River walk still around & partying? I rented a nice apartment up in New Braunfels for a few months too. Also had some friends in the Army assigned to Brooke AMC. Nice town...Good Times.
The Spurs were still an ABA team back then..and George Gervin was at the beginning his career.

Green: Cleveland fans not 'sharpest people'

I'm glad the Warriors lost. Now the Lakers record of only losing one game during the playoffs is intact!

Shame the cavs had to win though!

Kyrie and Lebron went for 77 in game 3 and 71 tonight. They scored 52 and 48 in games 1 and 2. That is a huge difference and takes pressure of Love and the others to produce big numbers

Helped that Love was 6 of 8 from the 3.

 

[tlance]

Cleveland had an epic shooting night. It wasn't just Kyrie and Love.

Even Deron WIlliams scored. LOL.

I have never seen a team lose when they hit 24 3s and I doubt I ever will. Golden State did not defend well early and every time they looked like they were about to make a run, Cleveland hit a couple more 3s. Great game by the Cavs.

Now, I want to see if they can bring that energy on the road. Golden State will not come out flat in game 5.

 

[shopson67]

I would do it.

But, maybe Replace Zeller since the Cavs already did that dance.

I'd try to get the Celtics to eat JR or Shump too.

Unfortunately, the Celtics' PF options are all expiring (Olynyk, Jerebko, Amir) or I would've included one of those.

 

[shopson67]

Beyond impressive game from the Cavs in game 4. Not only did they shoot the lights out from 3, they went to the line 20 times in that first quarter to get that separation. Every time the Warriors started to whittle down that lead, they stopped the roll and extended the lead again.

On to game 5, can the Cavs keep it up? Usually role players are better at home, so those 3%s might flip a bit. Depends on how much the Cavs can keep that momentum rolling.

Hard to go 16-0 in the playoffs.

Maybe too hard.

16-1

me too. even got to the old Hemisfair Arena to take in a Spurs game when i was doing basic down there...

only thing i hated were the droves of bats ...

Good game last night kind of. I didnt catch it until after the yankee game. Those refs should all be suspended. That was the worst i ever saw. They were bad for both teams and it made the game hard to watch.

Cavs get their 1 hot game and this thing wil be over monday. Irving keeps showing he is the man in cleveland and LBJ plays a perfect #2 with his passing. This is not a bash on james. Im saying that role. LBJ is the better player but Irving is the better scorer.

Funny part cavs get 1 win and they acting like they won the championship. Lol it was actually sad to see . I would like them to get 1 more win so i can get GS in 6.

 

[purguy12]

Warriors 89-89 Cavaliers, 3:40 4th quarter

The Warriors didn't score another point.

Three top 30 guys shouldn't have zero points in the last 3 1/2 min of THE BIGGEST GAME.

See how misleading that fact can be?

Doesnt make sense. GS did score. Lol.

They missed some REALLY easy calls, like the back court violation on Kyrie.

Yeah or whe LBJ hit the ball out and gave the ball to Cavs or how easy they called T's or took a T back on green(happythey did because he shouldnt never got the 2nd one). Overall it was bad and i only watched the 2nd half

 

[bksballer89]

No they didn't. Not in that game.
