Series Thread: NBA Finals: Warriors vs Cavaliers

Potentially.

I don't really care if he's here or not, but if I check this thread out and then minimize the window, or start working on something, it would show that I'm viewing the thread when I'm not.

Which means you were here at some point because one has to log in for their name to show at the bottom of the screen.

Absolutely. I was just saying that just because it shows he was viewing the thread for thirty minutes doesn't mean he was. There's no question that he was here.

lol, Wiggy is probably eating this shit up.

KD has beaten LeBron in game 1 before, so have the Warriors, both lost.

Wiggy is just getting material to use for when the Cavs win the next four and win this series in 5.

JUJICE in 5.

To illustrate, right after I post this, it's going to say that I'm viewing the thread, but I'm really going to be looking at ****.

Why did the bleep out fat girlz?

I wonder if Russell Westbrook is rooting for the Warriors?

I think everyone is overreacting to game 1. I keep hearing about how impressive they were in game 1. The Rockets were impressive in game 1 vs the Spurs. The Spurs were dominating the Warriors in game 1 before Kahwi went down. I believe Cavs take the series.

I don't think the Cavs take the series but I do agree there is lots of overreacting going on based on 1 game. I do think the Cavs need to win game 2. Don't see them winning 4 of 5 against this Warriors team this time around.

Maybe so, but could you imagine the next day narrative if Cavs come into the Bay & blow out this Dubs team?

Yeah, not getting that strategy of everyone running out to cover the 3-point area and letting KD get to the basket uncontested. I know they live off of analytics these days but even the best 3-point shooters are hitting at a 50% clip so if this situation happens twice, the team will get three points out of it but with an uncontested dunk they make those 100% of the time so they get 4 points. Doesn't make sense. Follow the old adage to "stop the ball first".

Not so fast.

Curry may shoot close to 50% from 3, but if he is left completely unguarded on a corner 3? He will hit that 80% of the time. Maybe more. It is a look he rarely gets. Most of his shots are off the dribble or a quick release with someone flying at him.

It is obviously not ideal to give up an uncontested dunk, but if the choice is a dunk or a wide open Curry 3, you are screwed either way. The Warrior crowd seems to get even more hyped by the 3 ball, so Giving up the dunk is not a terrible play. The break even percentage is 67%, and I guarantee Curry is hitting more than 2/3 if left wide open.

The key is avoiding those break situations in the first place.

Based on what? I am not overreacting. I thought the Warriors were better in July and I have seen nothing to make me think otherwise.

The Warriors are better in every facet of the game and they have home court advantage. The Cavs are really good, but the Warriors are truly great.

What's a corner 3 and what makes them easier?

I'm actually not joking. I don't know shit about basketball. I'm not a basketball fan.

 

[Wamu]

I think a corner 3 is the closest 3 attempt on the court.

Ah. I assumed the circle line was always the same distance from the basket. I guess it's not a circle...

I'm gonna go look at **** again.
