Series Thread: NBA Finals: Warriors vs Cavaliers

[purguy12]

good point on the show: If KD can make it his team and over take Curry then it might turn the image of KD move. Right now Curry is still the face of GS but if KD can win a couple championships and a couple MVP's and become the Face of GS then it will change everything.

I think that is why LBJ left Miami because he knew it was never going to be his team. It would always be Wades team until he retires because he won at miami with out LBJ and always be 1 up on LBJ.

Good points on the show today.

lol @thinking Stephen A. and Skip Bayless agreeing is a good thing and gives you credibility.

They aren't on 1st take anymore. LOL

If the Lakers don't draft Lonzo Ball Lavar sayz he'll sue the NBA.

Wow.

And you actually believe you are winning this argument?

Miami was Wade's team? Not when they won their two titles. But don't take my word, ask the resident Heat fans on the board.

Serious?

 

[OregonDucks]

Only watching tonights game to see if the Warriors beat the Cavs by 20+

 

[Wamu]

Serious?

Yes, very serious.

 

[msgkings322]

Lol @the bold.

Seriously?!? I can see it now...the story comes out that the Warriors could have added KD but decided not to because they would be too good. I'm sure Warriors fans would be really happy to hear that.

And purguy would be posting how great and smart the Warriors were for refusing to take him

No I know GS can't say No to KD. IM talking about the situation as an NBA fan and looking it from the outside. Its way more gutless on KD especially he was 1 game away from beating GS last year. Gutless on GS for even going after KD but once KD shows interest I understand they had to continue to try and land him. Im just saying this new age of basketball players (most) is weird and strange. Im use to the great players wanting to beat the great ones and take their team to the championship.

It is a different era, and I can respect a different opinion on it, superduper stars teaming up didn't happen like it does now (not just Durant by the way). I don't have a problem with it but if some do that's fine.

But you need to at least appreciate the quality of basketball you are seeing when the Warriors are rolling. It's like the apotheosis of what everyone says they want to see in a team: unselfish play, passing, fast pace, great defense, plenty of wow moments, good shooting, literally anything you would want to see. There's value in that to a fan of the sport.

Compare that to the NCAA tournament. So many folks say "ooh I love the tournament so much heart so much passion". Yeah and so much terrible basketball and 54-50 games.

Or even the past eras. Oh those physical teams back then, that was REAL basketball. Detroit once beat Indiana in a playoff game 69-67 or something like that. Uh, no thanks.

Cavs will be lucky to win a game. Some of us said it before the series. The ONLY hope they have is if a key Warriors player gets suspended/Injured.

I called the Warriors in 5 but Im not even sure the Cavs make it that far.

I'm sure they are capable of winning at least 2 of them.

JR Smith Says Warriors Have Player Who 'Keeps Kicking People in the Nuts'

Isn't that why they wear jock straps?

100% Wades team. That is a fact. There is not much of an argument there. Please don't go there. Im not even going to waste my time with that argument. The last one was easy this one will be taking candy from a child.

Ask any NBA fan Face of Miami and most would say Wade, Morning or Pat. Some people already forgot LBJ played in Miami. LOL

Im going to the 49ers vs Wash game this year.

 

[Kold]

This was a pretty fun read. Goes in depth about GS adjustment

 

[Black Adam]

Not sure if you want to motivate this team anymore. Stupid comment by JR Smith IMO.

JR Smith Says Warriors Have Player Who 'Keeps Kicking People in the Nuts'

saw this last night. keep up the good work, Cavs...

 

[Black Adam]

My prediction for tonight is a close game.

Warriors 114
Cavs 109

I think the Cavs double up their effort from game 1, but the Dubs break it open in the 4th...

Dubs 116...

Cavs 104...

I don't watch much basketball, but that was an incredible performance by the Warriors the other night. If they bring anything near that pace and intensity the rest of the series I don't see how the Cavs win a game.

For those who watch the Warriors more often, was that an especially good performance from them ?

 

[DorianRo]

Lebron only left Miami because he saw Wade's knees going and physically not as capable anymore. He knew the "Honeymoon" was over so he decided to go and direct collusion in Cleveland to make them a stacked team. Lebron never would have left Miami if Wade was healthy since they were even more stacked than the Cavs are.

Miami would have had a better shot at this soon to be dynasty Warriors team than the Cavs are. (Who are missing one other all star to beat beat them... At least at full strength)

They are capable of playing a lot better offensively for sure. If they get their offense is check, this entire series could be a quick 4 game blowout
