Game Thread: Warriors @ Cavs 8 PM EST TNT

[LAD]

Typical JR Smith nonsense

Exactly.....um um um um um. So sad.

Cavs best chance at winning the finals is to hope and pray that OKC makes it. I think they match-up with OKC really well. Don't think they have anything for GSW or SAS in a best of 7 if both teams are healthy

Wow that's a flagrant 2? WTF

I think it was a flagrant 1. When you lower your shoulder like a linebacker & this is basketball it's a bit much.

Yeah but flagrant 2 seems a little ridiculous. His reputation got him that flagrant 2

Even then, Westbrook has a field-day in that series. Shump and LeBron are the only ones on the team that can guard him. I'm not liking the Cavs' chances this year. I'm starting to have doubts if they'll even make it out of the East.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

What a horseshit call. No chance now without JR's shooting.

What do you mean?
You got Love and Kyrie back.

Enough with the excuses.
This so far has been a good old fashioned ass whooping.

To be fair, every team lays a couple rotten eggs a year, but I never thought the Cavs would tonight.

This game reminds me of Memphis opening night performance vs the Cavs this year.

They will make it out the east rather easily.

Have you been watching? JR was the only one playing consistent in the 1st half. Kyrie and Love have both sucked tonight.

Nm, I found the real overreaction

overreaction imo

They're not beating this team in a series and I doubt they beat SAS in a series especially when you consider that they'll likely need to win twice in GSW or SAS as they won't have HCA and those teams are likely to win 1 road game in Cleveland.

Oh yea totally agree. And he should remember he's a professional & play like so.

Agreed, but the plain truth is SA and GS are better than OKC so everyone matches up better with OKC.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Running through a screen is now a flagrant 2. What a joke

I think it was a combination of the score, the player involved, and the refs not wanting this to get out of hand.
I doubt he's tossed if the game was close, but I also doubt that Smith runs into him like that if the game was close.

It's still finals or bust, and I believe we're the best in the East, but the way we've been playing? It isn't going to happen. This team needs to show me more.

I'm going to wait to see GSW and OKC.

OKC played them really close last year and I believe Durant only played in 1.5 games.

Yeah that's what skip said on his twitter account. He thinks they ejected him because knowing JR, the situation would have likely escalated if they kept him in the game.

 

[Jakology]

The crowd is dead is fuck. Damn. Couldn't even get a defense chant going.

Sure let's see 'em play. But your original post in this thread shows you're like the rest of us, no crystal ball.
