Wrong about the splash bros. They've been stealing souls all season with their 3pt shooting ability. Remember the game in OKC on 2/27?
This is the reason Dubs fans never counted them out.

Yeah but to do THAT in back to back game is not likely. Btw Lad very good of you to show up here after a win. LOL

-Larry Dolan (Indians): dumb
-Dan Gilbert (Cavs): dumber
-Jimmy Haslam (Browns): dumbest

Cleveland has the 3 Stooges of professional sports owners.:L

Impossible. Dan Gilbert is the very epitome of what every owner should be like. - Wiggy

Stop it. I'm here whether they win or lose. But funny how we didn't see much of you though.

BTW- how's that crow tasting thus far? Two in a row with one more to go!!!!! :nod:

I know a lot of the talking heads have been touting OKC lately as the team that matches up best with Cleveland, but I think that is flat wrong. GS Is a nightmare matchup for the Cavs. Think about the most natural matchups for The dubs best defenders:

Green on Love
Iggy on LeBron
Klay on Kyrie

Now on the other side, who do Love and Kyrie guard? LeBron, as great as he is is not well suited to guard Klay because he does his best work on the ball, not chasing shooters. Bron could guard Green or Curry, but that creates matchup issues elsewhere. Tough decisions for Lue and Co if GS advances.

OKC, on the other hand, the matchups are much more natural for Cleveland.

Which is why I've been pulling for the Warriors.

STILL had to have been a lotta fun, though...

It was SO much fun. I never realized how game-similar it is. So much cheaper too, same thrill. Especially the kids, they didn't know the difference. Definitely will do it more often. The crowd was in some ways better than an actual playoff game live, not as many rich/corporate types, all die hards who would rather schlep to the stadium to be around other fans instead of watching at home or in a bar.

I'll be rooting for the Celtics. Which is pretty damn pointless since they got bounced outta the playoffs.

Wow you people have way more confidence in the warriors right now than I do.

Of course they are the favorite for game 7 but I give okc much more of a chance than most of you are.

What % you give OKC of winning? For me its about 47%

I give OKC about 30. Golden St.'s at home and has the momentum right now. The 30% comes from Durant and Westbrook.

Momentum means nothing in this series. OKC come out hot tomorrow night and all this momentum is gone

30% is really low IMO especially when you consider how OKC played in Golden State in this series
