This is a game 2 type series tbh...

Whoever wins game 2 has about a 90% chance of winning the series...good win by GSW but not impressed yet

Waited a year to get Love & Irving back to absolutely no end.

If Golden State wins Game 2 they have a 100% chance of winning the series. If Cleveland wins Game 2 they have a 0% chance of winning the series.

Would u bet ur life on it? As James Worthy once said...it was way easier to lose a game by 20 than 2...those 2-6 point losses haunt u for days. Cleveland will be ready for game 2 tbh

Frankly, eve, I don't believe Cleveland knows how to get/be ready.

Lebron is so good he carries so much damn weight that when push comes to shove the team is lost in pivotal moments tbh...thats what lebron fans dont get. When Shaq had a bad game he would let Kobe take over, when Magic had a bad game he would let Pippen+Kukoc take over...when Lebron has a bad game the entire team panics and loses. I dont think he had a bad game today but nothing special.

[Relevancy]

the thing about this loss was that cleveland got beat by a bunch of bench players, that's embarassing

Exactly. If I told you that Curry +Klay had 20 points combined you wouldnt bet $1 on a GSW warrior victory by double digits. The problem is game 2 will be the opposite imho...the bench will not score much and curry and klay will show up.

You got a few things mixed up:
1) Shaq had bad games because Kobe tries to take over
2) You meant Jordan instead of Magic
3) It speaks to how bad Lebron's teammates are, which was the doing of his own ghost GMing raising its ugly head.

& if Kobe don't "took over" in Portland, '00, I'm light a triple & 2 doubles and Daddy is hangin' next to Sterling.

Even if cavs win game 2 their chances of winning the series is 50-50 at best. Sure, the Dubs did not look like a 73 win team but that was the most a bench has scored in a Finals game since tge Pistons in 1989 ...so that is a bad sign for Cleveland.
LeBron, Love and Kyrie all put up numbers bit most of that was in iso situations with limited ball movement. They will not beat the Dubs that way ...

Lol both mikes on espn picking believeland

Did Delas nutter have anything to do with Goldens take off in the 4th?

[InRareForm]

I was joking with my buddies that barbosa will make all these shots this game.... and sure enough he did. It's my fault

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Fun fact: the winner of game 2 has lost 4 of the last 6 NBA Finals

[TampaDude]

^ this, tbh

[spursistan]

How do you lose a Finals game when Curry/Klay combine for measly 20 fuckin' points ? :lol

Grim business for the Cavs..this series won't go beyond 5 games if GSW goes up 2-0..

The Cavs don't deserve to win any games if they allow Shaun Livingston to score 20. I'm happy for Livingston's comeback from what happened in 2007 and his journey through 9 teams including the D League all the way to where he's at now, but he has no business scoring 20 points in an NBA Finals game.

Why, because Media said it would be Love & Irving who would mark the spot? (Saying) & actually (doing) are world's apart. But, Media never gives a good shit about that difference. Obviously neither does Love & Irving. They believed Media as well.

Wade should have had 3 ft's to win the game, really wanted the Heatles to win that year, but it's whatever.

I'm ready to drank dat free agency koolaid up in dis bitch, yo!

[spursistan]

2007 aside, Lebron has split the first two games in all his Finals apperances..I expect a better effort/focus from Cavs..this game is probably their only shot at keeping a 40-45 % chance of winning this series..Don't see them winning 4 straights vs GSW or a Game 7 in Oracle..

It's already over.

As virtually always, in the NBA, when you're playing an elite team, without home court, you need to win game 1 and all three home games.

Even if they win tonight, they'd have to win 3 straight to hold serve at home, which isn't happening.

As a basketball fan, it is kind of wishful thinking on my part so we can get a competitive series :lol..But deep down, you know the title was a wrap for Warriors once OKC went into meltdown mode the last 5 minutes of Game 6..those type of experiences are emboldening for championships/elite teams; they rarely, if ever, look back once they achieve those type of narrow escapes..

Just like how the elite Spurs in 06 didn't have to look back once they came back down 20 in game 7 to lead late, right? My god stop posting already.
