Meh
You think cavs are winning?Didn't they FINALLY stop choking when LeBron was gassed & Delly was cramping?
Score at he start of the 4th quarter:
Gm 1: Cavs
Gm 2: Cavs
75-73
62-59
Gm 3: Cavs
55-72
Gm 4: GSW
76-70
Gm 5: GSW
69-73
Gm 6: GSW
75-61
They won ONE game "easily" that was also Gm 6 when the Cavs were running on fumes.
They have a chance to win the series just like the 2013 Spurs against PEAK LeBron & 66 win Heatles.
Do you think Cleveland is clutch? There isn't a single clutch player on that team, maybe kyrie. They are gonna have to win close games
Kyrie is the perfect fit next to LeBron, he can do it w/ the ball in his hands or playing off the ball while LeBron plays point-forward. LeBron/Wade had issue in 2011 b/c neither of them was great off the ball. The Heat eventually surrounded LeBron w/ shooters to closeout games: Mike Miller, Ray Allen, Battier, Bosh, Chalmers, James Jones.
Now he has JR/Kyre/Love/Frye/Delly who are all knockdown shooters. Even ()Jefferson is a better fit next to Bron than Wade when he's playing point-forward.
Yeah but they play in the east, they wouldn't have beaten the spurs. They are getting dropped in 5. If they can steal 1 of the first 2 then it probably goes 7Kyrie is the perfect fit next to LeBron, he can do it w/ the ball in his hands or playing off the ball while LeBron plays point-forward.

Outside of Curry/Klay, GSW has a bunch of SHAKY 3 point shooters who can't hold a candle to JR Smith when he gets rolling.
True. but how many of those guys are going to be taking a wealth of 3's?Outside of Curry/Klay, GSW has a bunch of SHAKY 3 point shooters who can't hold a candle to JR Smith when he gets rolling.
And Barnes has hit some big ones even with limited touches the past few years ...
As has Iggy who is not even a as good a shooter as JR like you said ...
So we gonna roll with the guys that hit big shots in close games or the guys that only seem to hit them in blow-out games?
JR smith can be a flame-thrower and Kyrie can get hot too ... I dont trust the rest.
So who will hit more 3's?
Kyrie and JR or the splash brothers?
Also which backcourt will give up more on the other end?
I think Cavs can puch it to 7 if they steak game 1 or 2 ...
I just dont see how they win this UNLESS ...
LeBron is able to go in to god mode while also keeping those two guys plus Love all involved
AND also make up for the ty defense of Love, Kyrie, Smith and Frye ...
That is asking a whole lot.
if anyone can do it ..it's james. So no excuses let's see how he responds.
Don't even worry about it. They won't win. Klay Thompson set that record with 75% of his threes contested. The Cavaliers have no where near the length of the Thunder. Their best scorer shoots threes at 32%. All they have to do is let LeBron wear himself out and funnel him just like teams have been doing for the past years. Prevent offensive rebounds of course and don't turnover the ball. Most of all, hold the lead and do not give up the corner three. Its the recipe of LeBron James winning. Teams bailing him out.
Being up 3-1 without HCA isn't the most comfortable position in the world. You really have two games to win the series, not three. If you let the series get to that Game 7 on the road you're pretty much screwed. Coming back from 3-1 down without HCA, like what the Rockets did against the Suns in 1995, is way more difficult.
absolutely ... but come on Tait, almost all of the media and opposing fan-bases had
state buried at 3-1.
It wasnt Rockets level historic but impressive nontheless ...
I will say this Tiat, I dont think state could get away with spotting James a 3-1 or even a 3-2 lead.
Putting James that close to a le would be foolish. He could end state with a 35 10 and 10 masterpiece.
Warriors Thunder game 7 scores biggest NBA ratings in cable history
by Frank Pallotta @frankpallottaMay 31, 2016: 4:06 PM ET
Game 7 of the NBA's Western Conference Finals delivered in both action and viewership.
The Golden State Warriors 96-88 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder brought in an average viewership of 15.9 million for TNT on Monday night.
The highly anticipated win or go home match up between Steph Curry's Warriors and Kevin Durant's Thunder was cable's most watched NBA telecast of all time. It was also the the most watched program in the history of TNT.
The game peaked at 19.8 million viewers from 11:15 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. as the Warriors wrapped up the win.
Game 7 brought in big viewership in both the Bay Area and Oklahoma City where roughly 30% of the homes were watching the game.
TNT's NBA postgame show, "Inside the NBA," even saw big ratings bringing in an overnight rating of 4.8, the highest overnight rating for the show ever.
Overall, the game and the post game delivered the two top rated programs of the night across both cable and broadcast TV.
TNT, like CNN, is owned by Time Warner (TWX).
The Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder game 7 brought big action and big viewership to TNT.Related: ABC has its most watched NBA Finals ever
Golden State's win now sets up what could be a blockbuster NBA Finals for ABC.
The Warriors will be taking on LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night. This pits the two biggest stars in the NBA (if not the entire sports world) in a rematch of last year's heavily watched Finals.
The six games of the 2015 NBA Finals averaged 19.9 million viewers for ABC. This was the most watched NBA Finals for the network since it started airing it in 2003.
It was also the most watched Finals since 1998 when Michael Jordan's Bulls defeated the Utah Jazz.
With attention surrounding James' attempt to end Cleveland's championship drought and the Warriors coming off a historic 73 win season, this year's number could easily top last year's.
[Our Forum] never bit. That's a testament.
Jacks and timbers Dale?
Cavs can't beat the Warriors' bench.
Great call, lolOutside of Curry/Klay, GSW has a bunch of SHAKY 3 point shooters who can't hold a candle to JR Smith when he gets rolling.
Livingston killin' 'em w/ 15 footers
Still more reliable players than in CLELivingston killin' 'em w/ 15 footers
tf with the Cavs in the 4th? Eating Chinese food out it's 68-67 Cavs.
Its now 96-77.
Spurs somehow look like a worse matchup for GSW than this Cavs teamLivingston killin' 'em w/ 15 footers
I was talking about 3 point shooting not reliable players
Imagine Porker/Fatty trying to defend LivingstonSpurs somehow look like a worse matchup for GSW than this Cavs team
still Spurs won the game they shutdown Klay/Curry in...we can control the pace better and we have better post-up/inside threats than the Cavs (Diaw/LMA)..it is looking grim for Cleveland unless they get hot because they have better shooters thAn SA..Imagine Porker/Fatty trying to defend Livingston
