Warriors: vs Cavs - 2016 Playoffs - NBA Finals Thread

[Spurs 4 The Win]

You didn't even have the balls to post a prediction in this thread...

Okay dude, Ill put my post in here that I made in the Thunder vs Warriors thread, Im not trying to hide anything.

So the warriors will be in control for 95% of the game with a comfortable lead and it will tighten late? Lol

Cleveland is gonna get their ass whipped in this series. They might even get swept.

At this point, rooting for Lebron is just setting yourself up for more disappointment, its gonna be the Warriors in 4 or 5. They were a no contest matchup in the regular season, winning by like 30 each time. Just accept it and hope someone can step up to the plate next year, and with Durant leaving, that means its gonna be up to the Spurs to stop them.

touche, I did think the Warriors would win but made my post to be contrarian. I still expected a better showing by the Cavs and maybe they will show up in Cleveland.

Cleveland shouldve been able to win at least a couple games, its pretty sad.

The real finals was against OKC. Durant should stay put.

Didn't bother watching the NBA finals game 1 and don't plan to watch it, this will be a sweep or Warriors in 5. I would have watched Thunder/Cavs though. Don't care who wins this, so will just check the Final box score.

Me too.I wonder if OKC vs GSW got more hype/tv ratings. That series had a few thriller games.

I didn't think Cavs had a chance to begin with against GSW and I find series this lopsided and predictable boring unless I was watching my own team and even blowouts from my team are only interesting for me bc I like watching my team's younger roleplayers develop.

Good for GSW, not hating on them since I don't care for either team but it's a really boring product as far as entertainment.

Here is the deal, if they had Blatt, I couldve gotten on board with all of you guys. Here is the problem, they have Tyron ing Lue as their coach Also Lebron is the opposite of clutch when it comes to the Finals

Yall shouldve known better

Look at these ing dumbasses on our forums, jesus these people are dumb

> on other's pre-series takes(I didn't even have the Warriors losing and the Cavs haven't been swept yet anyway)
>Manage to put out a much worse take within an hour

incredible

Once again who's going to stop the Warriors next season?

They have a dynasty going looming forward into the distance. Klay Thompson is 25 and has two years until his prime. Look at the accomplishments of Klay thus far before his prime. Chilling. Green is 25...look at his accomplishments as being an all around Elite player at his size filling that stat sheet. 5 more seasons till they become 30.

Stephen Curry is still 27...in his prime. He still has years of basketball in him and if he goes the Nash route, even more. He doesn't need to get to the rim and wear his body to score. His accomplishments, the best three point shooter in NBA history and the best overall scorer on every distance on court.

Harrison Barnes isn't even close to becoming whole and has a le on under his belt at 23. 7 more seasons till he becomes 30. He's still raw.

Their youth is scary for the NBA going forward. How are they going be stopped. Opposing teams can't build a team from scratch one year with the right peaces and expect to beat the warriors. That takes years.


Lebron, to his fans delusion and denial, is aging and isn't getting any younger. He's 31. As he ages, The Warriors core moves ever closer to their prime.

Durant, Lillard and Westbrook, have the only teams capable of challenging the warriors..but still don't have the cohesion and experience to perform like the Warriors do.

Spurs core is all but finished physically. The new generation must live up to the veterans now.

Provided GS can keep the team together (one big IF), and provided they stay healthy (another big IF), I don't see anyone taking 4 of 7 from them in the playoffs for years to come. This team could easily win 5 straight les. No bull . They're that good.

Nah, injuries and mileage will prove too much for #'s 4 and 5...They should 3-peat, though.

Not a lot of people understand this, but this is the first time since 2011 where LeBron deserves blame. He can't shoot for , doesn't have the athleticism to lockdown anyone and the Warriors are just fine facing him 1v1. He also wasn't great in the Finals last year (he was much better in 2014 tbh but spurs4thewin, has the IQ of a cu ber, probably doesn't think so) but the media let him get away with it because he's the good guy again and no longer with the bad guys in Miami

30/11/8.5 for series and 2-1 lead before Cavs shrank.
Tell us what other NBA player would have done better with scrub Cavs lineup?

None. But he still wasn't the same player in those finals as he was from 2012-14. And he got no praise for 2014 despite being efficient as a mother er+playing against a top 3 team of alltime.

Uhh, no.
The 2014 Spurs (after the first round) were amazing but man are they overrated by some on here.

[Spurs9]

I think the Cavs will win tonight.

Tough to say that. I think they are obviously the faves at the start of next year barring another Superfriends pairing ...
But injuries, focus and motivation from other teams to take you out will all be factors. 3peats are so damn tough.

Super who?

Do you remember Thompsons face...after they were down 35 plus..to the Thunder? He looked miserable losing that game. I sincerely doubt that he ever nor the rest of the team ever wants to feel that way again.

Look the the teams who have 3 peats in the modern era ...

1. MJ Bulls pre-baseball
2. MJ Bulls post baseball
3. Shaqobe Lakers

Now look at how the 2peats have crashed and burned in year 3 ...

1. Heatles
2. Kobepau Lakers
3. Clutch city
4. Badboy Pistons
5. Showtime Lakers

That third leg for a 3peat was tough for ALL of those teams
And for the teams that failed to make win the 3rd, almost all flamed out in mighty fashion ...

I have no idea.
Not saying it would happen but LEBron and Durant could find a team to Superfriend with ... Wade is also a FA btw.
