Warriors: vs Cavs - 2016 Playoffs - NBA Finals Thread

[rasuo214]

Cavs should simply post LeBron all night long. He can overpower any of GS midgets inside.

It helps when others (mainly JR) are making their shots.

Cavs have the talent to pull this off.

What? A win or two or the series ...

[Kawhitstorm]

Cavs are a completely different team at home, tbh..

Is Kyrie still bad when he's making shots?

"Kevin Love is a better player"

[Kawhitstorm]

I would have traded Irving, tbh, he's not worth the trouble of waiting for him to get hot..he's historically bad on D and they were significantly better when he was off the floor, all season..

I'm not buying into him, just because he had a nice game tonight..

Kyrie was basically shooting 50/50 coming into the series & missed shots that he usually makes. No different than Curry except for the "gravity".

It's JR that's a different animal at home.

Lebron James 2011 Finals:
17.8ppg, 7.2rpg, 6.8apg, 48fg%

Kawhi Leonard 2014 Finals:
17.8ppg, 6.4rpg, 2.0apg, 61.2fg%

Steph Curry so far in the 2016 Finals:
16ppg, 6rpg, 4.3apg, 43fg%

I miss Bill Walton.
"Throw it down, big man, throw it down!"

Brad Nesler and Tom Tolbert are much better than this clown.

Warriors scored on 78% of their possessions against Irving through the first 2 games..their #1 offensive strategy was to relentlessly attack him with whoever he was guarding..

He needs to play perfect ISO ball to negate his defense and lack of playmaking and spot-up ability..

Lue came up with that stupid "switch everything" defense when he didn't have the personnel.

[TampaDude]

That's great. Completely irrelevant that everyone of your predictions is horrible

No, every one of my "predictions" was spot on for the reverse jinx. Works every time.

[TampaDude]

Indeed.

[Kawhitstorm]

They are very ordinary on the road, tbh, no way they win in GS..

So they're the 2005 Pistons?

Wardell is the only MVP on the list. Bron/Kawhi slayed the MVPs in the conference Finals.

[Kawhitstorm]

Lebron has been past his prime since last year, people were blinded by his inefficient triple double numbers in last year's Finals, tbh..he has the most mileage at this point of any player in league history..

He looks like 2008 Duncan vs. the Lakers, 2010 Kobe vs. the Celtics, etc..still one of the best and can dominate inferior teams, but will be limited by great teams..

LeBron has been 2004-06 Miami Shaq status the past two seasons.

[Kawhitstorm]

Crazy that the Warriors are going to win the le with Curry playing at 70%, tbh

Spurs won with 50% MVPorker in 2014

[Spurs9]

Thompson mad at the Mosgov play in the post game

[Kawhitstorm]

Spurs need someone to pump the team up like that during timeouts... Joakim is that dude

Avery Johnson got ex-communicated for similar behavior by Pop who got full of himself after winning the '99 chip.

"It's my team, how dare you try to steal my thunder?!?!?!"

[Kawhitstorm]

Irving, Smith, Wiggings, Lebron, Thompson plus a max player.

Millsap

[LakerHater]

Kinda been a borin Finals

[~O~]

I see the Delusion has amplified.

[LakerHater]

Why no Curry bashing?

They jus admitted to benchin him cuz of poor performance!

That crap doesn't always work. It didn't work for the Warriors in this game when Draymond went off on them during the time out. They actually played worse after the time out. I remember Jax in '12 WCF trying to rally the Spurs during a timeout against the Thunder and it had no effect.

[~O~]

The Warriors need to finish this tonight. Can't allow this to get tied. That means Curry and Thompson need to get that boot out of their asses.

Regardless, it's still win 4 in-a-row, OR, a Game 7 in California.
