Game Thread 2017 NBA Championship - Cavs vs Warriors

[Chris Craig]

Technical foul on green...love it

 

[Mediocre Man]

Hoping the Cavs can win tonight to keep the series somewhat interesting and brake the hated Warriors perfect playoff run.

Did you ever watch the NHL playoffs? Was that you who was going to?

 

[Mediocre Man]

This league has become run in to someone and flail.

 

[Mediocre Man]

That may be one of the reasons I enjoy the NHL so much. Last game there were 7 penalties, compared to 37 in the last NBA game.

So soccer?

 

[Mediocre Man]

So soccer?

Kinda....right? Not the almost trip equals leg amputation, but it's hard to watch. Then to hear Silver say it's basketball in it's best form. That's not good.

 

[KingSpeed]

Go Cavs!

 

[Dom McBlazer]

At least this game is close.....(advantage Cavs even though they're down by 1).

 

[PDXFonz]

I'd love for the Dubs to not sweep the playoffs. Would be a good consolation.

I think Kyrie Irving is better than Curry.

He does some stuff sometimes that makes me think he might be the most talented player in the NBA.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I hate the Warriors... they really make me not even want to care about the Blazers for the next few seasons because, what's the point?

I wouldn't say his is the most talented. But, I will say that he is probably the best guard at finishing in the paint. He comes up with really creative ways to score inside that blow my mind every time.

LeBron James is literally like old Ben Kenobi and the Warriors are Darth Vader.. why can't Lillard be Luke?

Irving is a more dynamic player than Curry for sure, but there's something to be said about Curry's consistency.

I feel like Kyrie was meant to play in the early 2000s

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

This is lame AF, Durant is such a bitch... yeah he is really good but man this is a bitch ass move.

Getting to watch us be the ones to cut the head off the beast

 

[trailblazer18]

Welp...

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Poor LeBron, he is playing the best basketball of his life and it's just not enough. Jordan couldn't even beat this Warriors team.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

73-9 last year and Durant joined them after losing to them.

Total bitch move. And history will see it as such.

Nah in twenty years we will hear about the Warriors dynasty as being such a great thing in the NBA because... the NBA is a bunch of horseshit

With everyone playing finesse/3-pt basketball, a team that can over-power and still have bigs that can defend could be the rare threat. A healthy Nurkic, a developing Vonleh and a legit SF might make the Blazers that team. They would be able to score but would force the Warriors to do something they haven't had to and that is play against bulk.

When everyone is doing the same thing, make your own path.

Here's to the Blazer Brute Squad.

Finally a good game. That pullup three was unreal by KD. Down two, less than a minute left and he pulls that.

Still hate the dude, but amazing shot

The upside to Vonleh is he can defend pretty well on the perimeter for a man his size, if only we had LeBron James as our small forward

Man you are asking a lot.

 

[tlongII]

Damn! I thought Cleveland had this one. I was wrong.

 

[illmatic99]

Vonleh has no place in this thread. Its the NBA finals, come on. This dude might not get a second NBA contract

A full year of Nurkic, Vonleh as the Jr Brute, PG13, McBuckets and Dame Dolla' may not beat them but I think it put the biggest scare into them of anyone they have faced.

They really were the better team last year up 3-1 before losing their starting center and Green getting suspended for being an idiot.
