Game Thread NBA Finals: Cavs vs Warriors

[Chris Craig]

What a sad excuse for a finals game

 

[Pinwheel1]

Jesus. Maybe I should change my prediction to 4 games GS instead of 6.

Cleveland is a different team at home. The Warriors bench players won't play this well on the road. I predicted Warriors in 7. Nothing has changed IMO.

 

[riverman]

They've decided to tank...the NBA wants 7 games...one down (insert green font)

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Blazers > Cavs

Kyrie is so massively overrated.
.

Seriously, what is Kyrie great at? He seems to be extremely mediocre.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Your linking to twitter game is on point lately.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

The new Magnificent Seven is PG-13?

Oh fuck off. Jesus Hollywood, grow a pair.

I definitely agree with you but it's all about money. PG-13 movies get higher budgets because they make more money.

 

[Chris Craig]

More like children of the corn

Warriors in 6 at most. Cleveland is too slow even with their small ball squad. And where was this Channing Frye they kept talking about?

 

[Dubsfan]

Coach Lue: "Okay LeBron, this ain't working. So now what?"

I picked the Warriors and I am pulling for them, but I wouldn't get too cocky. They shut down your top two scorers.......in Oakland.
That needs to change or you won't repeat. You can't depend on your bench to carry you on the road. Cleveland is much better at home, and the Warriors are much worse on the road.

Kyrie was probably overrated before LeBron, being fantastic on O but atrocious on D, but he's underrated now that he doesn't run the offense as much. He was the Cav's most consistent weapon in Game 1 and vastly outplayed the MVP at his position. I don't see how that merits "massively overrated" comments. I still think he's one of the best offensive players in the league, but damn is he ever fragile.

 

[riverman]

The Cavs left 4 lane freeway roads to the hoop...no help defense from Thomas or Love at all in the paint. It was like layup drills all night. They couldn't buy a rebound all night either..Kyrie was pretty bad in this game forcing bad shots from everywhere.

 

[Rhal]

That was a great game played by the warriors, especially the bench. I don't expect the Cavs to look this confused and lost on both sides of the court again and I don't expect the CAvs to have such success against Curry and Thompson again. Time and time again the Cavs attacked the paint and had a lot of trouble, having to make really contested shots or some god awful passes in the air. There will be a game this Finals where Lebron goes off and is unstoppable same thing for Curry, what i'm really interested in is if the Cavs can eventually find a way to carve into GS lead, or push their own, when Kerr goes to his bench for long stretchs in the second and in the 3rd. If the Cavs let the GS bench to play like this then it'll be a short series.

Yawn. Same boring old teams once again. Who cares.

Huh? I believe the Warriors had the best road record ever this season.

 

[KingSpeed]

Kyrie Irving is just not a PG. And let us never forget that the Cavs START JR Smith. Wasn't he cut by the Knicks?

He was traded.

 

[KingSpeed]

Oh fuck off. Jesus Hollywood, grow a pair.

What are you upset about? I don't pay much attention to movie ratings.

 

[Pinwheel1]

True but they still play better at home. Everyone does. The Warriors got blown out twice in OKC. They lost in Portland and in Houston. I am just saying they are more vulnerable on the road then they are at home. Plus the Cavs have yet to lose at home in the playoffs. (Granted their competition has not been the toughest)

Bottom line is just because the Warriors ended up with an easy win last night, the Dub fans can't assume it will be a short series.

 

[MarAzul]

James is starting to resemble Shaq in style of play and ballet like moves.

 

[Dubsfan]

Hypothetically, if the DUBS go up 3-0, how do you call in the "Cavalry" when they are already playing?

 

[stampedehero]

I pick GS in 4. The city of Cleveland is cursed.

Five here.

Steve Kerr gets pissed when his team "loses focus":

7 here.

 

[KingSpeed]

Anyone watching the game tonight?

 

[PDXFonz]

Lebron doesn't even try to block that? Maybe he is getting old...

 

[KingSpeed]

Where is errybody?

 

[BBert]

GS getting away with murder, as usual. Why bother?

 

[PDXFonz]

I feel bad for the record number of people who are tuning into this and thinking it is good basketball
