Game Thread NBA Finals: Cavs vs Warriors

[riverman]

The refs will make this stretch out to 7 games...to much money to throw away in the finals if they sweep

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Golden State is Trump, Cleveland is Hillary.

Except that Golden State is going to win.

Plus LeBron is the one with the suspicious "hair".

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Dubs are overrated. They rely way to much on Steph bailing them out.

I think you mean "Iguodala".

With the Cavs having emerged as the only legitimate candidate out of a fractured group of weaklings with no legitimate challenger, while the Warriors survive a hard-fought battle with a vicious bulldog of an opponent, wouldn't the reverse of your statement be more fitting?

That's totally reasonable, but I was looking at it this way:

The Cavs are traditional, and led by a superstar that many people hate irrationally. (count me in among the LeBron haters)
Golden State is non-traditional, prone to kicking people in the balls for no reason (and not getting penalized for it), and then there's that Golden thing.

I think I had some other reasons but I've forgotten.

Golden State is Trump, Cleveland is Hillary.

This is actually true

Damn can you image how good that HS BB team would have been if Mychal had not got that radio gig in LA?

 

[Dom McBlazer]

I could care less who wins, but let me reiterate my position on this series. I'm REALLY hoping for one of these scenarios to happen: A) one team sweeps the other or B) one team loses in 7 after being up 3-0. Doesn't matter which team loses, but the scrutiny EITHER team would face if they were to lose under these conditions would be GLORIOUS.

Delly is getting his own signature sneaker

Aussie cult hero Matthew Dellavedova announced he is leaving Nike on the eve of the NBA Finals to form a new partnership with a Chinese footwear company.
And he’s getting his own signature sneaker.
The Cavs guard has signed with PEAK on a three-year deal and plans to release a low-cut basketball shoe called the Delly 1 in Australia later this year.

A role player like Delly getting a signature shoe? I don't know what to say. Andrew Bogut, and Patty Mills don't have signature shoes.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

How pathetic is it they have those "cards" or whatever they are that say "Authentic Fan."

 

[Rastapopoulos]

A role player like Delly getting a signature shoe? I don't know what to say. Andrew Bogut, and Patty Mills don't have signature shoes.

Probably because they're with Nike. Peak has maybe 2 or 3 NBA players, so they can give EVERYONE a signature shoe.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Sorry guys. My father has been a GS fan his entire life, so I've gotta say GS in 6.

But I don't ultimately care; I don't personally like either team (I hate Green and Bogut), and I'm not fond of Kevin Love (he just seems like a douchebag to me). I'm just looking forward to a good series.

 

[DUB]

Probably because they're with Nike. Peak has maybe 2 or 3 NBA players, so they can give EVERYONE a signature shoe.

Bogut is with Nike, Patty is with Under Armour. I've never even heard of Peak before, but aparently they've been sponsoring the Australian national teams for the last 10 years. Now that I look it up Tony Parker, and Dwight Howard are with Peak. I'm really not a shoe guy.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Does LeBron always flail around like that?

 

[Jade Falcon]

It doesn't look like there's any communication with Cleveland. Each guy is just doing their own shit. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole team has a low Assist numbers this game.

Iggy get's pissed and draymonds like "Stop complaining bout that or I can't be kickin people in the balls no more"

I personally thought the Aussie was reaching in for the ball, but I wouldn't have been surprised if they gave him a technical.

Guess he got more ball than he bargained for.

The new Magnificent Seven is PG-13?

Oh fuck off. Jesus Hollywood, grow a pair.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

This is like when the Blazers were way up on the Bulls in game 6 of the finals and Phil Jackson sent in the scrubs and they went on a huge run and that was that.

I hope Steph Curry really is just about the team, or he's going to feel embarrassed by his performance.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

How many fucking layups have the Cavs missed? POINT BLANK.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

If the Warriors are to win, I guess I'm happiest if they do it with Curry and Thomson in single digits. Livingston as MVP?

 

[Jade Falcon]

How many fucking layups have the Cavs missed? POINT BLANK.

Agreed. And it's kinda hard to score when it's 1 or 2 vs 4 in the paint.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

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?

Yeah, they are a poorly ran franchise. Smith has had some great games this year.

 

[Jade Falcon]

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

 

[Rastapopoulos]

The Cavs would kill to have Gerald Henderson right now.

Thankfully, we have him instead.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Kyrie is so massively overrated.

Mo.

Williams.
