Exclusive Official Around the NBA FINALS - 2015 Edition, Cavs vs Warriors

[KeepOnRollin]

I wouldn't mind being wrong (on both counts) but I think this is still going 7 and that GS wins.

 

[KingSpeed]

I'm 38. 39 in August. So yeah, Curry got "the business" last night.

When is your birthday? I'm 41 on Aug 25th.

The strategy should be to injure delly and shumpert. Would the cavs have to forfeit?

And is Shawn Marion still alive?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

It must be super-weird to be Carmelo Anthony and realizing Shumpert might win a ring before you.

He is Sly's boytoy and you know the smell... Chanel No5, no straight man would wear that!

Umm, I'm Ben. So there's that...

I was trying to remember if there'd been an MVP on a losing team. I was thinking Magic, but that might've been an All-Star game.

I agree the Warriors could turn it around (probably because I can't believe this is possible). I think the seeds are there in playing Iggy and Lee a lot more. Both of them were actually really good, along with Barbosa (that's partly what prompted my comment about the Warriors' bench being better than 4 Cavs starters). I think this is the real test of Kerr as a coach.

If the Warriors win: Curry's team will have beaten the team of every other member of the first team all-NBA (Davis, then Gasol, then Harden, then James).
If the Cavs win: LBJ will be crowned God Emperor of the Universe. And the Spurs will have gone from champions to the team that lost to the team that lost to the team that lost to the team that lost to the champions.

Jerry West is the only one who has ever done it in the NBA and oddly enough its only happened once in the NFL as well when Chuck Howley won it in a Cowboys loss in superbowl 5.

Nobody has a winning record against Jordan in the finals.

Nobody has a winning record against Adam Morrison in the finals! More to the point, Olajuwon was undefeated in the finals, too. And Jordan NEVER won a championship from the 6th seed.

And yes, the Hakeem led rockets would get POUNCED on by those Bulls.

Says you, on the basis of "just cuz Jordan was super-awesome".

 

[Blazer4ever]

The Warriors don't look good, huh?
Few things:
Let Lebron beat you. Let him go for 50, don't get out of his way but try to make him take as many shots as possible. Don't use Draymond on him, he's making too many fouls, use a 3 - either Barnes or Iggy.
Play your game, don't think too much, play loose, do your thing.

 

[Blazer4ever]

If Lebron breaks the team offense, they start losing, Make him go solo, make his head get bigger, that's their weakness.

The Warriors are doing exactly what you're saying.

They've been isolating LeBron over and over the whole series. That is the team offense. He's taking over 30 shots a game. And his team is up 2-1.

That t-shirt reminds me of how exciting it was to get an NBA shirt when the Blazers were in the finals in 1990.

I think have been many players that won MVP and didn't win a title. Rose, Durant are the two I've recently remembered

Finals MVP.

LeBron 2x

Nash 2x
KG
Duncan
AI
Malone 2x
The Admiral
Barkley

List goes on

 

[3RA1N1AC]

I'm not sure if I want lebron to win, or want the dubs to lose, or both, but go cavs!

 

[blue9]

I'd like GSW to lose so that it doesn't bolster the idea that the Blazers are on the right track (but I guess getting to the Finals has already done that). But I also want CLE to lose because it's just one of those franchises that I've always disliked. I also think that since the West is far and away the better conference it's disappointing when a team from the East wins. So I guess I don't really care who wins - which is better than a lot of years where a team I DESPISE wins.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

LeBron passing skill... Lawd

 

[blue9]

Damn, Tristan Thompson is a PF!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Mozgov would look great here

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Horrible call. Draymond is easily making his way into top 3 hate list
