Fact is Lebron gave it his best while the Warriors played meh and the Cavs still lost.

Lebron isn't getting another 44 pt game and the Warriors aren't going to flounder like that again. It's going to be a one sided match the rest of the series. Cleveland would be lucky to avoid being swept.

 

That would be great Bron Bron swept two years in a row. Even tho i have tremendous respect for him, He is hands down the best player in the NBA/In the world. But at the end of OT with less than 10 seconds left and he goes in for the totally unblocked layup to change the game from 98-108 to 100-108, give him self 44 points, make it seem like they didn't score ONE point in OT, pisses me off.
Whats the need dude you put up 42. You lost. Go home.
IMO i think that Exeli should be starting.
I am glad he is young and will be around for a while. He is SO much more athletic that Bogut. Bogut started the game great but then just looked like a loser after the first 1/4. The cavs made him look useless. Ezeli comes in an trys so hard and is so much faster.
Iggy and Speights has awesome games. Speights is so dangerous when he is hitting that 12-18 foot jump show. He turns fades and *swoosh*. Its a thing of beauty. If I was Kerr i would not have taken him out when he did. He was 3-4 with 6 points in 4 minutes.
Our second team so top notch and could make the eastern playoffs with no problem is I think is the strongest trait of the team. When our first team (esp Curry Thompson when not on fire) they keep us in the game and the past few games got us back in the game.
With Irving out the series is over. With out his 23 points they wouldn't have even been close to pulling off the win. Which also kinda pisses me off because i think that the warriors would be able to win with him playing, which would make for a much better series.
Go Warriors!
The future 2014-15 Champions!

 

Michael had Pippen all 6 years. He also had a cast of others for 3 of the year somewhere in the 6.

Michael Jordan Teammates in the Championship Years

 

Don't get your point?

 

Mo was out for a few weeks with a calf sprain. Didn't need to risk reinjuring him before he gets reconditioned to playing more minutes.

You just saw what could happen when you come back from an injury and play too many minutes.

Lebron and company may have steam rolled Chicago and Atlanta w/o Kyrie, but they're not playing any Eastern Conference scrubs. The Warriors have been the best team all season long. The fact that they've remained almost perfectly healthy just makes them that much more dominant.

Here's to a sweep!
Here's to bringing a championship back to Oakland before there disappear back to SF.

 

Even though everything seems to be lining up to a championship, I still wouldn't underestimate the Cavs. Warriors have a history of slacking off in the first half, or not focusing when they think they have an easy win.

 

They also have a history of finding a way to win in the end despite sloppy play. JR Smith needs to have a monster game like he did against ATL if the Cavs expect to make it respectable He's not that consistent though and while the Cavs aren't exactly going to be that easy to beat, the series is pretty much sewn up.

 

They need to have a convincing win in game 2. Can't underestimate a team that has seem to have everything against them.

Now without Irving, wonder if they will play the same defense on James. Bogut also has to play better, can't recall a playoff game where he looked like he was out played like game 1.

 

Lebron is gonna get his no matter what. Warriors need to get better on the glass and get back in transition. Keep the Cavs from getting those offensive rebounds and I think they can keep momentum on their side.

 

My point of my previous post is Lebron isn't going to win an NBA finals himself. Michael Jordan didn't either, he had Pippen. Lebron has no Love, no Irving. Cavs have 0 chance of winning this championship with those injuries.

Lebron wouldn't have won championships without Wade/Bosh either. Warriors would have to lose rather than Cavs needing to win.

 

1) Ugly game again.
2) Klay shows up
3) Curry really had one of his most horrible games.
4) I'm in amazement that they were even in the game toward the end.
5) Lebron did get raked on that one shot by Iggy.
6) Lebron showing why he's the best in the game, carrying his team again with a big triple double.
7) Curry didn't want the ball at the end, shows his confidence for the whole game.
8) Cleveland's defense is showing up, haven't allowed 100 in regulation for both games, and to me the key is 100pts before regulation.

On the more positive side, Warriors have been tested with good defense against the Grizzlies, but Lebron being Lebron will have big games when he works for them. I still see the Warriors not shooting as terribly and winning in 5 or 6.

 

Moral of the story: don't underestimate your opponent until it's over.

Lots of sloppy plays once again, too many turnovers. Playing from behind to catch up. This is the finals, can't do that crap. And that Mo Speights missed dunk was beyond embarrassing. He was already gassed by the time he reached the 3 point line...should've just went for a layup.

Still can't box out Tristan Thompson.

Nobody on the Warriors could shoot besides Klay. And even then, he was forcing and rushing some shots where nobody could get the rebound.

Curry's 3 point shot wasn't going in. Should've switched it up and drove to the basket more. He had quite a few open looks driving to the rim.

Disappointing game. Next game's gonna get tougher. Can't keep playing from behind every game.

 

I don't think the Cavs D should get that much credit. Curry, Barnes, Green all got open looks and couldn't find the basket.

On the other hand, the Warriors were pretty good on D and clamped down near the end (even got away with a few fouls), but anyone who wasn't named Klay couldn't buy a basket tonight.

Haven't seen one of these sort of games since the regular season. And I don't ever recall seeing Curry miss that many shots.

They fumbled the game away and saw a miserable performance from Steph, yet still had a chance to walk away with a 2-0 lead.

Can't say it hasn't been entertaining. I still say Curry finds his shot and Warriors hold up that trophy at the end of it all.

 

This loss... this loss will loose them the championship if they don't learn form it.

27 3 pointers. Stupid.

 

maybe he missed those shots because they were contested? maybe he was being crowded by the Defense and it was a more physical affair than he's used to?
that Bellabedova kid isnt backing down and not bought in to the Curry Hype.
MVP's don't have bad games in the Finals.
especially at home.
you can really tell who the NBA is favoring now that all the Bandwagoners are buying #30 jerseys.
Lebron was Hacked many many times late in the 4th while Bellabedova was fouled on a pull up and ran over by speights after he missed that dunk cuz of Fatness, no calls.
I dont like either team, but obvious things can't be over looked. the ref looked straight at igoudala hack james and was like derp, Adam silver told me not to call it, gotta help dem warriors win, more ratings more monies more jersey sales.
such a joke
