Warriors not trading Thompson for Love, and then the Cavs trading Wiggins for Love, had an enormous effect on the history of the NBA.

Wiggins wouldnt have helped much, he is too young to be much of a factor for Cavs this past two years. They should have traded him for someone a hell of a lot better than Love.

 

[Brinbe]

Clear the Cavs can't hang with GS if they want to run and gun. They'll need to goon it up like next year. Unleash Mozgawd

 

[negitoro7]

Lebron always does this in the finals. Completely loses trust in his teammates, tries to do it all and team loses. I thought he had learnt from last year that he can't do it on his own, but obviously not.

They're trash.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Warriors are good.

 

[perfectchaos007]

G1: GS by 15
G2: GS by 10
G3: CLE by 5
G4: GS by 7
G5: GS by 22

[Sho_Nuff82]

Warriors win by 15, Curry mad. This won't end well.

 

[GravityInsanity]

With that one block from Mosgov I bet he plays more in game 2.

 

[Miracle]

As I said, this Cavs team has no chance. OKC vs GS was the Finals. Cavs are basically the Raptors to the Warriors.

 

[TTG]

Ezeli and Speights twin towers.

Toronto could've drafted LMA, Curry, Kobe, etc etc.

😞😞😞

 

[RellyRell28]

Them game 1 overreaction lol. As much as I hate to bring them up, OKC did get dragged a lot worse than this by SA and we know how that turned out.

 

[SCChappy]

He came into a cleveland roster with 3 #1 draft picks and cap space and was the driving force between trading away two of those picks and cap space for Kevin Love, a defensive liability.

GM Lebron is an idiot. Thanks for Wiggins.

To be fair, he, like a lot of people, didn't expect the Warriors to become an all time great team at the time. I thought the trade was a decent idea but looking back on it now I definitely wouldn't do it again.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

You know I think this Warriors team is really good.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Them game 1 overreaction lol. As much as I hate to bring them up, OKC did get dragged a lot worse than this by SA and we know how that turned out.

Yes it's one game, but a lot of the things people anticipated coming in, namely that Kyrie, Tristian and Love (starters, no less) were going to be huge liabilities against the Warriors were all born true. Not sure how much you can expect that to change over the course of the next 3-4 games.

 

[Cre8]

Curry and Thompson is 8 for 27 and GS still won by 15pts.

 

[Iadien]

As expected, the bench is going to be the difference. Warriors bench is just so much better than the Cavs.

 

[DataStream]

Lowest scoring game of the season for Klay/Curry and they win by 15

Feel pretty good about the Warriors chances this series.

 

[george_us]

Cavs are fucked worse than I thought. Getting blown out is one thing, but getting blown out despite Curry and Thompson barely in double figures is brutal. Might get swept.

 

[Cheebo]

Them game 1 overreaction lol. As much as I hate to bring them up, OKC did get dragged a lot worse than this by SA and we know how that turned out.

except this was in a game where curry and thompson were cold. SA stars were not cold that game.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Would Barbosa gain an inch if he stood up straight?

underrated post

 

[DietRob]

Man, this game ugh.. Not sure if Cavs did a good job defending Clay/Curry or if they just had a bad night. Regardless the best chance for them to steal a game is when those two aren't shooting the lights out.

I wanted to believe this year Lebron would finally fulfill his destiny of bringing a chip to Cleveland.

 

[Fox318]

maybe Kyrie will learn how to play defense on the flight back to Cleveland

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I like to think The Raptors Weakened Cleveland.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Them game 1 overreaction lol. As much as I hate to bring them up, OKC did get dragged a lot worse than this by SA and we know how that turned out.

Cavs fans have been overreacting to last year's game one for a year...

 

[Diprosalic]

Lue is an awful coach
Cleveland is absolutely dreadful
This shit is so over.

maybe next year LeBron.

 

[hbkdx12]

Cuz who needs analytics right guys?

It doesn't matter. The prospect of playing with Lebron James in addition to such a talented young core sells itself. they had trade assets. They had youth. They had upside. They had cap space. And they had talent.

Now they have the 3rd oldest team in the league

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Them game 1 overreaction lol. As much as I hate to bring them up, OKC did get dragged a lot worse than this by SA and we know how that turned out.

You can't teach the hate that Westbrook has in his heart. Even when they were getting worked by Miami in the 2012 finals he was full steam ahead.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Cuz who needs analytics right guys?

I can tell by looking in his eyes that LeBron wasn't tired, tho.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

The best records of all time always win it all. Pretty sure the top five records at least all won the chip. Basketball doesn't really surprise you in that respect. We already know how this ends.

 

[Mory Dunz]

easy.
Curry and Thompson go 0-40 for the next 4 games.

I mean, if we're talking about reading too much into one game...

 

[i3allistic]

Lue is an awful coach
Cleveland is absolutely dreadful
This shit is so over.

maybe next year LeBron.

Lebron leaving Cleveland tho

 

[friskykillface]

Curry and Klay won't play this shitty again
but then again, the bench won't play this good again, step it up Splash Brothers


but huge difference to last year, OT the first game

 

[PR_rambo]

Them game 1 overreaction lol. As much as I hate to bring them up, OKC did get dragged a lot worse than this by SA and we know how that turned out.

Cool, has ZERO to do with These warriors or these Cavs so...yeah.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Won't call this one until game 3, but the Cavs certainly look like a team that has no coach.

 

[SCChappy]

Alright guys, atleast wait until the Game 2 blowout to be saying the series is over.

Let me have a tiny little bit of faith.

 

[Basileus777]

Them game 1 overreaction lol. As much as I hate to bring them up, OKC did get dragged a lot worse than this by SA and we know how that turned out.

This logic doesn't really hold up. That OKC/SA series is hardly typical or a good argument for not reading into a game 1.

 

[Ric Flair]

At least the torture will only last 3 more games.

 

[UnObtainium17]

Wow Cavs fucked up. It doesn't happen often where both Klay and Curry are in PTO.

 

[Cre8]

except this was in a game where curry and thompson were cold. SA stars were not cold that game.

I dont expect the Splash Bros to shoot this poorly for the rest of the series..

 

[Griss]

Prediction time: warriors sweep in five.

Feelin' good about this prediction. Cleveland will get one, but for all intensive porpoises this series is a sweep.

 

[rambis]

Them game 1 overreaction lol. As much as I hate to bring them up, OKC did get dragged a lot worse than this by SA and we know how that turned out.

Hell OKC blew GS a few times like this. This game was mostly close up until that bench explosion. If Steph and Klay are this bad again Cavs might take game 2. Shaun Livingston jumpers are not gonna win the chip for you.

 

[pablito]

I know it was at home, and I'm not the most learned bball guy but if Warriors bench can beat the Cavs then idk.

I'm rooting for the Warriors but even then I don't really wanna see a blowout.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Yes it's one game, but a lot of the things people anticipated coming in, namely that Kyrie, Tristian and Love (starters, no less) were going to be huge liabilities against the Warriors were all born true. Not sure how much you can expect that to change over the course of the next 3-4 games.

Yeah, you guys were right. It was wishful thinking on my part that the Cavs would actually make this a series.

 

[mozfan12]

Love and Kyrie should have the decency to pretend to be injured. It should be a little more even.

 

[AcridMeat]

Still the best part of this game.

Apart from the win.

 

[Lionel Richie]

lol that's awesome.

 

[DietRob]

Lebron leaving Cleveland tho

Nah. He doesn't have it in him to be the villain again. I'll bet good money he retires a Cav.

 

[DoubleTake]

It's gotta be frustrating as fuck for an opponent for the other team's 2 best players to just coast along and yet your still down double digits and then the two of them decide "okay lets make some shots" just to rub it in.

Absolutely disgusting. Cavs are in trouble.

Are you a prophet?
