Support NeoGAF

[eBay Huckster]

Both sides of fandom are convinced they've already won it.

I'm convinced Cleveland can actually make it a series (and maybe win it if they're very lucky) but picked Golden State in 6, and the worst I've seen from Cavs-GAF has been "Cleveland in 6" with a bunch of hedges.

So basically you don't have anything to refute what i've said. i mean GSW is easy to prove #1 Def ranking, DPoY and a second team selection.

Cavs, everyone and their brother has been talking about what a defensive weak team they are.

GSW scores an average of 110 points a game and their opponents only 99. I mean this game/series on tonight is great but they still have to beat a freaking juggernaut and no one in here can seem to even talk about it other than saying they will win because of Lebron and reasons.

Everyone and their brother has been talking about how defensively weak they were based on regular-season statistics including half a season of Dion Waiters and starting such powerhouse players as a 36 year old Mike Miller.

Meanwhile they have the best net rating in the playoffs (by 2 points) and that's only gotten better with the Shumpert-Dellavedova backcourt starting, and somehow none of that registers until someone else tells you about it - much like how 90% of the bullshit being repeated ad nauseam about Kevin Love this season magically stopped as soon as I posted one piece by Cavs the Blog

Reading through here, that's not what I'm picking up. Purely anecdotal though.

Talk to Mr. Sunny for a while.

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

Yeah, both sides are really annoying.

TT!

One side has better reason to be convinced they've already won. The Warriors are one of the best teams in past 15 years based on stats. The Cavs are merely a good team steamrolling through an extremely weak conference. There is no reason to believe the Warriors won't sweep the Cavs.

There's at least one person here going all in on the Cavs.

Well I mean the Rox did just score 45 points on them in a quarter last night

Lebron reasons is the new Basketball reasons.

 

[sooperkool]

Because it's all over the place. Cavs are in the middle of blowing out the #1 seed in a sweep and no one in here is talking about it. It's just a bunch of "well, golden state will (fill in the blank) . It gets old.

Because the #1 seed is missing their best defender, their all-star 3 point specialist and Horford is hurt. You don't really get props for that.

I can see why you guys have been going back and forth.

Paula Abdul was right.

 

[panthapanda]

No! Don't go to hacking. Go out with diginity!

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

If you guys wanna see a good game the Rangers are playing right now.

It's delusional for anyone to think that a team led by a top 5 player of all time can't grab a game or two in the finals.

Both fanbases have one troll who curiously just started supporting the team sometime in the last month who I'm not including.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Tristan Thompson playing fantastic right now. Come home Tristan. My Raps need you

3-3 in the 6th, seems like your average night.

Hockey ain't a real sport.

Yeah, I'm actually not sure who is a fan of Golden State and who considers their life work to be shitting on Lebron. I think I'll stay off GAF during games in the future.

 

[Baroquemantic]

The Hawks are playing pretty terrible.

 

[MIMIC]

One more quarter, Cavs ^_^

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Cavs will inevitably start the fuckball in the 3rd quarter and let them back into it.

Thank goodness that didn't happen xD

 

[Kacar]

I think if the cavs play really well they can win the finals. But it's gonna be hard.

 

[sooperkool]

I'm not a GSW fan, I do like Curry though. I've been watching basketball for 30+ years so i can recognize greatness.

 

[panthapanda]

The Hawks shock the entire world in free agency and sign the entire San Antonio Spurs roster.

And also trade for Pop

Let's be real here, greatness is greatness because most everyone realizes it without having expertise.

 

[Furyous]

ONE MORE QUARTER UNTIL HISTORY IS MADE!!! One finals victory erases any haters claiming Lebron needed two all-stars to reach the NBA finals. Kyrie injury prone as shit and KLove out for the playoffs. That leaves JR, Shump wit the pump, Mozgov, Delly, the ghosts of Mike Miller and James Jones to help the king.

CavsGAF, how are we celebrating? Run the point night at the Q on Monday is an option. The Hawks can make this a game in the quarter of play so I'll respect them. Any talk of who can win a finals matchup between the Warriors and Cavs is disrespect to both Rockets and Hawks.

Who are the Golden State Warriors fans? I'm not talking about bandwagon fans but real actual fans that rooted for the team before last season.

 

[demosthenes]

I hope Cleveland wins just so it takes them off the "haven't won a championship in <x> years" list so Buffalo can move up on the list and come due quicker.

 

[BlackGhost]

Delly obviously has "the sight"

Lebron was in the finals before with the Cavs playboy. He got swept.

 

[Kacar]

John Jenkins played high School 5 mins from my house.

Thought he had a chance to be better than this.

Well clearly Bam Bam Baklava. He has an avatar and everything.

 

[FTF]

Impressive win and sweep by Cavs...Warriors better not fuck around tomorrow night.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Lebron was in the finals before with the Cavs playboy. He got swept.

He is talking about Lebron James reaching 5 NBA finals in a row.

 

[cubicle47b]

I'm glad Blatt calls a timeout when they start fucking around too much on the court.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Well clearly Bam Bam Baklava. He has an avatar and everything.

Do you know me personally? Otherwise how would you know what teams I root for?

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

@LeBatardShow we swept the team with best record in EAST without Love and basically Kyrie and you think we're underdogs.

amusing to say the least

Warriors in 4

 

[TheLaughingStock]

I'm glad Blatt calls a timeout when they start fucking around too much on the court.

I saw Lebron call it.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

What are the odds of the Cavs resigning him? Do you think if Miami were to make him a good offer, Dan Gilbert will match it just to spite the Heat?

Shump did make this right before the playoffs. So, he does seem real tight with the group and the Cavs obviously like his talents. Of course, if it comes down to pinching dimes if we bring back Love and give TT the huge contract, who knows what might happen.

Gilbert as said he'll go into the tax, but the question is how much?

 

[BlackGhost]

I saw Lebron call it.

:lol

 

[Lionel Richie]

ONE MORE QUARTER UNTIL HISTORY IS MADE!!!

History was already made some time ago, the Eastern Conference this year is fucking atrocious. And this is coming from a Celtics fan who watched his team getting swept and deservedly so.

Don't bring Love back... actually do that, keep him away from the celts.

 

[MIMIC]

No, I don't. I'm just guessing.

Is GS your favorite team?

 

[Redd]

Someone needs to tell the Cavs to slow up some. They got this already.

How long have you been a fan?

Again how funny is it the Knicks didn't get a first rounder for Tyson Chandler, JR Smith and Iman Shumpert in respective deals.

 

[Baroquemantic]

This is ridiculous.

You have to appreciate Mozzy getting mad at no one else playing defense.

 

[MIMIC]

Good Lord @ this clinic @_@

Okay time to empty the bench.
