Hahaha, Lebron is a god tier troll

 

[Sanjuro]

We need hired goons at this point.

 

[eBay Huckster]

It's not a double digit lead yet? Cavs slacking.

if they'd stop turning the damn ball over...

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

When love is making shots the Cavs are up there with the warriors. He'll disappear in he finals though.

So will Klay and Steph and quite possibly Kyrie this time around.

Lebron vs KD will be the last men standing.

You think STEPH will disappear? fucking lmao

 

[beat]

Basically if they defend any team that can hit open shots yeah they'll be fucked. The Celts have gotten good looks, they just can't hit shit.

Well then Klay picked a pretty bad postseason to go cold as ice! =(

Draymond's kinda good too.

 

[wordballoons]

K-love baby, God damn

 

[BlackGhost]

Love 😍

 

[metalslimer]

Lol Love is too excited.

Oh, and also: Curry is +200 in the postseason, the best cumulative plus-minus of anybody in the playoffs so far, with Draymond Green second at +168. Last playoffs, while battling through multiple health issues, Curry was +48 in 24 playoff games, while Green led the Warriors at +140 in the postseason. (LeBron James led all players at +209 in 21 games last season.)

 

[spyder_ur]

Love didn't catch Antoine's record! That's a win for the Cs!

 

[sooperkool]

I think the lack of need to have defensive intensity will hurt the Cavs in the Finals. GSW can shoot and defend, Cavs haven't even been challenged yet.

 

[Tom Penny]

When you can double TT and leave Love open for wide open threes you have to do it.

 

[Chase17]

Holding in there better than game 2. Feels good.

 

[Tall4Life]

I know the Cavs are playing worse right now, but we honestly aren't doing THAT bad without IT so far considering what happened in the first two games. Would it be too much of a hot take to say that IT messes with our system a little bit? We'd get so many turnovers or wasted opportunities because he'd force shots or try to be a hero, but right now they're kind of all playing together and working with the intended system. We miss open shots and all but that's why we're behind the Cavs. But we aren't doing horribly.

 

[LockOfTheWeek]

They're taking the piss here with willingly giving it to Shump to iso 2 possessions in a row.

 

[metalslimer]

Wow at that pass from Lebron

I think it's natural for the team to come together and play a little differently (and sometimes better) when missing a dominant ball handler. But no - they're not better.

I do think playing without him against this level competition is good for some of the younger guys.

I'm so impressed with Jaylen.

Think Shumpert knows he's mic'd up tonight?

 

[MetalFearSolid]

These Cavs...

 

[Sanjuro]

This is a D-League skrim, right?

 

[Duxxy3]

67% from 3. That's the lead so far.

 

[FTF]

If the Cavs shoot this well in the finals it's going to be very interesting.

 

[Tom Penny]

Celtics could get the same 3 looks as the Cavs and shoot hot garbage and did in game 1... That is the difference between talent and average ass players

 

[FTF]

Holy shit what was that pass? lol

 

[Slater]

I legit believe the Cav's are a better 3 point shooting team then the Warriors, literally everyone besides TT can make them

 

[eBay Huckster]

i mean, how do we know TT can't make them? does he try?

There saving that secret weapon for the final's

this is just crazy talk

 

[K.Jack]

Yo the DJ guy just played Liquid Swords.

My dude.

 

[Duxxy3]

IT is so gone.

 

[Gigglepoo]

I hope the Celtics decide to not sign Bradley and he goes to Indy. He's the one Celtic I'd want.

 

[eBay Huckster]

glad to see Boston at least trying to keep it close this time

The statistics disagree but since when has that mattered.

 

[Dizzan]

The statistics disagree but since when has that mattered.

I'd love to see the stats on the season.

Warriors v Cavs 3 point %.

I think Dubs would come out on top but not by a huge margin?

 

[Slater]

Not last year, but your harping on it was legendary

 

[Tall4Life]

We're actually keeping up with Cleveland at the pace that I expected from them, not the huge 30 point deficits from the previous two games

 

[eBay Huckster]

Cavs were actually ahead by 0.1% in the regular season, surprisingly.

Shooting 4.1% better in the playoffs.

 

[cubicle47b]

It looks like Lebron has decided he's not going to drive for the rest of this series.

 

[jman2050]

I'd love to see the stats on the season.

Warriors v Cavs 3 point %.

I think Dubs would come out on top but not by a huge margin?

Cavs 38.4% on 33.9 APG
Warriors 38.3% on 31.3 APG

So Cavs on aggregate were better, but not by much. Oddly enough, the best three point percentage this season was by the Spurs, though on far fewer attempts.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Better get those nimbus 2000 out.

Oh so Bam Bam is talking outta his ass cause he's a hater??? Well at least he's consistent

 

[Sanjuro]

I feel like Marcus is auditioning for the Cavs.

 

[jman2050]

The craziest thing is Houston taking 40.3 threes per game. For reference, the Cavs number I posted was second place on that list.

Moreyball is real.

 

[metalslimer]

Oh my god a love outlet passed worked

This game fell apart fast.

 

[Tall4Life]

Haha the Cleve is getting worked so hard by Kelly "Better than Jordan" Olynyk

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

That Lebron cherry pick.

 

[eBay Huckster]

lmao that fucking JR shot

 

[Elfstruck]

60% 3pts. Wtf?

 

[thestopsign]

Well... wasn't as painful to watch as the last game, but the 3 pointers are getting pretty ridiculous.

 

[Slater]

KLove's consistent ability to bend the Celtics over a table is how you know some form of justice exists in this cruel uncaring world
