Back again after saying stupid shit I totally regret, heh. Did watch some of the series; my money is mostly on the Cavs because Cleveland deserves a title by now. I had a feeling in my gut that the Warriors would win the series and come from being down 3-1. I was completely right.

Finals coming up! Cant' wait.

I don't watch sports much, but my dad is the biggest GSW fan and has been since he was a kid, so of course I'm rooting for them.

I think it'll take 6 games though.

Even the best shooter bricks the majority of their shots with constant defensive pressure. It's been proven all through the history of basketball. Shooting teams usually choke because of that very reason. Yeah the Warriors aren't normal shooting teams from years past... But I just see things differently from you Warriors fans.

And who is gonna be providing that defense? Irving amd Love?

Not a warriors fan, just know Cleveland is a shit defensive team without the firepower to out shoot GS for 4 games.

I could see that but honestly I think this is the year for them, yes the Warriors can shoot 3s like no other but if the bench can stop Curry somewhat like last year than theres a good chance.

Didn't Curry go scoreless in the first quarter of game 6 against OKC? Say they stop Curry somewhat, what do they do about Klay, Iggy, Barnes, Livingston, Mo?

Go Cavs.

I'll go Cavs in 7.

We are going to have to play super tough and smart. Have to play probably at least 3 of our best games of the season to have a real shot. We basically HAVE to trap the Curry PnRs if he shows absolutely any sign of getting hot and they involve Love, Frye, or Tristan. If we can shoot over 40% from 3 for the series I see no reason as to why we can't be in every game at the end.

I only hate everything about the warriors because they are trying to ruin maybe the best chance any of my professional sports teams will ever have to win a title. But Steph is so incredible to watch that nearly everyone I know is all over them (I don't live in Ohio anymore). My roommates, coworkers, and friends are all bowing down to them. I respect them all except Draymond, he has been a demon and one of my least favorite players ever since his college days.

Kyrie Is already my favorite athlete to ever play in any sport and I hope he can show how good he is, I think his defense can be adequate enough hopefully to play 40+ mins. Love on the other hand.....

I'm fine with LeBron cause he is back on my team but I'm not really back on his side till he can get us a title. But I have always thought he would end up being one of the 5 best players ever. But he needs another title for that.

Just my thoughts. I can honestly say though that beating this warriors team this year in the finals would probably be the greatest day of my life and I'm not even kidding at all.

Go Cavs.

I haven't seen the movie Trainwreck, but I heard it was pretty good. Therefore I will root for the Cavaliers.

Go Cavs. #dellavedova

I want to understand the logic here- James basically singlehandedly took the series 6 games last year. Now with Irving and Love healthy, they'll only win one or two?

Love and Irving are significantly worse than the guys who started in their places last year on defense.

Tristan Thompson was largely awarded a max contract because of his performance in the last few rounds of the playoffs. Love guarding Curry in a pnr scenario is nightmare fuel.

If Lebron gets swept he is gonna have to leave Cleveland.

Come play for the Knicks with Durant, DeRozan and Melo. Thats a championship team right there.

Heart says Cavs.

Heart in 6...
Gotta give Love a chance

Was more clever in my mind.

The revisionist haters are at least consistent on their hate and dismissal of the Cavs. When the playoffs started you were shouting about "how the Cavs were going to lose to the pistons (look at the season record!!), the Heat/Hawks (Same argument), and even the Drake's for the same reason. None of those checks had any funds but you didn't wanted to accept the facts. You continue banging that same drum, fucking that same chicken with the Dubs. Being wholly dismissive of the Cavs (Talking about the ones calling the series in 5 or less games), and you'll be wrong again.


Cavs will win the 1st game and proceed to conquer the finals in 6 games. The King gets the 🏀👑 & 💍. Cleveland gets rewarded at last ⌛ for believing.


The reasons for that, the Warriors defense isn't as good as it has been in the past. Curry has health issues and that team is running on fumes. Draymond will get suspended for his reckless actions for 1 game and the Cavs will capitalize on that.

FMVP: LeBron James.

Why are people predicting GS to win or praise Curty called Warriors bangwsgoners? Can't other teams fans recognize greatness?

I am not a Warriors fan my team is Detroit but I think Curry is incredible. I don't recall this much bangwagonning accusations going on for MJ.

There's nothing more annoying then the posters that take all the bad opinions they have heard or think they have heard and roll them into one giant caricature and then proceed to speak as if that Frankenstein of their own imagination represents all real people that think the Warriors will win.

Your credibility is dead before it was even established.

Yeah, I am a Pistons guy and read a lot of Pistons blogs and forums. Pretty much no Pistons fan was predicting they would win, more just hoping they would make it a fun series.

As for Atlanta who the hell was picking Atlanta over Cavs? No one.

The hypocrite sounds like he is in his own bubble.
