It should be interesting as Lebron is going to give his A+ game because he knows his legacy is on the line. However the Warriors have been on the receiving end of those 3-1 jokes for an entire year and this is their chance to not only make up for that but also get revenge on the team who did it to them. The Warriors, especially Draymond, would love to make this some historic blowout just to put the Cavs into their place.

I think the Warriors play even better basketball than Barcelona did, like as a fan of both sports I enjoy watching the Warriors more and the stuff they do on the court is just unbelievable at times. Barcelona at the top of their games were a force to behold as well though so the analogy is completely valid.

KD looks weird when he flexes
It's tired and played out. It was played out by the Christmas game.
The man left a fine to good situation for a significantly better one and has shown out as a player there.
Yeah. This might be the saltiest run back in history.
They don't play ISO ball? They have a higher assisted FG percentage than the Spurs ffs.
Deron can not run the offense which was abundently clear yesterday as they tried it. Kyrie cannot get the ball to players either. Its like we are watching two different games.

So he wasn't playing good on OKC? He's literally doing the same thing as last year with better teammates, do people think this is a turnaround?

not sure about that at all.
and again, "flawed" because they can't do what no one else could either?
Ok good for him? Im not here for it. Why is this an issue? Grow thicker skin.

Ante Up
I've attended every GSW playoff home game thus far for this reason.
I was there for that special game in December against the Pacers. I remember watching Klay Thompson hit an incredible 3 with a few minutes left in the third quarter to put him at 57 points and the team at 110 with Indiana in the 70s and watching the crowd explode and thinking to myself, "This is it. This is the best basketball you have ever seen and possibly will ever see. Be present, enjoy this." I implore others do the same.
Two sweeps is going to take him out of the MJ conversation.
The league is in a fucked up position too because nobody is trying to take pay cuts to make a contending superteam happen unless they know that ring is guaranteed like KD. CP3 leaving to spurs for what? Possibility go just make it to the WCF? If even that?
At this point I can see some of these guys just getting whatever payday they can and riding off into the sunset.

It's basically iso-ball. Swing the ball to Lebron. size-up for the drive. Swing it to Kyrie for the same... rinse repeat. When the D collapses kick it out for a 3 or dish to a cutter. That's 80% of their offense.
He was never in the conversation.

Those guys should toughen up or quit flopping.

Honestly, they gotta rough these boys up. If JR can't dribble he need to be drop kicking KD
Good for him. He hasn't had a Lebron brand of flop or whined about the refs post game either.

That was basically the story of the game lastnight. The refs held back so many calls against the Cavs to keep it close lastnight.

That's is ridiculous! And they still lost lol. Makes this sweep all the better.
they're both technically fouls but iggy was selling them as well
the first one should have been called as it was a really blatant shove in the back, the second one is a let em play no call for me. lebron is gonna get away with that slight chicken wing every time.

And Steph double dribbles and carries all the time. Lebron is constantly taking hits. Refs didn't cause the Cavs to lose.

east coasters who hate west coast teams.
The refs let that game get way too physical from the get go. No way any player should be getting away with those kinds of non basketball plays.
If you claim they were both fouls yet neither were called, why are you blaming iggy for trying to sell them? If anything, the lesson he would have learned from those plays is he should sell them even more to try and get a proper call.

They're arrogant trolls. I honestly expect them to pull some shit for the Cavs come Halloween time if the sweep happens.
I wasn't blaming iggy necessarily just saying he was selling them. a foul can still be a foul even if the other player sells it and honestly in today's league you almost have to sell some fouls to get the refs to take notice.
NBA isn't some antiseptic ballet with a basketball. No egregious flopping from the superstars, tough hard fought game. Without having rewatched it, it looked inconsistent, but not unfair on the part of the refs.

Any one who watched it lastnight can obviously see how one-sided the officiating was lastnight. The refs gave the Cavs every chance possible to walk away with a win and they blew it. Calls went both ways but the majority of them heavily favoured the Cavs. There was no level of balance the way it was officiated lastnight.

JR smacked Curry on his chest in front of the refs before Iggy had a put back
Was hilarious to see when they kept showing the replay.
I saw ticket prices hit $90 for like a few minutes immediately after the game was over.
If I could get tickets for $50 I'd go , buy a $300 plane ticket and watch
But if the Warriors lost I'd blame myself D:

I don't think anybody would disagree that WB needs alot more help. But the obvious difference in their triple doubles is that James is more effecient by a country mile. Your passive agressiveness is a sight to see though.
It's the next day and my head hurts. I may actually rewatch the whole game sometime before the next one, I don't think that's too nerdy. Some morning after thought:
- Tristan Thompson is gonna have some sort of post season surgery, right?
- Shumpert makes Javale look like Magic. Dude, how are you this dumb?
- D Wade was eating frozen spaghetti with a Yetti watching last night and he got the chills cause Durant is so cold.
- GSW allowed a million 3 point shots again, a lot of them great looks, and they still won't go down for Cleveland.

Only idiots try to make this comparison anyway. Lebron's legacy is fine, and will be regardless out of the outcome of Friday's game.

Must have been the only one on the planet who could have said Cavs in 5
Anyone put any stock into this? https://theringer.com/2017-nba-fina...iers-los-angeles-lakers-clippers-25e353094845
I wouldn't be surprised at all if this happens.
How do you feel about Curry currently averaging about a 30 point triple double this series...
absolutely. lebron did the one thing he was supposed to do in his NBA career. he can do whatever he wants now.
finals curry has been amazing. a return to form after last season that will probably get the people who shat on his 2015 series to look at it again considering there isn't a trend anymore.
he's only averaging 9 assists though, I think

Are you implying Zaza would also injure them?
Both of them to San Antonio is impossible, one is still really unlikely but more possible

You're joking right? He caught all ball or as close to that as humanly possible.
