That's crazy, they're doing this rope jumping so casually.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Game is within reach and the key for the warriors is pretty much KD.

Curry and to a smaller degree at times klay disappear in moments like these

KD needs to put the cape on and play hero ball a bit. That is honestly one of their best cards

Which is annoying as hell.

 

[GalacticToast]

What would the NBA be like if teams were allowed to add one player (for the remaining post season) to their roster from the team they eliminated? Imagine Khawi on the Warriors.

 

[Celcius]

This is going to be the greatest series comeback in finals history. Even better than last year. Believe.

Spoiler

or at least I hope lol

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Spurs might be the only other team who wouldn't be getting skulled by like 55 after a berserker barrage like that.

 

[friskykillface]

18 point lead after the biggest hit from the Cavs
If they keep hitting their 3's, welp

Momentum if they blow them out by 30

If the Cavs keep shooting 13-21 pace from three through the third they should shut it down and wait for the next game. Some nights you just have to hand it to the other guy and move on.

 

[clevbrowns94]

I'm actually worried that up by 18 may not be enough. Don't know if we can keep up this pace and we always allow teams to come back. Sure beats being down by 18 though.

Cavs are about to get sued for those Nintendo sound effects through arena.

This is the best KD has looked in the playoffs from what I can remember. He's not just a huge improvement over Harrison Barnes, he's a big improvement over his past self.

 

[TTG]

On one hand, I want the Cavs to win because it means more awesome basketball. On the other hand, the avalanche of "3-1 BeCleve" bull shit may be too much to stand.

 

[RedAssedApe]

lol wheelchair dig

 

[Cracklox]

Fun fact: Jeff Van Gundy's Knicks once scored 72 points in an entire playoff game, and won.

Pistons/celts had a game finish with both teams in the 60s in the early 2000s

 

[MetalFearSolid]

No way Cavs lose this game with that lead.


Lebron James can forget any great one comparison if he allows that

And people are like "super teams are ruining the league!"

This, exactly. Don't tell that to the bandwagon fans saying this on the refs though. Game is within reach of course but it's almost like an affront to some fans that the Cavs could take a game.

Doesn't seem like it'd be too difficult when you join a record setting 73-9 team.

 

[ForsakenLotus]

I'm not a basketball expert, but if a team feels like the other team is getting a lot of questionable calls, it seems normal to reduce the amount of contact and, in effect, defensive intensity. If the other teams is also making a lot of tough shots and even fuckball shots, that has to be deflating.

I don't know if Cleveland can keep up the intensity, but if they can I don't see the Warriors being able to play their typical lockdown defense because they will be worried about calls.

And this isn't even about whether the foul calls have been reasonable (I don't think they have) but rather how the Warriors perceive them.

im not a fan of either team

Right. He has so much freedom and can't really command double teams. Anyone of his talent level would eat on a team like this.

 

[blame space]

I think they license them.

Cleveland is not losing this, so I guess monday it's a choice between the game and Sony's conference. Fuck life sometimes man, couldn't the game be Sunday or Tuesday?

The KD difference wasn't super obvious for large stretches of the regular season. It has been incredibly glaring in the Finals. Replace him with Barnes and the Cavs are probably on their way to a 3-1 lead right now.

I feel like the same thing happened last year. Lol

 

[Jarmel]

Is it even a problem with the Warrior's D or just Cleveland playing out of their minds?

 

[Fluffhead14]

Don't remember quoting you.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Draymond this game better be a blur

 

[Gorillaz]

I listened to this whole talk on espn earlier

shit was worth it look it up on youtube I think it was called the shop on espn youtube page

 

[alr1ght]

What would the NBA be like if teams were allowed to add one player (for the remaining post season) to their roster from the team they eliminated? Imagine Khawi on the Warriors.

They basically did that with KD

 

[Dougieflesh]

Lol Cavs are only a +3 in FT's made.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Out of their minds

 

[linkboy]

Is it even a problem with the Warrior's D or just Cleveland playing out of their minds?

Cleveland's playing out of their mind and the Warriors are a bit apprehensive due to the fouls that were called in the first quarter.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I feel like the same thing happened last year. Lol

Last year game 7 was on the same time as the game of thrones finale.

 

[BMO = GOAT]

Is it even a problem with the Warrior's D or just Cleveland playing out of their minds?

75% Cleveland playing out there minds. 25% on Warriors D, some stupid fouls they have committed

 

[GalacticToast]

Warriors have been trash all season, obviously.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Both. Kyrie just cannot miss at the moment.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Cavs with Kelly Olynik would be unstoppable.

 

[VeeP]

All bout dem hot takes

Dem OT takes. I wasn't ready.

Thisisneogaf.gif

I've got more hot takes...

Lebron has surpassed Jordan. KD has surpassed LBJ. KD > Jordan.
