THE Finals

[Jord20]

115-14 playoffs - sorry for the awful performance - i had no great feels at all. The horrible read on Hawks/Cavs really did me in - lost way to much on that one.

I don't have much of a feel for this series either. Warriors are clearly the better team, and should win, but I am riding Lebron. Again, I don't feel great about it at all, but sure hoping he wills them. Keep in mind, Lebron's teams are typically awful in game 1s of big series.

Cavs +6 and ML
FH +3.5 and ML

small on series. If Cavs lose game 1, I will make a normal wager on Cavs series, as I think they will take game 2.

GL!

Hammered the ML too! Threw down a little extra once I saw that x2...


Thoughts on the series? I don't want to over react to one game, or even 2 for that matter, but it sure seems like if Lebron's will is limitless, Cavs have a real shot. And we haven't even had the JR smith (good) game yet!

Think the Q is gonna be rockin tomorrow night... Can't wait

Thanks for posting

On the flip side will Curry and Green go a combined 7/30 with 10 turnovers like they did in Game 2? Will Lebron have enough in the tank with travel and a short turn around after playing 50 minutes for the 4th quarter? Will Mozgov and Jones combine for 25 points on 8/15 shooting like they did in Game 2? Cleveland should be up 2-0 in the series. GS has been held down by Cleveland's defense and GS missing some wide open shots. It should be a very interesting Game 3.

Nice!!

Some quick musings...
I'm def more with Petey here. Lebron is on a mission. Curry shot like crap, but the Cavs shot 32% too! And, Lebron with all his insane numbers, still hasn't shot particularly well - he's definitely capable. Klay was on fire - I wouldn't want to hinge my hopes on Draymond Green shooting well. I see no reason for Mozgov to regress, as he has been dominating Bogut. Those numbers would be bigger if Blatt wasn't a moron to sit him all 4th quarter. Cavs offense was much better with his offense in the game. Shump, Jones, JR, and Delly are all trash, but none of them have really been hot yet. I say you have 2 games of one of them hitting 4-5 3s and making a difference. I think home cooking will do their shooters well.

The narrative after game 1 was that Lebron put up 44 and they still couldn't even win. The game 2 narrative was that Curry was ice cold, and they barely won. We'll see what game 3 narrative is, but the Cavs have clearly out played them for the majority of the first 2 games. I don't see a huge reason for that to change. The D isn't going anywhere. Lebron isn't going anywhere. I'm not sure the Dubs will all of a sudden catch fire for 3 more games.

All that being said, Warriors should be the better team no question. But Lebron is the best player on the court BY FAR... and that means a lot. Steph MVP is so funny. He's a great shooter and a great player, who is also on the perfect team for his game. Lebron, on the other hand, has pretty much proven that you give him any 4 guys and he makes the finals. It's like when they used to give Mailman or Barkley the MVPS when Jordan was dominating. Great players who had great years, but just clearly not as good as the best.

I'm def on the Cavs for game 3. I can't bet against the will of Lebron right now. His teammates fucking love playing with him, and makes them all so much better.

Also like the fact the Cavs have held the largest leads in both games. Hope that lasts

Cavs +2/.5

I think both teams open up a bit tonight. Cavs shooters will make some 3s, and of course GS will be able to keep up.

Man..I wonder if Cleveland's role players know what's going on in the media waves. Their continually discredited all day everyday on sports talk shows and the world wide leader of sports. Who knows maybe their beginning to believe they really don't have the right to share the floor with the warriors and will begin to play like the turds they really are.

By no means trying to Hijack the thread but by watching the games it seems like all I hear from the announcers is about how great the Cavs are? :shrug:

I listen to a lot of Mike and mike, Colin, and whoever comes after him. If I get to watch the game it's usually through a laptop with the sound off or at a loud bar so I can't really comment on that. But these radio hosts do not share the same praise.

 

[Jord20]

There is a reason I don't listen to or watch ESPN... they are a bunch of blowhard media personalities that don't really know the game and babble endlessly about stupid topics like, "Did the Cavs win the game, or did the Warriors lose the game." LOLOLOL... how fucking boring and pointless. Then you have idiots like Skip Bayless making outlandish comment after outlandish comment to stir up a meaningless black and white debate that isn't black and white. And btw, the only reason I know anything about Bayless is because people retweet him - I blocked him almost as soon as I got on twitter.

My advice would be to give up on ESPN - you will be happier and become more intelligent.

Amen Jord......I watch the live sporting events but not the debate shows, Sports Center, ESPYS(picking Bruce aghhhhhhh Caitlin Jenner as most courageous over Lauryn Hill was outrageous).

I would disagree, lol, but that's why they make 31 flavors.

I only watch the live sporting events. I can't even watch SportsCenter anymore. ESPYs no chance - I haven't listened to 1 second of any talk about Jenner, but yeah, I don't get what's so courageous about changing your sex, but again, I couldn't care less what Disney's PR machine has to say about it.
