NBA Finals Thread - Warriors/Cavs

Let's get this thing started - I can't wait for this series!  A healthy Cavaliers team with the wanted rematch against the defending champs Golden State.  IMO, the Warriors looked vulnerable against the long, athletic Thunder who brought the defensive intensity to another level.  On the other hand, the Cavs have rolled through the playoffs except for two missteps in Toronto.

Who you got in this series?  How will the Cavs match up defensively against the splash brothers?  Will we see less of Bogut this time around?  Personally, I feel he is a huge liability for GSW whenever he is on the court, but things don't improve much when Festus checks in.  I hate the "hack-a-player" strategy, so hopefully the matchups will allow GS to play the small lineup of Curry, Thompson, Green, Barnes, and Iguodala more often, now that the threat of Adams and Ibaka is behind them.

My prediction: Warriors win the series in 5, losing only game 3 in Cleveland.

We'll see. I think he'll be in the running. Although Iggy had a bigger impact on offense, from what I remember. He was the most consistent play on both sides of the ball from Game 1 onwards. Curry didn't heat up until later in the series.

I think that is a bit of a hyperbolic statement but he's been streaky. The bar is high for him to perform every night and consistently. 

I have this sneak feeling that either him or Klay are going to get hot in the 4th.

Draymond has been the best, for me, so far.

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
