NBA Finals Thread - Warriors/Cavs


Chaos

Recommended Posts

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.

    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
