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.

      2026 Charlotte FC Thread

      Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.

      No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.

      Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
