NBA Finals: GSW vs CLE, GSW 3-1

Game 5 on Monday with a potential close out for the Warriors. Interested to see if the Cavs have what it takes to win in Oracle with their season on the line.

Golden State are going to be extra determined to get this done at home unlike last year. I think they will win the next game.

It's over, no need to watch the rest.

This year's nba playoffs sucks as a whole unless you are GSW lovers.

I am not a hater, just saying this as a neutral fan.
Everyone has a right to be stupid. Some just abuse the privilege.

WCF was the Finals. Cavs don't have enough quality depth to throw at the Warriors. Lebron looks gassed. KI and Love are horrible defensively in a lineup together. Cleveland needs to move Love as they looked much better with Jefferson being a more capable defender and savvy vet. Love for depth would do wonders for the Cavs. They would look much scarier, but would management be willing to accept that Love was a failure for them, and be willing to make a depth type of move for Love?

Predicted 5 before the series began so I'm going to stick with it. Cleveland hasn't shown a consistent ability to show up on the road while GS has been great all year. If Cleveland has any shot they need to get off to a fast start because they are a total frontrunner team and I think they become unglued if they even get to a moderate deficit off a GS run.

Hopefully Warriors can close this out in 5. One of my friends works for the Warriors coaching / video staff, so I'm pulling for them hard. On top of that, love Dray (and the team in general).

What was the drama with firing Blatt? Lebron didn't like him? I missed the actual reason cause I think Lue is no where near the coach that Blatt showed us.

If Draymond is suspended, which he definitely should be, I dont think they have a chance to win. They will win it in 6.

I don't think they'll make it back to Cleveland. Lebron has had a nonexistent series, 25 11 8 looks good on paper but then you see it's on a 53.5 ts% which is mediocre, and is averaging 5.8 tov which is awful.

Just watched the post game piece with chuck Steve smith and grant hill. Chuck had said some true stuff, tho he focused on how bad the favs played rather than give credit to dubs. But he said, Kevin love gets too much unwarranted blame, which is true. When the team is rolling it's all cool but soon as they lose, all finger to love. He listed many great players including himself, bird and magic that weren't great defensive players but still have great impact on the game. Then they interviewed green, dude is just reli down to earth. Knows his role and appreciating what steph and klay can create for the rest of the team. Hate him for his on court antics all u want, but dude is probably a legit nice guy in real life

I really hope Cleveland can push this to 6 or 7. For the sake of Lebron's legacy and the fact that nothing will be on until Power comes on for me.

Lol..ur a GSW fan. Of course you think that. But if Lebron hit Draymond in the nuts like Draymond did to Lebron, even if it was a brush or w.e, he clearly aimed for it, and its does use that it was "unintentional" excuse again because hes done it over and over again, you guys would be like "oh why isnt he getting a flagrant or w.e, Draymond got one when he hit Adams"...Either way though, you guys are clearly the better team. Can definitely see you guys winning it for the next 2-4 years no doubt, but I truly do think you guys need Harrison Barnes to win, and hes showing you why this series. Just wait until the Timberwolves rise though! They're gonna be the next dynasty I think.

Cmon he didn't hit him in the nuts at all, lebron climbing over Draymond while he was trying to get up was stupid on Lebron's part. Draymond then reached over for him but he wasn't even close to him.

I wouldn't say we need Harrison. We can get any good shooter at that position to replace him. He's played well this series though

That's why I didn't get the Championship talk for Cleveland for having a rookie HC literally come in months before to complete a tall task against the likes of potential opponents in Greg Popovich, Billy Donovan, Steve Kerr, Doc Rivers ... Blatt is a proven/Veteran head coach... Just because you don't like him doesn't mean he does not give you the best chance to win.

The OKC-GSW matchup was one of the best series of all time in my opinion, otherwise?
Yeah pretty dull playoffs.
