Cavs-Warriors

Post #1 » by **theBigLip** » Sat May 27, 2017 4:40 pm

Ok, now that the preliminaries are out of the way, we get the Finals of the ages. This should be a classic. Predictions?

Classic? I don't see it. Warriors want to kill them. Warriors in 4. If they keep this team together that sucks. Steph, klay, draymond, and kd are all kinda young. They could get rid of kd or klay and still be very good. It'll be interesting to see if they will stay together and make a dynasty

Edit: I might be under appreciating Lebrons greatness, but I just think the Warriors are that good and want to kick the **** out if them. Of course maybe lebron will go out of his way again and disrespect draymond in game 1 and step over him and draymond will swing at him pushing him away and get suspended

cavs will win in six games. I support gsw though.

GSW in six. The Cavs are a great team, no doubt. But they rolled through JV competition in the East while the Warriors swept legit teams in the West.

I went Warriors in 5. It would be awesome for a sweep and the Warriors would be undefeated for the entire playoffs.

I'm a believer that Lebron is the best of all time. I know it's weird coming from a die hard piston fan (trust me I remember those 3 boobie gibson 3's and the 25 pt quarter, I won't forget) but you gotta give credit where it's due. All around game Lebron is the best. When it comes down to it, I stay to my philosophy that there's only one ball out there and one of Curry Klay or KD has to take the last shots in the last 5 mins of the game. No amount of statistics will prove Warriors have a better shot at winning in the last 5 mins when you've got Lebron on the court who will continue to keep the ball and make the right decisions. As far as I know it was Kyrie who made the dagger in the end not Curry. Curry will continue to shoot and ruin every little kid's fundamentals. It's really hard to predict because ultimately it's all about who makes more shots in the end and if it's close, I'm giving it to the Cavaliers. Lebron is that good! Only way Warriors win is if they have a 4+ pt lead. Otherwise...

Cavaliers in 7

Not sure what you mean when Leonard was injured on the Spurs and I wouldn't consider Utah or Portland to be more legit than Boston as contenders.

Tough to say when one is the first seed and the other is the fifth. Could be the difference of East and West. You also have to consider matchups. Ultimately in my opinion the Cavs would win 4-0 against Utah so what difference does it actually make? I'm not sure and I don't like to play what if. All I'm saying is Boston isn't a joke. They're the first seed above the Cavs. That's legit whether you care to admit or not. Record is a record. It's like saying Warriors were nothing last season when they had the best record of all time. Makes no sense but they still lost 3 in a row in the end right? Cavs in 7 baby!

Don't care if you're sure or not sure what I mean. Opinions are opinions.

Warriors in 5. Cavs take Game 3.

I'm in the camp that not only believes that Lebron isnt the GOAT but believes as good as he is on the floor he's bringing a knife to a gunfight

I'm going for Cleveland. I don't think it'll happen, but I really want durant to lose more than anything.

Boston was 2-0 vs Utah this season.

I'm going for Golden State. I think it'll happen, and I really want LeBron to lose more than anything.

I didn't think it was possible to out do Lebron doucheyness, but durant pulled it off.
Both are hateable

I think the Warriors are going to cruise. We can debate how hard the Cavs were trying against the Pacers, but Indy carved their defense up and the Celtics without IT and Raptors without Lowry missed wide open shots all series (except in game 3 for Boston). Last year the Cavs won a series that went down to the last minute of game 7 that included Draymond being suspended, Bogut getting hurt and Harrison Barnes missing WIDE open shots. Durant is in Barnes spot now, Draymond isn't going to get an "accumulation" suspension and unless the Cavs defense has been playing possum the last 50 games I just think Golden State is way too much for them.

I'm going with W's in 6 only because of the 2-3-2 format and winning 2 out of 3 in Cleveland will be tough. I think they take game 4.

I wouldn't be shocked at Ws in 5 or even Cavs in 7 though. Should be a good series in terms of the competitiveness of the games regardless of how many games it goes.

That said, sucks how predictable this season has been with the super teams.

Utah matches up better with Cleveland than Boston, Boston had no resistance in the paint Love and Thompson wrecked them down there. Utah has a legit front line.

You are joking right?

Just like the year they won they faced subpar teams without a key starter

Portland - not some juggernaut -- missing Nurkic (starting C) who played well for them towards the end of the season

Utah - again not some great team -- missing their starting PG and Gobert was playing injured

San Antonio - missing their All-Star player and MVP candidate. Were up 20-25 pts in game 1 before Kawhi went down

JV teams? please

Golden State got lucky just like they did the year they won when they faced each team with a key injury including the Cavs who nearly stole Game 1 without Love and Irving, their two of three top players. Even with those guys down, LeBron **** out two victories with JR Smith and Delladova as his best players.

I am hoping and praying that the Cavs win this series. Warriors do NOT deserve to win.

Keep in mind if KD beat the Warriors when they were up 3-1 in the WCF and went to the Finals, there is no way he would have been able to leave a team that lost in the Finals with one of the best PG in the game in Westbrook

But someway, somehow, KD played like trash the last 3 games (i think he purposely lost because he knew he sucks cokc against LeBron and A. wanted to leave and B. did not want to cry on his mom's shoulder like the last time he went to the Finals)

Couple that with the dirtiest and cockiest asshoole in the game in Draymond (claimed his team played much better teams than the Cavs despite playing injured squads and had the guts to call Kelly Olynk dirty when he was nut shotting all playoffs long and when his own teammate took out the Spurs best player)

Said it before and Ill say it again, FARX the Golden State Warriors. Add an MVP candidate to a 73 win team, i hope they lose just to solidify what kind of a joke they are.

Not saying they will lose, but i sure damn hope so
