2017 NBA Finals: Golden State Warriors vs Cleveland Cavaliers Discussion

[KJ]

My money is on Juan Durante no doubt

 

[twinkie13]

Lol

 

[B.A.R.]

Twinkie!!!!!

 

[Lexington 125]

I think the under is a solid play once again. Have to think the amount of turnovers by Clev is reduced significantly, which lead to a ton of easy buckets game 1. I'll likely go under with smaller plays on Clev + ML, then go 1-2 for a small profit:tiphat:

 

[RetroVK]

Has any player ever ended their career 10 games or more under .500 in conference finals games?

 

[nbafan88]

For the cavs.... the NBA will probably assign tony brothers and/or Scott foster for game 2 lol. Expect Lebron to go 12/18 from the line on Sunday.

Too. Fucking. Predictable.

 

[B.A.R.]

Has any player ever ended their career 10 games or more under .500 in conference finals games?

Which player are you referencing as far as "conference finals"?

 

[B.A.R.]

Without looking, I think Al Horford is 0-8.

 

[RetroVK]

Which player are you referencing as far as "conference finals"?

Well what if lebron gets swept, does he reach it?

 

[RetroVK]

I guess not. looks like his conf finals record is better than i thought

 

[RetroVK]

actually maybe he does get to 10 games under .500 if he loses in a sweep

 

[RetroVK]

2007 4 under
2011 2 under 6 under
2012 3 over 3 under
2013 1 over 2 under
2014 3 under 5 under
2015 2 under 7 under
2016 1 over and 6 under
2017 1 under 7 under 3 to go

 

[RetroVK]

That would be a very ugly statistic for him personally

 

[B.A.R.]

Well what if lebron gets swept, does he reach it?

Nba Finals vs Conference Finals...? Are you combining?

 

[RetroVK]

Nba Finals vs Conference Finals...? Are you combining?

no i think i have it correct

 

[RetroVK]

just finals. i could be wrong

 

[B.A.R.]

Well, quick math and Jerry West was 11 games under in NBA Finals.

 

[RetroVK]

Well, quick match and Jerry West was 11 games under in NBA Finals.

Ugly stat for good ole Jerry

 

[RetroVK]

I figured it would come from a laker during the Russell period.

 

[RetroVK]

Surprised that doesn't get brought up more. Definitely lowers my opinion of West

 

[B.A.R.]

Surprised that doesn't get brought up more. Definitely lowers my opinion of West

Did they have social media in the 1960's?

 

[RetroVK]

Did they have social media in the 1960's?

You mean snail mail and newspapers?

I guess people only tend to attack players while they are playing. They are generally left alone afterwards and glorified, so I guess it doesn't matter that we have social media now because who wants to go after the logo anyway?

 

[RetroVK]

Have to drop West from my top 15


Cannot be top 15 with 10 or more games under .500 in nba finals

 

[KJ]

Crazy what a difference game 1 made in the series price considering all the talking heads made it seem as if it was a must-win for GSW. I actually thought that would be the one game that Cleveland might have a chance to do something to shake up the series a bit with a free-flowing team like GSW coming off the 9 day layoff but that obviously didn't happen. No clue where they go from here. Have fun trying to outscore that team.

 

[B.A.R.]

Haha, love it Shady...

 

[emkee]

Lang on the Warriors -8.5 for 60 Dimes, dude was on the Cavs for Game 1.

 

[cogenman]

They just announced Steve Kerr Will be on the sidelines coaching tonight .

 

[emkee]

Kerr thing could be good or bad. Mikey gives Dray a free reign and let's em play.

Kerr actually tries to coach.

It's no myth why the Dubs are virtually undefeated when someone other than Kerr coaches.

 

[nbafan88]

The action has evened out. Almost 50/50....

 

[Lareux]

They just announced Steve Kerr Will be on the sidelines coaching tonight .

Good to hear that Steve is feeling well enough to be back on the sidelines. He's been through much more than he should have.

 

[Frank Costanza]

Props for the liking, anyone? Have a Heritage free play I need to blow. Thanks.

 

[nbafan88]

I took Lebron o6.5 ftm & 7.5 ftm

 

[Frank Costanza]

I took Lebron o6.5 ftm & 7.5 ftm

Thanks, and tailing.

 

[cogenman]

It's hard to discount Lebron at home with their backs against the wall. But the dubs look like they want to run through the entire playoffs undefeated.

And I believe that Halloween party the Cavs had with the theme being the dubs 3:1 collapse pissed the Warriors off.

 

[KJ]

Now the story's out that Kyrie has a bum knee, figured it was a matter of time...it didn't seem so bad in the EC playoffs even though apparently it's been off since late in the season.

 

[cogenman]

His knee looked fine to me. I think it's just excuses.

 

[UTSUX]

His knee looked fine to me. I think it's just excuses.

Klay just given him fits

 

[RetroVK]

ya his bad knee must have gotten better as the game went along, considering he played pretty well in the 4th.

 

[B.A.R.]

Gotta protect Bron legacy...hence the Kyrie injury thing.

 

[B.A.R.]

With that being said...other than last two against Boston, Uncle Drew has been ordinary in the playoffs overall.

 

[B.A.R.]

Not to mention he is a one trick pony. He is a scorer, that's it. He doesn't contribute much else to the team.

 

[nbafan88]

Odds we see a huge Rachel Lindsay cutout in the crowd in Cleveland?

 

[cogenman]

LOL, they might do it. But honestly, I don't think anything will phase KD right now. He's without a ring and fully focused.

 

[Frank Costanza]

Agree. I think GS approaches each of these last 2 games with a sense of urgency. 16-0 is now there for the taking.

 

[emkee]

A day late but funny nonetheless...

And was a Kyrie dagger 3 away from possibly three-peating.
