NBA Finals Discussion thread

James is dominating.

 

[nbafan88]

There goes my assist and rebound prop.

 

[nbafan88]

Lebron is just this active because what em said.

 

[RetroVK]

If lebron gets that call the entire warriors team would foul out

 

[emkee]

Kerr has been disappointing in the Finals. Zero adjustments so far.

 

[nbafan88]

Coach of the year candidate my ass

 

[RetroVK]

IGGY with authoritAI

 

[emkee]

Shump would be a massive loss for the Cavs. Dude's defense and timely offense has been 2nd to none.

 

[RetroVK]

MASH unit for Cavs

 

[hugh613]

Time for Joe Harris to shine baby...

 

[nbafan88]

Tristan Thompson is awesome

 

[nbafan88]

Curry driving to the bucket. Finally

 

[nbafan88]

Another 4 point play. Jesus

 

[nbafan88]

Such a moron green can be at times

 

[nbafan88]

Man. The Warriors bench guys need to hit these shots. It's the one area the Warriors have the clear advantage. Tough to do it on the road

 

[emkee]

Cavs playing on fading energy.

 

[nbafan88]

Lebron is forcing way too much

 

[emkee]

Will take the 1st. Still confident the better team will prevail.

Game 3, home team 1st quarter mojo.

 

[nbafan88]

Love this Sonic commercial

 

[nbafan88]

I agree Em. Lebron just doesn't look like he'll be able to sustain it the entire game

 

[nbafan88]

Warriors Live +1.5 -115

 

[divol]

Kerr tries to adjust. He tries to bring double team on LeBron, but doing halfway job on that and that's actually worse than not brining it at all.
They also try to get the ball moving on offense and that's good for the Warriors. Most of the baskets they made, came off assists (8 out of 9 baskets) - after only 40 out of 72 baskets coming after assists in the first two games.

 

[nbafan88]

Officiating is a lot better this game. The refs aren't calling ticky tack fouls to send the teams to the line. And lots of offensive calls just like mikado said


james jones with his 3rd foul... All three were silly fouls

 

[divol]

You can't have LeBron starting 2nd quarter. Curry is out, Klay is out - he must get 3 minutes of rest at least.
That's the problem of the Cavs (partially). When Klay and Curry come in, they are fresh, while Bron is already starting to feel the fatigue.

And Shumpert is injured I guess... and badly...

 

[nbafan88]

Lebron really doesn't seem to have much faith in his shooters early on

 

[nbafan88]

Can't believe lbj doesn't get more and 1s

 

[divol]

JR with 7 points, shooting 3 from 3. I wrote about it somewhere, that we can expect 20+ points game from Smith in one of the two home games.

 

[emkee]

Cavs already in the penalty.

 

[emkee]

Man I hate Marc Davis. Him and Malloy are the league's most incompetent officials. Not crooked, just stupid.

 

[nbafan88]

I think you are unaware of Violet Palmer.

 

[nbafan88]

We most likely see Joey Crawford in game 4 right? Have to

 

[emkee]

Iggy playing for the 3 is bad basketball.

 

[cogenman]

need those buckets down low

 

[nbafan88]

If cavs lose by 1 everyone will cry over that shot. Lol

 

[emkee]

That Steph or Riley Curry out there ?

 

[cogenman]

fucking curry man those are contested shots

 

[cogenman]

at work watching the game on abc.com and think there's a big time delay between here and tv

 

[emkee]

Another ugly game. Refs starting to allow the Cavs' bully tactics.

LeBron has traveled on every bucket.

Just need the Dubs to hang within 6 and own the 4th.

 

[nbafan88]

I think this game is a lot better than last.

It's just a clash of styles. Warriors gotta get into transition and the cavs gotta keep it a gritty half court game

 

[cogenman]

Curry can't get outscored by Deli

 

[emkee]

Curry sulking, sad to watch. Whole team including Kerr is panicking.

 

[emkee]

Cavs in the Dubs' head. Can't match the bully.

Gonna hold and see if fatigue hits Cleveland.

 

[nbafan88]

This is exactly why 3 point shooting teams fail. The Warriors bigs just can't compete. And it's really taking a toll

 

[nbafan88]

Even when the Warriors get into transition they are thinking too much and not spacing like they did in the regular season. All because of the cavs bigs

It's gonna come down to whether the cavs can keep up this energy

 

[barmeezee]

GSW -3.5 now

 

[emkee]

If Curry wakes up, Dubs will win. Hate the body language though.

 

[emkee]

GSW -3.5 now

But +3.5 for the game.

Kerr's stock dropping.

 

[barmeezee]

who you got for full game emkee

 

[nbafan88]

Never take a 2h line which is higher than the full game line. Rule of thumb.

 

[nbafan88]

Gotta wonder if that injury vs the rockets was worse than they let us believe
