NBA Finals In-Game Thread

Here's the recipe. Bron takes over here, Cavs win their home games, Cavs in 6.

 

[emkee]

At least Curry and Klay have 20 points in the 1st half compared to 20 points in the whole of Game 1.

I'll use halftime as my platform for this. Even when foul trouble exists, college ball, coaches lose more games worrying about it than they do winning games by managing it. Your player fouling out is tomorrow guy's problem, let's deal with the game in front of our face.

BS....at least in college. Pros different story

Houston and Guy Lewis lost a damn NCAA Title by not managing the game correctly and Drwxler picking up his 4th foul in the 1st half of the 83 Title game.

High profile examples, but I've seen hundreds of games get away from a team which sits a good player who gets two quick ones.

Gonna come down to the Dubs limiting their turnovers, that's the only thing keeping the Cavs in the game.

What about the plus 10 from the FT line?

12 to 2. 600%

 

[Inspekdah]

Anyone here ever have a rib injury? This is like my 4th. They're the fucking worst

 

[BetCrimes1984]

He's useless too. He does supposedly have no skin on one of his palms, so what.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

It's the same argument (my argument) for throwing your third best reliever into the fire with a runner in scoring position in a tie game in the 6th. Why not use your best reliever there? Your fire is in front of you. Game might be out of hand either way in the 9th.

 

[Inspekdah]

Thanks for that sight

 

[emkee]

Thread just took a turn for the worst.

 

[twinkie13]

Fuck I forgot it started an hour earlier tonight

7 too early

need 8pm central

 

[emkee]

That pastrami on rye not that appealing anymore.

 

[emkee]

No-one wants to be up late on a Sunday night.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

These NBA finals games and World Series games are too fucking late.

Well basketball is a fluid game unless baseball. Scores occur in ball regardless. In baseball, tennis, hockey, if you can truly limit a score by doing so I would do that.

But foul trouble is insane in NCAAB. And almost cost the Warriors the series vs. Thunder.

You rarely see the 6th called. But that's because they're no longer playing defense and sat for extended periods.

 

[mook]

Does JR Smith even have a clue how to set a screen?

 

[emkee]

There it is.

 

[mook]

Terrible foul

 

[mook]

Stupid I meant.

 

[emkee]

Turnover after turnover.

 

[emkee]

Refs gonna muddy this shit up.

 

[Inspekdah]

Refs gonna muddy this shit up.

They would if the Cavs played into it better.

Contested long 2's like Irving just took are exactly why this team sucks.

 

[Inspekdah]

RJ was one inch away from an epic missed dunk

 

[Inspekdah]

BANG

 

[emkee]

Love is a mitch.

 

[Inspekdah]

Maybe they'll realize they need Moz

 

[Frank Costanza]

Bogut must have had to do something other than take a shit.

Played very, very well in 1Q. Not been back since.

 

[Inspekdah]

Small ball with the team they basically invented it

Maybe he was sick? The shits?

 

[Inspekdah]

I thought I saw Bogut start the 2h

heard he was grabbing his hand as he walked back to the locker room

 

[emkee]

Live shot of Bogut in the can...

 

[Inspekdah]

haha

 

[emkee]

lol, calling Bron-Bron travels. I'll be damned.

 

[ArizonaKid]

Maybe they'll realize they need Moz

I don't even know if he is healthy.

They knew the were heading to the Finals and likely to face the Warriors, so after Lue benched Mozgov why didn't they pick up a post defensive presence instead of Channing Frye ? Love and Thompson don't scare anyone at the rim

 

[Frank Costanza]

Could be. I mean, shit happens, no?

 

[Frank Costanza]

Jeff...don't try to sell women's shit.

Surprised James never went out and got the Birdman

 

[Inspekdah]

Me and Em knew Draymond was going to rise again in these finals

 

[Inspekdah]

Iggy and Lebron both just shot the 2 worst 3's in history, back to back

 

[Frank Costanza]

Yes, this isn't that unbridled garbage from the East.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

You guys want to talk about the first place Tribe?

 

[Frank Costanza]

Curry has 25 points in 7 qtrs and this series is no contest.

Absorb that.

 

[cogenman]

I'm literally shocked at the level of competition in these finals so far

 

[Frank Costanza]

Who was it, how many of you, contested that the East was (even somewhat) legit?

Raise your hand.

 

[Inspekdah]

If the Cavs lose 4-1 or 4-0. What can Lebron do? The Cavs do? To win a ship?

If they lose in 5 or less they're a long way from winning a ship.

Paul for Kyrie?

Kyrie can't lead a Cavs team to 30 wins without LBJ

 

[tipyerbartender1]

lol, no one was doing that.

LEast

 

[cogenman]

Clev 4/17 3 ball. They aren't hitting their shots.
