2015-2016 NBA playoff edition: Finals - Cavs vs Warriors - Cavs win 4-3
- Thread starter Mask
- Start date
THANK GOD we are out of his asking price
Man West do him, it's was about the other players coming to dance at the party, not hold the wall up...
A rematch would be epic, oilers just hope Views from the six don't come out and embarrass Bron Bron and them
Man I'm finally checking back, when I last post the thread was on page 209...nowit's on 223 wtf!!!
I know the warriors took that L, but damn....man if the Cavs stubble, this bitch gonna do Drake type numbers.
It won't
All these dudes are cavs fans
And warrior haters
98% of these niggas argued against me when I said okc would put it together and they had almost the most talent in the nba.
I'm letting them live for the moment but they know who these individuals who root for any team that plays against gsw are.
I'm bout to start calling steph beigekosi in a minute the way black folks hating on him and so called wise dudes aligning with Steve Adams and shit.
They speak up on other shit. Doc Rivers says aomething and you got Draymond calling him Glenn as to diss him but this and there quite?
Man Bills ain't no way in hell these cats Cavs fans... Probably three or four are true to the core, two hands full are band wagoners(me included, smh @ fucking Lebron returning), few are realist(won't say names because others think there are clowns) with many of the ones left still saying fuck Lebron from leaving...
So. You're saying the warriors need to call out Adams before his black teammates do?
Makes a ton of sense.
And doc is a sore ass loser that's why. They're rivals and he's salty the "little brothers" passed that organization and won a trophy and he can't get out of the 2nd round
So let's not act like there isn't major history there between them
Like doc doesn't constantly diss the warriors.
He does
And he's at home watching right on schedule like every other year
Like I said.
You want warriors to say something and the black players he plays with who he sees as monkeys too to just be quiet
Nah gsw are the new hated team. For no reason other than winning
Thunder should say something but it was directed at the Warriors players. So they should also say something. Docs jabs are nothing compared to this.
It is. Warriors haven't done shit but won and people feel like the warriors shouldn't because they're the warriors.
They liked steph when he was an upstart and hate him as an mvp
Liked the role of a cool little squad and not the one that's an nba champion
The warriors have not said shit yo anybody who hasn't said something to them first. And everyone has something underhanded and negative to say.
Coaches
Current players
Former players
Players on bum ass barely made the playoffs warrior teams
And again what did they do to garner this much hate?
Nobody should want a CLV OKC final
It's not about comparing its,the context
They don't get all on doc after he said 1 thing and they keep talking about him. There's history
Now I agree they should speak on it but I think they'll speak on the court from this point forward.
Thunder the one that gotta play with him
They have no LeSean Mccoy to keep it real it seems so far
That the Cavs are a jump shooting team just like all of the teams lebron has won with but somehow only 1 team in the nba I'd labeled one whereas a team with lebron James on it wins or loses depending on if they hit 3 point shots.
That's first.
Next that they're shooting a wide open shot I'm willing to bet 80% of those passes are drive and kick.
Right my only thing was the Steve Kerr getting coach of the year....other than that it's straight 1000 with them....
Maybe some of the dislike is centered behind Mark Jackson's dismissal, cause other than that folks on here shouldn't have anything negative to say.
Would not watch that's. That's like panthers Cleveland Super Bowl.
Right, the crazy thing is, I feel they could of played more inside and been just as effective but them wide wide wide open looks we're hard to pass up, along the risk of some fuck shit happening.
It's time to be honest
Jackson got fired because he dissed hays
And was getting extorted by a side piece
Maybe popovich can survive that. If Kerr dissed gays and had a side piece causing drama he'd get the axe.
That had more to do with why he isn't here than anything.
Also he never had a healthy Bogut or ezili and the reserve pieces were not there for him either.
Kerr inherited a different team than he got to coach
They won't that's not lebron likes it. Just facts.
2 big guys who had post games were moved to stretch positions now because lebron wants that lane open.
Bosh and now love.
It is what it is
All I know is that WCF Coli thread was on fire thoughMan I'm finally checking back, when I last post the thread was on page 209...now
I know the warriors took that L, but damn....
I don't hate the Warriors fam. I think they're the best team in the league. I'm an old school dude who likes the inside game and physical play, so I'm not going to be into running and gunning. That doesn't mean I don't respect what they're doing.
You're on the level.
I respect you I'd say Tex if it was right at you.
I'm just kinda shocked when I was the lone ranger riding with Westbrook lol getting clowned
Now....
And no that's not a shot at you king t
You defended Russ against the whole board. He still gonna shoot them in and out of a game this series I think.
This isnt totally true. They have had their moments where they've made slick comments and thrown shots at people.
-Steph's "I wanna win one for Akron" quote last Finals a direct subliminal at Bron
-Steph's "I can still smell the champagne" quote before playing at Cleveland this past January
-Klay's "They didnt beat us, we beat ourselves" quote after Milwaukee blew them out and ended the streak back in December
-Dray's "We've only lost 3 games, there's an asterisk by the others" quote when they had 7 as if to discredit some of the team's that beat them.
-Steph's "It'll be a good 48 hours - a win and a win" quote guaranteeing a victory over OKC and the Panthers in the SB that weekend.
Even Steph's "I've gotten good at ignoring people" quote towards LeBron when he said he "deserved MVP but the term is debatable" wasnt the most diplomatic response.
Throw in the showboating during games, crip walking, flexing, shimmying, etc and its not like they dont get their haters riled up.
Chameleon Cavs tote two most efficient lineups into East finals
play
Irving, Cavs confident heading into East finals (1:19)
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- LeBron James has long possessed a skill set that shunned conventional definition by position. While he's listed on the lineup card at small forward, he has the court vision of a point guard and the body of a power forward, a mix so rare that Hall of Famer Rick Barry once said he "fantasizes" about James' ability.
James' Cleveland Cavaliers, a perfect 8-0 in the postseason heading into Tuesday's Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Toronto Raptors (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN), have taken on his versatility as a team.
Out of the 24 five-man lineups that have played at least 35 minutes together through the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Cavs had the two best lineups -- in terms of efficiency -- that any team put out on the court, according to research by ESPN Stats & Information.
Kyrie Irving, J.R. Smith, Kevin Love andTristan Thompson is a plus-63 in 164 minutes together.
Their small-ball group of James,Matthew Dellavedova, Iman Shumpert,Richard Jefferson and Channing Fryehas played only 37 minutes together this postseason but is a plus-25 in that span, outscoring opponents by 39.1 points per 100 possessions.
While 37 minutes are far fewer than the 164 the starters have played together, the small-ball group has still played the second-most minutes together of any Cavs lineup this postseason.
Not only does the small-ball lineup give the Cavs a different approach, it is also something that opposing defenses have had little opportunity to prepare for as Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue did not play that combo for even a single minute together during the regular season.
"We've gone over and played with in these playoffs with different lineups where we've played big or small," Love said. "I remember in the first series with [Andre] Drummond, I played 5 and LeBron will play the 4. We play big and go with our starting lineup and go with different players in there. I think the last series you saw Channing and I play together quite a bit as well, and it's just going to depend on how [the Raptors] match up with us, so I think we will try to take advantage in any way we can."
The question of where the Cavs will go with their personnel becomes all the more pertinent when considering the state of flux of the Raptors' roster. Will they have Jonas Valanciunas, out for Game 1 with a lingering ankle injury, healthy at any point in the series? Will they stick with Bismack Biyombo, their answer to Thompson as a big who can switch out and defend the perimeter on pick-and-rolls, if Valanciunas does indeed return? Will Cleveland try to play small anyway, even if Toronto goes big with some combination of the two?
"Our approach doesn't change," James said. "Our approach is the same as if guys are in, if guys are out. It's still the same. We want to wreak havoc defensively, we want to push the tempo offensively and it's been the same mantra of ours all season."
Same mantra, but not the same men. Cleveland is changing as the postseason unfolds. It's only right that James is a part of his team's two most effective lineups in the playoffs thus far as captain of the chameleon Cavs.
Several Cleveland players have said the team is searching for a "next level" as the playoffs progress. Getting there just might involve the next lineup that Lue has up his sleeves.
"We feel like our best basketball is ahead of us, as well as we've played so far," James said. "We look forward to the next challenge."

Damn we finally got something. Least the No.1 pick is ours.
Can't go wrong with Simmons or Ingram.
