Nah they gonna lose game 2..GS remembers what happen 2 them last year..
2015-2016 NBA playoff edition: Finals - Cavs vs Warriors - Cavs win 4-3
- Thread starter Mask
- Start date
Man OKC messed off a golden opportunity. Cavs are finished. They have so many liabilities facing the Warriors it isn't even funny.
May need to do some extreme shit to even compete.
Dawg it was one game, OKC and the Warriors looked like pure shit for one game each during these playoffs.
The Raptors looked like shit against the Cavs but women two games at home.
Point is, the Warriors did what they were supposed to do, win at home. The series doesn't start until game three or if the Cavs win tomorrow.
If Scott Foster is the lead ref then Cavs will win
But to the other points you gonna rely on the rest of them cats on the cavs to step up? This GS team ain't the Pistons Hawks or raps.. GS prob if not the best 2 way team in the league from top to bottom

You're right.
How you be finding out which refs are more favorable to which team? Seems like that shit tells the story.
It's been that way for years.. Certain refs clearly skew the game in ther favor of the team they got money on.. You just tell by their overall record when they officiate that team's games vs the rest of the league...
Foster use to be on some surpreme hoe shit with Miami.. Him and Joey Crawford.. Remember Joey fouled out Lebron in a crucial playoff game in OT.. Think about that
Lol
If I remember correctly the are 22-5 in playoff games not refereed by Foster.
With foster as the refs the Warriors have lost the last 4-9
Is he the ref tonight?
Yep scott foster is the ref tonight
NBA is the absolute worst at postseason scheduling. Not only did we have to wait half a week for game 2 but it starts 8 or 9 pm on a Sunday.
Awful.
Yeah... Imma miss damn near the whole game... After game 2 ALL the games start at 9pm. I do understand thought, you have a west coast team. Even starting at 9 EST the games are starting at 6 PST. Time differences are fucked, but they have the right to be able to watch the games too... Can't have games starting at 4pm out there, fools would need to take half days at work and shit to come to the games...
As I said... Cavs will pull out game too, unless there is a complete meltdown by one of their big 3. Their team isn't built for any of them to have a bad game against GS...
I think GS still wins; and if/when they do, series is over...
So if they dont does that mean its a series?
Ref is tied in to vegas; vegas has GS favored by 6 1/2; GS wins tonight...
Yes, it will go longer than expected but GS will still win the series; GS wins tonight series goes 5 max...
BDR the resident ref expert has already made his predictions fam! Hes like 90% with this stuff. Dropped 200 on the CAVs already...
LeBron is also damn near undefeated in Game 2's after a Game 1 loss. Dude is going to have an EPIC game tonight watch! Bout to come up!
As much as we go back and forth, I really believe your boy is going to have an epic game tonight! He's damn near unbeatable in game 2's after an L so I got to run with history on this one.... 40pt almost triple double is not out of the question I think!
Too many intangibles for a series that lopsided... They went 6 last year against a borderline NBDL team last finals, Kyrie and Love are at least good for 2 games this series...

I seen that but Vegas is teasing you to take the Cavs; I dont like it; the line should be higher based on how the Cavs played; I like GS...BDR the resident ref expert has already made his predictions fam! Hes like 90% with this stuff. Dropped 200 on the CAVs already...

Love and Kyrie dont help them against GS; thats the point; Cavs are trying to play small and faster which feeds right into what GS wants to do; Love and Kyrie for what they bring offensively are terrible defensively; And Cavs playing faster wont work; They are an iso team with stand still jump shooters; no post players that can consistently create and Kyrie is not a smart player; They dont use Love well and Love isnt a consistent player on that team; not buying Cavs...
No, Im saying Lue keeps saying he wants them to play faster...So if they do thats gonna be exactly what GS wants; Cavs presents no challenge for GS(from a defensive perspective); Their big men are not athletic(outside of TT, and hes a waste on the offensive end); Love and Kyrie are just horrible on defense, so is Frye; And if GS switches everything and dont double, how will the Cavs shooters be open?? Who cares if LBJ scores 40; you know how many shots he will have to take to do that?? and how less involved offensively the other players will be?? I just dont think the Cavs match up well with GS; I think people got suckered because OKC took it to GS and could have won; But OKC is a very athletic team with athletic bigs; something they Cavs are not...
I was saying the Cavs get game 3. OKC embarrassed GS and in think that lit a fire... they seemed too reared at home and letting the energy in the crowd fuel them.
Damn

Not sure he means faster in the true sense, but faster in the sense of their offense doesn't have the multiple progressions GS's does. With the Cavs the first or second option has to be decisive in what they are going to do and do it... Once it gets past the second option, they become a stand still watch Kyrie or LeBron dribble and go ISO team, and THAT team gets blown out 9 out of 10 times.
I do believe they can have some success if they are aggressive but controlled aggression. If Kyrie is out there dribble for 10 seconds and then shooting, even if he hits a few they will still lose. Love and JR have to work harder to get open, maybe run off of a screen or two, and all this time forcing Love to be a spot up 3pt shooter is haunting them now. The few times he took his defender to the block he was successful, and LeBron has to realize that its not always whats best for YOUR game, but you have to be adaptable. You brought this man to Cleveland to help, sometimes you have to let him work.
Thanks why I laugh at all the LeBron makes everyone around him better, and one of the key reasons why Love has struggled at times, LeBron really doesn't have a compromise at times game... You have to adjust to HIS style of play, and that can have a negative impact on a player at times, i.e. Love...
Yea I understand that, but playing fast is the Cavs strength when healthy.
In game 1, they had probably the only time I saw repeated quick possession, they hit 2 shots from deep, that came after a missed jumper, Kerr called a timeout ASAP....he knew they was about to get running...
Thing is fam, the league DOES NOT WANT a lopsided Finals. All year they've been playing up to the Cavs /Warriors rematch with a healthy Cavs team, and from a marketing and advertising perspective, it hurts them in the future if we keep having dominant series by one team. Look at the drama of the OKC/GS series?!?! That's what the league needs. Also, with all this the West is stronger than the East convo, they need to distance themselves from that too and the way to do that is with a competitive finals. Not saying the Cavs are going to win the Finals, but I also believe that's why the league announces the officials game to game instead of a schedule at the beginning of the series... They need to see how the previous game plays out before bringing in their 'ringer' for the next one...
