2015-2016 NBA playoff edition: Finals - Cavs vs Warriors - Cavs win 4-3

[drowzie]

Nobody can "will" a team to a championship, and the vast majority of Championship teams have had multiple All-Stars.

The Warriors are whupping the Cavs, mainly because the execute as a team much better than Cleveland does. There's no need for the clichè Lebron Commentary.

Nigga please, if this was Kobe you niggas would be having a field day!! Now it's all about the team when Bron can't dominate...FOH! These dudes ran through the East bruh, like it wasn't shit!! You can't see the irony in that? Name one team other than Toronto/Cleveland in the East with at least 2 All-Star caliber players?

all that's left is him learning how to finally dribble and change direction
and become an assist guy.

With green and curry there, it will be hard for him to get assist consistently; but his dribbling will improve; man GS is really in a great space right now; 3 guys that are still improving; If they keep Festus and Barnes, well thats 2 more young guys that can improve as well...

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

Any word on Love condition? (Although he should be getting treated for 3rd degree burns from getting cooked this series.)

 

[Spectrum]

all of that is true
however i am not entertaining any talks of help.
period.

Nope. THIS IS THE TEAM HE WANTED. It was not the team he should have but this is what he wanted.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

But you WILL entertain 'talks of help' when Curry only scores 15 points........... and Green scores 28 points, right?
Or that doesn't matter either?

Does not matter. Last years ring didn't count in the hearts and minds of everyone that isn't a warrior fan because kyrie and love were not in the lineup.
lebron was out there with scrubs and still won 2 games so if kyrie and love is out there then the warriors would get swept

this is what i heard all off season and during the season.

the series is not over. we need 2 more wins.
ill leave it at that.

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Any word on Love condition? (Although he should be getting treated for 3rd degree burns from getting cooked this series.)

Whose been cooking Love?

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Dude googled his ass off didn't he?

and all of it is legit all of it
im not bout to crunch no numbers.
i just need to count to 4.

stay focused play hard rest up and come out with energy for game 3 and lets see if the team has the character to take this shit. they still have everything to prove.

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Question to the board... Which player, on either team, has been the victim of the worst roasting in the finals so far?

Who hasn't? That dude's been invisible.

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Who hasn't? That dude's been invisible.

Ok, but be more specific tho... Who exactly has cooked him!

 

[grownazzblakman]

So... LeBron was minus one against the other teams THIRD best player, and stood helplessly by in the third quarter while said third best player led the charge to run away with the game!?!? Yeah, that's ownage Bruh... And miss me with Google, anybody who knows the game knows game ending stats don't tell the whole story of a game.... Example, you mentioning his weak ass hollow stat almost triple double which had absolutely no impact on the game and most of those stats came in the first half, as he all but disappeared in the second half, and you also neglected to post his 8 turnovers or his minus 20 in plus/minus when he was on the court, or Greens high ass PER while Leabron was guarding him....

Your gonna have to come stronger at me than with some weak ass Google nonsense Bruh... I'm actually a person who has played the game on a competitive level and actually understands the game quite well....

Try again... But think your next post through a little deeper tho

Nobody dropping Google nonsense.
Those are the final ESPN stats.

Dude, the WHOLE game is DECIDED by the 'final stats'.
Not the first half alone... or the second half alone.

In the NBA, they don't go out... and just play 'one half' of basketball.... then declare a winner.
This ain't the playground.

A triple-double ALWAYS has 'impact on the game'.
Points and assists ALWAYS impact 'total point production'.... because those ARE DEFINITE... Somebody DEFINITIVELY put the ball in the hoop.

However, turnovers do not impact 'total point production'... because teams DO NOT ALWAYS SCORE on a turnover.
A turnover is not a DEFINITIVE measure of 'point production'.

So if you are arguing over 'how someone was getting cooked'.... while talking about 'the points they scored'.. then you have to take into account BOTH points & assists.

With green and curry there, it will be hard for him to get assist consistently; but his dribbling will improve; man GS is really in a great space right now; 3 guys that are still improving; If they keep Festus and Barnes, well thats 2 more young guys that can improve as well...

Well I don't expect him to average 5 assists. Just not be a liability in the open court with the ball lol that's all.

 

[Spectrum]

The Cavs are fucked though.

The don't have the executive experience to put a team together. Lebron is not a good GM. Plus, he's clearly on the tail end of his prime. The window is closed for this team.

This team, as built, is always going to come up short. It looks like it was fucked from the beginning when Lebron forced Wiggins out and brought in love. It immediately make the team weak defensively and weak in a way that could never be fixed enough to beat the best WC team.

Who hasn't? That dude's been invisible.

but none of this shit is new though?
love couldn't play defense in minnesota.
its different guarding slow foot al hortford.

 

[BDR]

Klay doesn't have to score another bucket in my opinion. he won that game 5 by himself. You would have lost 4-1 to OKC if not for that effort. Crazy how big of a game that really way.

That was Klay's Ray Allen game 6

 

[babydaddy]

Ok, but be more specific tho... Who exactly has cooked him!

whoever he's checking, and he rotating late

 

[Entrepronegro]

Question to the board... Which player, on either team, has been the victim of the worst roasting in the finals so far?

Kevin Love

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

Ok, but be more specific tho... Who exactly has cooked him!

Harrison Barnes' elbow.

 

[Spectrum]

That was Klay's Ray Allen game 6

Yep. Shit was even more epic that Allen's though but the result was the same..shit saved a season.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Kyrie is another nigga i wanna slap the shit out of.

 

[BDR]

3 more days off now too.
warriors gotta stay focused. don't relax. get out there and play good defense and run the offense.

That OKC series taught them a huge lesson.. No nights off and don't take your opponent lightly

Ok... It's obvious you truly know more about basketball that I though.... I truly stand corrected and totally understand now how over my head I am in challenging your complete and unparralleled knowledge of the game.... Please forgive me, I promise I'm won't make that mistake again... You're absolutely correct, if a player has say 80 percent of his production in the first half, and only 20 percent of his production in the second half, and doesn't truly help or contribute to his team while they are being pulled away from and blown out while he is on the court in a game deciding run in the second half.... His first half production outweighs his 3rd quarter disappearing act. makes a lot of sense. Thanks for clearing that up...

 

[mrJR]

Unless Kyrie and SOMEONE else steps up to take pressure off Lebron, it is done.

If things keep playing out like this, it's either dump Love or Kyrie for some pieces.

Boohoo LeBron needs the pressure taken off of him... I thought he was the best player in the world tho... Lmao

 

[babydaddy]

Love was great in Minnesota because he was the man,nobody else on the that team could score or rebound and win and losses didnt matter. only thing everyone saw was the rebounding numbers and points.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

That OKC series taught them a huge lesson.. No nights off and don't take your opponent lightly

yup i was livid. after every l i said play hard and run the offense don't just go out there and go through the motions
them niggas went out there and PLAYED HARD.
hustled.
started fighting for rebounds and loose balls and they just simply were not until their backs were against the wall. i complained about the turning it on and off at nausea
2 down. come out even stronger for game 3. even harder. don't take a game off.

 

[BDR]

Listen that's all good. but it don't change that he got carried throughout the entire playoffs last year
I said he could do better and he has i removed the smedium tag in the houston series i haven't called him smedium but people can't let go of old shit
ive called steph smedium more times this playoffs than anyone else on the warriors

Bills you gotta stop that man.. Klay has turned the corner.. He took her performance last year and did something about it this year you cannot as for much more than that..

Also he's better at putting the ball on the floor and going to the basket

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

 

[BDR]

Yep. Man..that was a legacy saving game..because the warriors would have gotten cooked during the offseason if
they had lost to OKC 4-1... and Klay pretty much had the greatest shooting performance (from 3) in playoff history to
save the warriors.

And to think there's a player on his team that's better than him at shooting the 3 lmaooo

 

[BrownTurd]

Whose been cooking Love?

The entire team

 

[SIDESHOW]

Nope. THIS IS THE TEAM HE WANTED. It was not the team he should have but this is what he wanted.

GSW has 20 turnovers and wins by 30? I don't know if anything comparable has ever happened in the league before.
