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

[gene cisco]

Man. They're going to win home games.. well at least one. I still think it's going six. The reason why it's not winnable for the Cavs is just because you can't expect them to be extraordinary. They "could" beat the Warrior, it's just they dont' have the type of players that show up. Remember, they were a Klay historic game away from getting their asses ran out of the playoffs 4-1.

Yeah, and Cavs have two big losses and KT and Curry haven't even lit things up. Lead ballooned from 10 to 20 with Curry out the game. They just giving this shit away, because KT and Curry can explode at any fucking time. What other team can do this with it's two top guys not going off? I can't think of none. I don't remember Jordan and Pippen not putting the smackdown and the Bulls mopping up the comp by 15 and 25.

But how are they going to keep all the role players when Curry wants the max contract? Klay getting 17M. Green gonna be 16M, Curry is gonna get up to 23-24M, .. they're not gonna be able to have them and then have all those damn role players unless they just eat a massive tax bill

Shit, I know if Gilbert owner that squad, it would be The league would be depressed as fuck. Like why we even playing games. Don't know much about the owner of GS, but I hope he's a cheap bastard that doesn't want to pay the tax bill. Seriously, he is on the verge of 60s Celtic type shit here. Also, GS is getting so much hype players can make it up through marketing.

Who are the role players? Because them cats on the bench are not getting max deals no more plus they were career starters on other teams and been in the league 10+ years.. If anything their vet minimums will go up and they where get more than the minimum

Klay locked up, dray locked up.. Iggy ain't going no where... West still consulting..

Just do the math man, the 2017 Salary cap is 89,000,000... the luxury is 108,000,000

Klay: 17M
Green: 16M
Curry: gonna be max 23M

With three players, they're already at 66M. They'll be over the cap just with the starting lineup if they keep Iggy and Bogut.

Yeah. If he decides to say fuck the luxury cap, it's a fucking wrap.

Yeah.. this is some rare shit.. the team is so balanced that the KT and Curry can be average and they can still blow out the EC champs.

Oracle arena.. The owner of Oracle is a billionaire and again with Jerry consulting they just might go over the cap to dominate the west.. It's about that time.. Warriors haven't been shit since Tim, Mitch and Chris with Gatling coming off the bench getting yanked on by Shawn kemp lmaoo

You're going to be a depressed dude. The Warriors owners have fuck it money and he will spend it haha. One of the issues with Mark Jackson was they wanted him to hire the best assistants he could and they would foot the bill but Mark didn't want to be overshadowed or something... They want to pay for the best everything...

I know who the owner is. Almost all of these guys can afford to go over the cap. Miami's owner could have if he really wanted to... but I wonder if he's going to just do that shit. If he just says fuck it though, then it's a problem because the core of this team is young as hell.

Well damn. Cats really going to have to come together to build a super team if the owner is going to spend. GS is an organic superteam that can arguably have 3 players first-team all NBA PLUS a bench.

Didn't know that about the owner. Well, congrats. Have fun being compared to the 60s Celtics unless the Cavs pull off a miracle this year and or in the next few finals(lets be honest, no one in their conferences are stopping these two squads). You one of the true fans on here.

After Dan Gilbert bamboozled the owners I suspect it's no mercy and they are going to make sure Dan pay Lmaooo

All they have to do is keep the core players along with Livingston and Iggy.. Everyone else will take slightly less to make the cap work because it's not like they getting max deals.. Only issue with GS is wether they keep Barnes or not

Shit, you right on both accounts. When Dan was doing it, I was amazed that they were falling for it. I kept commenting about that it didn't make sense. Now they do want to get him back.

Yeah, I hope Barnes don't TT them. But then again, they don't have someone with Lebron's influence fucking up the cap by campaigning for players to drain the owner. When Barnes was out, some cat stepped in and they didn't miss a beat. He needs to remember that shit.

I think Barnes is gone.

Owner will increase ticket prices and say fuck you to the real fans. Then every game another celebrity that jump on the bang wagon will be at courtside.

Sport is slowly becoming a game for the rich.

Everybody keeps talking about LeBron should have stayed in Miami... I guess people don't realize the Heat would NOT be the same team they are now if he'd stayed! There would have been no Winslow, no Richardson, MIGHT have been Whiteside... D Wade was still getting older, Bosh would STILL have developed his conditions... That team had run their course with what they accomplished...

Also, understanding Love is what he is, he was who he was before he came to the Cavs It doesn't help that Dude to LeBron and Kyrie's style of play he has been relegated to a spot up 3 point shooter and not much room to at LEAST do what he does well. You change the dynamic of almost any players strengths and you will get less production...

There have been pages of Love dissing going on, a lot of what is deserved, but he WAS NOT the biggest issue last night, Kyrie had 4 points in the first minute of the game, 6 the rest of the game, LeBron got torched by the Warriors 3rd best offensive player, AND had 8 turnovers?!?!?

Love didn't even play the majority of the second half, and they were down single digits when he left the game.... His +/- was only minus 8 and they lost by 33 FUCKING POINTS! How the hell was that on him!?!?!?

LeBrons +/- was minus 20 and Kyrie's was minus 26, but yet somehow the loss was all on Love?!?!?!

You guys are comical with you biased viewpoints on games. Its hard as fuck to take some of you seriously some times, with the way you conveniently avoid shit because it doesn't fit the narrative you're trying to project!

you right aint no telling what miami would have looked like had he stayed.but i can almost guarantee with whoever he had they'd be in the finals....stillhave a better coach and players with more heart.they still might be down 0-2 also lol you right about love tho when it was all them dudes

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Question: If you're Dan Gilbert, do you retain Lue for next season or start looking for another coach?

 

[D-TOWN REP]

Y'all don't think the Warriors are going to pay that tax bill when the time comes?

Who you think they are?

Mark Cuban?

The team is young enough to keep this going for years and they are 2 wins away from a back to back title

They will drop that cash and supplement the bench as needed

Fans were already complaining about the ticket prices. The playoffs prices increased 50%.

Only GS management can stop a GS dynasty at this point. They will become a favorite destination for quality free agents too because of their unselfish style of play and chemistry

who can stop the warriors in the next 2/3 years?

its easy to see them win 4/5 in a row!

Okc, Spurs, Clippers, GRizz, etc. injuries. The West is tough every year. The better ? would be who can stop Lebron and whatever team he's on from getting back to the Finals every single year playing in that Jr. high Conference.

[BitchI'llKillYa]

I don't disagree with Mosgov's potential impact, but he could also play with Love in the game too... Bring Thompson no offense having ass off the bench and it's the same dynamic. Love is not the problem, but it's amazing how skewed the debate is, and LeBron and Kyrie get little or no consistent criticism for their weak ass play to this point...

Lebron been getting shitted on

Kyrie needs to be...

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Nah bro, there may be a comment here and there about LeBron getting roasted, but nobody goes half as hard on him as you all do on love! LeBron and Kyrie both get the black man pass, but love gets a different degree of heat! As I've said before love was not even remotely the problem last night, the primary issue was last night will Kyrie and LeBron Point Blank.

 

[Mask]

Question: If you're Dan Gilbert, do you retain Lue for next season or start looking for another coach?

Man I was thinking about this when folks was saying Lue is getting out coached by Kerr. Then another member said Lebron wanted Mark Jackson but the front office canned that shit.


To be fair,

* It's the dubs your going against
* Rookie head coach talking over midways thru the year season should get some slack.
* I've been trying to get a feel for the staff... Which we know plays a huge part. I'm under the impression Alvin Gentry was the architect behind the dubs system.
* you might have to look at your current players and finding them right system.
Your team is getting to the finals, so that's half the battle.

the problem last night was poor coaching and prep going back to last summer

Love lacks the versatility skillset and defense to matchup with the warriors when they go small

Cavs vs Dubs 2014-2016( 3-5, 0-4 with possibly 5 games left)

 

[Day_Carver]

Tried to tell these cats this shit man.....Warriors been tested to this point. Even against the damn Blazers. Cavs cakewalked into this shit and the level of competition ain't been in the same. The East failed the Cavs.

The cavs level of competition or lack thereof isn't the reason why they getting roasted..Cavs just ain't on GS level..never have been..it's just media fans and posters believe in that fools gold
