0fficial 2017-2018 NBA Postseason Thread....NBA Finals Cavs vs Warriors 0-4(dubs back 2 back champs)

[Spectrum]

Bad sign for Cleveland. I don't see how they can really play much better and they're going in tied. Lebron is starting to look gassed. He needs to do way too much work on the offensive end. And the Warriors are a third quarter team. Cavs absolutely has to outplay the Warriors and make shots in the 3rd. if you keep it close going into the 4th, the warriors will get tight. They're front-runners.

Warriors showing no resistance when Cleveland (Lebron) attacks the basket.

Damn Houston

Ol 27 3 pointers missed in a row ass niggas.

Morons.

Bron had to bail him out on that point blank put back that he missed

7 feet... right that at the fucking basket and cant even get it close.

Triston garbage
JR a bum
Clarkson is bum-tastic
Hood is bum-riffic
Jeff Green is bummish
Korver is bummish
Love aight
Hill is meh

Don't really know how the Cavs are going to score

 

[Spectrum]

Not getting ANYTHING back for Kyrie is really fucking them right now. They need one more offensive weapon that can create offense.

 

[Amajorfucup]

One of the first plays they had JR matched on Steph and he beat his slight ass down into the paint and scored easy. They havent gone back to that play since. Why!??

Kerr continues to go with green and Looney and the Cavs could not take advantage of it. Lebron will have to score 40 plus because I can’t see JR or Love being able to score consistently

Jeff Green has been more consistent than Hill. Even if he doesn't do much offensively, he still contributes on the defensive end.

Has that feel from the first match between them two; Kyrie was hurt.

 

[stretchwallz]

Cavs have Craig Ehlo coming off the bench in the 3rd

The pace is much different but yeah... it's the same kind of thing where the difference in talent is crazy.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Hill is a good defensive matchup against their backcourt. Nance Jr can have a Capela like presence when Bron is on the floor.

The Dub didn't have Durant, then.

Now it's pitiful. Even if the Cavs was to get a little help offensively, Warriors have enough talent to contain the 3rd scorer (a limited and inconsistent 3rd scorer).

Bron took the challenge on most of KDs shots.. KD 2 for 9.

 

[Sir_Fuzzy_McWaffle_Feet]

Welp if i had bet on first half money line curry would have pissed me off with that last second 3 . But i did spread .

Glad i won

 

[KingTaharqa]

Dray so weak. Bron posed to be out the game now. Softest goon ever.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Kevin Love continues to be lost on defensive end, giving up paint points to GSW..

 

[Mr. Met]

Here comes that 3rd quarter run.

 

[Sir_Fuzzy_McWaffle_Feet]

Then the 3rd qrt happen

 

[yaBoi]

[Sir_Fuzzy_McWaffle_Feet]

if the celtics played bron like that they would be in the finals

And if a horse had stripes it'd be a zebra

 

[Amajorfucup]

Seriously man, Draymond behaves like a bitch. Why is this guy going ape shit over an obvious hack in the paint??

 

[KingTaharqa]

Cavs shouldve put McGee on the FT line every time down the floor. Hack-A-Fool

 

[4 Dimensional]

Damn. They only 3 minutes in.

 

[yaBoi]

And if a horse had stripes it'd be a zebra

Dan Gilbert states the Cavaliers wouldn't have made the NBA Finals without trading Kyrie Irving
The Cavaliers were not favoured to reach the NBA Finals this year after finishing the regular season with the fourth best record in the Eastern Conference.

They had undergone two huge roster changes from last year with their biggest change being when Irving told Cleveland he wanted to leave.

Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder and Ante Zizic were acquired in the deal but neither Thomas or Crowder worked out.

They were both shipped out in the February trade deadline with Derrick Rose, Channing Frye, Iman Shumpert, Dwayne Wade also leaving.

Cleveland traded Kyrie Irving to the Boston Celtics last summer
In came George Hill, Rodney Hood, Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr as the Cavaliers improved but they still struggled to climb up the Eastern Conference standings.

However, in a series of tweets prior to Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Cavaliers and Warriors, Gilbert has spoken about how both James' excellence and trading Irving away in fact helped them reach the Finals.

He tweeted: "@cavs fans, despite multiple challenges, we have arrived at the NBA Finals for the 4th year in a row w/the opportunity to win our 2nd ring in 3 yrs.

"The biggest 3 reasons (among many) we are again here in Oakland a few minutes from the tip-off to Game 1 of the Finals are...

TWITTER/@cavsdan

Dan Gilbert posted a series of tweets prior to Game 1 about the Cavs reaching the Finals
"1. LeBron James - No words describe his level of play & commitment to this game. His impact is magical. We go as he goes.

"2. The dedication & underlying belief of KLove, TT, JR , Korver, Green, G.Hill, Larry, Clarkson, Cedi, Ante, Perk & every other player on this roster

"3. Trade 1.0 last summer & Trade 2.0 at the deadline led by a humble, talented, young GM: Koby Altman.

"W/o either of these 2 bold moves orchestrated by Koby & the @cavs front office, we would not be here w/ a good chance to bring another one home to CLE. #WhateverItTakes
