[dman14]

after this finals ______ would've three-peated if _______ was playing

lebron will be playing the w's in the finals for the next five years. just let it play out

 

[NickFolarin]

Cavs fans should be worrying about game 3 against Celtics up 21 at the half. Dubs gonna spank dat hispster glutes

 

[lamekilla]

Based on what? What makes you say that? they both played the 1st 4 games of 2016 and went down 3-1. Wasn't til Warriors lost or had hobbled 3 of their difference makers that the cavs did anything of importance.

The series went 6 games in 2015. The Warriors didn't add any pieces for the next season but got even better. The Cavs didn't add any pieces either, and didn't look better than they did the year before but just played with the unit they were suppose to come into the finals with....they won the 2016 series in 7 games.

See how a little editing works.

Draymond missed 1 game out of the 7 games played in the 2016 finals. Bogut missed 2 games out of the 7 games played in the 2016 finals.

Kyrie missed 5 games out of the 6 games played in the 2015 finals. Love missed 6 games out of the 6 games played in the 2015 finals.

Dubs fans should be worrying about game 1 against spurs down 25 at the half. Cavs gonna spank dat hispster glutes

Only game I am worried about, tbh.  And by worried, I mean slightly concerned.

 

[freeze]

meh, warriors probs get run out of the gym game 1. not a big deal really. time off hurts them more than helps them in regards to shooting rhythm. They find a way to stay locked in over these next 5 days, they're gucci.

I hope every player on both teams stays healthy, no suspensions and no fishy *** officiating while the Warriors blow the ******* lid off the Cavs in 4 games. 90% of the posters in here would probably go ghost for a couple months in all NBA related threads.

Wonder if the same could be said if it was the Cavs winning decisively 

 

[a-friend]

Sometimes if you come in this thread, enough posts could actually make you forget the Dubs beat Bron & the Cavs in the Finals before

It's almost like it never happened.... or the story won't get told....

They beat Lebron w/out his Cavs.

THey lost to Lebron w/ his Cavs.

They didn't beat the Cavs, they beat Lebron, once.

You are right and wrong.

No refs with fishy business and the series essentially comes down to

Workhorses: Lebron and Kyrie vs. KD and Steph

Key role players: K. Love and Tristan Thompson vs. Klay Thompson and Draymond Green

Bench depth: Cleveland's depth vs Golden State's Depth.

Be honest with yourselves and you see off top Cleveland wins 2 out of those 3 categories....

Absolutely not. The Warriors and their fans are used to winning at this point...I don't ever see them bragging or rubbing it in other fans faces.

The Warrior haters literally do NOTHING but hate on them every single day and Cavs fans just trash on them for any shortcoming that any of the players on the team have ever had in their career. They deserve to be ******* annihilated for the way they've acted. I'm here for it.

 

[Based Jesus]

So when the Cavs lost to the celtics all the bron stans in here were copping pleas tryna get ahead of whatever happened in the finals.

"The dubs are stacked. Cavs are supposed to lose". Then they finish their business in game 5 and it's "LeGoat gonna wash the dubs" again.

Yall need to make up ya minds. Cant have it both ways.

I feel like Lebby haters are similar though. I'm here for that

Draymond Green isn't a role player and Cleveland has the advantage in none of these categories

Gimme drizzy dray over love and TT

 

[Mr.Guy]

I hope we get a tripple overtime game 7.

 

[noblekane]

@NobleKane
 I see you are in first place in the NTBracket. You are Welcome.

Just came in to say that.

Back to my Flat Earth videos. 

ummm your joking right?

 

[lamekilla]

Draymond Green isn't a role player and Cleveland has the advantage in none of these categories

So Draymond is a star player?

Are you taking KD over Lebron?

Are you REALLY taking Steph over Kyrie? (be honest with yourself)

You think the Warriors have a deeper bench then Cleveland?

 

[MVP]

Bron is the only advantage that the Cavs had. And even that will be negated this year because of the extra energy he's going to gave to spend on defense. Draymond is a star player. Top 20 in the league.

 

[freeze]

dray is a star player. absolutely.

 

[noblekane]

They beat Lebron w/out his Cavs.
THey lost to Lebron w/ his Cavs.

They didn't beat the Cavs, they beat Lebron, once.
You are right and wrong.

to be fair the warriors were up 3-1 when both teams were at full strength last year

then came the injuries

when both love and kyrie were out the previous year the cavs were up 2-1 against a full strength warriors team

 

[antidope]

Draymond Green is an all NBA player

At best category one is a wash, and that's if you want to say that the gap between Bron and KD is as big as the Steph Kyrie one (which I'd disagree with). LeBron, KD, and Steph are all top 5 NBA players. Kyrie is not one.

GSW not only has better depth they have depth that can actually be self reliant unlike the Cavs. We've seen entire bench mobs from the Warriors run offense and sustain an output the Cavs couldn't dream of doing the same.

LeBron James is literally the only positive for the Cavs.

 

[ballinsam23]

Warriors in 5. They'll make up for last years BS.

 

[Proposition Joe]

So Draymond is a star player?

Are you taking KD over Lebron?

Are you REALLY taking Steph over Kyrie? (be honest with yourself)

You think the Warriors have a deeper bench then Cleveland?

Who in their right mind wouldn't take steph over kyrie

 

[lamekilla]

So there is the root of it. You guys are overrating Draymond and underrating Kyrie.

Kyrie will be finals MVP in about 2 weeks

 

[ballinsam23]

Myrie is literally the luckiest player in the NBA. Imagine he was the #1 option on a team? Dude would get destroyed by the media. Labeled a loser for life. Point guard version of Melo.
