Tonight is Cleveland's only win in this series.

Kid still wet behind the ears, he'll get better.

[Seto]

Well this was some kind of a failed thread.

Gotta start questioning whether Golden State is actually ready for this stage. I guess it's not really time to get alarmed though. This played out exactly like game 3 of Grizzlies/Warriors with the Warriors looking like complete dogshit until the 4th and they won the last 3 games easily. It doesn't seem logical to me that a team would lose the finals purely from stagefright and being flat out outworked at times, so that's what I'm expecting to happen.

Kept WARNING YALL, this dude Seto is CLUELESS

He had the BULLS beating the cavs


Still grasping for straws in this thread. "This is just like v. Memphis! LeBron James doesn't exist!"

[Seto]

Kid still wet behind the ears, nice learning experience.

Do I really need to remind you of every failed prediction you've made in these playoffs while I'm up 76 units in the playoffs in my thread? Geez only on SBR

Seto..the question you have to ask is will Delladova come down with a mysterious injury like Tony Allen did ? lol...which is the only reason the Warriors won that series....this has been on my mind even during the Houston series....Allen destroyed both him and Klay....Dova is as intense and is younger...he does not have the IQ but man to man...he's the same guy...so is it any surprise?

Seto I look at it like this. Curry showed he wasn't ready for the big stage when he tried to make that behind the back pass when they were down 4. This isn't a regular season game this is the f'ing finals.

Personally I was glad he did that since I was on Cleveland. They have no answer for Lebron as of now. Good luck the rest of the series!

I'll add this too. I smile every time I see Green, Barnes or Andre take a 3. Id let them shoot them all day.

Allen played in game 4 which was the biggest game in the series. You could argue the turning point was Kerr putting Bogut on Allen, making Memphis play 4-on-5 on offense and basically forcing Memphis to take Allen out.

This Delly guy can actually make open shots so you can forget about employing that kind of a strategy.

I'm not sure they're ready for the stage either.

OKC did the same thing a few years ago. Won game one, lost three close games in a row and then got blown out and game five.

The jump shots aren't coming as easy and the game is being played at the Cavs pace.

Still a lot of ball left.

Yes, what other than hou/gs game 3, I rarely post picks. Did emphasize that GS might win 2 games. Was only messing with you, at least you can hop on Cavs for series and still make a good profit.

That was just a miscommunication with Green. I mean the behind the back pass looks fancy and all but Green has a wide open 3 off that pass if he is where Curry thought he was.

No argument for Green or Andre. Green generally frustrates me as an offensive player for some reason even though I realise he does a lot of things well. Barnes can make those shots though. Just an off night for him. He should bounce back.

You pretty much guaranteed LAC would win game 7 against Houston for one.

Pretty sure there's at least one more awful prediction somewhere.

[jtoler]

You're right I did lose on that one.

[JameisBrady]

lol this dude is bragging about his previous wins right now, ignoring my ether, and dodging the fact that he has been DEAD WRONG about the cavs all year long

[Seto]

Not quite sure why this Brady guy keeps on following me around the forum. It's kinda creepy tbh

[Menses]

Cavs fans acting like series is over...blasted fools jinxing the damn thing...no wonder line opened up with GS -2.5....already hit them small....lol

Don't you think -2.5 is crazy, why are they faves. They are just looking for Cavs money they know the line will move Cavs way big time.

He did it to me too.

I made a sarcastic thread joking...spent a whole three seconds doing it, didn't check the thread until a day later and saw he took it serious and made multiple posts all hot and bothered. Lmao.

He literally spent way more time worrying and posting than the thought I even put into it. Haha.

Some people have no lives but that's their problem. Hate on.

#1. It is time to start questioning if Golden State is ready for this stage now LOL? Maybe that should have happened before the series started.

#2. Comparing this to the Memphis series is a great way to rationalize Cleveland having a 2-1 lead, other than one small problem of course. Cleveland is not Memphis.

#3. It doesn't seem logical for a team to lose due to being rattled and out worked LOL? See the similar 2012 Thunder. They were/are both POS jump shooting teams.

#1 Why? What had GSW done to show they weren't ready?

#2 Who did this comparison? I don't think anyone was really comparing the Cabvs to the Grizzlies. Do you really think that?

#3 It does seem logical. I said that myself and compared them to OKC

Many people have been comparing those 2 series. They have been pretty similar in the way they've played out. Except Memphis is a much better team than Cleveland without Irving. The only thing is it's a bigger stage. Coming back from 1-2 in the Conference semis and in the NBA finals isn't the same thing.

The "jumpshooting teams don't win" argument is dumb and outdated. Were the 2011 Mavs not a jumpshooting team? Were the 2014 Spurs not a jumpshooting team? If/when Golden State wins this year maybe people can finally move on from this ridiculous concept.

#3 It does seem logical. I said that myself and compared them to OKC

#1. Maybe them being a young and inexperienced jump shooting team versus a more experienced penetration team that plays defense has something to do with it?

#2. Nope, I certainly don't think that. The op said it isn't time to be alarmed because the same situation happened in the Memphis series, and they overcame it. The 2-1 deficit and Golden State are the constants, that leaves Memphis and Cleveland, thus the comparison.

#3. Congratulations on that comparison then. We finally agree, however, the op stated that it didn't seem logical in post #37.

[KRIT]

I dont know seto, GS is such pussies. I look at that team and no one really wants it. Curry's behind the back pass under 2 minutes pretty much sums up their attitude in the finals. LeBron seems locked in, Warriors are playing loosey goosey.

[JameisBrady]

Telling you guys this Seto goober just said Memphis is better than Cleveland


Memphis has no superstar, let alone LeBron James, and you got idiots like this guy saying Memphis was better suited for beating the Warriors than the Cavs, who have in fact played SUPERIOR defense on GSW than even memphis did.


You can't make this shit up. Keep tailing him guys, his "track record" from previous seasons means oh so much this year

[Seto]

Looks like I was 1 game too early with this thread. Like I said, it made no sense GS was struggling that bad. This series was a huge mismatch.

[Seto]

Looks like you got this one wrong too.
