Warriors will only need 5 games to beat the Cavs

[t-wizzle]

Cav's still win this series. Cue up the Warrior excuses in 2 weeks.

Mac go to bed man.

[Seto]

Yep. Sixers are in good shape.

Unfortunately not even sure that 2012 Heat could beat this Warriors team. Let's face it. LeBron has a pretty damn good team right now. There's nothing that can be done about this Warriors team. Lamest team in the history of sports. I hate betting on these jerkoffs.

Yea I said it'd be more interesting but the Warriors would still win.

Agreed. I'm just happy there's money to be made on them this year, next year they'll probably be -350 or something silly like that to win the title entering the playoffs. They're like that team a 10-year old creates playing NBA 2K or FIFA putting all the best players on his team.

you are looking more and more retarded, expect to get REKT, fool, this is just the beginning. Total mismatch.

Seto let's not forget though LeBron set this precedent. He went and formed a super team with a top 3 player in Wade and a top 10-15 player in Bosh. James was supposed to be the best player in the game but he needed a Big 3 just to win 2 of 4 years.

That's true. It's not as bad as what Durant did but it does set the precedent like you say.

[Shute]

Series will go 6-7

Yep it's all about precedent. I mean come on. The 2nd best player in the league went to a 73 win record breaking team. It's stupid. Just like we all said last July.

[t-wizzle]

Keep in mind the NBA disallowed Chris Paul to the Lakers for Pau Gasol because of "competitive balance." Total joke.

[stevenash]

Durant 38 points 0 turnovers
James 28 points 8 turnovers

1:1 assist to turnover ratio isn't very good, Actually it's butt ugly.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Series will go 6-7

Cav's in 6...

I still don't understand what the hell happened with that one??? Stern was so corrupt.

Robbed me of experiencing Kobe make a couple more runs at it

Fukking hate that I only got into this sport in 2010. I missed a great era if I had only started watching it earlier instead of watching soccer.

We would be in a great era right now if the two best teams weren't so stacked. The game itself is as healthy as it's ever been but the league has a problem with these two teams.

You really think so?

The 90s had some great teams.

Jazz - Stockton/Malone/Hornacek
Knicks - Starks/Ewing/Oakley
Sonics - Kemp/Payton/Schrempf
Suns - Barkley/Johnson/Ainge
Blazers - Drexler/Kersey/Robinson
Rockets - Olajuwon/Drexler/Smith, etc
Magic - Shaq/Penny
Pistons - Dumars/Laimbeer/Rodman

I'm not saying that there aren't teams with good players but in the 90s the path to resistance was a lot harder it seemed like. Jordan had to go through several Hall of Famers to win his rings.

I'm talking about the game itself. There are some things I don't like but it's faster and more athletic than ever. There's a lot of guys from the 90s who wouldn't have a shot in hell of playing today.

Now I will say I think the reliance on 3 pointers has probably swung too far and has actually hurt the game a bit but overall the game itself is probably better than it's ever been.

Detlef Shrimpf was a no one. How do u not put Isaiah Thomas in on the Pistons lol

lol seriously. He said Laimbeer lol. That big goon would have no shot in today's NBA.

[BigDofBA]

lol seriously. He said Laimbeer lol. That big goon would have no shot in today's NBA.

LOL. I was trying to go fast off of the top of my head...I feel like I left a team out too, anyway, my point was that it's a different era. In today's game Jordan might average 40+ a game because in the 90s it was a lot more physical style of play.

The game seems more free flowing now and you can't touch guys on the perimeter but you can hack the shit out of post players. Basically, the game caters to shooters now. To me, that's not necessarily a bad thing but it is what it is.

My main point was that if you put this Warriors teams in the 90s, they might still beat all of those teams I listed but I feel like the games would be a lot more competitive. The Bulls had to battle to win some of their titles. The Warriors are undefeated in the playoffs and winning every game by an average of over 15 points. I just don't see the Warriors running through some of those teams like that.

Let's face it, there weren't any teams good enough to challenge either Cleveland or Golden State in the playoffs. There wasn't even a team that could make it competitive.

Schrimpf gets honorable mention because he was my third man in NBA Jam bro.

[JaimeMiro]

Here we go with hypothetical debates: you can't compare across generations just for fun. Leave that stuff for barbershops
10 years from now ya'll be talking about how this was the golden generation

Cav's still win this series. Cue up the Warrior excuses in 2 weeks.

If the Warriors and the Cavs bring their 'A' game both at the same time for the rest of this series, this series is over in 5 games, and maybe even in 4 games. Warriors had an answer for everything the Cavs wanted to do, Warriors were one step ahead on Cleveland pretty much start to finish, total domination.

No?
GSW pressured LeBron into 8 turnovers, only one player has been forced into 8 turnovers in the Finals the past 30 years, that was LeBron James in the 2017 Finals,

If I were a Cavs fan, I'd hope their head coach LeBron James has a different game plan for game 2, because game 1 game plan was an epic fail.

Cavs fans can spin it any way they choose, but know this and know this well, Cleveland got their shit pushed back in their butt holes.

[TheMoneyShot]

T-Wizz might actually be right about something.

First thing ever in his life.

Sunday is the next game and it's in Golden State.. Damn they are milking and dragging this finals out.. They should play tonight or tomorrow.. Lot of time off between games now.. 3 days... Garbage!!!

Game 3 will tells us if the CAVS have a chance.

[JIBBBY]

True as the old saying goes it's all about who loses first on their home court.. Warriors can win the next game on Sunday and all they did is hold serve as they are expected to do..

Game 1 was a complete domination though.. Cavs really have no answer for KD, he made Love guarding him look stupid...

[homie1975]

Nba and nhl putting their games on alternate nights they know we slugs will watch every game then. We are their bitches

This series is over. If Twiz is wrong itll only be because GS won 4-0.
