Ryan Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Quote ONCE AGAIN LEBRON DOESN'T SHOW UP AND SHOWS THE KIND OF QUITTING LITTLE BITCH BOY HE IS AND THE CAVALIERS NEARLY LOSE, LUCKILY KYRIE IRVING, THE REAL SUPERSTAR, SAVED THEM FROM BEING BLOWN OUT AT THE LAST SECOND BY PROVING THE EARTH IS INDEED FLAT! My hottest of all takes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 This is where Boston missed Thomas but the argument can be made that since he's a defensive liability maybe Boston wouldn't have been that close anyway. It's an issue moving forward. He's the only guy on the team that can really get it going on his own. They had great ball movement in the first half but after Kyrie goes bonkers, Cleveland's D starts getting up on them and nobody could make those baskets down the stretch that kill runs. Thomas is great at that. You desperately need a bucket and he'll hit a contested three or he'll drive and get to the line or he'll break down the D and kick it to Bradley or Crowder. Oh well. Boston wasn't going to win this series but they've made Cleveland work and you saw tonight why it's so damn important to kick a team when they are down. Yes, Kyrie went off and now Cleveland has the commanding lead but lost in that is Kyrie had to play his ass off and wound up tweaking his ankle. I think he'll be fine but now he has to go back to Boston and play in a close out game that shouldn't be happening. Meanwhile, GSW will be very well rested.

Burgundy LaRue Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Would it have been ideal for Cleveland to have swept Boston? Yeah. But let's not act as if they'll have to play Golden State the next night. Finish the Celtics on Thursday, and they have a week before the Finals.

Niners Fan in CT Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 No surprises here, Boston was never really in the game. Cavs win 4-1. Now we head to the 3rd installment of Cavs/Warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MJ_ Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Thrice in a Lifetime. This is the Warriors Finals to lose but I hope the Cavs grab one of the 1st two to make things interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 This is 100% true, isn't it? Quote Pig Bumpkin @bigpumpkin4real 13 hours agoLeBron hates Boston so much he tanked a game just so a bunch of people would shell out $280 to watch another beating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Racist graffiti on LeBron's LA home, so yeah, there's that. Don't tell me it's just Golden State fans either, that's nowhere near the Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 It seems that everyone DVR'd the game. I won't spoil the game. SPOILER: One team won by 22 points despite one of their best shooters having a porous night on the offensive side of the ball to say the least.

Ryan Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 I tuned in for 2 minutes to hear one of the announcers whining about ESPN only giving them a 7% chance for Cleveland to win the series. Of course, not realizing that was based on simulations of the series being played like thousands of times. I think the Vegas odds are a bit higher.

Listening to Mark Jackson and SVG is easily one of my least favorite parts of the Finals. I fell asleep at halftime last night and it doesn't sound like I missed much.

Niners Fan in CT Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I watched into the 3rd quarter but my god was Cleveland sloppy. Credit to GSW defense also. Both teams shot poorly. I didn't think it was a good game from either side but it shows you, Cavs have to be perfect to win these games and they were far from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Cleveland can't just go out and win a game. Execution and effort won't do it. They need Golden State to lose a game. This was scary tonight. Durant is almost totally cancelling out the LeBron factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 If Cleveland doesn't figure out how to not get blown out in the 2nd half, it's not going back to Oakland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I think Cleveland will have a game at home where they make like 18 threes and pull it out. So they go back down 3-1 and lose game 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not expecting Cleveland to outplay them at this point, I'm thinking Cleveland will hit a bunch of threes and the Warriors will miss some open shots.
