A King Asks For Seconds & A Chef Obliges: Official Warriors vs. Cavs 2016 NBA FINALS Thread

[Kovu]

You know whats crazy tho? The Warriors were nowhere near playing their best basketball vs. OKC. And still came back from down 1-3. Scary.

 

[DlAMONDZ]

I think is a much better matchup for the Dubs

Cavs don't got the length or the athletes OKC had at every position

They aren't one of the goat rebounding teams either. OKC was like 3rd all time in rebounding differential this season

 

[G-Zeus]

And he will still give up alleys and putbacks

but bogut will be out of the paint...

they are wins and lose on both side.. but love on bogut is his best bet.

but couldn't drop a 3 pointer to save they lives in two games...and cavs was third this season second in post season

1 Oklahoma City .296 .787 .546 12.5 9.3 34.4 29.8 46.9 39.1 +7.8

not true.. they are playing as they did in the season.. but right now contacts are not called as often...and it benefits them and their opponents as hacks are often disregarded

Shump had Klay strapped in last year's finals but keep using smileys because you're a dikkriding follower who can't think for himself.

I'm not even a GS fan, fakkit. Keep it movin

Is true. Anyone who has watched them all season knows this. This series was basically won playing hero ball. Not the Warriors brand of basketball.

This year is different. Klay isn't going to allow a defender to lock him down. The Klay that disappeared in last season NBA Finals no longer exit. Shumpert is going to get lit up just like any other players that played for the Rockets, Blazers, and Thunder that defended Klay.

thats because
okc defended the switches and the PnR AND the passing lane brilliantly... everytime curry came out of the screen KD/ibaka was right there on him and also the move in screens were called... bogut and green had to do real screens...when Kerr said to trust the pass, he meant to pass even if OKC are causing turnovers, they would eventually get good shots.

 

[UserNameless]

Warriors in 6

You probably right. We're stuck with this bullshyt.

Cavs dont have Adams, and Ibaka. They don't have roberson, and they dont have kanter. The length was the issue for GSW.


You got guys here that really believe going small and getting into a shootout is the way to beat GSW.


Draymond might actually be useful this series

this.















Bron nerves gonna be shot during this series.

I know that. They defended it so well because of their length added on to their defensive prowess. So GS couldn't do all the things they're usually comfortable doing. They couldn't pass as much, get to the rim, or run fast breaks the same. Not their best basketball. Klay took advantage of all the attention Steph was given by the defense and torched them. Hero ball basically.

Cavs don't disappoint the east, humble these cocky nikkaz

listen man.. in professional sports. the offense takes what the defense gives them.. if the defense forces you to play hero ball.. if you successfully beat the defense playing hero ball.. you played your best..unless your where taking half court shots and blinded one... not playing your best would be to fail while being forced to play hero ball.
