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

[Spree At Last]

warriors will destroy that love/kyrie pnr "defense", lue will have to restrict love's minutes for this series to be winnable. hiding love on barnes won't work, they'll still keep attacking him. the cavs offensively are better than okc, but defensively okc was the toughest matchup for gs in the league. i'll take warriors in 6.

You can't keep bringing that point up. He is being put up there in all time company. When we look at that company they have 3 or more championships with more wins then losses in the finals. We cannot change the rules for Lebron because it is not fair to the past greats. If he wants to be respected like them then he is going to have to win one for Cleveland with his now fully healthy team. No more excuses!

Wilt, Jerry West, Baylor, and Dr. J aren't all time greats?

Goalpost move or totally new subject coming in 5...4...3...2

2 days between games

Friday night games

Why the hell did they change the Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday format?

In particular, some nonsense about how they didn't leave a terrible team with a terrible front office and a terrible coach. Most of these posters are Kobe stans, so it's a pointless exercise in replying to them.

You do realize there are two days between Thursday and Sunday right? They had Friday night games during the Coli Favorite NBA on NBC years. It only makes sense to have the 2 day breaks when they have to travel rather than just randomly for no reason (even though we will have one between games 1 and 2 ).

The Cavs have shot the ball well. Frye is on fire and Kyrie got his rhythm back after being inconsistent all regular season.
However! All the talk about how great of a 3 shooting team they are now and how they are all about the three now is somewhat exaggerated.
What people fail to mention and/or realize is that the Cavs played the Hawks who are all about packing the paint and do that to an unholy extent. More so than any other team in the league.
So than if you look at Cavs numbers:
Vs ATL: 19.3 3FG per game 38 3FG attempted per game
50.7 3% (!)

The rest of the playoffs vs TOR and DET: 12.5 - 31.3 39.9%

Still pretty good but GS aren't the Hawks. They are as good a team as there is at defending threes. Cleveland probably isn't gonna shoot 40%+ on threes with 35+ attempts

This series don't count




Lebron needs more help

'Bron got plenty of help from Curry only being 5% after spraining his knee 5 weeks ago.

Spoiler

 

[Rigby.]

Yes especially healthy each team will beat Cavs. Breh Cavs play in the East that shyt is not impressive at all I am sorry.

Man these mods ain't shyt, shutting down good Finals threads for garbage like this and letting nikkas like you post on this site

 

[Victim of Racism]

TT was getting bounds galore last year...Channing frye is 7 foot, K love is much more ready...Bron gonna get BOARDS...oh and uh Mozzy still Sittin court side ...size ain't a problem fam

Didn't you predict 'Bron would have to play off the ball more?

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

Lebron would be 2-5 or 2/7 if he loses. Not 2-7. 2-7 means he played in 9 finals

I posted about this Coli math in a different thread. I've seen this stupid shyt one too many times.

I don't know what the fukk nikkas are learning in school

No shyt, but now there are more 2 day breaks between games than 1 day breaks. I don't care about what makes sense I just don't wanna wait longer for games
