And There were Young Warriors against a King's Legacy...OFFICIAL CAVS VS. WARRIORS NBA FINALS Thread

[HoopLife]

kyrie goes down doing too much

lebron plays hard but ends up folding after he realizes his teammates arent battle tested

green shuts down thompson

the longer the games go the more the cavs fold up ... lebron will eventually have to throw in the towel and blame somebody

How do you shut down a hustle player

It should be close, but the Cavs HAVE to win that matchup if they want to win that series, mainly on the glass. The Cavs have not been turning the ball over much, and they have been crushing things on the glass which is how they're winning right now, they have to limit the amount of possessions the Warriors get and make every missed shot by them costly. The Cavs are playing at the slowest pace in the playoffs, and while the Warriors can play slow basketball they can't afford to do it and give up offensive boards. If the Cavs win the rebounding battle they could win the series, simply because they're basically playing possession basketball with a pretty good offense.

Also, If I'm the Cavs, I tell Mozgov not to step up when Bogut gets the ball in the middle and basically force him into shooting. I don't get why teams rotate over to him like he's an offensive threat, if he gets the ball at the foul line and starts to make a move to the rim all he's doing is waiting for the defender to collapse so he can kick it to the corner for a 3.

They did this to a fault with Gasol, so should have no problem doing it with Bogut.

What? That is an amazing stat, and shows how tought the Ws have had it

You face teams, not individual players. For all the talk about how the west was going to be a bloodbath Warriors actually had a pretty easy path imo.

It's funny, cause I think both teams that they have played sort of prepared them for one another.


Something's gotta give, neither team has lost the rebounding battle in the playoffs, and they're 1/2 for made 3s per game in the playoffs. Slowest pace vs one of the fastest, shyt is a real clash of styles despite the rosters being sort of similar.

I feel the Cavs will play Bogut like they did Noah. Noah plays exactly like Bogut honestly. They sagged off him heavy and forced him into turnovers

Told nikkas on all hip hop 4 years ago heat would beat okc... I literally predict every finals right, just saying.

Warriors too young.... Jr smith, shump, TT... They all want to win for they dad lebron... They are NOT losing this series


Bron > curry
Kyrie > Thompson
TT = green
Jr smith > Barnes

Cavs want the title more.

nikkas will just have to see it for thesyself to know what I already know. Its ok I'm used to it

How do you shut down a hustle player

doing exactly what draymond green does ... you just said noah plays exactly like bogut too bruh Lol

noah is one of the weakest offensive players of all time... regardless though its gonna be a good game, I just think people saying the warriors will freeze arent thinking about all the first time bums on Cavs too

"a kings legacy". You can't be king with more losses than wins.

And Bogut is a great offensive player now? I meant more in how they're both great passing centers

I just want to see a good series. I hope Klay is alright seeing that he has some concussion like symptoms now

Interestingly enough Warriors pace has been way slower in the playoffs (slightly faster than Cleveland in the regular season).

They've been 1/3 defending the 3 as well, though I guess some of that is due to variance, Hawks got a ton of great looks just couldn't hit anything and GS was overjoyed anytime Josh Smith even thought about shooting.

GS training staff f*cked up. Can't believe they let him back into that loud bright arena after taking a knee to the dome.

Yeah there's no way he should've been back on that court. Hopefully this doesn't mess him up long term because concussions ain't nothing to play with.
