This was more of a really bad spot for the Warriors

Front in of a back to back and a 3 in 4 night situation (they played in Washington the Tuesday before that Thursday game and in Toronto the day after)......halfway through a 6 game road trip, where 10 out of there last 11 on the road.

Playoffs are different in that teams have time to game plan for the best player on the court.......

You simply can't put too much (if any) emphasis on that Thursday February 26th game between the Cavs and Warriors.

While there is truth here we can't completely dismiss that game for a couple of reasons.

1. Bron came out super aggressive in the post. The Warriors won't be getting the benefit of "passive, feel it out" Bron.
2. Nobody could do shyt with him. We've seen indications that Kawhi or Butler could make Lebron work. We saw no such indication that anybody on that roster can do shyt with Bron.

All true. But overall I just think this young Cavs team is better. Overall. They can consistently win with what they have. I think Lebron has a better chemistry with his team mates now vs. Miami.

I don't see GS winning though. Don't expect a sweep by no means, but I just don't think GS will win the series.
Sounds like you ain't been watching too many games then. :mjpls:

We really not gonna talk about the fact that Houston had chances to take several games from GSW but were absolutely dodo?

They had the chance to take AT LEAST 1 of the away games but flopped. Not to mentionthat failure in game 5.
We really not gonna talk about the fact Chicago (a team that was going through turmoil with a disconnect between all parties) had chances to take games from Cleveland?

Miss me with ALL that nonsense you talkin, you know why the Warriors won those games? Cause dem boys find a way to get the job done. TIME AND TIME AGAIN. We saw them do it 67 times this season. We saw them do it 39 out of 41 times at home. For all this inexperience, terryclothness and if-their-jumpshots-aint-falling rhetoric that yall keep trying to push - as if you haven't already tried pushing relentlessly all throughout the regular season and playoffs and it's gone nowhere - you still come back tryna do the same thing.

We have 3 series of Lebron being inefficient to disregard that 1 game

not defensively

Not true. For starters those guys are actually closer to Lebron defensively than they are offensively. Kyrie is capable of scoring with the best of them and making Steph work on the other end. He can drop 30-40 on him just like Steph can do it to him.

Notice I said "aggressive" and "in the post".
