Anybody else feel like The Cavs are going to run through the Warriors?

Cavs in 6

If Kawhi was healthy and the Spurs advanced, I'd take SA over CLE. But for some reason the Cavs have this sense of purpose to where they are trying to prove last finals was no fluke and they can dominate the Dubs on the boards and out shoot them from 3

They've beaten a bunch of injury plagued teams :manny:

Cavs running through them especially with the way LeBron is playing right now isn't that far-fetched
The Warriors have depth and size to match up with the Cavs. They are more talented. They also have Durant who is the best scorer of this generation. There is no way the Cavs is going to beat the Bay.

Beal has been better than Klay too and he couldn't get passed the celtics
Forgot about him

Dudes wanna call the East more trash or whatever, but the parity is simply closer on this side from 2 to wherever the 6ers finished at. There's a good chance team ball gets substantially better here with Miami and Philly having very promising features. The West has so many stars on garbage ass overrated squads. Like a reboot of the East in the 90s. Obviously they have by far the most talent, which helps more than anything, but GSW does combine star power with fantastic team schemes, which one has to appreciate. If Spurs weren't cheap fukks and paid this man Mike Conley and Kawhi didn't get hurt, I might be singing a different tune. Because with that system being ran, they live and die by trying to get role going that just aren't as cohesive as their predecessors. Spurs picked that apart perfectly, sorta similar to what they did to the heat defensively. That strategy is also dependent on at least 1 of the opposing stars mentally not being in it, and Klay was completely open to just not giving effort while Steph just wasn't good

Tl;dr team ball isn't good enough in the West to beat out the Warriors monolith, although they don't have the best system in conference

Yeah the flagrant had nothing to do with taking a swing with a closed fist at a guys package after he got away with kicking Steven Adams in the nuts the previous round :punkcomeon:

League office took the opportunity to help the Cavs period.. Bron needed a fukkin life line and he did everything he could to get it.. throwing dray on the floor then stepping over him and Dray swung on him.. Dubs up 3-1 , Bron got up in that press conference dry snitchin crying about Dray calling him a bytch.. and how the league should look into it.. clown shyt.. league suspends Dray for game 5 and Bogut ends up getting up off JR smith purposely falling into Boguts legs.. nobody want to talk about that shyt huh?

Foh man Bron a real sucks nikka for that shyt.. Dubs on a 16-0 tour.. when they sweep the Cavs I don't want to hear nothin

Umm...nah, they BOTH got techs but Dray had been building up numerous technicals across the playoffs you dumb ass.

Dray was on thin ice.

Who initiated the entire sequence of events in game 4? Bron by locking arms with Dray and throwing him in the floor then stepping over him in some disrespectful shyt so Dray swung on him and called him a bytch.. Dray got that tech by the league retroactively after Bron pointed it out.. The refs didn't give Dray a tech remember that

Nobody forced green to try punching a guy in the dikk. He knew he was on thin ice and one more flagrant foul would get him suspended. He's got nobody to blame for that but him. All the other shyt you brought up is 100% irrelevant.

these myths need to stop being spread.....green played in 6 outta 7 games....so he had 6 times to help his team win 4 games...they won 3 in 4, all they had to do was win 1 outta the last 2....him getting suspended in game 5 didnt cost the warriors the chip....

bogut was a role player.....and he got hurt in game 5, which meant they still had 2 chances to win 1 more game....a team that won 73 games, with the 2x mvp, the dpoy runner up, one of the best sg in the league, previous coach of the year, and that was deep as shyt wasnt dependent on a fukking role player...bogut getting hurt didnt cost the warriors the chip...

and before it gets mentioned: steph being 'hurt' didnt cost them either....he wasnt hurt when he had good games nor during warmups when he was doing 360s, he was only 'hurt' when he played like shyt...

kyrie balling, the cavs controlling the pace/slowing the warriors down, getting physical with them, and bron having one of the best finals performances ever cost the warriors the chip, plain and simple....

Steph wasn't 100%.. he couldn't get separation from Kevin Love of all people who Steph routinely bakes the shyt out of big men who try to guard him .. get out of here man

Cavs have that switch though

:mjgrin:

Plus KD works against their chemistry since it's his first year with them and he is the best player on the team trying to find that balance. This only matters against the Spurs and Cavs as they can exploit this.

Spurs were out working the Warriors and dictating pace before the Kawhi injury. The Cavs were doing much the same two years ago and only fell short bc two of their scorers were injured.

The Warriors need that fast pace where they can get easy buckets and transition threes.

What switch the Cavs have? Pacers, Raptors and now the celtics is them flipping a switch or playing some weak ass teams?

Portland better than the Pacers
Jazz better than the Raptors
SA better than the Celtics
