The Chef Hires A Servant To Stop The Kang From Ringing: Cavs vs Warriors III

[fifth column]

One could make the argument that the Dubs were still trying to find their rhythm around the time of the Christmas game.

Even then the Dubs were up by double digits late in the 4th and Cavs came back to squeak out the win but let these nikkas tell it

Don't let this rivalry distract you all from the fact that my wife is a money grubbing whore sent from the depths of hell

 

[Malik1time]

I'm getting all of it in now becuz this board gone crash like a muhfukka when it actually starts.

Last year game 7 the threads were legit 5pages were made In a minute.....post game was even worst

If the warriors win then it'sfrom the haters perspective (which is everyone other than GSW fans basically) but if the cavs lose then its as far as most fans are concerned. Regardless of the result, the warriors can't win. They lose and they are the biggest failure in nba history/ if not sporting history and if they win then it's meh as they are seen as the heavy favourites.

538 has Cavs as a 10% shot to win the Finals.

Even Trump's chances were three times higher than that.


Curry and Durant have the last three MVPs, but if they play well then Lebron and Kyrie can offset them.

Think about that for a second - you have to START by having your best two players offset the last couple MVPs combined.


The question is, how the hell does the rest of the lineup outscore the Warriors? Love always gets dominated by Green, JR ain't nowhere near Klay's league, Iggy is a better two-way player than anyone on the Cavs' bench, and Livingston is a bigger matchup problem than anyone the Cavs got. Any offensively focused lineup the Cavs go with has to include some combination of Deron, Korver, Frye, or Love, all guys who SUCK at defense, while almost everyone on the Warriors plays both ways.

For the Cavs to win, you have to have the offense firing on all cylinders (meaning Lebron and Kyrie combining for 60+ AND multiple other guys stepping up), and then you have to shut down at least two of Golden State's big four without someone off the bench making up for the gap.

How many times ya'all really think that's going to happen?


Someone predicting a Cavs win give me the scoring averages for the series. Tell me how many points you think each player is going to average that somehow ends up with Cleveland outscoring Golden State.

i dont know about each player avg, but i do think bron/kryie will avg 60-70, the rest of the team will avg 40-50, the cavs will slow the games down like the last couple years & hold the warriors to 90-110 pts....

you ask how many times i think that'll happen: 4 times, which is all they have to do....

 

[lutha]

Exactly!!!! If the Warriors are that stacked how the fukk is so many people predicting the Cavs will in? They can't use that excuse if they lose.

the warriors are stacked: they have the core from a 73 win team; they have the past 2 mvp winners in their physical prime; a coty winner; a coty winner filling in for the hurting coty winner; one of the best sg in the game; a dpoty candidate; and a nice bench....seriously, you and others gotta stop using the coli as a measuring stick...

as for using it as an excuse: that's cause people just dont wanna anyone else credit...if the cavs win, it's cause they played better....if the warriors win, it's cause they played better...that's it...

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

Good Lawd I want the Cavs win

Seeing KD in the tunnel crying to his mama

 

[lutha]

It took like game 6 or 7 just for Lue to give Mo and Dahntay some actual minutes. Cut Delly and Frye entirely. Never used Mozgov if I remember correctly either. Basically he doesn't adjust from his rotations too much unless it's extreme desperation

he made the biggest adj of playing rj for love...that along with the adjustments you said (mozgov was hurt, that's why he didnt play), whether you agree with how he did them or not, the cavs won the ring, so they worked...which goes along with me saying he's willing to make the adjs that are necessary....

So you say that even though the game is slowed down, you have Bron/Kyrie BOTH averaging 30+ AND the Cavs coming up with another 50 somewhere?

I'd really like to see where you get that extra 50 in a slowed-down game when you already have Bron/Kyrie taking 50-60 shots themselves.

Let's say Lebron gets 35 on 25 shots, Kyrie gets 30 on 25 shots, Love gets 15 on 12 shots, JR gets 10 on 10 shots, and everyone else combines for the other 25 on 25 shots...that's already 97 shots to get to the 115 kind of score you're talking about.

You think the Warriors are going to get to take damn near 100 shots without scoring 115 points against the porous-ass defense of the Cavs?

Nah I don't want to hear that shyt
Not on earth person I've met in real life that is watching this shyt has told me that Lebron isn't the favorite and that the cavs aren't on par with the warriors which I think is foolish but yeah

Only place a I hear that is espn and on here

I think it's 60/40 but the warriors if they get everyone going or even steph and kd aren't losijg

 

[lutha]

They're going to make a 30 for 30 on this one day.

especially if they meet a couple more times in the finals...this number 3...think they got a shot at meeting at least 3 more times...
