how we know bron will show up?

He certainly did last year. This is pretty high stakes for KD, I'm just curious to see if he'll respond. @Gil Scott-Heroin to your quote, Steph hasn't exactly been stellar in the Finals so I wonder with him. I just as easily could be wrong, this series feels like such a toss up. KD is what the Dubs needed to beat a healthy Cavs squad but how will KD play at this stage? I'm interested to see.

Man I'm taking kyrie and bron in the clutch all day everyday. Kd about to turn to harden just like last year.

He ain't built for pressure.

I hope Kevin Love isn't the difference maker in the series:rudy:

He seems awfully comfortable in his role now...Steph has to show up this year..His output in The Finals has not matched up with his regular season exploits. He has played like an coaches decision All Star. If Kyrie has him on skates again this year...this is definitely a legacy defining series for him

If klay plays like he has been I can't see the warriors winning it. I just feel like Steph or KD will be in foul trouble fast.

Kyrie seems to have gotten hot at just the right time.

Love is either gonna continue to play well or just fall off

you might not like it, but he is though...him and the bench....bron, kyrie, kd, and steph cancel each other out for the most part...love gotta hold his own against green, which he normally doesnt do....all he has to do is be avg, get 18-20pts and 10 boards...that's it....
If he is showing he's still a bad matchup I hope Lue benches his ass. We can win with him on the bench. I just want him to focus on rebounds and D and hit open shots. I'll take less points if he does the other things to remain on the court.

They said the same shyt about lebron and he(Lebron) had a worse choke in the finals than KD did. Truth is we don't know until we see both of them at their full strength this series.

Cavs are the underdogs. No pressure on lebron :ehh:




After after game 2 ECF you started to see somewhat of a shift in narrative, media opinions and those of fans like ":patrice: I think Cavs actually might be winning this shyt, breh..."

IMMEDIATELY Bron comes out and, right in the middle of playing the best ball of his career and perhaps one of the greatest individual playoff runs in history...lays an egg for 6 straight quarters, with no explanation beyond "I didnt have it." This of course creates a bit of adversity and recalibrates the narrative closer to what it had been all along. Then he goes right back to breaking records and looking like a GOAT.

Personally I dont see that as any sort of coincidence or quirky fluke :mjpls:

I voted GSW in 4 against San Antonio, and I'm doing it again in this series, just for the simple fact that I wanna see a 16-0 postseason. I can see the Cavs getting a game, MAYBE two, but that's it. No way the Warriors are losing 4 times.

Of course I said the same thing last year (not a sweep, but the rest), but, well, they added Kevin FREAKING Durant. Plus Cleveland's defense isn't good enough. Teams been getting open shots and missing. Won't be that lucky against the Warriors. See ya in a week.
