devour? cmon now...I mean the cavs have been looking good but who have they had to defend? lets see them continue this historic scoring spree while also stopping the warriors offense. I think it will be a close series, but I'm going GS (I cant bare another summer of LeBron all over my tv)
Yeah I'm not sure how you can watch the Warriors crushing a more talented version and better coached version of the C Bags and think the Cavs are going to walk all over the Warriors. It's going to be a good series and the Warriors are going to win. They're a lot more talented than the Cavs.
Maybe saying devoured took it too far, but the Cavs look very focused. The Warriors a lot of times can be complacent and steer away from their game plan which often gets them in a hole. Kind of like what happened in game one vs. San Antonio. Then you have the games one of the big 3 are ice cold, that can be a factor. LeBron and the Cavs are playing some of the best post season basketball I haven't seen in a long time. Don't know if the Warriors can contain that.
Durant once bristled at the notion going about that he is second best to James. He will have his chance. Agree that failure is not an option...
Lebron is playing GREAT and free with the pressure of bringing a title to CLE off his shoulders . On the other side , Klay is nowhere to be found shooting wise in these playoffs and Curry always been very up and down against the Cavs . I think the loss of Bogut is underrated by many medias/fans too. I want an EPIC Finals !
GS should have swept Cleveland last year so I'm not confident about their chances. Ill believe it when I see it.
Source - ESPN. As a basketball fan nothing upsets me more than being robbed of a potential great series maybe even all time great WCF matchup due to an injury to a superstar. I don't know that the Spurs would've beat the Warriors in a seven game series even with a healthy Kawhi, but considering they were up 20 until he went down at the very least it would've been a highly competitive and likely seven game series.
Who is guarding LeBron in this series? A scrub defender leads to people like Paul Pierce being Finals MVP and people calling LeBron the GOAT. We'll see how things end up after the Finals. LeBron will have a challenge in Draymond and AI. Sure, he'll get his, but he'll exert a lot more energy on offense. And he'll have to play defense on KD.
http://www.nba.com/C Bags/news/press-052017-isaiah-thomas-ruled-out-for-game-3/ Not that it makes a difference if he was playing or not this series, but still, how does this manage to happen to LeBron seemingly every year? Not only does he have zero rivals in the league, whatever star or key player the other team has seems to go down in series he's in. So what will the C Bags lose by now, 60? 70?
Kawhi Leonard is out in game 3 Zaza is out (karma maybe?) And andre iguodala probably isn't playing either Isaiah Thomas out, but they were getting beat down when he was playing so that injury doesn't make a bit of difference. What a depleted playoffs. There's really nothing to be hype about.
Are you trashing Vlad Rad, the immortal? And Boobie Gibson vs Tony Parker? Or Robbie Reid vs Cornbread Maxwell? lol.
that's too bad for boston with a healthy IT they could have at least stretched this series out to 4 games
Nah he wouldn't have made any difference. I expect them to quit after game 3. Pathetic. And fun at the same time .....
