You've got to get over this glass half empty thing. First the vote for 6th in our draft position on lotto night and now this.
Cavs might give the Dubs some early trouble ala Memphis but talent, depth, AND team cohesiveness are on GS side . Cleveland will win 2 games at most .
At the beginning of the playoffs, I didn't think anyone was beating the Warriors. Now, I'm not so sure about their mental makeup yet. Last night, they were tense and played nervous. Klay Thompson even admitted that after the game. This is the first time any of their players have been this far - I don't know what to expect from them in the finals. Also Cleveland has been playing great defense in the playoffs. Tristan Thompson seems to get every offensive rebound. Smith and Shumpert are hitting clutch threes. LeBron isn't shooting well, but he's still dominating games in the post and is always aggressive. He''s still not at a Jordan or even Bryant level mentally, but he's improved greatly since his choke jobs in 2010 and 2011. Rooting hard for the Dubs, they're definitely better on paper- but my head says Cavs in 6.
Klay Thompson was diagnosed with concussion. He took a very hard knee to the head from Ariza. When he returned, he was bleeding from his ear. He said he felt dizzy after the game. Now, Mychal Thompson said that Klay couldn't drive home last night and threw up a couple times when he got home. That sounds like a bad concussion. I'm no medical expert, but a week doesn't seem like enough rest to me. Because it's the finals though, he's most likely playing.
It all just depends on the person. Concussions are all really unique. He could wake up in two days and have absolutely no side effects. He could wake up in a week and still be dizzy.
That looked serious - knee to the head. Hopefully Klay will be ok for the Finals. I think they'll need him. It was a shame, too, because he was having a very nice game last night. He came out red hot. His foul situation was bad, granted.
Warriors in 6 but can see this going 7 with the ref helping the Cavs and let's all hope Dirtyvedova doesn't take someone out. Warriors have enough defenders to throw at Lebron and Kyrie. Green, Barnes, Iggy, Klay. Bogut and Ezeli are going to need to out rebound them as well. Hopefully the week off will allow Klay and Curry to get their heads on right.
I had a concussion once. I was knocked out for about 5 seconds. Didn't know who the president was, if I was married, or my way home. Threw up a few times and had the absolute worst headache ever. I was back playing football a week later. Like Real said, it depends on the person and I'm confident Klay is tougher than me. He'll be back 100%.
I've had probably a dozen concussions or more thanks to football. Never sat out a game although one of my buddies did. Not that I'm proud of it (although honestly I totally am) but football is a different vibe. I don't think basketball players have a quarter the toughness these days of football players. That being said, I think Klay will be alright. He's got a week to get it out of his system, I think he'll be just fine.
Curry, Thompson, Green, Barnes and a deep Warrior squad on one side. James...Smith...Irving...Dirty D on the other. I think this will be an entertaining series. Loads of scoring and both squads are good defensively. Oh and I like what pound sez...
In their tongue, he is Dellavedovahkiin. Leasternborn. Now this may seem tasteless: I was a basketballer like you, then I took a player to the knees.
The thing that sucks is LeBron can't lose either way. The Warriors are huge favorites. If the Cavs lose, people will just say the Warriors were the better team and they were supposed to win. If the Cavs win, LeBron carried a bunch of scrubs to an improbable championship.
Can't find the link now, but I read this morning that Sideshow Bob (who now looks like a 70s porn actor) could be activated in the series if need be.
Jimmy Durkin✔@Jimmy_Durkin Andrew Bogut today on coach Steve Kerr: "Whenever you get a head coach who’s not full of himself, it makes a huge difference." #Warriors Hand down, man down!
If they do, I'll give him credit. Seriously. Kyrie is at about 50% and Love is gone. I can't hate on LeBron if they win it. It's pretty much a one man wrecking crew. And I do NOT want to give Lebron credit, so come on Warriors. Do the world a favor and win.
