2015-2016 NBA playoff edition: Finals - Cavs vs Warriors - Cavs win 4-3

[gene cisco]

Kyrie's confidence is going to go through the roof. He really played as good as you could have imagined him playing. He was great... it would have been noted even more if Lebron wasn't in god-mode.

Love finally stopped "watching" and starting playing in game 7. Often, on the switches.. on rebounds, etc.. he was just watching man.. literally looking at the ball coming off the rim and not trying to get rebounds..shit was pathetic but he came to play in game 7..

If Kyrie can continue to play like that it takes a load off of lebron... but he can't be expected to lead all players in every damn category in order to get a win.... gonna be interesting to see if they just leave things alone since they won it... but can't pay Love max money for that type of production.. he's gotta step up..

Kyrie has to be feeling great. He owned Steph. Now what needs to happen is that someone talks him out of playing for US basketball. If he plays, I don't like the Cavs chances next year. Kyrie is too fragile for that shit.

He is only 23, but he showed he is big time these playoffs. Facing a game 7 of that magnitude and playing like he played? Shit. It doesn't get any more hardcore than that. He's a playoff OG now. lol.

 

[lazarus]

Nah, they played differently in the finals after game 4; it likes they believe their own hype and also stop running their offense; dont know why though; and I just never seen them all year missed as many open shots as they missed in the finals...

thats what happens when you get shook

 

[lazarus]

that about sums it up.

also lue did a masterful job calling timeouts.

damn.. I keep forgetting how young that dude is.

And yeah.. he needs to sit his ass down somewhere. He doesn't need to put any extra mileage on his body.

I'll give him credit for that. I mentioned that during one of the games. He never allowed one of those massive Warriors' runs to happen where they score 12-13 points straight and before you know it, the game is out of reach. It seems like if they scored 7-8 unanswered points, Lue was calling a timeout to break that momentum.

Maybe maybe not; I dont know what was wrong with them; I doubt it was shookness but who knows; All I know is that shit was wierd; but like I said ive seen LBJ, Isiah, Bird, Magic, Drexler, Barkley, Ewing, Payton, Pierce, Wade, Shaq, Kobe, Malone, Duncan, etc etc etc make bone head plays, stupid decisions, choke, and/or play bad in the finals; it happens...

thats one thing kerr didnt do; he should have been calling more time outs to break the cavs runs; but thats the only thing I will give Lue credit for; fuck him!!!!

 

[Mask]

Love can play well against other teams, hes just useless against GS; will see what happens though..

Right just one team in the league scheme greatly and is as lethal shooting and nice defenders


Guess which team is ?

no team

 

[D-TOWN REP]

Isnt it crazy and bizarre how many open jumpers that they miss; not just last night but the entire series; shit is baffling...

Yeah it's called choking fam

 

[Day_Carver]

Yeah it's called choking fam

true true

Kerr seemed to do that early in the series. Game 2 the Cavs looked out of it, had two back to back baskets, that fool killed that brief momentum ASAP.

Guess the game flow was always there. The cavs was in control but never looked like they was gonna blow it open. Shum gets a four point play, but comes right back and gives up a 3 point play.

Man can't believe this shit, happened so soon

 

[gene cisco]

No. When the bench shot 70 percent, cats told me that folks at 24/7 fitness could make those shots. Shit. Didn't matter if they were contested. Remember all those contested looks the bench hit in game 1? It was because they were PROFESSIONALS.

Splash brothers did choke. Bench saved them one game. Green almost made the save in game 7.

 

[jack walsh13]

Cleveland celebrating.

 

[jack walsh13]

Browns fans having a good time and smiling.

 

[SpiritualPorn]

Damn. Didn't know you were A Miami fan. Yeah, you guys got a couple rings out the deal. It just think all involved handled the situation poorly. That Decision special was just the ultimate slap in the face. Had he just left, no letter. The Decision and the Letter made both of them look bad for a while.

Shit, remember before he left Miami and Riley went in on him? Riley got a pass though.

Riley is full of shit
He takes LeBron right after the season ended.
Fucker was saying Bron was a crybaby basically.
When I first heard the news he went back I was pissed. Then as I thought about it, I completely understood.
It was good because I finally understood how Cleveland fans felt.
The man has lived up to what is expected and more.

 

[GAMETHEORY]

 

[SpiritualPorn]

didn't even know this sh*t even existed till this afternoon at the barbershop

I hope they turned that shit of quick.
White people talking sports get kind of racist shady at times.
It's like gossiping nerds talking about the popular athletes in school

 

[Big Tex]

You also saw all of those players consistently play great in the finals. You have not seen that with Steph.

 

[SpiritualPorn]

We still have baseball my man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was about to say

How come we don't like baseball as much?

 

[SpiritualPorn]

Yeah, Lebron is still writing his legacy down. Had to end that 'he isn't the best player' anymore talk. Making a chip dynasty in Cleveland would go a long way with GOAT arguments. Cavs need to make some offseason moves though. Moving Love for some pieces would make this team better.

I think they should keep Love
The man was a beast the whole playoffs
The Finals was just a bad match-up
Given a full season under Lue they can find a way to work him in

 

[SpiritualPorn]

I stated it all playoff. In fact, Bron could've lost the chip this year, won it next year and would still be on pace with MJ. He didnt get ring #4 til he was 33 and won his 6th at age 35. Of course his fans wont give you that "context" and will pretend he had 6 by now.

Jordan is my favorite player
I'm biased though
I'm from Chicago originally (till I moved to Miami thank goodness)
Jordan took the Dr. J type game to the next level. Jordan is the blueprint for today's modern athlete add far as marketing, and winning.
That being said, I always said that if I had to start a team I would choose Magic first.
Magic stepped in at center in his rookie year and won a championship. That's some crazy shit.
LeBron to me is the evolution of basketball. Can play like Magic or Jordan on any given night.
Steph is the evolution as well.
He will make adjustments and, barring injury, should get better.
All in all, one of the best seasons I can remember.

 

[SpiritualPorn]

and Dirk doesn't just settle for long jumpers. He'll get good shots. Ive always felt dude was underappreciated.

When they beat the Heat Dork hit some cold blooded Ass game clinching shots.
They really should have won the first time they played the Heat.
Very bad coaching from Avery Johnson.
Very Bad

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

You think LBJ will catch him

...anything is possible I guess

 

[Amajorfucup]

I think what fucked up the Warriors down the stretch was not having someone to play the PG to create easy offense...

Huh?

 

[Rudey]

Your comparison is biased though. Because you are only using age to prove your point. Seasons played show that Jordan is the more accomplished player.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Man can't believe this shit, happened so soon

Yep. Year two just like in Miami... I thought he would get it done but no sooner than year 3... after they tweaked the roster and ran off Love.

 

[AllUniverse17]

James aint going nowhere.

But he will leave the rumors out there until the Cavs front office makes the moves he wants them to make.

 

[stretchwallz]

 

[SpiritualPorn]

The conspiracy theorist in me has the Cavs.
They are trying to usher in Trump
Convention in Cleveland
Vegas cash in on the GSW bets

Bumping this
Don't be surprised if Trump wins

 

[SpiritualPorn]

Damn
