Please tell me what history you are going off of before I respond to the rest of your comment
From reading some of these post the narrative seems to be, that it doesn't matter if the Cavs clean up their mistakes and start to play good ball, because G.S. beat them in game one while playing shitty by their standards. Correct me if that's not what you all are saying. I don't think the Cavs usually do shit in Oracle anyway. People acting like the history of these teams is that Cleveland rolls through the east and then they are swept and beat down by G.S. The Cavs have won games before, they can win again. G.S. beat them last time in the Regular season...but the Cavs beat them on Christmas. You are not speaking about me, if you think I don' t want to admit it's going to be hard as fuck to beat this team..even before they got K.D. But I don't think it's impossible. I'm pretty sure most people were saying it was impossible for them to come back last year, but they did. And I don' t hate G.S. I would like K.D.'s cotton soft ass to get a ring, since he's willing to do whatever to get it. I'm just down with LeBron from day one, and I don' t switch on who I root for just because they are going against a better team.

Funny thing to... if you analyze the games objectively and dont swing from LeBrons nuts you are a bandwagon GS fan?!?! Motherfuckers got the shit beat out of them and it was fucking hilarious to anybody who isnt a Cavs fan!

The thing that had me in tears was fools talking about the Cavs looked tired.... after damn near two weeks off?!?!?! Da Fuck! :lol:
The thing is I just would like to have a honest discussion, no rara shit from either side; that's why I respect bro @Mask because he tries to that; shout out!! But mofos in here talking about history:hmm:and what the Cavs did before like Harrison Barnes is still on the team:hmm::lol:; mofos in here saying LBJ owns KD because of the last finals he was in; yet KD average 30pts plus and shot 50% plus against a younger LBJ :hmm::smh:; sure Cavs can win anything possible but tell me how and why one thinks like that; i have ideas as to how but might be some better......

Yep... or, instead of acknowledging and discussing the parameters around THIS series, all fools want to talk about is last years series...

Best believe the minute GS loses a game jokers are gonna become chatterboxes tho

Ok i feel ya; no i don't think it's impossible for Cavs to win; i think it will be extremely hard though; they barely won last year and GS is not the same they are better; a lot better; but we have 3 games to go off of, that's it; in those games GS has completely dominated the Cavs; remember they were blowing them out on xmas; they committed like 10 turnovers most unforced in the 4th quarter alone; hell they committed 3 in the last min and Cavs barely won; so that tells me allot about how they have to play, as well as how they match up.........

Cavs not winning this series

None of that shit that happened last year matters

Pointless to even bring it up

Y'all niggas need to realize they replaced Harrison Barnes with Kevin Durant

If you haven't already let that sink in

I tried to come up with a logical way it could happen, short of injuries, or just mental colllapse ...

...and it just isn't adding up on any level.

I understand your point. But to me that falls under the same category as when people said, if Green hadn't hit Lebron in the nuts, G.S. would have another ring. That's just saying at their best they are a better team and will most likely win. We can't mix arguments about who's the better team, with what actually happened and what can happen again. G.S. is the better team. Everbody knows that. But they have fucked up royally before and can do it again. They don't always play up to their potential.

I feel ya; to expect GS to play not up to their potential for 4 games is kinda not real; but no one is talking about the elephant in the room; the Cavs defense is the issue; kyrie and love ain't hiding and LBJ has to guard someone; no more rover shit; and this will be there demise....

Honestly, history matters.

The first ring is haunted by injuries.. (although I think the Warriors woukd have won anyway)

The second series "The Suspension"

But if we keeping it real, the Refs stole game 3 with how they pilled 4 fouls on Curry the way they did.. You could tell the league DID NOT. Want a short series

No ref bull shit in game 3, no suspension in game 5 because I think it ends in a sweep.

Yep... And the Cavs are basically the same team that were really dominated last year and GS!?!?! You know...

Lue got some decisions to make....he said no lineup changes....but I think he has to play Jefferson and Shum way more. I'm calling for less Kyle and TT.

Unless he gonna run some different offensive sets which I doubt...

He CANNOT sit TT... he just HAS to play better. They have no one on their roster who brings what he brings when he plays his game

Crazy to me how people think Golden State's 2015 Finals victory was a fluke but last year's Cavs victory, in which the stars had to align to deliver Cleveland a championship, wasn't.

man I wanna see how the cavs play, cetrain players bring out the worse in because of matchups. Kevin love always plays like a bitch remember last year Jefferson was getting major mintues in the finals and love was a none factor. Green is to physical for him and really just takes him outta the game, Love has to play better in this match up for the cavs to put a fight.

How, normally we look at Love the reason why they don't win games....from what I saw that wasn't the case. So if you don't mind can you explain, if not no problem.
He had K lay switched on him on the block at least 8 times and got nothing and passed out of what should have been a mismatch

He's 6'10 K lay is 6'6

True maybe I'm being a little hard on dude but I can remember him playing good against the warriors
If TT can't play better they are in serious trouble; he's the only one outside of LBJ that plays defense; they can't go small and win against GS; i think Jefferson plays more but he's a liability on the offensive end and who will he guard?

Jefferson can shoot sum and finish at the rim...shit he can even put it on the floor from time to time...that's more that Korver can do and more than JR...


Like I said this comes down to the depth of Lue and his staff offensive knowledge and understanding of what to try to do...

Cavs losing game 2, then winning game 3 at home on Wed..


That happen last year...shit I think they lost last year by almost 30...


The coaching staff gotta have some other sets, they can run to get shots for the role players...
Adsuhm



That's the only way they gonna go past 4 games...


Unless we see that mad Lebron from Boston....which he gonna have to have 45pts, with 13 assist to players beside kyrie...

It wont matter what LBJ we see; If they dont play defense series will be short; and I dont care what happened last year, it has no bearing; and the Cavs keep giving GS sound bites; First Lue says that dumb shit; now JR says if we play our game not even the 96 bulls could beat us; GS cant beat us blah blah blah; well JR whats stopping you from playing your game:hmm:
