truth on hold Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Howard never was the rightful heir to Shaqs thrown he was billed as. That said he is playing injured. The real question with Kerr's success is how much difference a coach makes? How would warriors and knicks seasons been different if he took the Knicks job?

26CornerBlitz Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Gutsy performance by LBJ tonight. @NBAonTNT .@Rachel__Nichols talked to the hero @KingJames after the Game 3 victory http://snpy.tv/1JOGkGX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Great win by cavs. But I can't help but think that whoever comes from the East is going to get demolished by the Warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Nice to see Houston finally playing with a sense of urgency tonight. Too late though. They can win this one but GS in 5. Edit: Steph Curry out after nasty fall, they are calling it a head contusion. They continue to replay it and it continues to look scary as !@#$. Thanks espn. Slo mo, even.

LB3 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Warriors should be thankful that the Cavs are going to have such a long layoff. Either way, I don't see them being able to hang with the Cavs. Too much defense and too much offense. Curry will find out who the real MVP is. Thompson playing out of his mind has been great, but Shumpert's ability to guard 1-3 extremely well is what made this team a juggernaut.

I hope you are right, as I would love to see LBJ get Cleveland a title. But GS is so ridiculously solid on both sides of the ball that I am giving them the edge.

Kirby Jackson Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I'm definitely cheering for the Cavs but I can't see them beating GS. The East is so ridiculously bad. That Atlanta team was awful regardless of their record. Cleveland is playing great but are not competing against the same level of competition. The Bulls (if healthy) are the only team in the East (besides the Cavs) that could compete in the west. I hope that Cleveland gets it done but I expect GS.

The Poojer Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I am going to keep saying it until I am definitively proven wrong...the golden state style of play(ie, the 3's) is not a sustainable model in the nba to win....one of these days, I am going to be proven right....but for the life of me, i don't know when that day will come, GS keeps winning and winning big, it's mind blowing the way they play day in and day out. I just don't see Cleveland and their style of play losing to Golden State and their style, but so far, GS has done jack **** to prove me wrong...should be a fun finals I'm definitely cheering for the Cavs but I can't see them beating GS.

I don't follow the NBA enough to agree or disagree with you. I think you are 100% right that this model wouldn't work at the college level, where the shooters aren't as good and there are no 7-game series. The thing is that GS isn't a good test case for you, because Curry is a ridiculous shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 and it's just not him...they have a stable full of ridiculous shooters and not only that, they frigging play defense...could be the new NBA way...

The defense was what was most shocking. Had no idea that they led the league in defense too. By the way, steve Kerr is like one of my all-time favorite players. Used to love him as a college player at Arizona. So cool to see him have this kind of success right out of the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Webber and Reggie Miller can be brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I said from mid season that GS will win it all. Having said that, I would love nothing more than Lebron to bring a championship to Cleveland CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB3 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Golden State has played better competition than the Cavs. That isn't the Cavs fault. They can only play the teams in front of them, and they've rolled. Golden State plays great small ball, I just think the Cavs are a bad matchup for them going small. IMO Irving-Shumpert-Swish-LeBron-Thompsom > Curry-Thompson-Barnes-Green-Bogut With Delly and Iggy being substituted for one on either side.
