NBA Season 2016/17

[LaHug]

Think Warriors in 5, sadly. Warriors win first two, lose game 3, steal game 4 on the road and close at home. If it were the old 2-3-2 format, I'd have Warriors in 6 but just don't see them losing a home game and don't see them losing 2 in a row at any stage.

Cavs in 4.

i wish

So what are peoples tips for the finals.

Im going Warriors in 6 but im worried it might be 5.

If Cavs somehow win with no Warriors injuries and lebron is clearly the best player in the finals like he has been the last 2 years then im reading to call him the greatest of all time.

Funny, I'm in the MJ era being born in '82 and myself and tonnes of other people around my age are starting to think the same think.  Guy is a 1 in a lifetime player, I say 1 because he and MJ are totally different types of beasts.

I think Kyrie and Lebron will take Cavs to back to back, with Love chiming in for some decent numbers.

Warriors in 7 for me.

[JBs-Hawks]

Cavs in 6 or 7

[jvalles69]

Actually, a Cavs starting 5 player to get injured and Warriors to win.  ::)

[RiOtChEsS]

Cavs need to come out an steal game 1 to make this series a beauty

[plumdog millionaire]

Man it's so good to see that grind it out, slow, low scoring play in the playoffs

[RiOtChEsS]

Kyrie 4ptr :o

[RiOtChEsS]

glad this matchup eventuated, its like a non stop nba action highlight package

[RiOtChEsS]

Just sussing the schedule

Monday is the next game, then Thursday, Saturday, Tuesday, Friday, Monday

The gaps have never been so big, have they?

The Lebron Haters out in full force, never seen a guy criticized soo much for going 28 15 and 8 on 45% shooting.

This warriors team is all time stacked. 4 top 20 players is insane, i had warriors in 5 or 6, I reckon lebron is good enough to take a game or two off them but cant see anyone beating this team.

Cavs secondary players need to lift though. TT Korver Jr and Williams played 88 minutes combined for 3 points. 

[TomK]

Damn, that was hard to watch

[valkorum]

The takeaway from this game --- Cav's bench needs to step up or they are gone. 

The Cav's combined bench had 14 points (not counting Dahntay's 7 points in junk time) - this needs to be 30 - 40 points for them to have a chance.

LeBron, Love and Kyrie are the only ones who can hold their head high

LeBron - 28/15/8 (2 blocks but did have 8 turnovers as well)
Kyrie - 24/3/2
Love - 15/21 (3 blocks)
TT - 0/4 (terrible)
JR was even worse - 3 points and 2 turnovers. 
Deron - 0 points
Jefferson - 9/4
Shumpert - 5/5
Korver - 0 points



Everyone for GSW was chipping in and scoring while Durant and Steph were scoring at will.
Durant 33/8/8
Curry - 28/6/10
Green - 9/11
Zaza - 8/6
Klay - 6 points (gone cold in a finals.... again)
Iggy - 7 points
McGee - 4/5
Livingston - 2 points
Clark - 4 points
West - 2 points

Not counting McAdoo, McCaw and Barnes total of 5 points as that was also junk time

Cav's should be thankful that this wasn't a 40 point blowout

[Jay]

Yeah this is why from a basketball perspective I hated KD going to the Warriors. How will they lose when him and Steph play like they did today?
