NBA Season 2014-2015

And Cavs are still underdogs in game 4 at $2.15!??  :o

It's not gonna be 3-1 man.

I beg to differ, but we'll see.  I called it from before the playoffs, Warriors need to know what it's like to lose the big dance before they can win it.  Cavs haven't been there recently, but Lebron has and he knows how to win at this level.

I've been wrong way too many times this series already, I should probably just take your word for it :P

I think it'll stick to the home games, but if Cavs happen to lose game 4 or 6 then I think Cavs win it in 7 in Oakland away.

Igoudala at $181 for Finals MVP ??? Has been their best player so far... If they manage to win the series, he might just be in with a chance.

Although, I think LeBron should get it no matter the result.

Reckon it will :p. 4-2 to the cavs I reckon!

[JBs-Hawks]

Whoever wins game 4 wins it all.

Thinking this as well. If gsw steal game 4. Then I think they should get up 4-3. If cavs get it yeowwww.

[Jay]

Whoever wins game 4 wins it all.

[jvalles69]

I still see Cavs winning regardless of who wins game 4, it'll just be in 6 or 7 games.

[My Chumps]

Whoever wins game 4 wins it all.

Sound about right.

that late run by the warriors could be detrimental to the issues they have, they seem to willing to just stick with the same strategy and hope it will work, it wont, if they adjust their mindset to that of Cleveland's fighting tooth and nail, this series will be amazing, they really do need to accept that its gonna be ugly, a battle of wills, be desperate.

Would you make any particular adjustments? I think they gotta start Iggy.

Iggy and Lee, his interior passing is crucial for shorter passes on tighter cuts to get Steph going early, if they dont start Iggy at least play Draymond at the 3 not the 4, its played out he cant hang with Thompson or LeBron, Lee is a terrific rebounder to go head to head with Thompson or Mozgov if they r going small, they need to give LeBron a different look, they need to double him immediately, post or perimeter, get the ball out of his hands and make others take the shots, he has adjusted since game 1, its easy pickings for him if they stick the same strategy, take a leaf out of the spurs handbook, he has a far weaker supporting cast atm

do you think if they played a 7 game series against clippers, spurs or cavs they would win all of them? I would put my money on them losing all 3.

they are good no doubt but they arent the best team in the NBA, not by a long way.

The are statistically a top 10 team of all time, they would smash the Spurs and Clippers. They should win the championship, anything less would be a disappointment. I would back them to win games 4 and 5 and wouldn't be surprised if they also took game 6.

Agreed. Iggy has to start, there's no way around it. I don't care that they've won like 80 games so far this season, they're down 2-1 and need to respond now - Barnes has shown nothing all series. Gotta pull the trigger.

Draymond still needs to play big minutes, they can't win without him. If I'm coaching, I go with Curry, Klay, Iggy, Green, Lee. But since Lee has barely been playing, he probably doesn't have the stamina to play big minutes - what he could do is get the GSW offense flowing early and try and put a stop to them playing from behind. Then I go to the Green at centre lineup ASAP, try and drag Mozgov away from the rim - he's a monster down there.

Also think Steph needs to be more selfish and start playing some ISO ball, rather than the usual flowing offense they've gone with all season, which is strange to say. I want to go down gunning with the best shooter ever taking shots if that's what has to happen.

Should be sweeping the second best team in the east missing 2 of their big 3 then.

Lack of physicality and chocking on the big stage

yeah for sure i can see that working as well, very stagnant coaching by Kerr, your right Steph waited too long to say my team needs me i need to get it going, gotta adopt a bit of that LeBron mentality that he is displaying, best series ive seen him play tactically and execution wise, he is carrying that whole team

Green starting at centre 8)
