2017 NBA FINALS THREAD. PART III

[mister friendly]

KD SLAPPED HIS BALLS ON THE TABLE

AND LEBRON IS. A ****OLD

Huh?!?

 

[krazyrodzilla]

From King James number 1 fan.....SKIP!!

LeBron needs 2 more assists and 2 more turnovers for a quadruple double.

 

[jc619er]

I have no idea why Warriors fans are hyped up, but that's what I want to see. I want everyone on the Warriors massively over confident. That's what killed them last year. This game should have been won by 40.  But Love with 21 rebounds but only made 4 shots. If his shots fall, look out. Tristan looked lost, but he focuses in, game over. Bron with 8 turnovers. Won't happen again. And only three people scored on the Cavs. If all those open shots start falling it's done. On the other hand it was literally only KD and Steph. Game 3 is the teller. Warriors did exactly what I figured they would, but not in the fashion I thought they would. They had a horrible game, and that's not because they were rusty. This should be a long series.

 

[P C H]

The NBA is better now.

The Warriors would smoke the 1990s Bulls, 1980 Lakers, those Pistons teams.

The only team I could see challenging them is the 2000s Lakers, 2014 Spurs or the 2012 Heat.

Right. I agree

And that's how it's supposed to be man, evolution.

 

[wavycrocket]

Yup, yup, yup, I was also told the warriors were the greatest team ever after 4 finals games last year. Let the hot takes sizzle a little.

Also, a lot of that blow out was due to God awful transition defensive. There was about 10 points where the Cavs didn't even try to stop the ball. Adjustments will be made, and these games will be a lot closer

Those WIDE open fast break buckets were ALL because of STEPH CURRY'S GRAVITY.....

Shorty had bout 5 assist without even touching the ball.

Run the wing hard....be a threat....get your TEAM open looks. That's basketball. Equivalent of A rim run that leads to a transition 3. The inverse

 

[spacedoodoo]

 
The Triangle would result in Harper, Jordan, Pippen, etc. shooting midrange jumpers over KD, Klay, Iggy, Shaun, etc.

Conversely, Steph Curry would be running circles around whichever big would be showing on PnR with him. How the Hell the bulls would stop a Steph / KD PnR hahahahaha

simple bruh.

rodman and pippen are just suplexing and elbowing KD/klay/steph when they drive!

Sports talk shows gonna be brazy tomorrow

 

[monstar]

Bulls vs Warriors, 90's or 80s rules...you think KD and Curry getting free passes to the rim? LMFAO

Bulls vs Warriors today's rules plus home court is the only chance GSW has.

You act like guys can't adjust and pull up from a midrange. U also discount the fact with a tech and research players are bigger stronger and faster then they were.

I bet you say and think lebron cudnt play in that era either huh smh.


Sit down

 

[wavycrocket]

True...because Lebron's role players weren't ready to play and didn't come ready for battle. Let's see how they respond in Game 2.

Bulls were always prepared to go to war in the Finals, from the starters all the way down to their 12th man.

I bet Lebron's teams have been blown out in the Finals alone more times than the Bulls have in their entire playoff run during MJ's career. 

Bron had 8 turnovers and shot 45% form the field though.....

 

[T0INE]

Don't y'all just love REAL team basketball?

Team defense
Passing
Cutting
Communication
Screening
Selflessness

We are witnesses to history. Just wait til the nuggets come up!

It is amazing to watch.

It's impressive how seamlessly KD has fit onto this Warriors team.

He's an even more dangerous player than he was before with his playmaking and defense which is downright scary.

He seems "liberated" on the Warriors.

Not taking a shot at rush per se but the Warriors movement has to be a breath of fresh air as opposed to that "my turn, your turn" offense that OKC had.

Rodman vs Horseface would look like

That WCW Nitro 90's NBA

 

[fluid hips]

Jalen Rose was hella annoying tonight. Doing too much.

 

[whiplashtw03]

 

 
Y'all been conditioned by today's game. It won't be long til the league shifts back to defensive intensity and increased physicality. Problem is, today's rules cater to high scoring games, more threes, less post up play, and the run n gun style.

Good for entertainment but too soft for wars and battles like we used to seeing.

The warriors are one of the greatest defensive teams the league has EVER seen. They're locking down teams in an era that invites scoring.

What do you think this GSW team would do to teams who are even more anemic to the 3pt line and shot more midrange jumpers?

Come on man be logical.

I never said the Bulls would sweep the Warriors. Bulls in 6 or 7. Completely logical my dude.

Who stops MJ?

Can KD withstand the mind games and physicality of Pippen and Rodman for a full 48?

How does Curry respond when MJ sticks him lockdown style and how does Curry retaliate when he gets knocked to the ground several times?

Does Coach Brown match the Zenmaster's adjustments?

What happens when Rodman entices Draymond into a couple technical fouls like he completely got in Mailman's head two years in a row?

Just because the Bulls weren't known as a three-point shooting team doesn't mean they wouldn't score against these Warriors. MJ alone would put three GSW starters in foul trouble damn near every game.

 

[kidkain]

Warriors did what they were supposed to in game 1. wont happen again in game 2, Durant and Curry wont score like that together again this series.
Its only game 1.

Next game,

Warriors did what they were suppose to do and defend home court now it's time for Cleveland to defend the land

 

[whywesteppin]

95-96 Bulls shot 40.3% from 3.

These Warriors shoot around 38%.

Let's reconsider your garbage hot take analyses and assumptions.

**** KD, **** Curry, **** Draymond.

 

[tireless drive]

No they were the by product of people not wanting to stop the in transition. Love and Thompson were awful getting back on d and lebron refused to step on front of the ball if it meant he would potentially get dunked on.

This warriors team had 42 points in the paint in the first half. Cmon now

 

[whiplashtw03]

95-96 Bulls shot 40.3% from 3.

These Warriors shoot around 39%.

Let's reconsider your garbage hot take analyses and assumptions.

**** KD, **** Curry, **** Draymond.

 

[ultralightbeam]

Don't see the Cavs giving up that many offensive boards again....and don't see GSW virtually having no TO's again.


Still going to be extremely tough to beat GSW nightly. :x

 

[thapointguy]

I change my vote. GSW in 3

 

[NickFolarin]

@Elpablo21  Got the updated list?

"when it comes to opening up a teams offense , curry has no equivalent"
