2017 NBA FINALS THREAD. PART III

[MVP]

Who was that who said KD couldn't have another all time great performance? 2 steals away from a 5x5 in the Finals. 

 

[Lovetohate3000]

if lebron saw golden state coming before he left miami he would be a warrior right now. 

 

[Olympus]

Guys if you want some of the TNT guys take, they are on NBA TV after ever game.

Yeah they got Kenny, Steve Smith and IT on right now.

WAYYYY better.

 

[leavemeglazzies]

 
That **** ain't going to stop him from getting his *** whooped in record fashion this time. 

Just like any other player in league history who had to go against a 73 win team with the second best player in the league stacked on top of it.

 

[junglejim]

Completely wrong. As the #1 option, Melo offers zero to no help. But as a 2nd and 3rd option on this current Cavs team? He'd absolutely help.

Melo would amplify the Cavs problem more. You aren't beating this team on the offensive end, you have to beat them on the defensive end.

 

[Master Zik]

As already said, no way the Cavs beat this Warriors team the next 4 out of 5 games.

No way.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Kyrie got lost multiple times defensively. Then offensively he had more shots than points.

JR was a foul machine, and got lost when he wasn't fouling. And that's the starting backcourt. Shump was Shump.

Korver got attacked (successfully) over and over basically every minute he was out there. Straight iso, pnr, whatever.

Then LeBron got scored on multiple times down the stretch. Looked completely gassed at numerous points in the game.

132 points.

They caught Kevin Love in PNR too.

 

[NickFolarin]

Where Sly and Geno?

 

[Lovetohate3000]

i still think cavs could win both home games. 

 

[kdslittlebro]

See you are still mad at KD for leaving OKC

If you wanna pull receipts I never blamed him for dipping. He had good reason

 

[P C H]

Also, I'll say it.

The Cavs got lucky as hell last year. If not for The Warriors imploding due to injuries and suspension, this would be back to back series of the Warriors smacking the Cavs.

This doesn't even mention that last season in the regular season they got smacked twice, this year in the regular season they got smacked once, and the other time the cavs had to come back from 16 down AT HOME.

The disparity between these two teams with and without KD has been great.

 

[Master Zik]

@ some of yall plotting and full on discussing Melo on the Cavs

NTC

 

[P C H]

Its hard to tell. I'd say they are pretty even in my opinion without KD in the picture.

Lol No did you see last year man?

These dudes was really scrapping tho

 

[picasso swerve]

Wonder what movie Russy was watching during this game.

Injuries and suspensions being the reason they lost last year .

It was just a classic choke job.

 

[Brownstone]

 

[j rain]

20 turnovers and they still dropped 132. Stupid.

 

[whywesteppin]

so okc without kd is still better than Cavs without LeBron.


also, Malone and GP did it first, then lebron/bosh, and now KD. all ***** moves. we can rank who was the biggest ***** (probably kd > LeBron > Malone), but they were all still ***** moves.


which is why the '04 Pistons, '14 Spurs, and '16 Cavs are legendary.

Why the 16 Cavs legendary? Bron stacked the deck then too and *****ed to get Draymond suspended. 

because we were told the 73-9 warriors are the greatest team of all-time and they had a 3-1 lead.

people were counting out LeBron and doubting his whole career. they were claiming curry was clutch.

we all saw what happened. LeBron and Kyrie delivered some of the best finals performances of our lifetimes.

Melo might as well retire if he's not planning on waiving it at this point 

 

[ballinsam23]

Melo would amplify the Cavs problem more. You aren't beating this team on the offensive end, you have to beat them on the defensive end.

When he's motivated he can play defense and switch when they need him to. They'll keep up much much better offensively than they are now.

 

[noblekane]

I can't with y'all ****** really tryna say KD and LeBron decisions are the same. If you gonna compare there's a comparison but it's not the same. ****** really look themselves in the mirror saying that **** is the same because y'all hate that man that bad

i think you cant see it because you hate kd for leaving

doesnt matter if the team was 82-0

both guys left their winning teams to go play with two superstars and better their chances at winning their first title

not hard to see that.

both lebron and kd were greats before they left their teams.

 

[gaiiige]

 

nba announced he's not coming to the podium

Take away a min of poor Warrior's hoop and a miracle 3 by Ray Allen and Lebby is downright turrible

 

[P C H]

Melo coming to the Clips anyway.
