2017 NBA FINALS THREAD. PART III

[junglejim]

last year

They were 10th in defensive rating last year.  Try again.

 

[ballinsam23]

You gotta be top 10 in offense and defense. We've been known this for years.

But this is the greatest offensive team ever. Put them against some of the best defensive teams of the past 20 years and those defensive teams would get washed.

 

[bayarea23]

The Warriors have arguably the top 3 offensive players in the game though. How do you match that. KD, Steph and Klay are liable at any moment to go off for a 100. Who else is that potent offensively?

Lebron just have to average 50 ppg triple double while shooting 70% fg and 60% from 3....

I wasn't trying, they weren't 10th...

 

[junglejim]

Dwill, Korver, JR, Frye play defense?

Maybe if you watched 1 knick game you'd see how trash Rose is and how he plays zero defense too. Combine that with running a terrible offensive system. There's a lot of problems with the Knicks that stem way past Melo.

 
NO AND THAT IS THE ******* PROBLEM GUY.......

The cavs were damn near last in the league in defense this year in the second half of the year.  It wont matter how many points you score if you give up 1.1 points for every point you score.

Bro wtf are you saying? Do you realize the Cavs play best when those guys are on the floor and not TT?

They'd have a better chance than the cavs though, and that's the point.

Who wins and how close this series would be?

Bulls 90 vs This Warriors team

Lakers Showtime vs This Warriors team

Your turn

 

[ballinsam23]

junglejim My point is that the Cavs play best when their best interior defender and rebounder is not on the court and is replaced with a scorer/shooter.

bayarea23 My pops said the only team that can score this fast and in quick spurts was the 90s Bulls. I wasnt alive during the showtime Lakers days so no idea.

[freeze]

Im probably the only person in the world not sold on kyrie.......maybe because its a fact that before lebron he was below .400

nah. dude overrated as hell. fun to watch in spurts, but 1 dimensional if ever there was a player. really streaky these days.

 

[MVP]

LeBron on if Warriors+KD is fair: "Is it fair the NY Yankees in the 90s added piece after piece? Is it fair the Cowboys added Deion Sanders?

This dude man...

 

[QU!K]

You guys are the ones calling Kyrie a future HOFer to discredit Lebron though

 

[ballinsam23]

Unless the Cavs somehow add more talent to this current team, no one is beating the Warriors barring an injury.

The 2010s was a decade of ther superteams. Its best for the rest of the league to build for the 2020s.

Against the Warriors I don't see how that's their best lineup. The Warriors still would have mismatches no matter what lineup the Cavs put out.


90's Bulls wasn't deep enough to score like that, showtime Lakers was though.

Link?

Is Kyrie even a Top 15 player in the league?

It's a quote from LeBron. And considering he's been doing the same to the East for 7 years, pretty damn ironic.

 

[D StaXX]

The Lakers would have a better chance than the Bulls imo.
Don't think either would win a series though.

 

[QU!K]

Again y'all were out here saying Love and Kyrie are future HOFers YESTERDAY.

Your turn

well damb they didn't seem to have a top defense last year. I am surprised, woulda bet money they were worse than that..

 

[SneakerProSr.]

If the Warriors do actually run the league for the next 4 seasons and win say 4 or 5 straight. There will be lockout and rules put in place to stop this from happening ever again.

The ratings were high this year because people thought LeBron had a chance.

This same matchup next year and no one is watching

This dude man...

Is it fair that Miami added Lebron & Bosh, is it fair that Cle added Lebron & Love
