2018 NBA FINALS THREAD: WARRIORS WIN 3RD TITLE IN 4 SEASONS

[ady2glude707]

Its also like Zaza Javale and West arent playing this series. Cavs are going to play TT so the Warriors Cs will get run.

 

[DLF]

People forget wt 3shen JR Smith gets hit he can go for 4 straigh

Lebron can cover both harden and Paul's numbers

Ok well how about jeff green - pj tucker?

A combo of hill/smith/Clarkson can cover Gordon's stats


Point is everyone on the cavs roster is a wildcard and can show up at any given time pair that with lebron and this could he a dangerous team that no one takes seriously

 

[DLF]

That would be wise. I’d start Zaza

Its also like Zaza Javale and West arent playing this series. Cavs are going to play TT so the Warriors Cs will get run.

KD was by far the primary defender on Bron last finals. 77 possessions vs 19 for Iggy and 17 for Draymond.

Dudes dont watch ball forreal, they just skim through it.

Klay can switch on him too since he doesn't have Kyrie to guard anymore.

Newest Detail episode breaking down Bron and KD...guess the curse is on hold for one night.

Yup highly underrated aspect of this. Kyrie made Bron's job so much easier, there's going to be a lot more opportunity to help.

 

[dman14]

i just want to see scott foster work the gms to see what kind of tomfoolery he will pull

Ready for Lebby to move on from Cleveland so I’m hoping my 5 games prediction holds true

Tired of Cleveland, ready for something fresh

Ready for Lebby to join a different cast

But if lebrons peasants start hitting those kick out passes it will make it easier on him as well

We talking about KD that was getting cooked by air Gordon

Eric gordon is short and fast.

Swear you never hooped dawg. Tall dudes routinely get popped but shorter players. How you think Barea still flourishing. Speed is the advantage of shorter guys.

EG got wiggle with the rock too. Bron still dribbles like he has 2 left feet for hands.

Damn LeBron is gonna average 50-13-10 this series????

So you saying lebron has no handles ? Lol son has more handles than most SG/PG in this league

 

[vood99]

A bench doesn’t matter when you have 3 20ppg scorers. Stagger their minutes.

And it really doesn’t matter when the opposition doesn’t have a bench either

People forget that Draymond is also capable of 20ppg, as he was responsible for keeping GSW neck to neck in the Game 7 against the CAVS that they inevitably lost.

You put a double team on Curry and Durant and that leaves Klay and Green open. Cards are too heavily stacked against the CAVS with 4 top level starters on the team. LBJ will need his entire squad to play damn near out of their minds in order to even keep this close.

EG has one of the best first steps and pump fakes in the game, pure scorer. Nobody on Cavs can replicate what he did at ALL

What have these playoffs shown us on that front? The reliability of the peasants hitting those shots?

So you lose Iggy as another body and gain Klay, not much dropoff at all on that front.

Bro....Bron handles are GARBAGEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

 

[UnicornHunter]

Isn't that around the ball park he hits in the finals vs GS ? Minus your exgaerrated 50 points

 

[lynchpin33]

Paul Pierce had the same thoughts as me during the finals last year and hope to see it this year. They have to let Bron guard someone other that Durant -- Bron is getting his points/wearing himself out and he is guarding Durant who still getting his no matter how hard he is playing defense. He would be better guarding Draymond/Klay and working hard but not as hard as guarding KD.

They hit em when needed in Game 7 right

I seen kevin durant defend better on better players

Well you said he would put up the same numbers as Harden and CP3 combined...that’s what he’d need to do

 

[danikerhino]

LeBron doesn't have the elusiveness nor the quick first step that EC has. He doesn't even play like that.
