steph too cool bruh. and he has faith. don't underestimate that. I'm sure the homie will pray, and leave it in God's hands. That's really the best way to do anything. It takes the pressure off of you. Dude will be cool as the other side of the pillow. Warriors just have to play their game and they'll win. Cavs have to play better than their game. The wild west is where it goes down at b. this red dead redemption.

This is always my favorite sports go to argument. "All thanks to God  for getting us the win". You know because no one on the other team goes to church or prays or loves God. Yep only Steph on the Warriors and as long as he prays God knows what to do.

 

[HIM]

So if LeBron wins this series against a team who is 1000x better does he get any credit?

Damn, God is rooting for Steph. Bron has no chance.

Wonder what Ska's thoughts on this are.

Ummmm oh

2015 version of



"At the end of the day I get paid millions to play basketball so I'm a champion of life" I see you Dwight.

 

[EddieDoyers]

what are you even saying? english b. play without kerr?

I thought I was reading a Bravelude post for a second

"The stage is too big for some players"

Steph is only putting up 29/6/4/2 on 46%/44%/82% this postseason.

Nope, it'll switch to the Warriors were never that good they were frauds.

 

[SneakerProSr.]

I think the path the Warriors had through the West is one of the easiest in 10-15 years.

The West is better than the East by far but when you look at the teams they played and their health I don't think it was that tough.

 

[coldcity]

welp at least I was 1/2 right I called bulls/warriors finals at the start of the season

 

[onetrust]

So now they are PRETTY good. Yes Warriors have great defense, for sure, no one is denying that, but to say they're going to guard Lebron and hold him down and Curry is like Jesus walking on water is just silly. It's like when the sports world thought Joe Dumars could hold down MJ. We all know how that turned out.

I'm not saying they are going to hold Bron down. What i'm saying is I feel the Warriors have more pieces to contain Bron than the Cavs do to contain Steph.

Lol if LeBron wins, he'll get the credit.

But he's not winning though.

I still don't see how it's going longer than 5 games.

 

[bowb4me]

GS and ATL would both be frauds then. That would mean the whole league is fraud if my math is right. Ha ha ha

No, then it will become the Warriors are who they thought they were, an overrated soft jump-shooting team.

I'm glad someone finally sees this. Wish they would have met the Spurs at some point. Whereas the Cavs has to beat their two biggest competitors in the East and handled them nicely.

 

[EddieDoyers]

welp at least I was 1/2 right I called bulls/warriors finals at the start of the season

I was hoping Bulls/Spurs final

 

[mrswagtastic]

I think one thing that will play a factor is the different looks GS can throw at Bron. I think he was able to "settle" in a groove and find his cadence when he was matched up regularly with the same defender (Jimmy and Demarre). Despite poor shooting against Jimmy he still found ways to be effective. If GS can be smart about playing multiple guys on bron then I think they can throw him out of his comfort zone.

I'll never get over the fact that Boris gave Bron fits at times, it's not impossible to slow him down.
hoping for a Cavs victory though

 

[everysingletime]

Lol, same here bro.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

what are you even saying? english b. play without kerr?

srry, I was giving Franchise a hard time for saying "at the end of the day this is the NBA Finals" basically making it Cleveland's advantage over Golden State

I'm not saying they are going to hold Bron down. What i'm saying is I feel the Warriors have more pieces to contain Bron than the Cavs do to contain Steph.

I disagree because there are no players that exist to hold down either one

That's why they great.

clearly you missed what i was saying. I'm sure the cavs are praying also, it's not about whom God favors. It comes down to trusting in God. so you say 'I'll leave it up to you, let your will be done'. That relieves you of the pressure because you're trusting in your faith. When you trust in God, it makes every moment smaller, because you realize that if it is his will, nothing anybody can say or do will change the outcome he has already created. It simplifies things. Steph is very religious, I'm sure he's calm.

 

[bowb4me]

They are that. A soft, jump shooting team. Thing is though they might be the best soft jump shooting team we've ever seen.

Respect

Steph has been Godly. But let's see how the other Warriors fare with the best player on the planet on the other side, playing for all the marbles.

Lol they will throw different looks, that's their biggest strength, that a bunch of their guys are interchangeable on D so switching is a lot easier for them.

They're going to guard LeBron by committee and not rely on just one man. That's going away from how the team was built.

 

[mrswagtastic]

idk if GSW will have the O droughts like CHI and ATL did though

 

[freeze]

why wouldn't the stage be just as big for everybody on the cavs outside of bron? You guys talking inexperience. All the main players on cleveland outside of bron are finals virgins too

 

[cashbanks]

A washed up Iggy and bradon bass' lil brother aint gonna be able to hold LeBron
