The Official NBA Finals Thread: Game 7 - Cleveland Cavaliers are your 2016 NBA Champions

[phamo]

So Bron said in that post game interview that he rode Kyrie to the end.

Least he know and some on here who the real killer is in the land.

Bron would have def led them to a mental collapse if it hadn't been for Kyrie.

There was a stretch he did the patent drive to the lane to kick out to shump and Delly

Shouldn't the Land have been swept this mediocre GSW squad with the GM Bron led super team?

Nobody's 100% brah

Must have been nice for Cleveland to be missing Irving last year too. No excuses right

this guy has had it!

 

[junglejim]

What am I missing here?... According to this chart, draymond is taking a ton of contested threes and contested twos. Why is taking contested shots good?

He is contesting shots at a ridiculous rate, not taking shots......

 

[northoaklandfc]

He just dropped 38 in Game 4 tho with people proclaiming he's back to his MVP self.

That "he's injured" BS went out the window a long time ago

WHO said that?

That's ones of the problems people have here and why it's so hard to have rational discussion.

"We'll some idiot on my Facebook feed had this to say about it"

Who cares if you some random person claiming Steph 100 after putting up 7 points at the line with with less than 45 sec on the clock.

 

[Mr.Guy]

Cavs should trade love for Javale McGee

 

[onetrust]

As Warrior fan, i can't stand dudes making excuses for Steph. Stop it! Dude just didn't have a great game, or series, for that matter. Ain't even just about his shots. His damn passes have been damn near atrocious. Reminding me of the young rookie-second year Steph Curry. Couldn't stand those lazy passes he used to throw and is now going back to

Those are the shots he's contesting not shooting

Look how much of an outlier he is on that graphic. Pretty incredible

at GSW being a "mediocre" squad and the Cavs being a "Super Team."

I'm still amazed by that graphic. It's almost incomprehensible.

Nope, this man has

gs dont even need to change anything up. play the same way. it was pretty simple to see last night, gs missed uncontested shots. most of the cavs shots were contested. kyrie and lebron just hit everything. hand in they face , good defense . it was they night . . it didnt matter.when you hot you hot. 

game was a total anomaly those performances arent sustainable.

. basketball is a pretty simple game. gs missed shots , cavs made them. cavs won. 

 

[onetrust]

Nope, this man has

Seriously. It's becoming annoying whenever Steph has one bad game like dude's not allowed to just have one bad game. EVERYONE has a bad game. Doesn't mean they are playing injured, etc. Just wasn't their night.

 

[monstar]

harrison barnes is frustrating to watch too now that i think about it. the wide open shots dude was missing... man smh. if u know the 3 aint falling, stop shooting it. take a step in, or pump fake on the closeout and get the easy blow by. dude would shoot and was waiting to see what would happen. like, there was 0 confidence there. dude is soooooo inconsistent he really needs to work on that this summer

I agree with this , but there was a play in the corner where he had a baseline 3 pump faked and tried to drive on jr and it just looked really bad

sad part is, this is his best series this playoffs smh

 

[sb]

dis dude myrie outchea folding dudes like his laundry

dray byke crazy how if the gsw win, he would have 89 wins in a season :x

lol i never made the excuses for his poor play tho.


"curry is def struggling but you guys cant tell me that you dont see all his movements at 60%. my man can barely dribble when TT is guarding him."

lebron has had 3 bad games this series by his standards. one good one and a great one last night. if cavs were to come back and win this series kyrie would probably deserve mvp up to this point. 

curry by his standards was really bad last night but he still had 25-6-4 or something like that. 

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Which is just to say what we all know... Without his 3's, he is a mediocre player.

This is categorically false.

Literally none of these suggestions are good.

Misses some wide open 3's...so he should stop shooting it and make it easier on the opposing defense by removing himself as a threat?

Misses some wide open 3's...so he should take a step in for a presumably better contested long 2?

Misses some wide open 3's...so he should sit there & wait for a defender to close out? And THEN pump fake, get the defender to bite, then waltz to the hoop for an "easy blow by". While the rest of the Cavs are apparently on the other side of the court or something, I'm not sure.

This might blow your mind, but...If Harrison Barnes is wide open, at the 3 point line, and has the ball...

...he should take that shot. It's not complicated.

Last years finals against the cavs, the MVP choices were bron or iggy. This year, it's probably draymond (at least before he got suspended). Everybody has bad games, but steph had played substandard for two straight finals.

like i said earlier, i think his performances have shown that curry will age gracefully in the league when his swiftness won't be at an elite level.

 

[toodope91]

Like I said before... The fact the he even contributes ANYTHING on the offensive end with that kind of defensive effort is impressive in and of itself

at GSW being a "mediocre" squad and the Cavs being a "Super Team."

That's how people on here see GSW tho apparently 

On paper tho cavs supposed to be lit

 

[rolaholic]

I don't know what thread you've been reading my dude but it's not this one

 

[krazyrodzilla]

SCREAMING A SMITH was saying on first take today that soon as the finals are over Curry will have surgery.

 

[friscostylez]

when a team acquired two max players through trade and FA, the team should be looked at as a super team IMO.

Don't say that around Bron fans, they'll insist he's playing with a garbage team so when he inevitably loses it isn't his fault.
