Cavs 2017 Championship Thread

[Blackout09]

I was hoping for a perfect record to meet the Warriors in the finals. Oh Well.

With the return of Durant, I believe in Warriors to the championship

Lebron played very poorly yesterday, Celtics won without Isaiah Thomas

As predicted, unfortunately this year Warriors with KD must win the Cavs in the final.

We played well for 2 1/2 quarters then fell asleep and blew a 21 point lead.
Credit goes to Boston they rallied and played good team basketball and hit a lot three in second half.
We were meant to loose this game last shot by Bradley rimmed out and then up in the air and bounced on the rim and went in with the spin very lucky but with they way we played in fourth quarter we probably deserved to loose.
This could be a huge game for Boston it shows they can win without IT maybe this could factor in into there future plans especially with what they do with their No.1 pick. If I was them I take Lonzo trade IT maybe get Butler and a young big.

 

[Blackout09]

I dont expect The Cavs to lose again. That blown lead, maybe they got too confident.

 

[99TERRANCE99]

They better be ready for the well rested warriors its going tobe fun when they finish boston off

 

[PHX]

Yup everybody looking forward to June 1.

odds are 15/1 on a straight up win for Boston the money line is set at +15.5.

Blow out or close game tonight?

Can Boston stay hot from deep?

Marcus Smart went 7/10 from deep he shot around 25% for the season. On a side note in 2K he is on of the players I usually leave wide open and he can't buy shot from deep.

Finally made it to June 1 after a week with no B-Ball
We are about 3 1/2 underdogs for tonight's game but we will this game pretty handily.

 

[Blackout09]

Game 1 Lets Go!!!!

Warriors will be champions as expected. No difficulties.

Game starts an hour earlier tonight.

We are in black tonight the same as last year's game 5 and 7 which we both won at Oracle.

We will see if this trend continues.

I believe we will get it done tonight on both ends and tie up the series.

Need huge game from LBJ to have any chance he needs to be dominant and control the pace.

Obviously take away from game 1 we need to take care of the ball better be better on the glass and we need production from the bench.

 

[PHX]

We played well first half. Looked a bit tired in second half maybe the pace was too much.

Seen enough in the first half to suggest that we will not just roll over this series.

Series switches to the Q on Wednesday looking forward to a victory then but for tonight props to GSW on win.

The Warriors are just too good. I thought this was gonna be a good series but it is turning out to be a one sided matchup. LeBron is still putting up pretty good numbers but it is not enough. I feel like he will get them at least one game in Cleveland but I dont see this going past six games.

 

[PHX]

Game 1:
Tristan 4reb
Steph 6reb
Game 2:
Tristan 4reb
Steph 10 reb

 

[Roccoa3]

Game 2 was v disappointing but I think Cavs have a chance to hold home court. Playing in Oracle is a huge advantage.

[cubons]

Comeback is real, but I`m not sure about that I think GSW can take it down in 5 games

 

[we will rock you]

difference in series this is year getting kd makes the warriors unstopable

Team tried hard played well but just could not hold on. Warriors made plays we just could not find the bottom of the basket in last 3 mins. Also some bone headed decisions by us in last minute. Still cannot understand our last plays especially leaving one of maybe the top 5 3 point shooters of all time on the bench when we down by 3.

 

[PHX]

Great First Half unstoppable offense by big 3.

Cavs have recorded the most points and threes (13) in a half in NBA Finals history.

 

[jop0411]

just rooting for it to go 6-7games!

 

[PHX]

We played well tonight especially on the offensive side. Most 3 pointers in an NBA Finals game just one short of tying our NBA record. Third most points in an NBA finals game too. So fantastic offensively and we were physical on the defensive end.

Only Durant showed up for the warriors no sight of Curry or Thompson we limited them to 29. For us to have any chance going forward we need to keep limiting them to have any chance.

Was not happy with officiating they were scared to make decisions I hope the league goes back and retroactively punish ZaZa and Draymond for their dirty plays. No obvious calls on three plays that should have been flagrant fouls not even a technical foul was given but when KD cries to the officials they call one Love.

I know for sure we got some momentum and a mental edge heading back to the Bay Area. In back of all the Warriors minds is 3-1 we will see if this affects them and the ability to close us out.

Go Cavs Go!!!! Most have given up on us but I still believe we can win.
