NBA Finals 2015: Cavs vs Warriors

[I'mWithDan]

I'd much rather play Houston. With Beverly out, Kyrie would absolutely destroy Terry.

Howard would be a tough matchup around the rim but Josh Smith would get dominated by TT.

I think when you consider our advantages at PG, PF and having LeBron, I'd take my chances against the Rockets. They're not a very deep team either, which would be nice coming off a long series (Houston having to win in 7 at best).

Also, Howard has techs and flagrants built up. It's unlikely he could get through the finals without being suspended for a game.

I think Golden State is beatable but they're a much scarier team IMO.

Harden in the most important game of his career has 10 turnovers through 3 quarters. The record is 11.

If Harden doesn't have the late game turnover in game 2, this could potentially be a 3-2 series lead for Houston by winning tonight. I think GS is overrated.

I can't imagine being a Rockets fan and having to cheer for Terrance Jones.

That guy does more dumb, irrational things (like chuck ill advised 3's during a Warriors run) than any player I've seen.

Rockets are so incredibly sloppy both offensively and defensively. Love McHale as a motivator, but they are a stereotype of everything wrong with the Western Conference. This is why Pops dominated the West for over ten years.

Like I've been preaching for a week, I think the inexperience of GS is going to be a major disadvantage. When the pressure is on, it affects them. Tonight proved my point, I thought they were mentally fragile. Played horrible in a close out game at HOME, just got lucky the Rockets choked even harder.

They aren't ready for us.

James Harden 2-10 FG, 13 points, 12 turnovers. At least he set an NBA record right? Unreal meltdown. Is he stoned?

 

[Randolphkeys]

I love the Warriors, I do. My second favorite team for over 15 years. BUT...

If they have health problems, like a popped collarbone on Iggy... not mad. Not mad at all.

I want to see hack an iguana.

17-37 in the playoffs.

Turrible.

Andre Iguodala cannot shoot Free Throws. Something to keep in mind.

I honestly think we are VERY battle-tested. I don't think it's going to be a sweep (although, call me crazy for thinking that it's still a slim possibility), but the Warriors have no clue what they are about to face.

Also, Harden just guaranteed that he won't be in the MVP conversation next year.

Golden State will be a very formidable opponent, clearly. But the dominance of the West is greatly overstated. Houston was SO sloppy this series.. not disciplined at all. Same Cavs team wins two of the three games played in Oakland this series. I truly believe that.

We take this thing in six. Cannot wait for next week.
