Cavs vs. Warriors -- 2017 NBA Finals

[2 For The Brew]

It will always Cleveland against the world. That will never change.

Not this time. Durant's bitch move West was not universally popular. There are a lot of fans who would love to see LeBron and Co. take GS down.

Majority saw the Warriors for what they really were during The Finals last year and wanted the Cavs to win by the end. Majority will want the Cavs to win again.

I still can't find it - where is the SportsNation poll map that showed about 2/3 of the country, and almost every state besides Cali, wanted the Cavs to win game 7, regardless of whom they thought would actually win?

People really do support the underdog, and Everytown USA vs. the Bay Area really had a David vs. Goliath feel off the court as well as on the court for a lot people, I think.

In VEGAS, it's still Cleveland against the world... Warriors -7.5...

95 games is really too many, to get to this point. The Cavs were so bored that they managed to lose 32 of them. It's really hard to even know how good the Cavs ARE.

Boston was the #1 seed for a reason - Cavaliers were bored playing all those meaningless games. Celtics were rewarded for winning more meaningless games by getting cremated three times in their own gym.

The geniuses at 538.com think they know - run meaningless games stats through your computer and pretend that means jackshit in the playoffs. So Cleveland had a 5.5% chance to win it all at the start of the playoffs? Whatever, stat guys.

We'll find out exactly how good the Cavaliers are in June. What we do know is how good LeBron and Kyrie are.

Only bad part about the finals, so fucking mad I have to watch those cunts for 4-7 games

It'll all be worth it to hear them whine after they lose their fourth game though

Are you kidding? Those entitled fucks will start whining after they lose ONE game to us...let alone four. They think winning a championship is their birthright at this point and are hoping for a sweep.

The sister looking nerd of Steph Curry; Reggie Miller just mention Steph being injured last year, and that if it wasn't for that they could be back-to-back champs.

I can't stand this overrated loser.

he also said if lov and irving weren't hurt the Cavs would be back to back chances and his point was that both teams were healthy this season including GS adding what eh thought was the 2nd best player in the world.

Reggie was genuinely excited about the 3rd consecutive time tied at 1-1.

and he said this all at once.. not sure how ya missed it.

Oh god. Barkley just cursed us.

He picked us last year.

He picked us last year too.

As stated above.

They whined like a whipped bitch after Durant didn't get the foul called at the end of the game in Cleveland this season.

On second thought, that's unfair. Kelly Olynyk is a whipped bitch and he didn't whine that much.

It will always Cleveland against the world. That will never change.

Someone needs to tell Lebron he is the underdog and 9 times out of 10 this warriors team wins... (piss him off he plays better pissed off).

 

[Simon]

It is literally the whole world/Cavs vs. Warriors. Let's go!!

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

All three of our Big 3 are playing better this year than they were last year at this point. They actually all may be playing the best ball of their careers.

That shouldn't be possible - we all saw the effect of LBJ and Wade on Bosh in Miami. And yet...they've somehow figured it out.

 

[Sebastian]

These issues will be important:

1) Kerr is not likely to be back for the Finals. He is the brain that makes that team work when they are playing near-peer adversaries. Mike Brown will not be able to make the changes he can, in-game or at halftime.

2) The Cavs won last year with Love concussed for six games. He may have come back but it takes weeks to properly heal and he was clearly not himself. If he continues to play well during the Finals it is almost like having another All-Star added to a championship team.

 

[Real Deal]

I was hearing on SiriusXM that it's 51-49 GS. I love those chances for a more physical team that also has the best player on the court.

It really comes down to Love, TT, JR/Korver, DWill vs Dray, Klay, Zaza/McGee, Livingston

Cavs have way more of a puncher's chance than assholes think. For one, Cavs are the better rebounding team. If Love plays like he is now then they easily have the better frontcourt. I'm also shocked Chuck and Shaq confidently picked Cavs with Durant not even scaring them.
