NBA Finals 2015: Cavs vs Warriors

[susztermatt]

My prediction is Cavs in 6, Blatt will come up with some unusual and genius moves, making the warriors struggling to play their usual game plan. This year's rollercoaster story of the Cavs is coming to a happy ending, you shall see!

Surprised more people aren't making a big deal about this.

There is more than a week before game 1, I would expect him to be fine then?

I hate how the national media slurps up anything Warriors this season. To be honest, I think they over achieved, not to the point the Hawks did, but I see them coming down to earth in the finals. No one playing on that squad has NBA finals experience, its not a given its them over Cleveland.


All I want is a tough, fairly even series. May the best team win, but anyone not putting money on LeBron James is a damn fool....

Alllllllllright, who's the dipshit who picked the Warriors to sweep? Come on. Out with ya!!

Steph Curry.

Cavs in 1.

After the first game that we'll beat them hard in their home court, Curry and Kerr will decide to quit from their jobs, and the others will just follow suit and won't show up anymore, a victory after only 1 game!

What a wonderfully telling stat. These teams are really going to go at it.

Also, does the whole "teams outside of the top 10 in defensive efficiency during the regular season don't win the title" count when said team develops into the number 1 defensive team in the Playoffs?

Western Conference D is a joke. We'll see how well the soft respond to the hard and the strong.

Smash-Mouth vs. Limp Wrist. We'll see, Kerr. Come the dawn, we shall see.

So how much will a nosebleed ticket cost for games 3/4?

Let's bring this ship home in 5 boy's. Go Cavs and 216.

I didn't join until about 3-4 months after the Cavs-Spurs Finals in 2007 so exciting to get to do this here for the first time.

Am in the UK through June 11th, so I will be no doubt having to watch game 1-4 at 4am, which gives me a new sense of appreciation for all the Cavs fans outside the US who have been doing that all season(and for years for some)

Tell me about that.
Here in Israel usually the game starts at 3 am, my kids wake up at 6 am so that leaves me getting some sleep between 11 pm - 3 am.. Lately I just set my NBA League Pass hide the result in the morning, and watch the full game skipping over the Ads and the timeouts. That way I can finish watching the game in 1.5 hours in the morning.

Kind of awesome that the NBA champion this year will be some new blood. Tired of the same teams winning it over and over again (unless that becomes us)

This is huge..many people are afraid.
While this is the finals..remember how the Cavs beat the Warriors at home.
They choked off that 3pt shot, ran them off the arc, anf funneled them into the middle, and doubled them in the corners.

While GS has cruised through without a stiff challenge, they are all new to this.
They have only their coach to rely on for this stage.
Lebron has, Perkins has..Marion has, Jones/Miller all have experienced this.

They are not physical, which the Cavs are..they haven't gone through any adversity , which the Cavs have.
I'm not afraid of this team.
Houston laid down and didnt play any tuff D on them.
Howard was a joke in that series..he's a joke no matter where he plays.
People/media are underestimating the effort and talent on this Cavs team ,which is not the same group of COLLECTED scraps that went to the finals against SA.

Surprised more people aren't making a big deal about this.

During the game, Doris Burke reported Thompson was treated for a lacerated ear and because of that, he didn't need to go through the concussion protocol.

It sounded incredibly weird when being reported, like "Oh hey, his ear is hurt so he is fine. Nothing to see here" but that is exactly what she said.

Why would she report that if they actually went through the protocol? Sounds like the Warriors medical staff is trying to cover their ass.
