A King Asks For Seconds & A Chef Obliges: Official Warriors vs. Cavs 2016 NBA FINALS Thread

[<<TheStandard>>]

Thunder had long rangy athletes at every position to make things somewhat difficult on offense for GS

Love and Kyrie are gonna get run off the floor

and the bench discrepancy is huge

warriors in a comfortable 5

cleveland

y'all have a better chance of getting that championship with johnny manziel than this series

I disagree with the bolded strongly.

Cavs are a pretty deep team and I think the Lebron with the 2nd unit lineup that Lou has been playing in the 2nd quarter all play offs has made the Cavs a lot stronger. The warriors def need to worry if their bench can match up with that being that their bench typically has an advantage.

Lebum James

Kyrie Irving
J.R. Bricks

Imo Okc was a tricky matchup for the Dubs. I don't see the Cavs giving them the same problems

@SugarBiscuitsNotDonutsThoughts Breh explain the rolling stone of corn I've seen from your fanbase over the span of this year.....Is this the bottom of the well for y'all?

No way Cleveland plays as hard as OKC...

GSW in 7! Cavs can't win a series against them.

Thompson did give them problems, but Golden State was REALLY tight through three games in that series too, especially after Kyrie went down. The Cavs do not have the bodies/length to challenge at the rim like OKC did. That caused a lot of issues for Golden State. I don't see that being a problem in The Finals. Golden State is simply better this year too.

Cleveland's bigs do more pick and pop stuff, whereas Adams did pick and roll stuff. That set him up to wreak havoc on the boards. He's also a much better finisher than Thompson could ever dream to be.

Klay and Draymond had pretty poor series in last year's Finals as well.

Love's gotta be on fire in this series for them to win, in my opinion. If not, regardless of any driving lanes he opens up, he's gonna hurt them overall.

They weren't tight, they were honestly struggling with the Cavs defense, games 5 & 6 were still close and it took runs for the Warriors to end them. They finally figured out that their PF had to dive to the basket on those hard shows, but still the Cavs defense held tight, their offense is what let them down.


The Cavs bigs will hit threes, they will spread the floor and leave someone one on one trying to keep Thompson off the glass. This Cavs team is better than the Thunder, how much better is up for debate but they can pose some of the same problems. And it's not like they have to keep Love out there either, if his defense is that big of an issue he wont play.

the difference between Durant and the Kang in the 4th is LeBron can score inside when he needs to. LeBron don't miss the bunnies

 

[The War Report]

@ this schedule.

 

[Kaypain]

If Kevin Durant joins the Warriors I will never watch another NBA game again, nor buy anything related to the NBA, including video games, jerseys, etc...
