It's simple for cleveland:

1.Lebron must stay aggressive
2.Kyrie must stay aggressive
3.T.Thompson must stay aggressive on the boards
4.Limit Loves minutes.
5.Lebron or Thompson should be guarding Green at all times,not K.Love
6.Run Curry and Thompson off the 3pt line
7.When Livingston comes in the game,guard him with Lebron
8.Limit the Turnovers
9.Hit 80% of your FT.
10.No stupid Fouls shumpert,Smith,Love......

The Cavs have won every game in this series that has been played on 72 hours of rest.

Refs let em play physical, Cavs win. Unless they only let one team play physical, which is a strong possibility.

Exactly, which is why this warriors betting line is a meager 4.5 points. Also, before game 6 tipped off the cavs/warriors game 7 line had been bet down to +3.5. There is a reason this is the lowest warriors home game money line of the last two seasons.

If you get the Warriors playing at their best, then they're gonna win. Credit to Bron and the Cavs but game 7 will be decided by how the Warriors play.

Cavs have to survive the first half, I think if they are within five by the middle of the third quarter after the break that they are going to pull the shocker

It's 90's stans masking their hate of golden state. Make no mistake, they don't actually like LeBron. At the moment he's the lesser of two evils. If the Warriors win, it knocks the Bulls off the spot of best season ever and that scares them more than LeBron ending the drought. If the cavaliers win, they can prop it up as golden state blowing it, and try to ignore a superhuman showing by LeBron. We saw this last round when everyone was drooling over the thunder.

Great post. They're already discrediting the Warriors though. Quite a few of them think Barkley's Suns or Malone/Stockton Jazz teams would wash them.

If Golden State win the series tomorrow they'll be taking out their frustration on LeBron like they did on KD/Westbrook a month ago.

I'm just in awe that a muthafukka can jump from team to team and pick and choose who he plays with and be considered a goat. Who else has had that luxury? People on this board will make every excuse in the book when he fukks up smh

That's like saying staying on one team and letting their front office pick the team determines how great they are as a player. The reason a lot of the old heads didn't move around as much is that free agency basically didn't exist until maybe the early 90's. Do we hold it against Shaq or Roger Clemens that they played on a bunch of different teams? Personally I don't, though each of them could have done without their stint in Boston. For me, I separate all the radio and tv driven narratives and simply ask "how well do they play, how well do they fot with their teammates on the court, are they durable, and do they get it done when the game gets tight?" in assessing how great a player is.

Not denying how great of a player Bron is. Just pointing out the fact that he's had to go to other teams to seek out ships.

You're a big Wade fan and he didn't have to leave his team to seek out ships.

Shaq had already won mad ships in LA but could've done without jumping from team to team at the end. I guess he was just cashing out before he retired

My bad OP, cant tell these posters apart

Damn chill akh, you're quick to bark on brehs. The hate in your heart for the Warriors is unhealthy

I disagree. I think this series has shown that the cavs at their peak are a better team than the warriors at its peak. Give the cavs a 72 hour rest window and they can "redline" so to speak and extend their advantage in the starting rotation over a longer period of time. The way the warriors won 73 reg season games (where b2b and 3 games in 4 nights happens) was through their excellent depth that allowed their starters to stay fresh throughout the season and avoid getting burned out trying to secure a win. That advantage has been nullified by the 3 days of rest between games 2 and 3, games 4 and 5, games 5 and 6, and soon to be games 6 and 7. Then you factor in that bogut is out and m iguodala will attempt to play through lower back problems and it tips the scales in the cavs favor even more. They will go all out in this game 7 and play their main guys (Lebron kyrie TT) no less than 42-43 minutes each.

Wade was fortunate the Heat drafted him. They consistently make good choices, such as the Shaq trade and preparing for 2010 once the championship window on that team closed, employing good coaches like SVG and Pat Riley (minus spo ). The Cavaliers do not. The best player they could get from 2003-10 besides James was either Mo Williams or 38 year old Shaq, and that wasn't enough to beat Orlando, Boston, or the teams that Miami or Chicago or Indiana would have put together from 2010-14. The best coach they had in that span was Mike Brown, who has been fired 3 times in a 5 year span. The only player they drafted in that span who is still in the league or made any impact at all on a good team was Varejao. No matter how great you are, you still have to rely on others on the coaching staff and team and front office to win. A-Rod was hitting over .300 with 50 homers and 130+ RBI's in Texas and the Rangers were still in last place. More Great examples are how many different times the Colts defense lost the game for Peyton Manning. I think we can pretty much agree on how great Derek Jeter was, but if he were on a team like the Pirates or Tampa Bay, he might not have any of the 5 world series rings he has. Shaq was on his contract he signed in Miami actually all the way through his year in Cleveland . That thing ran forever.

Number 1 on that list is getting Curry switched on the pnr. Cavs been killing it when running that and getting Steph in foul trouble.

shyt, at this rate the Warriors have to survive the first quarter.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Cavs gotta win. It's time

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

why wouldn't they be? they were counted out against okc, and won 3 straight... now they're being counted out, when they're at home.

I mean, i want to see them lose, i want lebron to win it for "the land", i want to see that bytch face curry cry till the next season, but just being very realistic. I just don't see the warriors shooting ~20-30% ..

How are they being counted out when they're still the favorites of the league, the pundits and in Vegas? This fake underdog shyt with the Warriors is hilarious
