Have a hard time seeing the Cavs winning Game 7

[Professor Emeritus]

@The Dankster

Hell, I was right with almost every word I said about the Cavs.

* Lebron has put up two enormous games in a row. 82 points, 24 boards, 18 assists, with 7 steals and 6 blocks over the last two games, taking 57 shots. That's a huge effort that takes a toll. At this age and with this wear, I don't see him doing that a third straight time. Last year I kept saying that he was going to fall off because he couldn't do this every game, and it happened by Game 4. He isn't carrying the same weight that he was last year, but the weight is still huge, and now we're expecting him to do it up to Game 7 and do it efficiently? Possible, but I don't think it's likely.

check.

Lebron might play with all the effort in the world. That doesn't mean that the tiredness and wear in his body won't pull those jump shots off target.

He still is capable of games like 5 and 6. But it's too much to expect him to do it a third time in a row at this point. He might still put up something like 30-10-10..

check. Damn, I got that nearly perfect...27-11-11 to 30-10-10, with the jump shot off and efficiency lower, just like I said.

* Cleveland's bench is just awful on the road. 10 points in Game 1. 12 points in Game 5. They only scored a decent amount in Game 2 because the game was over early and the bench played the whole 4th quarter. JR is awful on the road too: 6-18 in the three road games so far in this series. All year long Cleveland was suspect on the road, and they basically relied on Lebron and sometimes Kyrie to get whatever road wins they could.

check. The bench brought nothing, and JR continued to suck on the road.

But unless JR or someone else on the Cavs comes out with super fire (like Miller in 2012 or Battier in 2013), then it's going to take a Herculean effort from Kryie/Lebron to overcome what Golden State is going to bring. And even a Herculean effort from those two might not be enough if they've already spent too much to this point and/or Curry/Thompson/Green and the rest really bring what they're capable of.

This is all I missed on No way that I thought that everyone on the Warriors other than Green would play like hot garbage.



Lebron deserves this shyt, great final game and incredible series. But Golden State really let themselves down too.

You know very damn well what you were doing with this thread.

Was I wrong?


I asked you that question once, before the game played, and you didn't answer.


The ONLY thing I was wrong about was that a Warriors team that had been dominant at home (50-3 this season before the Finals game where Green was out, 11-1 in the playoffs), shot far, far worse than I expected them to outside of Green. I don't know if they just weren't about that moment, if Cleveland's defense was just that good, if they were just tired and had an unlucky bad game at the worst time...but I expected more from Curry/Klay and the bench.


But everything I said about Lebron, Kyrie, J.R., and the Cavs bench was perfectly on point. I just never imagined that 93 points would be enough to beat GS in their own house.


I wasn't anything less than truthful with every word I spoke. And most of it was right.


Just like last year...when I was right about how the Cavs should have played Kyrie's injury and right about how the Finals would play out without him....but let's forget that one too.

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

Aren't you a Suns fan?! Why u dikkriding ?

Stop it breh. Of all the reasons that the Cavs might lose, Bron not being able to produce isn't one of them.

He's been trying to bring a ring to Cleveland and this is the closest he's ever been. This was his mission for 31 years. The Kang WILL show up on Sunday night.

And yes indeed the Kang did show up.
