hahaha

Lebron said in the last series he could never see any team with himself on it as the underdog

The Warriors have been straight fire as a team that fits all its pieces together and maximizes their abilities into a whole greater than its parts. The Cavs have been a mess that constantly falls back on playing hero ball. I don't care whether LBJ is the best basketball player ever (a debatable proposition), hoops is still a team sport.

Sorry, bron. The Cavs are properly seen as the underdog. Doesn't mean they can't win, but it means you will be running uphill the whole time, carrying the whole team on your shoulders. Good luck with that.

My prediction that Kevin Love could get a ring this year is looking pretty good.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

the official prediction from mount lowe is warriors in 6

playin it safe

I've always wondered if it was a mistake for cleveland to dump Miles and Davis over concerns they'd be a bad influence on LBJ.

a mistake for sure miles davis was one of the alltime greats

Stephen Curry: "We went to Toys 'R' Us the other day and little girls asking their dad can they talk to Riley."

lol man wagner-davis-bron-miles-boozer is completely looney

incredible

another time truly

i don't really understand that tweet

Little girls were asking their dads if they could talk to Riley.

prob its just a joke tho

Diamond Leung is a Warriors beat guy, and Steph is too ~perfect~ to tell lies.

oh riley is the son, i thought it was the mom

riley is a girl

kev did u have finals or something

:|

btw dont recommend image searching riley curry unless u want to see some very cute stuff

is this all Tim Duncan's fault? at least he waited until they won the championship

i remember it was a thing to bring yr kid to the presser like 10-15 years ago for a while, just recall antione walker with a child who was much to old for the schtick, he had a like a ten year old on his lap

gsw in 7

kyrie supposedly isn't practicing much. might be a sweep if he isn't close to 100%

dubs with better odds to win in 5 than the cavs have to win in any number of games

knee tendonitis is very tricky based on the fact that it was bad enough that he cldnt play in the atl series id say the chances are hes nowhere near 100% or if he is at the beginning of the series hes not by the end

Yeah I can't imagine chasing Steph for long is going to work with a bum knee, though they probably won't let him do it for long anyway, though I have trouble figuring out where you hide Kyrie on d

lowe suggested putting him on barnes then doubling if he attempts to post, also cld try to stagger his minutes as much as possible so hes playing against the bench

yeah, the wizards don't have a hider. even livingston would eat kyrie's lunch in the post.

yeah i feel like they more or less will have no choice but to stick him on iggy/barnes and just hope that they shoot like 2/7 out of the post or something

uh, the warriors*

I think abt this tweet a lot

https://twitter.com/DragonflyJonez/status/601054335150206976

ya iggy and barnes cld both easily go cold for a series

i don't see how doubling in the post vs a team that passes as well as the warriors would work tho. feel like that would lead to a deluge of wide open threes.

better off just hoping barnes & iggy can't score

prob true

iggy has been bad at shooting

iggy has been p bad at offense, curious to see how much burn hell get on james, theoretically imo hes the best defender the warriors have for him but the drop off to barnes and dray might not be enough to warrant giving him a bump, also if bron continues to not be able to shoot and relies on his post game more dray and barnes might actually be better

i think draymond is their best option, i think he can mostly sag off bron a bit and stay in front of him

the only prob is that leaves tristan vs a smaller player on the offensive boards which might not be tenable

tho if bron catches them in the high post then faces up do they have the foot speed to stay with him idk

iggy already can't score and barnes had a bad series minus game 5

one thing lowe pointed out re the cavs offensive rebounding rampage is that it cld easily play into the dubs fastbreak game if they hit the offensive glass too hard

yeah

will "tristan thompson" and "matthew dellavedova" still be a thing by the end of this series?
yes +10000
no -12000

dova will only if he goes leg hunting again

lets not talk about that it makes me angry and scared

literal nightmares every night for the last week
