Re: Cavs will take Games 3 and 4 in Cleveland.

I originally thought they would be able to steal a game at home, when the Warriors were sleepwalking (probably game 4). But it sure as hell isn't a sure thing. Curry looks like he's out for blood. :o Anyway, it's mostly academic at this stage. I thought the same as well originally however I think I...

Re: After the series is over, 3-6 will be the narrative

You can't be serious? Every team in the league will make a play for him if they 1.) are able and 2.) think he might sign with them. Off top he will have the 76ers and Houston making a grab and I think he would shine in either of those situations. Houston can't afford him due to cap reasons unless i...

Re: After the series is over, 3-6 will be the narrative

The only thing anyone will be talking about is LeBron in free agency. I think LeBron is going to be underwhelmed by his FA options. You can't be serious?

Wow you are dumb...What do you think the statistics are for OT wins for the home team vs the away team
So now the home crowd won it for the Warriors. Got it.

Re: Cavs will win Game 2

Yeah... the Cavs are going to get blown out. Kerr is better at adjustments than Lue is. Game 1 was the Cavs chance to pop the giant in the mouth. They swung and missed. The giant is bringing the hammer down in game 2. We saw in the overtime a little of what's going to happen. "We saw in the ov...

Bench sides in the 2nd half

Before George Hill missed the FT last night, Steve Kerr told his team to call TO whether Hill make or miss the free throw. Kerr was afforded this opportunity as his bench sat on the same half of the court Cleveland was shooting. I guess I never realized this before, but wouldn't you think you'd want...

Re: Refs committed a 1st ever tonight...wow

Remember when David Blatt called a TO he didn't have and should have been assessed a technical foul which in all likelihood would have put the Bulls up 3-1 and LeBron never has this 8 straight finals streak.

Goes both ways.

Re: The Warriors are a joke

there's no way they win again next year. They dont have the desire, they will split up next year, and other teams are on the rise. Wherever GOAT goes next year is the team that will win. I don’t care what bullshit he says otherwise, there’s no way Klay’s taking a paycut to stay on the team after ne...

Re: Wow, GSW-CLE again? Who would have thought?

They need to make it more difficult to create superstars when the league is hurting for such talent distribution. 4 years in a row of this nonsense is ridiculous :L It will happen soon. Before the cap spike, LeBron was taking a "paycut" from $20 million max to $15 million. Now with Harden...

Re: What would you do if you were Dan Gilbert to Convince Bron to stay in Cleveland?

If Cleveland wanted to dump any combination of JR Smith / Tristan Thompson / George Hill, I'd take the #8 pick in a heartbeat as a Bulls fan for those salaries as they line up with Asik's contract expiring. Cleveland can even get an upgrade back in Rolo who can board and hit the midrange. no The Ca...

Re: Shove it up your arse, NBA Stat Geeks and Blog Boys...

It's hard to shift a philosophy and mantra of a team on the fly, perhaps. But Houston's lack of 3 point accuracy combined with their success driving to the hole was pretty glaring. How do you not start going to the rim. At least drive and kick. I think their 1st half success was predicated on them ...
