NBA Finals 2015-2016 thread

Like I said, once the Warriors win this series, I would not be opposed to getting Irving. He has problems, but under a good coach he can be great.

Barf.  The guy is the antithesis of a Celtic, imo.  I'd say that we should 'pass' on him, but somehow putting the words 'pass' and 'Kyrie Irving' in the same sentence just doesn't feel right .

Agreed with one correction - Kyrie Irving is great.

Not sure if Tyronn Lue or LeBron James outcoached Steve Kerr.

Unlike Lebron, it's kind of hard to not like Kyrie. He seems like an actual good guy.

Not a fan of how he plays.

Westbrook without the jaw dropping athleticism, just endless crossovers and crazy shots

He's also likely to injure walking back to the locker room.

Kyrie Irving is one of the greatest young shooters the game has seen in the 2000s. He is a completely different player from Westbrook.

On the plus side I think my Warriors in six prediction is coming together here.

Cavs got some momentum now. I took Dubs in 6 as well but it's looking like 7.

I think Warriors will start the death lineup in game six and close this out like they did in game four. Kyrie and Lebron won't play like this again.

Ah jawohl, Golden State's SS division (sarcasm) . Actung der Cleveland!

Spectacular performance by LeBron and Kyrie.  Iguodala had a Sixers flashback and made some unbelievably stupid plays and Steph proved that the old guys have a point that he's vulnerable to being bodied up.

Better figure out how to stop LBJ and Kyrie more now. Love should take advantage of the Bogut injury too.

Looks like that OKC-GSW West Finals ain't the nba finals anymorez eh NBA fans!

He has flashes where he is great. 57 against San Antonio. 55 against Portland. 41 against the Knicks. 41 tonight. He has games where he is completely unguardable. But he has a lot of flaws too. Flaws he's had since he's entered the league and he's nearly a vet at this point despite his age.

In terms of having tunnel vision and not being point guards, I agree with Phosho that the two are similar, but Irving's ball handling, not to mention his shooting, is simply outstanding.  Westbrook can only dream of being able to dribble like that - his game is nothing but athleticism, and I'm interested to see just how well, or not, his game ages.

Didn't watch the game because this was an NBA money game.  Lets play both teams with all their players and stop babying LaBron.

Yeah I think we got a series now.

I understand Kevin Love really doesn't fit in with this Cleveland team, and he's a third option and all, but man he hasn't made any type of impact at all in this series.

To me, at this point in time Kevin Love, is really an unproven player getting max money. I want to see something... some sign he can still get hot, I wanna see a tough rebound, and put back. Maybe back to back baskets, something where I can see this guy can still play, not even talking about dominating the game.

[Ogaju]

How is that asterisk looking for GSW win last year.

They cannot even win with Green out, and the world expects Cleveland not to miss Kyrie and Love?
