I was really impressed by the Warriors' ability to strip the ball inside without fouling. Really messed up Brons driving game.

Cavs in 5

that was a great game to watch yesterday. The Warriors bench came up huge. Going to be a fun series imo

Cavs in 5

Yeah no chance that happens.

If Golden State somehow lost the series, that would mean they lost 7 games the last few weeks of the year after going an ENTIRE regular season with just 9 losses.

Not going to happen. Even if Curry got hurt, I still see the Warriors winning. It would take series-ending injuries to both Curry and Thompson, and even then...

Cavs need  someone to tell them "they play like sissies".

I think if Curry injured = Cavs win. Can't see them stopping LeBron, Kyrie, and Love who would be pummeling on offense.

It would be funny that...the motto would be "offense wins championship" this year.

Let me ask you a question - why are you rooting for the Cavs? lol Is Lebron not hated worldwide as much as he is in the US?

We really hate GSW over here fam.
There are Lebron haters in Athens too, but certainly not as many as (I imagine) there are in the States.

Why the GSW hate?

[SHAQATTACK]

I'm picking LeBron to Dominate this game and punk Steph Curry on his way to blowing out GS tonight

Bronny never looses a GAME TWO  in Series .

This one is good as in the bag for Cavs

Why the GSW hate?

if you ask me, i typically support the underdog. i would support any team against GSW.
if you ask my gr acquaintances, esp. those who played bball  at the lower divisions, they think it is 'fake' basketball. i don't really agree but they are vehement  about it

It's strange to hear that from a foreigner because it seems to me the Warriors are in many ways following trends developed first in European leagues.

the difference between how bball is played in the states and how it is played here is a fascinating but big question. I'll come back to it later. For the time all I can say is that the pace of euro teams afaik as I know is slower than GSW and they also shoot a lot less 3s; but I'd rather re-check the metrics before making this kind of broad generalizations.
tbh, the team that is mostly seen as a 'euro' style team here is SAS (but personally I have my reservations).
