NBA Finals 2015-2016 thread

Cavs are obviously in a very difficult situation.
It is also obvious tho the series is not over yet.

It is?

I agree, it's not over and the Cavs could rally.

The only chance the Cavs have is by going all-out "Detroit Bad Boys" in game three. I am talking thug ball of proportions that would make them the most unpopular team in the league. Can you imagine how unpopular a player would become if he took out Curry or Thompson with an elbow? Even then, I doubt they have a chance.

They're toast. This is likely going to become 3-0 and Golden State may or may not conduct a gentleman's sweep in game four. Even if the Cavs somehow cut it to 2-1, Golden State will jump at the opportunity to close this out in game five in Oakland. I'll be shocked if this goes more than five, guys.

I agree, it's not over and the Cavs could rally.

They've won 9 of the 12 matchups in the last two years, and they're 0-4 this year against GSW, with 3 of those games being major blowouts. This series was over before it started. In addition to being a poorly fitting team, GSW is just not a good matchup for them. I'll be surprised if it goes more than 5 games.

I tend to agree.

In fact there is nothing in the world I would love more then to see the Cavs get get swept by an average win margin of 15 PPG.  Since the Celtics got eliminated, that's really the only result left that would big a great big smile on my face.

Didn't Lebron's Cavs get swept in 2007, too? Man, two sweeps and a pretty one-sided 6-game NBA Finals series is really doing right by Cleveland, Lebron!

Cavs chances are something like 5%

But it's not over till the fat lady sings.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion & I'm glad Phil's still trying to be relevant.

But this Golden State Warriors team isn't the '93 Knicks.   

I wouldn't be shocked if the games are split in CLE but I'm not sure this thing is going past 5 games now.

I'm really hoping that Mike Breen doesn't call Doris Burke 'DB' again during tonight's broadcast.  That was...weird .

[jpotter33]

Cleveland sucks, but it's really cool that they have the whole stadium sing the National anthem. Really neat idea.

[jpotter33]

It will be interesting to see Lebron at pf tonight. Personally, I think he should make the move there full time now. Someone like Crowder would slot in perfectly at the 3 next to him.

And there is the hot start most expected from the Cavs tonight. GS will respond though.

I have long waited for Lebron to play the 4, because then he'll actually have to rebound, lol , which is why, imo, he's been hesitant to play said position consistently.

[jpotter33]

No reason for Smith to be out there if he's not hitting shots, or even threatening to shoot.

[jpotter33]

Klaus Thompson has some horrible shot selection at times.. Why the hell would you shoot that after just bricking two free throws??

Lol these Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.in refs.  Wear yourself out Cleveland
