CodeMonkey Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 It was the same last year, then the NBA rigged it. Cavs haven't given their best yet, hope it's a massacre of a sweep though. LeBron has. They showed him as he sat on the bench near the end of the 3rd. Dude was spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figster Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Easy money. As I like to say- it takes money to take money. Couple of injuries in any team sport can turn the tide in my humble opinion SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tends to pack her in when it's not going his way, can't blame him at all for game 2. Dog it out when it's a lost cause and be 100% for the next game. Can't see the Warriors wanting to push too hard for the sweep if the Cavs put up a great fight tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Except that 16-0 in the playoffs has never been done before. That's not a goal worth sacrificing for. They hopefully learned last year that these records don't mean anything and getting injured or tired isn't worth it. Curry learned to shed the NBA-hero role this season and just concentrate on winning without being a wind-up toy to help sell the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriors let up last year in game 3 because they thought they had the series won. They won't let up at any point this year. Tonight's game is certainly pivotal, to say the least. I can see a scenario where the Cavs role players are on fire and the Warriors are off their game and Cavs take one, but if the Warriors win tonight and especially if it's a runaway win, game 4 could be UGLY.

row_33 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I believe in teams of respectably equal strength not trying to wipe each other out in 7 game series. If the Cavs would roll up and die without much effort, the Warriors will gladly sweep them. But if the Cavs come out fighting, the Warriors wouldn't mind winning it in 6 games.

Warriors score pretty much at will while Cavs put every ounce of their being into getting a basket it seems like...over the course of a game it just becomes too hard to work that much the entire 48 minutes and they start to tire and then Warriors go on a 20-0 run in the blink of the eye turning a close game into a laugher...at least that's been the story in the first 2 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavs got within a bucket a few minutes into the second half before it fell apart. Hoops is all about dogging it at a good moment that doesn't matter. Would hate to want to depend on something not happening that makes what could be a 4-game sweep end up a 5-gamer. Shaq and Kobe lost a game in the Final that year. The 86 C's somehow lost a game after Sampson got kicked out. Neither should have happened... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Anaheim totally packed it in for Game 6 against the Oil, after the Oil showed it would fight, and let them score 7 and have a big victory dance and parade, they didn't mind knowing game 7 was coming home for them.

row_33 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 That was easily one the 10 best NBA games I've watched in 45 years, game 3. Irving's efforts and magical powers were among the best ever put on a court. Love isn't championship material. Cavs gave their best and lost to a better team, if they have anything in the tank tonight that is very admirable, I expect a Warriors easy win. The talent in its prime on both teams has only been matched by the 84/85 Lakers/Celtics Finals. If the Lakers didn't tank against Houston, then 86 would have been another one.

Captain Murica Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Where will LeBron be taking his talents to this time? San Antonio to team up with his buddy CP3.. Jk he would never go to the West where the big boys play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jk he would never go to the West where the big boys play. not like the olden days when the West was always a joke for Magic and his Lakers to get a bye to the Finals. They even messed it up against Houston twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Get out the brooms. Bad night in Cleveland. Browns safety Tyvis Powell is scheduled to throw out the first pitch at the Indians game tonight. Make that former Browns safety. They waived him this afternoon. They couldn't wait a few hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
