It was also a terrible matchup for TOR. Unlike some of the other “top” PGs, Wall can be very good defensively and held Lowry in check much better than many other teams would’ve.
I dont like the Cavs chance against the bulls.
I know it’s one game, but the bulls looked like a team on another level.
On a positive note, it was still a close game despite the bulls being on fire, and Lebron playing like shit.
Clippers with a choke job for the history books. A win in game 7 and I guess all is forgiven, but my god was that collapse ugly to watch.
Houston with a comeback!!!
I can only imagine the conspiracy uproar if LAL (or NYK) had actually won tonight’s draft lottery.
Wish it had happened for that reason alone.

It’s as if they said, we need the team with the best odds to finally win.
I just wish the Twolves still had Klove…
I’m still a bit in disbelief the clips let that one go but rockets I give credit to for fighting back. Despite being 2-0 down they’ll push the warriors.
Looking forward to seeing DJ in mavs colours next season.

They’ll push the Warriors? I laugh.
Have you guys ever even watched the Warriors play before? You East Coast guys must have never seen them play if you think anyone has a chance against them. They play a style of basketball that is FAR superior to any of the cheap shit the rest of the NBA has to offer. This team is a dynasty in the making. They’ll destroy the Rockets in Game 4 and probably win the Finals in 4 or 5 largely non-competitive games. Yesterday was the first time the Warriors came close to playing a complete game this postseason and they won by 35.

Shitty playoffs so far. Assuming no major injuries winner of LAC v SAS will go to the finals and in the east I really can’t see anyone other than Atlanta or Chicago going through.
Clips and Spurs have been the best two teams of the last 20 regular season games and it is a tragedy this series is not a west finals match-up.[/quote]
You clearly know nothing about basketball. The Warriors were the best team the last 20 games. They were something like 19-1 down the stretch, and unlike the Clippers, they weren’t doing it against a bunch of sub-500 garbage teams.
Seems like it’s going to be Cavs v Warriors with a week or so off between games, i know the Cavs will benefit from the rest but will the warriors get rusty.
So what are you Finals prediction people?

Hard to tell. The warriors should sweep, but that LeBron guy is pretty good.
I want to say Warriors in 6 but that puts the game in Cleveland, and I guess I just don’t see the closeout happening there. So it’s either Game 5 in a quick series, or game 7 and anyone’s game. Probably leaning towards 4-1 GS if those are my options because I respect the hell out of what this Warriors team has done, and think Kyrie is going to be hobbled as hell(tendonitis doesn’t just disappear after a week of rest, he might feel good for one game but then it’s inflamed again and he’s fucked).
Tough injury for Irving and CLE.
Maybe if James goes to the rack at the end of regulation, he at least gets 2 FTs (and OT never even happens).
In any event, that deep (and well-defended) jumper he eventually settled for was turrible.
The game was interesting to watch, overall I would say that the Cleveland Cavaliers, played too much iso 1 on 1 basketball where as the Golden State Warriors had a more balanced attack.
The Cavaliers are a team that runs a ton of iso due to having, Lebron and Kyrie but if they want to win this series they need to keep other guys in rhythm as well.
*With Kyrie out for the season I am very doubtful that guys like JR smith and Iman Shupmert can step up enough to beat Golden State.
Man Cleveland is really getting some favourable calls 3 quarters in… That offensive goaltending call was ridiculous

Refs have been real bad all series, but i say that every year during the finals…
Curry is overrated, but you cant give the MVP to LeBron every year…
Am I the only one who thinks the praise shun on Dellavedova for his D on Curry being way too excessive?
Here’s an article that compares him to Michale Jordan LOL

Curry is going to get his tonight.

You can’t be serious, right?
Is this post like a sports parody of a Fox News political post?

Yes I did. I should have written what I wrote in 2 separate posts.
One point was 1) Dellavedova praise is over the top and Curry will bounce back
