Official 2016 NBA Playoffs Thread: Conference Finals: Warriors / Thunder | Cavs / Raptors

[franco23x]

it's a beautiful day

Yes it is

When people don't understand a series is MUCH different then 1 NBA game

 

[Lovetohate3000]

It's not about being scared of Lebron, it's about keeping Ibaka over James Harden. That karma hasn't run it's course yet...

this is dumb. okc was better off trading harden. harden dont make this team better right now. okc dont need more offense.... 

 

[mrdozo]

GSW are frauds

take your 73 win REGULAR SEASON record and shove it

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Steph knee was great when he was screaming "I'm back" though. I'm not w/ all that excuse ****

Lol

 

[evansst]

Dubs need to pursue Howard in the off-season.

Center play has been atrocious.

 

[ill steelo]

These look like the exact same shots & layups that he's converted for the past 80+ games before last night.

Was he injured last year in game 2 against Dellavedova too? Or does he occasionally have games where he misses shots like every other player in the history of the league?

God this gsw slander shift in this thread is glorious. You at least see some rebuttal but it's just mostly slander in it. I love it.

remember you said this when OKC is looking for another scoring option in the finals. The cavs have plenty...

God this gsw slander shift in this thread is glorious. You at least see some rebuttal but it's just mostly slander in it. I love it.

And the people defending them are the same people who give a certain other superstar 0 excuses for failing in the postseason. Can you imagine another player's team won 73 and was on the brink of elimination before even reaching the finals?

 

[Lovetohate3000]

only thing that makes me suspect anything is he cant shake adams or other big men , like really this dude shakes chris paul and any kawhi couldnt stay in front of him but he cant shake big men but either way no excuses. okc bigs are just punking gs. gs front line looking weak and small. 

 

[ScroogeMcBuckz]

Curry can't guard nobody and OKC is exposing it.

 

[toodope91]

 
Verifiable? Or just a sensationalized statement?

Yeah, the second one.

No one in the history OF ALL MANKIND has had the kind of expectation placed on them that Lebron has, including Jesus H. Christ and Cesar Borgia.

The expectations are there, sure. But the excuses are just as prevalent by both the media and himself

How would you even verify that anyway? It is obviously somewhat of an opinion - an opinion that anyone with half an unbiased brain would agree with

 

[Lovetohate3000]

remember you said this when OKC is looking for another scoring option in the finals. The cavs have plenty...

remember it. you still think its 2012 ... this team is far superior to the 2012 squad, not even debatable. kendrick perkins was they starting center and russ and kd are in they prime while lebron is out his prime. how you cannot see that is beyond me. 

 

[Lovetohate3000]

its annoying hearing " if it was this other guy you wouldnt hear the end of it" ... tough , these guys arent the same and arent treated the same. everyone is treated differently , life aint fair . deal with it.

These trash hot takes crashed this site



Y'all Have a good night

It seems to me that you were down much longer than NikeTalk - and spent less time offline.

I'm ready to argue that this cavs team is better ANDDD younger than the 2012 heat squad too. Lemme ask you this, outside of KD and Russ, who else could give you at least 20 on OKC. Now ask yourself who else on the Cavs could give you 20 outside of Lebron and Kyrie on the Cavs.....yep.

 

[silverbackhoney]

I think my first post when the game started was me saying wtf type of shot was that Curry
Dude so used to playing like a video game that he forgot how to take good shots
Russ has the same problem though, just not at the moment.

 

[jc619er]

He still didn't look right then, he was playing on adrenaline. Y'all harping on 1 quarter and overtime to justify your argument while he hasn't looked right in the majority of time otherwise.


You really gonna sit here and tell me a guy who relies on his shiftiness and lower body power to execute the way he does on offense isn't going to be hampered by an injury that hampers both of those things?


This guy torched the best wing defenders in the league all year but now he can't even get buckets on Ibaka or Adams.


Like I said before, respect to Steph for not saying anything but anybody who has been watching him all year can see that he's not right.

It doesn't matter at this point honestly. GS has benefited in the playoffs from facing teams with injuries to key players the past two years. Those teams had to deal with it and so do they once he steps on that court I dont want to hear any excuses because if it was Lebron, Kd, or any other star they wouldn't get that pass.

Exactly. Unless he's on the bench excuses go out the window.

At what point do I get an apology because I essentially called people stupid for calling the harden trade either:

A) "the worst trade ever"

B) " the worst trade of the decade"





As I said then, y'all may want to look how dame got to Portland.. How kyrie got to Cleveland.. And everything the nets gave up to Boston

That's just for this decade

Nobody on the Cavs is giving you 20 consistently but Kyrie and Bron either though.

We saw what happens to JR when the 3's stop falling, Kevin Love is shooting 30% from 2 against defenses not as good as OKC and Channing Frye play isn't sustainable.

This Cavs team is not better than the Heatles, stop it.

 

[brandon3000]

OKC is 4-2 at Chesapeake Energy Arena this post season....


One loss to Dallas they lost by just 1 point, and the other to San Antonio losing by just 4 points.


I don't think it's that unrealistic to think OKC could go up 3-1.


Also, they've outscored their opponents by 20 points in each of the 4 home games they've won...

bla bla bla something something by an inch or by a mile bla bla bla - vin diesel

Just sayin... I called 3-1 and y'all hit me with fast & furious jokes

I'm ready to argue that this cavs team is better ANDDD younger than the 2013 heat squad too. Lemme ask you this, outside of KD and Russ, who else could give you at least 20 on OKC. Now ask yourself who else on the Cavs could give you 20 outside of Lebron and Kyrie on the Cavs.....yep.

everyone been stepping up. theyve feasted on arguably the best defensive team in the spurs with defensive player of the year kawhi but they going to struggle against the cavs . cmon now .

okc is locked in on defense and out rebounding everyone.

. cavs are struggling against the raptors with luis scola starting. cavs defense isnt really good. adams and kanters are going to feast against the cavs. lebron cant shoot no more nor play d like he in did in  2012. you not making sense my dude.
