Calves fans wanna discredit the warriors playoff runs but can't admit they got help winning the chip playing against a hobbled curry and iguodala, and without bogut and Draymond in close out games. Goes both ways.

It's fair to say both Cavs and Warriors have compelling arguments. I really hope this Finals everyone is 100% or close to it.

ummm.. I'm not a cavs fan.. but everyone has been saying for a while how weak the east is and bron pretty much has a free ride to the finals as long as he is healthy

he needs his important teammates to be healthy if he wants to win once there

oh you must've not been here earlier when [@=https://niketalk.com/members/139158"the warriors have always had an easy path to the finals"


but what would I know, im a delusional dubs' fan

They had an easy path until they played OKC last year imo.

I also wished If durant didn't get hurt in 2015 to see how they would have fared against the dubs that year but enough about the what ifs. 

warriors steam rolled thru teams on the way to 73 wins, so it's conceivable that their dominance made good opponents look easier to beat. but does that mean it's an "easy" path? who knows

the same could be said for the cavs but when you look at the bottom 3 or 4 teams of the east barely pushing .500 last year, it's hard to argue that they'd be stiff competition for lebron, Kyrie and love

Injuries are a factor every year. It's unfortunate but that's the way it goes. I'm kinda tired of hearing about the Draymond suspension every day on here since he went for 32/15/9 in Game 7 and they still lost on their home floor. Not to mention Draymond is a grown man who often struggles to control his emotions. The blame goes to him for that, not anyone else. He went for the nuts for the 3rd time in a handful of games. Cousins sure doesn't get this kind of leeway on here when he has his emotional outbursts. Can we move on at some point? GSW is in all likelihood winning the chip this year barring a miracle, so just enjoy this year.

Thank you.

Do the Cavs get the win tonight? I want an upset dammit.

Both plays where dirty to me

This. Zaza may be a dirty sack of crap, but his play actually looked like an accident. LMA looked like a goofy doofus attempting the same thing. Dude's natural movements aren't graceful in the first place, so him purposely trying to pull a Zaza looked even worse

yes. Haven't heard a peep about it today. The zaza play people were still crying about it till tip off yesterday


You were just looking for a reason to say, "That hate," with those emojis, huh?

:rofl:
 
who honestly thinks the celtics can win tonight?

i dont think anyone does

this might be their only chance at stealing a game due to the cavs having a long lay off

Lebron James is in fact walking through that door

Wholeheartedly agree with everything here.

Except the W's winning the chip this year.

This is 2014 all over again.

Revenge gentleman sweep Bron gets torched defensively...but puts up good stats in garbage time blowout losses.

The real question is...where does LeBron go next...or who does he recruit next...:nerd:

I'm going assume the answer is no.. and I believe the lakers going 15-1, is the best playoff record ever

has it ever happened in NBA history that both teams in the finals were undefeated going in?

are the lakers the only team to go into the finals undefeated?
 
I can't see Cleveland losing tonight.  How long have they been off?  And Boston just played a 7 game series?   Nah....
