2017 NBA FINALS THREAD. PART III

[wavycrocket]

Don't y'all just love REAL team basketball?

Team defense
Passing
Cutting
Communication
Screening
Selflessness

We are witnesses to history. Just wait til the nuggets come up!

Warriors did what they were supposed to in game 1. wont happen again in game 2, Durant and Curry wont score like that together again this series.
Its only game 1.

Bulls vs Warriors, 90's or 80s rules...you think KD and Curry getting free passes to the rim? LMFAO

Bulls vs Warriors today's rules plus home court is the only chance GSW has.

Lol u old dudes need to stay out of this thread. Tired of hearing about how y'all used to walk 50 miles in the snow to school.

 

[KMante]

LeBron is 1-7 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Yikes!

 

[wavycrocket]

Y'all been conditioned by today's game. It won't be long til the league shifts back to defensive intensity and increased physicality. Problem is, today's rules cater to high scoring games, more threes, less post up play, and the run n gun style.

Good for entertainment but too soft for wars and battles like we used to seeing.

GSW just held a high powered Cavs offense to 90 purnts......though

After Game 1 i must change my prediction for this series

CAVS in 6

 

[CDFTDOT]

lakers in 5.

Lol, Magic and Kareem would give this team a run. But I think this team could take Kobe and Shaq

 

[quise2024]

So does a sweep wipe out the "3-1" sayings

Nothing can be done to erase that

 

[junglejim]

to say that this warriors team could hang with a jordan bulls team is not an overreaction.

4 all stars, 1 very good defender, 2 excellent shooters, and a 7'0 Wing player who's one of the most versatile players ever and can score from anywhere on the court.



Y'all really look at the 90's with rose colored glasses man   

Yup, yup, yup, I was also told the warriors were the greatest team ever after 4 finals games last year. Let the hot takes sizzle a little.

Also, a lot of that blow out was due to God awful transition defensive. There was about 10 points where the Cavs didn't even try to stop the ball. Adjustments will be made, and these games will be a lot closer

Next game,

Warriors did what they were suppose to do and defend home court now it's time for Cleveland to defend the land

LeBron is 1-7 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Yikes!

That's cuz he needs more help

KD SLAPPED HIS BALLS ON THE TABLE

problem with most peoples arguments like this are while u worry about physicality ur discounting the fact this generation shoots better top to bottom then any generation prior. Lakers playing for 2s and warriors playing for 3s and open midranges.

Appreciate the game u have today and the past that helped define. Stop trying to compare the 2 bc there is no comparison.

Bulls in 4

The warriors are one of the greatest defensive teams the league has EVER seen. They're locking down teams in an era that invites scoring.

What do you think this GSW team would do to teams who are even more anemic to the 3pt line and shot more midrange jumpers?

Come on man be logical.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

why do people act like the bulls swept through every finals they were in. 

 

[mister friendly]

The NBA is better now.

The Warriors would smoke the 1990s Bulls, 1980 Lakers, those Pistons teams.

The only team I could see challenging them is the 2000s Lakers, 2014 Spurs or the 2012 Heat.

True...because Lebron's role players weren't ready to play and didn't come ready for battle. Let's see how they respond in Game 2.

Bulls were always prepared to go to war in the Finals, from the starters all the way down to their 12th man.

I bet Lebron's teams have been blown out in the Finals alone more times than the Bulls have in their entire playoff run during MJ's career.

Nostalgia

The Triangle would result in Harper, Jordan, Pippen, etc. shooting midrange jumpers over KD, Klay, Iggy, Shaun, etc.

Conversely, Steph Curry would be running circles around whichever big would be showing on PnR with him. How the Hell the bulls would stop a Steph / KD PnR hahahahaha
