Frankly, it is warriors in 4. I will be watching and suporting the cavs, but I just dont see what answer the cavs can cook up for Durant - even if you put LBJ on this dude and ice him, now you have Klay and Curry loose! If cavs win 1, I will be overjoyed

I know the league killed CP3 joining Kobe on the Lakers some years back for fear oftoo strong a team. Durant to Warriors is far worse - I think some rules will be put in place to stop this from happening again. . It is one thing to stack your team with good and complimentary players like Kyrie, Love, Korver etc. It is another thing to wholesale imports legit superstars (top 3, top 5) - I think the league will recognize this limit and add restrictions other than salary cap
Ahhh aye ma ni ika oo. Make una allow Golden State to j'aiye oloba and j'aiye ori won. If its their destiny to win multiple chips then so be it. When they were roasting with Monta Ellis, Mikael Pietrus, Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, Richardson, Biedrins e.t.c ehn that time nobody talk.

This team started from the bottom. Draymond was D-League material 3 years ago. Why is everybody not acknowledging these guys grew together. Nobody complained when James, Bosh, Wade formed a team and recruited Ray Allen, Rashad Lewis, Battier

Why are people acting like Lebron wouldn't have recruited even more players if he had cap space? Is it Golden State's fault that Lebron had guys like Thompson and J.R Smith overpaid because their agent is a member of his 'posse'

Thats the thing though, knowing it won't be enough, do you do it regardless or just stop? Regardless, you aren't beating the warriors. I don't want one team to enter the finals for the next three years, with the way it is going, Cleveland - warriors will be in the finals for years to come.

You do it for sure. Like LoJ said, it gives you a decent shot. But aldridge is not the dynamic scoring big we thought he could be. I swear Diaw is more valuable to the spurs than Aldridge.

Spurs need another dynamic scorer who can mix it up in the paint if need be, draw some fouls and spread the floor for spurs numerous 3pt specialists. Aldridge was supposed to be this guy, but he really doesnt fit quite right. If he is not scoring, its like he has no effect

LeBron drafted 2003 and left for Miami 2011 (8yrs).
KD drafted 2007 and left for Warriors 2016 (9yrs).
And LeBron started this super team bullshít and now is learning from the best.
Please let's quit the double standard.
KD deserves his ring.
I just tire. He ran after 7 years oh! K.D stayed 9 years. Make them kuku kill am.

Wetin I know be say that #35 on KD's shirt is not for show. He is wearing Lebron's finals record by the end of this series

My two kobo on Game 1.

The Cavs defense is terrible. My goodness! I thought they were playing down to the opponent but what I saw was just too poor for NBA Finals. That score flattered the Cavs

Zaza and McGee exceeded my expectations. Forget K.D and Steph if guys like Zaza and McGee are winning their mini matchups the series ends quickly

Lebron cannot guard K.D it won't end well. Lebron is not a fundamentally sound defender, he relies heavily on his athleticism and size. I lost count of the terrible angles and footwork he displayed on guarding KD. Including the one almost breaking his ankle. Unless he wants to be completely gassed late in games and be sub-optimal offensively he would do well to stay far away from K.D or play help defense

Klay Thompson! He was 3/16 but with defense like that he can be 0/16. He was on everybody's as$. It was beautiful to watch

K.D! He needs to take this series very personal. If he wants to overthrow Bron this is the best platform. I like what I saw in Game 1. He needs to do even more when it gets tighter. He has all the tools to outshine him and push him over the edge

10 assists from Steph. I saw a Steph playing with poise and making responsible passes. I won't overreact after 1 game but if Steph protects the ball there would be blood

Let me add too that Cavs need to find a way to win Game 2. Any Cavs fan that thinks these Warriors would blow another 2 game lead. Either 2-0 or 3-1 is in for a very rude shock

Seriously tho...forget all the jibber jabber. Here is the bottomline. Every era has a superstar. MJ, kobe, now lebron. Except for MJ that wisely handed over at the top, father time ensures everyone superstar hands over to the next generation.

KD has spent about a decade in the league, so its definitely his time to be the alpha in the NBA. Lebron's only job this series is to delay his own demise, and deny KD the mantle for another year. I said it last year, and it is more obvious this year, that Lebron already peaked physically. At this point he is a much better jump shooter because he has to be. Lets see if he is crafty enough to steal one from KD.

I know Kobe lasted longer in the league than he should have primarily because of bball iq and good roleplayers. That is where Lebron is now. I am not missing any game....baton is about to be handed over...either that or a coup plot grin

Re: The NBA Begins by Manutd19: 6:48am On Jun 04, 2017
If Aldridge can regain his Portland form, adding CP3 to that Spurs team will give them a better chance against the warriors.

Ehen. This is what you would say instead of the agaba gebe and higi haga about how the Cavs are taking on the Monstars from Space Jam and how it is unfair on everyone else without admitting Golden State's core is homegrown and they are allowed to go after complimentary stars like everybody else. The Cavs and Lebron are not even the ones to talk rara. We still remember the Heatles very well

Lebron will certainly not go down without a fight but I hope KD realizes the time is Now! He has to grab that ring like the POTUS was grabbing puna in his youth. This is his 10th year in the league. No excuses because Lebron is playing with house money at this point. This is why Golden State's chokejob last year vex me well. Your guy woulda been 2-6 and we would be talking 3peat

They'll be more physical with Steph like last year and force him to work both sides. I expect Klay and Draymond to step up offensively. And when you have peace of mind it's not Harrison Barnes guarding James.
The playoffs was boring enough. I just don't want the league or referee interference.

Even though this is 5 years late, that play was the official handover.

KD is a man now, he is not going anywhere. My prayer is he stays healthy.

Tony Brothers is a strong Lebtard. Scott Foster has a history of getting involved in refereeing scandals like Sacramento vs Lakers in 2002. I don't trust them.

Game is 1AM naija time which will be like 7 or 8pm for you in ATL.

They should just pray Klay does not get hot. He is going to be our Trump card in this game. I have a feeling they have prepared something for KD and I sense the refs will be giving them stewpid fouls just to make the game closer than it should be.

Javale McGee should have a big game as well.

Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 1:22am On Jun 05, 2017
Zaza and Draymond need to do better. Especially Draymond. That rushed 3 and the other fast break he should have dunked. Zaza needs to show poise under the rim.
