A big enough threat to win the east but not big enough to down the Warriors. My take

Yeah. After hitting 41 treys in the past two games, we still cant take down the warriors... Until Christmas day baby grin

Besides, Cavs shot better 3pts than all teams in the last playoffs till they met GSW and thought it would continue. After they were walloped left right and center and were 3-1 down they switched back to nudging Klay and Curry while refs unlooked. Obviously they rebounded better and went to the rim without Bogut or Draymond. Then when games got close like in the 4th quarter of game 6 (and when GSW were definitely on the up) having reduced what was like a 25point deficit to 4 points, they counted on the refs to give Curry 3 flimsy fouls (which should have been 2 steals and a flop from LBJ) with the refs eventually ejecting Curry.

So we implore them to shoot 3points on the 25th of December and be reminded again why they were down 5-1 after playing GSW 6 times at that point by game 4.

Warriors won 73 games last season, lost 9

73 - 9= 64

They've lost 2 already this season

64 - 2 = 62

They've been to 2 NBA finals

62/2 = 31

The Warriors blew a 3 - 1 lead sad

All those are termed "EXCUSES" depending in which side you're on.. But how else can you come back FROM 3-1 against the best team in the NBA? It's all talent they'll say.. No help from officials or the league or whatsoever. Suddenly the Cavs were just too talented or too hot to handle or in my opinion cheesy

, we didn't play with enough motivation and fire

Harrison Barnes, Mr $95m, God help you wherever you dey.. My son will hear of your WOnders cheesy

Lol. They entertained their fans in regular season. 9 losses in playoffs isnt entertaining for a team that made a record of 73-9 in regular seaaon. Getting no ring to it just made it embarrassing.

And hey, there's a new way to mentally take curry out a game. Just give his wife a Twitter acct grin

About the B2B ring. Well, lets wait until playoffs to decide.

Nine loses spoke volumes about the quality of teams in the west , and the quality has just gone a notch higher.
My friend you'd agree with me that the Cavs are a LeBron injury away from becoming a meh team. Let's hope the injury comes in the summer grin

Brother, me no understand again oooo

I don't know whether na the ejection for game 6 make Curry play rubbish throughout the playoffs OR na the ref help LeBron and Kyrie dey score points. Even the Green wey dem for don suspend for WCF or Curry wey throw catapult for fan face, no suspension.

If na only Klay and Curry dem dey nudge, wetin come do bench, Barnes even Iguodala? Or Tristan wey bully Green for rim. I still dey research sha on how Curry bricks dey linked to hin ejection.

I don get the answer. Na because say Bogut no play sad

Sophistry.

1. Each time someone is put on the line another player from the opposing team is racking up fouls. It is the way it goes.

2. Played rubbish through out? Media narrative. 27ppg before the finals, 22 after the finals with a 3-1 lead. Yea, rubbish indeed.

3. Ejection day he dropped 30pts but make jokes about bricks so that masons will laugh.

certainly can't be compared to this conspiracy stuff we keep reading as a counter to every 3-1 joke.
we also didn't have Durant fall into our lap to soothe our wounds.
keep using the "curry not 100% fit" talk that one is better.

The way people go on about this 3-1 thing. Didn't the series start 0-0?

Key thing for the Warriors is getting competent play from their bigs. Curry and Klay's struggles fade into irrelevance if guys like Ezeli and Varejao didn't look like D-League players each time they hit the floor.

For all the talk of lack of rim protection GSW are 2nd in blocks. If they can replicate this in the playoffs then that would be problem for everyone

Clippers is just the basketball team version on Arsenal Fc. They will make the playoffs for sure but they aint getting no ring.

Hawks was leading half time and was thinking will the warriors lose the game. I feel those guys might be a threat in the East. Dwight seems to be better this season.
