Not a chance. I did not log out after making my "complacency" post perhaps that's why I was still appearing online. I didn't watch the game so I depended on livescores (hence no posts). As for complacency, I typed that when I noticed the 14-points differential shrink.

I don't understand what the gallivanting is about. GSW squandered a 14-pt lead at Cavs ground and lost by 1 point to the NBA champs? They didn't lose by 6 points or 32points?

Roland17:
Even the most ardent Warrior fan has to accept there is substance to the "Choking" argument.

KD was spectacular on both ends of the court. He single-handedly played the Cavs in the first and second quarter.

They choked. There's no 2 ways about it. But they have accepted they won't take moral victories this year- They want a ring and nothing else so they better make all these mistakes now and not make it at the playoffs.

Niggaa been talking s.hit like they got a broken jaw. Cant believe Warriors blew their lead. This team choke as hell.

Cant belive niggas think its complacency when you chill and not say a word but watch a game. Shame Shame Shame.

Type shame long enough. Type it till Curry sees it in San Francisco. I want his feelings to get hurt like someone I know. Hope he responds like that person did (without the help of refs ofcourse).

Lol. A CIA would hve done better twisting the "Complacency" post. Lool. ""As for complacency, I typed that when I noticed the 14-points differential shrink"".

How does it relate with that. You forgot you also added "shame" to it.

So for Cavs to prove that they're the real NBA champ. we have to beat you the way Spurs did on the opening night or the underdog Laker team beat you by 19+pts??

Those are excuses man. Your team choked

Let me tell you how livescore works. You hit the refresh button and then the scores change. I hit refresh sometime 4th Quarter and saw 94-80. I went on to do other things. Came back and hit refresh and saw 103-105 in favour of Cavs so I typed "complacency and shame".

I guess you knew better. I just saw Ximo Pierto's H/Ls on YouTube about how some player held on to the rim following a dunk and didn't get a technical for it. Or how Jefferson tripped KD and refs unloooked. Let us call it home court advantage?

As for real NBA champ and the rest of the drivel. I wasn't referring to Spurs or Lakers. Some other team, when they were champs. I believe they beat you by 8points and 32 points before the playoffs. So the celebrations over a 1pt win at home by supposed champs is flummoxing (for lack of a better word).

Maybe a confidence booster for the cavs but warriors shouldn't be down either, they were ahead for almost the whole game.

Actually, it is anti-GSW fans that are coming up with that excuse. At least here on NL I doubt anyone has said it was just a regular season game.

What I am saying is, I am happy they can afford to make the mistake now, not in a game 7 of an NBA finals.

I believe there is a rematch in January. We would use that game to see if they have learnt from their mistakes and by how much.

Give it a rest babe, the Cavs didn't win fair and square grin

.As always, they get helped by the refs : James should have been called for a technical when he made the go-ahead dunk. He himself admitted to it. And Jefferson fouled KD when he tripped him with 3secs left, that too was glaring.
Anyways, The Cavs won, that's the most important takeaway.
But generally speaking. is it safe to say Cavs are a one man team? Loosing to the lowly pistons cos James sat out the game. That's 0-3 this season. For a team that boasts Love, Irving and other ~~veterans~~ specialists, one would have expected a better showing against a team like pistons. What happens if he picks up a hammy or a broken finger in the playoffs?

Warriors fans and excuses are like, you sabi that man pic na wink

. LeBron got more juice than Green, not my fault he wasnt given a technical

Lool. Since we lost to the lowly Detroit cause LeBron sat out, You got tell us why the full Warriors team lost to the Lakers and D-league Grizzles team. You can call detroit lowly, but they were among the teams that burstd your asss last regular season when the Warriors where hot.

Nothing can stop us from sweeping Pistons just as we did in the last playoffs if we meet again.. Still waiting for the game you guys are gonna sit KD out

Like seriously bruh? Ok they have arguably one of the best defense and they can annoyingly slow down the game to kill morale (the soccer equivalent of parking the bus) but let's be frank with ourselves, thats just that for them.
They would need Aldridge, Leonard and Gasol simultaneously blowing hot, which isn't gonna happen. IMHO

A40, my Oga. Merry Xmas. Ur input is highly needed here o.

Lool. First things first. LeBron shoulda gotten a tec, and that was a foul on Durant. The NBA have come out to say this

With that being said, the Warriors once again pissed away a very easy win.

I watched the game from start to finish and my thoughts.

Kyrie Irving is a BEAST. I have not seen a player display such clutchness in a while. With the game on the line he demands the ball and plays fearlessly. This is what the Warriors have to fix! They need to look within themselves and identify who would be the Closer in that team. It clearly can't be Durant with the way he faffed around on that final play with a smaller and significantly older Richard Jefferson. I would nominate Klay tbh

The Warriors have to stop enabling Green. It is possible to play hard and with grit without being a nuisance. He is a father now, small sense and maturity suppose don set in.

Iggy is a broken man, he clearly shook and he better accept anything the Warriors give him because he adds very little to the cause nowadays

LeBron's shooting has improved which is remarkable. Because if you watched him up till 2009/10 his mechanics were laughable and his J unreliable. I know it still comes and goes like Glo network but if you saw him back then you would be marveled at the confidence he now has in his treys

Curry dey phuck up big time. Its high time some scrutiny is sent his way. The kind of passes he and Draymond throw at times its like they think they are at Rucker Park. Even his coaches don't trust him on defense in key possessions. I know he is slight but slighter guys dey like Isaiah Thomas wey still dey play hard.

I also saw ninjas settling for layups where they coulda dunked (K.D and Green the only exception) you are setting yourself up for intimidation. That is why 36 year old Jefferson was posterizing Durant and Thompson

Manutd19:
Warriors definitely can finish this Cavs easily but for some reason, they keep choking.

I don't get it. They were totally in control of that game, how they folded in the 4th is bizarre. I want to see how the Cavs and Spurs play out. Though I still think only the Warriors can stop Cleveland. They just need to play like it

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:43pm On Dec 27, 2016

Btw when are the Knicks going to hand the keys to that team to Porzingis. Each time I see the same ol Melo ISO I die a little inside
