wifi went out and came back on and it was a 9 points lead I think. Crazy

Forcing turnovers. Forcing bad shots. If Golden State weren't shooting so poorly this game would have been iced

Golden State's defense cinching and turning the screws. Houston cannot buy a bucket atm

bazkid24:
What we need is to get either Timo Werner or Paulo Dybala

Dybala would cost too much. Though he's a heavy upgrade on what we have already! I'd take Werner because he is quicker and Dybala's ghost mode would be difficult to swallow after paying that much.

But anyone but Robben and Ribery. If Dybala is what it would take to chase out those fossils then so be it

raumdeuter:
Coman injured at that time of the season cost him I think.

Wagner might be passionate but he just lacks the quality.

The team sef looks somehow too many off form players and recovering ones.

Hopefully they build up cohesion in training

Deschamps's selections are borderline bizarre! Didn't take Coman or Martial but took Thomas Lemar who only managed 3

I say make I enter ilu-oke. Had no reception. Nothing! So you can imagine my surprise returning to civilization and seeing that we were soundly beaten. I think losing out on the CL just killed the entire vibe of the team.

What can be said? If Kovac failed his first audition boy did he ace the second one!! Like I said previously I am open-minded about his hiring and if he can somehow step in and start holding the so-called leaders accountable (fingers crossed the board does not side with a player mutiny) maybe we can get back to where we used to be.

Ohh Lord!! Who shall save us from the uselessness of Hummels.

That our new Jersey fine like craze. God no go happy with me if I no cop am

A40, Should we now call Jupp a fraud?

73 year old fresh from 4 years retirement having spent €0?

Bros respect yoursef

Wagner is a bit blehh based on what I remember from the Confed cup. Coman also didn't make the cut unfortunately but at least Tolisso did

popizaino:
our performance in the ucl has always been disastrous but the only difference is that we always had drogba to bail us out don't come here blaming innocent hazard that did well for us that year.

Which year did Hazard do well in the CL? Aren't you people even ashamed? Small small boys like Mane and Salah have driven their teams to the brink of CL glory and you still hola Hazard like say na something good

I for like make Nihilist and Funlord take bets for this FA Cup Final. I mean if I'm Nihilist what I got to lose? if I'm Funlord at worst I return my winnings back or even better I win double

Roland17:
I don't think they have played poorly this series. I expected the Rockets to come out aggressive in game two. Curry's situation is not physical if you ask me. I think it is more of what the Rockets are forcing him to do, which is get him on the pick and roll at the top of the key and if he switches, go ISO against him. Listen to the post game of coach MDA and you would hear him agree with my stance. It is a deliberate tactics to go at Curry in a bid to disrupt his offense, which has worked in 2 games. If I was Kerr, I would move Curry away from the top of the key, move him to the wings and if they choose to drive at him from the wings, let the weak side help him. It is more mental and a shooters slump if you ask me and he needs that confidence in his 3 balls going in again. You can see his team mates rallying around him to encourage and during hurdles, Kerr tries to motivate him one on one, that tells me its more mental than anything else for Curry.

KD would always be KD, not sure there is a better scorer in the NBA than the man.

You mean Steph? I've not been convinced by Steph since his return oh. KD has been Golden State's best player by a country mile. If it were down to Steph and Klay alone I no know where Golden State for dey

The Rockets would not stop going ISO. It's what got them into the dance and you don't change your game in the 9th inning. And make no mistake about it they are very capable of stealing a game in Oakland

Like you said Steph needs to get taken out of the firing line so he can focus on finding his shot again. Because for the Warriors to blow this series open Steph has to Steph! The role players of Golden State have not impressed and it remains to be seen that they magically hit the switch now.

BarthramLestat:
George hills playmaking and passing skills leave a lot to be desired. As to LeBrons turnovers if you're the primary ball handler playing against a gritty defensive team you're bound to have a few of those especially if you're making the sort of passes LeBrons been attempting. Granted some a few of those turnovers were unforced and he needs to work on those. I do agree the ball needs to move around a bit more but the problem is like I said these guys don't have that ability to create shots and the only way to get them involved is if LeBron has the ball in his hands.

Game 3 will tell us everything we need to know. If the Cavs win I'm that 80% confident we can wrap this one up in as early as 6 games.

This is why I will always come back to that mid season trade. No new guy on the team wants to be 'the one that phucks it up'

This is not the George Hill that was running things in Utah last year and his tentativeness is understandable.

LeNomad is always trying those Hollywood passes and therein lies the reason for those turnovers. I think George Hill while unable to match LeNomad's flash would be able to create simpler and more efficient looks like we saw in spurts in Game 7. If the 3 isn't falling then there has to be another way the Cavs need to find to win

The likes of Hood and Clarkson can actually generate their own offense. The problem is one is a mental midget while the other is way too inefficient.

Barring injuries you are not beating this Boston 4 straight. Forget it

BarthramLestat:
The Cavs have a tendency to let half time leads slip especially in the third. Don't know if it's complacency or fatigue but they need to figure out how to fix that. They usually lose games either in the first or the third. My key would be for LeBron to come out as aggressive as he did in game 2. Allow the role players to get theirs in the second and then go on an onslaught again in the third. We usually do well with third quarter leads.

They are still a relatively old team so that would explain some of the sluggishness. For me in order to avoid a scenario where LeNomad does all the work then your offense has to draw up more plays for the other facilitator George Hill. As well as LeNomad played he still had 6 turnovers that generated extra possessions for Boston.

For a home game I think its important for LeNomad to be aggressive but more importantly efficient as a passer as well. If he's going to make 10 assists and 7 turnovers then it kinda defeats the purpose. This was what etidy was trying to tell you that you attacked him.

BarthramLestat:
Nope. Eddie confirmed he talked and Al Haymon explained the $50m offer to him. He spoke to AJ and AJ said he'd take a paycut to fight in London. Your man doesn't want to take any chances, I guess after doing all the hardwork it would crush him if one punch from wilder robs him of this glory.

The story doesn't add up. Like you said and you sound convinced the fight won't go the distance so why should he care where it holds if he's sure he would KO Deontay if the money is right

Anyway let me double check this your story with my sources

Stephen Curry: Games w/ 1 or fewer three-pointers 2015 playoffs: 0 out of 21 games 2016 playoffs: 1 out of 16 games 2017 playoffs: 1 out of 17 games 2018 West Finals: 2 out of 2 games

birdman:
I feel u on this. Unlike Toronto, Boston is not afraid to get grimy. The cavs have no one to blame for defensive effort. To me this is why celtics have a better shot. Lue has to convince Love and jr and tristan to play with heart 4 out of the next 5

There was improvement in Game 2 unlike Game 1 where they got sodomized in the paint. I don't know if the Celts recover from that deficit in a road game. The Cavs however must know that their defense has to be consistent to stand a shot of winning! Because they face a team who would always bring a consistent effort defensively win or lose

Hardetayour:
I believe he doesn't need to hide him cos they'll still switch him on Harden. He should just guard Harden from the off and let him iso his ass out.

This my friend is a recipe for disaster. Harden might not shoot 9/24 again! The way he is blasting past Curry I don't recommend that one oh

Roland17:
I have been preaching this since the finals loss to the Cavs in 2016 and it is where I get frustrated with Kerr sometimes. It took him 5 games before he decided to move Curry away from the top of the key and out of the pick and roll on defense during that series as the Cavs feasted on Curry by being physical.

I am watching the same thing in this series and it is affecting Curry's rhythm on offense. I think he would resurrect from the shooting slump but Kerr has to find intelligent ways of keeping him out of the pick and roll especially when the Rockets switch. The Rockets must win one game at the Oracle for me to take them serious. If they split the series at the Bay Area then we have a must watch series.

I don't think Steph is a 100% which is why I find it borderline bizarre that he is guarding Harden on that many iso possessions considering the injury he suffered would surely hurt his ability to move laterally.

Harden is not shooting well and that's why the score was not uglier than it was plus it's also hurting Steph on offense! He's looked lethargic and it's hurt his ability to finish closer to the rim

Role players tend to play better at home which is why I wouldn't expect Gordon. Ariza or Tucker to shoot near perfectly while Golden State's reserves play like dirt. However this Houston team is not scared of Golden State and I wouldn't be remotely surprised if they steal a game at the Oracle. The Warriors are playing with a complacency that is part deliberate and part mental fatigue which kinda explains why KD is the only one that has really been consistent this postseason

BarthramLestat:
A40

Al Haymon has explained Wilders 50m USD offer, your man has decided he doesn't want it and wants to fight in the UK instead. Lol WTF? Why do you thinking he's trying to avoid fighting in the US? You can't tell me he's afraid of officiating or judges because this isn't a distance fight. First wilder didn't want it because he's lying, then where is he going to get 50m from, now this?

2 2 chicken, nandos.

Where una dey hear all this fake news? The Eddie Hearn I know will not turn down $50m straight cash. There must be a detail that is being left out and last I heard negotiations are still on

Defense 101. Don't let James Harden go to his left! Kerr needs to do a better job of hiding Steph.

It's unlikely the Rockets do not keep attacking a glaring weakness in a series like this.

For me it would still boil down to the secondary scorers showing up. 1-1 is not a bad deal for either team. I can see this series going to 6 games at the very least

birdman:
You seriously believed the cavs would sweep the celtics? I will take your word for it. Even with lebron dropping 40 10 10 a night the celtics are still the favorites. Why? Its a team game, and the celtics are a far better team. Did you see j r smith or TTs stats yesterday?

Of course as an LBJ fan, Im going to watch and hope. But this series is looking like a ghastly motor accident on 3rd mainland bridge already

The Celtics are not the favorites anything Baba. The difference is just the effort and how they are applying themselves. Also not having a blockhead like JR Smith kinda helps

To be fair to Lebron he didn't do much wrong. I feel he must be smart enough to know that he won't win this series even if he averages 45-10-10. At the risk of being labelled passive the other guys absolutely have to contribute. However even on nights your offense is off there must be a constant and that's your defense. They were good in spurts vs Indy. Toronto were too shook! But that's where Boston even with their shorthanded team always give themselves a chance. Cleveland must realize that unlike Toronto they are not merely going to outscore Boston.

This is where Lebron must also realize that even if his scoring and offensive abilities would suffer this team must be willing to knuckle down on the blue collar aspect of the game like Boston are doing. It has to start from him and then the other guys doing their jobs defensively!

BarthramLestat:
Good points. But you left out the most important one. They need to make their friggin shots. Miss your first 14 3's, go 1/12 from wide open 3s? That's unacceptable.

It would be poetic justice if LeNomad and the Cavs did lose to this Celtics team that you've kinda underrated all year

BarthramLestat:
I told you.

Actually we all know LeNomad would play much better in Game 2. The key would be keeping the other Cavaliers quiet. This isn't Indy where they had just Oladipo and all you had to do is bottle him up.

There's more threats to account for. I want to see the adjustments that would be made. Lue would do well to give TT more minutes else Horford would keep sodomizing him offensively

LeNomad would do well to play a bit more off the ball and allow George Hill facilitate. He will not beat this Boston team by himself. So the other Cavaliers have to get hot as well

BarthramLestat:
Granted. The celtics defended well. He played horribly too as if he didn't care. I'm not denying he had a bad game.

Exactly its ebb and flow! You guys praise Lebron to the highest heavens when he balls so why do you pro-Lebron guys get upset when he is dragged to Hades when he has a bad game?

Roland17:
Baba, Ovy and the Caps are 2-0 and the series moves to DC. I have to admit the Caps are horrible on home ice.

Grossly underestimated the Caps being tired of losing. Beating your eternal nemesis without Backstrom and the fact that nobody expects anything from this Caps team has really helped them

They are already in the Stanley Cup finals if you ask me. Bad as they might be at home they are 7-1 on the road so I doubt they lose all 3 home games without picking up even one road game

BarthramLestat:
This little fool SMH

I know you're an im become but at least you should know how links work. I gave you a link, Jordan has 6 < 20 point playoff games in his career. LeBron had one today and suddenly this is why he can't be the goat

Plus LeBron isn't just a scorer like Jordan was. He had 9 assists too FYI. Let's not forget that. How about we check games with less than 6 assists too?

You forgot the 7 turnovers?

Leyqute:
