Dancing/In game celebration and chewing mouth guard is now a criteria for who's not the better match up for a NBA FINALS. Or the same Backcourt that eliminated Cavs in 6 in last year's Finals?? Or Westbrook that did his pre-game dance competition with Cameron Payne or his teammates in every playoff games?? what what has chewing your mouth guard or in game or pregame dance or humility got to even do with Playing and Qualifying for a NBA FINALS?? Man, I never expected you to say something this sort.

man, read the whole thing. I never said chewing mouthguard was why they were a better matchup or not. I clearly said backcourt matchp (ALL caps no good ). Man...

Eruditor:
1. OKC deserves to go ahead. YES.
2. They are a better matchup? FRAUD NO.
3. Cavs teams will Maul warriors? Comic relief.
4. Beating chest and raising one finger is him saying "God I am playing for you". He said he came up with it in college with his mum.

Now funny thing about OKC is. The way they have played this series against GSW is the way they alone could have played GSW.

They don't match up well against Cavs at all. It will be like Cavs vs Raptors. Each will steal close home games but Cavs will win because of home court.

OKC still depend on KD and Westbrook compared to a 3-man Cavs team.

Anyone who wants a Cavs vs OKC final, wants Cavs to win it. Period.

its more than that bro. all the "im baaack" and dancing etc...you realize the reason even durant is playing pissed is all the extra-curricular crap these guys do. I bet you the most of the warrior starting 5 dont have many nba friends... when you showboat excessively, you rub the general nba family the wrong way. but lets leave that alone..if you can make curry's incredible shots, beat your chest all you want.

On to technical issues. You say OKC dont match up well with cleveland. At which positions? Because the backcourt of OKC >>> than backcourt of cleveland both on offense and defense.

And the cavs stretch 4's lose their advantage. Love and Frye can stretch you defense and knock down 3's but guess what? OKC has 3-4 forward-centers who are happy to run around all day. And they are the leagues top rebounding frontcourt this playoffs, negating Love and Thompson's offensive rebounds.

So where is this matchup favoring cavs other than the position Lebron is playing

Skywalker5:
Humble?

you dont think durant is humble? and i dont see westbrook acting out

lolawilliams:
Lebron James, last name ever, first name greatest.. Eastern conf champion cavs
Cavs vs okc for finals

you used toronto's best rapper's most famous lyrics to hail LBJ on the night he sends Toronto packing? well played maam

okc deserves to go ahead and they are a better matchup. this cavs team will maul the warriors. okc has a backcourt that cannot only score, but can get physical. plus durant and westbrook are due one ring i think. did i mention they (westbrook and durant) are also humble, not dancing and beating their chest after every play. or chewing their mouth guard like its gum

As expected lol. Seriously, I'd trade DeRozan and get another equally capable scorer. These guys are too close, and they literally mirror each other every game. When one gets lost, the other follows....odikwa serious male bond here

Seriously, Toronto CAN beat the cavs. I expect them to win game 6 at home.

lovingT:
5yrs Wow. That's a long time to throw away.

Maybe. But its better to lose 5 years than to lose 6 years, or 10 years. Walk away, for your own sanity

lolawilliams:
the Cinderella story for Curry and company is almost over !!! credit to the Thunders , they didn't care about the 69 win,Spurs or the almighty 73 season by the Warriors.

Are you saying curry is a cinderella?

SIRcumalot:
how market A40 ?
maybe your boys should've won that first game,and retain their advantage.

A40 is a warrior fan? How did I miss that. loool market rough small. Series is not over though. Closing out warriors at home is a tall task!!!

lolawilliams:
Yeah would be fun to watch how we gon whoop their asss

this team will whoop cleveland, unless Lebron pulls off some sort of magic. If Popovich could not figure out OKC's game in time, I dont see how Lue will adjust to their crazy lineups

Mizzzbeee:
What do you guys think? Can we still take this?

No. Donovan is by far the better coach. GSW is playing at home next game which is a plus, but I dont see any adjustment Kerr can make which Donovan wont have an answer for. Unless warriors suddenly get physical and outhustle thunder

SIRcumalot:
an OKC player could behead draymond and the ref still won't call foul.
only few players could withstand being booed on every possession Draymond isn't one of them.

He kind of brought it on himself. Warriors are know as all-around good guys, and he managed to make his reputation as a dirty player.

SmooshCHN:
OKC really doing well

muhehehe... na just first half o

lolawilliams:
So youre a cavs fan. I just got tired watching the game, Cavaliers needs to make some changes!!

In my opinion if Kevin love and thompson really bleeped up in the game, was waiting for coach lue to bring in mozgov since thompson cant stop playing like a b!tch. Mozgov would have protectd the rim a lil bit.. As for love I really dont know what went wrong with him, cavs are lucky valenciunas didnt play... Cavs defense was so sh!tty and they shld stop isolating the god damn ball.

There is no big 3 in cleveland. Kyrie and Love scored a lot of points and rebounds on crappy teams that werent going anywhere. When it comes to playing contenders, you see Kyrie wilt, especially on defense. Love just looks lost

Donlittle:
These Conference finals is showing us something. Big's that can move their feet quickly are a problem. Biyombo, and Steve Adams. They are not biting for all that moves, just yet

very good point. if OKC meets cavs, OKC is getting a ring

SmooshCHN:
Leave Lola alone ooo Today let her rest

when did you become defender

Donlittle:
Alright so guys in the building, what do the raptors have to do to win away from home?

no one knows lol. There is some sort of mental block that affects Lowry and Derozan at the same time, often times on the road. Maybe because they are close pals? It was the same thing last year when they mentally collapsed in the playoffs. I wont be surprised if they get to cleveland, and lay another egg.

To answer you directly, i dont think they have the mental toughness to win 2 out of 3, one on the road.

Im liking the playoffs right now. Tonight is the first game I felt chills watching, starting late 3rd Q

SIRcumalot:
that curry 15 point run in the 3rd quarter did them in.
now if only I have enough faith in okc to win twice at home.

we half way there bros. it can happen. i should get a bottle of holy water for the next game just in case...

Mizzzbeee:
Ehn ehn so BIRDMAN IS A CAVA-"LIER" I know of Ewuro4, no be today, since last season when his beloved chumps Rockets lost to Warriors Salty dude. ...

Awesome to have challengers in lolawilliams, "BITTERLEAF4" , and BIRDMAN. Cool! You making this thread lively and interesting #WARRIORS Back to back CHAMPIONS!!! infact am calling them to 3peat

rockets is my hometown team o. Other than that, I dont have favorite teams. Just favorite players, for example his excellency King James and KLove

In oda news, you might want to say a prayer for your warriors. I think Draymond gets suspended one game for trying to kill another man's future kids. all in the name of trying to repeat. haba!!!

Ewuro4:
Who said GS can't beat OKC? Yimu

Your NBA finals humiliation awaits and still doing warm up. Curry my foot.

i want a cavs warriors rematch bad. But Im not completely sure warriors get away from Thunder. Thunder lost that game because they lost concentration - Curry was getting wide open and transition 3s. If Thunder tightens up, this series can go either way.

Either way, HRH James and the boys await

SmooshCHN:
Adams Balls

lmao. u need help

SmooshCHN:
Today's game, excellent composure is needed.

like not staring down your opponent after every 3 you make?

back to more interesting topics

I expect to see Curry take very few parking lot 3s this game. Warriors are great because they run their offense so well. Those parking lot Curry 3s bailed them out against lesser teams but I expect to see them return to disciplined play this game.

I's predict curry having half as many 3s this game and warriors win. Im not betting this time o

igbo2011:
He serves his people not the corporations.

well, he just handed his people over to china. is that supposed to be better?

lolawilliams:
I cant stand over 8 baby curry fans, imma lay down or sit still. All y'll do is kill a good athlete's vibe.
We trying to get the ring. That's what i'm after.

I posted a video of Draymond after they won the 'ship last year. Watch both parts of his 1 minute interview, especially where he taunts the losing team and names names AFTER winning the ring, something which no one has ever done. Very classless and childish no? But fans who will overlook this from Green will still cite being classless as a reason for hating other players.

Fact is, you love who you love and hate who you hate. A friend was ragging on Lebron the other day. I told him to name the top things he didnt like about Lebron. So he names them. Then I pointed him to instances where Curry, his new fave player did the same. He paused for a second or two, then moved on to another topic as his own inconsistency became clear to him, even if only for a few seconds.

Me I like Curry personally off the court, especially because I follow his tweets, and his stance of faith makes me respect him. But he has had a lot of annoying antics on court this year, far more than last year, many which would be considered classless if someone else tried it. So stop trying to defend players on the internets. Its a waste of time

Lol. you'ld have been in debt... Raptors over cavs?

8 days rest, while the other team is hot. sounded logical to me at the time. maybe its a good thing i dont gamble lol

Donlittle:
you lucky you did not bet. Fam, this a blowout

I swear. I hate how the raptors just disappear under pressure. You would think Lowry's toughness would rub off a little. Derozan, man...

ALL LBJ teams have been naturally lazy. They try to coast until they have to play hard. Either coach is having an effect on his childhood pal, or something has these guys stirred up. Or raptors just suck smh

arresa:
Ambode no dey waste time...



I Love Lagos state I swear...

see as e dey tenu mo 13% derivation

lolawilliams:
I feel lebron once eliminated your team from playoffs, that's why you hate him, or whats your reason?

Making the ECF every year like its breakfast will do that

In other news, Game 1 is perfect for the raptors to steal. 8 days is a looong time and I dont see cavs getting into gear until 4th quarter. Raps have the momentum and a much superior backcourt - this game is theirs to lose. If I were betting, I would bet raptors tonight and make a boatload of money

You top 10 players this season if you have time..

10. Carmelo Anthony
9. Russell Westbrook
8. Deandre Jordan
7. Kevin Love
6. Chris Paul
5. Marc Gasol
4. Damian Lillard
3. Lebron James
2. Blake Griffin
1. Kawhi Lenard

Guys that should be on my list but are not.
1. James Harden - sell this guy while he is high please
1. Curry - man if anyone else in the league showboated the way this guy does, you would hear about it

eleyi o tobi abi? lol

Yes!! I thought the lakers fans were bad, but mehn, warriors fans are the most self-entitled bunch I have come across. Good to see them eat a loss at home - wheres all that dancing now Curry .

Good job to Donovan, who didnt panic on those crazy curry 3s that were falling early - stick to the game plan. The warriors backcourt is deadly on scoring, but they are soft. Just outphysical them, and if they can still make those 3s, live with the result.
