SIRcumalot:

not with bron playing like this.
Tristan Thompson and Kyrie were the better player for long stretchs in this game.

Born is still and will forever be a Legend in the NBA, if there's one superstar I believe has the mental toughness to break this 1-3 series, its Lebron James, I mean even without their other 2 stars he was still mighty last year basically doing everything himself, if he can reproduce that attitude coupled with his team mates actually putting points on the board and some luck, I do think they can steal it..

@ Manutd19 Lebron isn't an ordinary player w/o that strength, since his early days at CLE, he was always known to have not such a good jump shot but with all those playoffs and coach brown he was developing it, I do think when he went to south beach he kinda laxed in that arsenal, yeah there's some truth to what U saying but just like if U take curry 3 pointer ability he did be normal or should I say Demar Derozan 2.0. Brons inside the paint game is very good its his strength we can't take it from him, he needs to use what he has but the thing is GSW shoot so many 3's that at some point U did be playing catch-up if U only opt for 2 hence JR smith, irving, Love, Jefferson et the other CLE jump shooters need to back Bron inside the post game


Also whatsup with Bron passing up so many balls its not like he's a natural playmaker or something ( although his talent can easily mask that) I had noticed this earlier in this year but I just thought he was just trying to lift his team but now its crunch time he needs to draw more fouls, attack the basket and hell just be a freaking super duper star like we all know he is!

Mizzzbeee:
DRINKMOREWATER you need it oooo.....

Well damnn! that was some weird ish, anyways it aint over, fingers crossed they can still turn this around but it sure will be hard!

SmooshCHN:
Yes you have the right to be a Fan..

My brother U dey look for trouble oh, don't worry I gat U!

Come all U GSW fans crying about who or why we support Cavs in the finals, We don't have to like them for 10 years before we support, we can just support em just because we have the right!


And if U calling Cavs supporters bandwagon fans, what bout yall GsW's eh.. When did even Gsw start making waves in the NBA, prior to recent years they've been one of the worst teams in NBA if not for curry draft or that monta ellis back then wetin dey make guys watch them? so u all supported the worst ugh?


Abeg make we just enjoy the game as one while it lasts.. Till Oct or Nov now before it begins.. sigh.

SmooshCHN:
It's still so funny some people have not shown up.. This is why I used the word "Bandwagon". Your team down just 2-0, no show, no defense as a fan, suddenly makes it 2-1 then crawled out for 10mins made noise and went back to sleep while some didn't even show up at all waiting to show up if they get the next home game to make 2-2.. Mhen!!! Shame on you Cavs fan.. I thought I dialogue with fans but today I know y'all are just .................

Whichever way Game 4 turns out, it's a Win Win.. GSW wins and you don't show up, Cavs win and y'all just confirm what you really are.

Lolawilliams, Drinkmorewater, Ewuro1..

Ok sure Game 4 will pivotal, but U really think Cavs are going to drop that at the O, no way.. if U say GsW in 6 I say Cavs in 6 also


Also am not a Cavs fan, I rep that south west alief texas, thats the Rockets!!!

Mizzzbeee:
you should be ashamed of yourself.. After all my mentions calling you out game 1 and 2, you were crawling away like a scared puppy now you are here crying like a new born fresh out of the womb nansense gerrarahere jare

When I was small... After watching Commando, I saw one screenshot where Arnold jumped outta the car while in drive, I did that naively in my moms car, she petted me on the street when she stopped... But when we got home let's just say I know 3 different languages of the name "Cane"


Mrs Curry U gonna get that treatment when U looooooooosssssssseeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

Mizzzbeee:
Just woke up guys, not really excited for today's game cuz I predicted Warriors will lose.... So that at least Lola, Ewuro4, BIRDMAN n drinkmorewater can come in here n save face How has Warriors been playing?

Mrs. Curry we all knew the Cavs had game 3 regardless of the fact that GSW haven't won a Game 3 playoff game!

Your husband was disappointingly very cold in the 1st half...


Now digest this! THE CAVS ARE GOING TO WIIN GAME 4!!!!!!

Donlittle:
Preciate everyone for the heartfelt messages honestly. Thanks Guys. Thanks, Again SmooshCHN lolawilliams Roland17 SIRcumalot Mizzzbeee Roland17

Pls accept my condolences too bro,


Never experienced it that close, can only hope I can be there for everyone


Life is a parallel algorithm of everybody's experience, I hope U'll go stronger and emerge bigger from this.

The Warriors have now diluted the Cavaliers offense for three games this past season.


I found it weird to see the Cavaliers attempt so few 3-
pointers in Game 1. Lebron is a Beast! Agreed but the isolation plays for him were too many and most they will get from those plays is 2pt ( you know how LBJ does..., charges at full speed from the 3pt line and volleys the ball agst the backboard, if the defender doesn't position himself well then its a dunk or an And1)


Tyronn needs to find a way to open up space for the Cavaliers to bomb away from three and get a few easy buckets. Because if there's one thing GSW are very good at; *its defending their 3pt line*

That said, The Cavs had an antibiotic for "Splashiosis". However they didn't see or expect the GSW bench players (the side effects)to step up ;which seemed naïve but it aint easy to do everything at once so they get a reprieve but also a loss.

After seeing the reigning NBA MVP (or Mr I-can-Do-Everything) Curry, hit way less than average I expect him to drop at least 20 tonight


Livingston won't have more than 17pts or damn lol even 15


Lebron & Irving to at least attain 20pts each, *fingers crossed on Kyrie*


Honestly I do expect GSW to win this game ( and even most Nairalanders will agree) but then again its the NBA finals bro.. where amazing things happen!!!!!!



Mizzzbeee U ready for tonight ugh?

Mizzzbeee:
I don't care if u r a cavs fan ooo. Ehn ehn I asked you, you said you are supporting CaVS to take the chip this finals so you would take ever banter thrown your way No switching ooo stay der to the end.

That drinkmorewater must be nervous, knowing he is about to lose his last savings

Don't mind her jo!

After the Game 4 west finals U were very serene & meek

All I know sha is that Cavs will take Game 2 or 3!

Now that's a bet even U can take

Mizzzbeee:
Lolawilliams ooo oooo, Ewuro4 oooooo, SIRcumalot oooooooo, drinkmorewater oooooooo, derrickfresh oooooooo. What's up! am just greeting you guys ni o

I greet you too B!

For a minute there, I thought this wasn't a 7 game series...

OohMpa:

Haha, After ousting SAS, I really thought they would go through, oh well miss some get some right?

Who do U think will get the championship ring?

Mizzzbeee:
the same way every other team has Nigerian fans mtcheeeew. He wants to play the bandwagon card . As I said before I don't do betting.. Too much risk is involved you started with don't "bet with me in game 1,then you lost. Repeated the same thing all the way to this point and uv lost back to back to back to back and you have the mind to call out another game in the finals You see why I hate gambling, it hates reality until all your money is gone

LMAO! "It hates reality until all your money is gone"

My dear it's not easy oh and its just luck really, all the stats and u'll still fail, but when U already knee deep in it, the only way to stop playing is to win, cos when U on a losing run U will always want to offset the loss by engaging, IMO

Anyway bee I can be your Gambit, can U be my Rogue?

Congrats Mizzzbeee and other GSW fans!!! ( Like seriously when did GSW start having Nigerian fans? mtcheeew, you guys will be alright oh )

You gotta lose money to get money Bee!
Sha don't bet with me in this final series oh

Kudos to the Thunders, great tenacity on a hostile court, But as a neutral, I'm puzzling over two things,

1)Why did Adams sit so much in the 2nd half?

2) Why did OKC stop playing pick n roll basketball and isolation more

They seemed so much more effective with Adams or Kanter on the court. The passing, hustle around the rim e.t.c


So basically we can say Klay playing out of his mind in game 6 was the most defining moment in this series!

Mizzzbeee:
you need CANE!!!!

Sigh, the thunders why , it doesn't look good for them game 7.. But if there was any team that could beat the dubs at the oracle, well that will be loud city (OKC)!

Although It might be very foolish to count out Oklahoma City in this Game 7; Curry’s shooting has been shaky for most of the series, and Thompson almost certainly won’t set an NBA record for 3pts in a second straight game!
If Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook perform like they did
in Game 3 and Game 4, the GSW effort in game 6 will just be swallowed by the annals of time


Durant has quietly also had a poor shooting series ( about 30 something % thereabout), thereby allowing Russell Westbrook to fill up the stat sheet and take over games, but Russell's decision making at times has been costly against the Warriors.


Golden State is unbeaten in their two chances to close out
a series this year so in as much I would like em to lose, its looking unlikely. If OKC really want this match then they really need to be efficient with their shot making and limit the splash brothers 3 point plays because those 3 points at the end really add up, *remem game 6*


Prediction ; Already betted that OKC got this series but I think this will be their last piece of action in the playoffs . GSW Win..

It was a good game, for the neutrals, but really OKC should've somewhat closed this game 5, they just couldn't buy a bucket in the first Q and then screwed up by allowing that 8-0 in the beginning of the fourth

Also GSW need to clean up on their dumb mistakes and give Bogut the ball more in the post for crying out loud!


The refreeing though... Lol

Pre Game Forecast;

Curry to have at least 28p from at least 4 3pointers, at least 2 3pointers in 1st Q


Durant to have at least 25p with at least 7 rebs


Ibaka with less than 14p


Keep in mind the foul situation can greatly tip the scales

If OKC gets caught too many times being over aggressive on the pick and roll defenses, things can change, I'd look for them to stay aggressive on the interior screening but be careful on the perimeter until they can gauge how the ref will call the game. Regardless, OKC has proven that if they can wear down Curry's legs early on with aggressive defense, his shot can falter late, the key is his legs, no legs no shots!

I also would look for ibaka to have a lot of scoring opportunities in the 1st half. The Ibaka_Roberson inversion tactic worked brilliantly in game 4, and GSW can't afford to give Robes so many shots at the rim, plays involving Ibaka in the corner will/ should be frequent early on


Prediction: GSW win

lolawilliams:
Lowry and Derozan flops ppl take it for granted,Lebron james flops everybody loses their fucking mind.

My mind is still blown that people really thought the trash ass Toronto Raptors could beat LeBron and the Cavs in a 7 game series.. K.love , irving nd king had a great game today.. lebron is getting his third ring

Cavs Vs Thunders. Finals

Cos Bron is more popular and influential than them in the world of basketball, every news 'bout him is magnified whether stupid, unnecessary or dull, Peeps still wanna hear bout him.

And nothing is impossible, Toronto can beat em in a series, don't take em for granted! Imagine if Bron got injured and is out of the playoffs, believe me Toronto gon have at least 50% chance of beating 'em ( not that am saying they don't have that chance now lol)


In btw that nicca bomani jones on around the horn is hella funny, U should see what he said bout Cavs and their playoff quest

OKC Vs GSW---------- OKC to go through

CLE Vs Tor----------- CLE to go through

OKC Vs CLE-----------OKC champions

Early forecast prediction

:Cleveland to win Tonight

: James to get at least 22points, 11 assists, 8 boards

:DeRozan to get not more than 20p

Mizzzbeee:
... And that was how drinkmorewater lost money after I warned him. You don't place hopes on a beat up truck like spurs. They are OLD

LMAO! This babe eh!? But am still winning nah, my 3 way picks were SAS, OKC and CLE... The ultimate "I got U" moment is when GSW wins it, which I don't think they will!

O boy!!! The funniest part you said;


"Also some silly
jobless guys in my street ve started making some move
towards her but as far as i know she rebuffs them."


My niggi, that's why they are jobless na, they gats do things to kill time

Anyways bro I understand all too well what U mean, but its better to make a move than to not make a move, because U will always be playing it in your mind later on that what if this, what if that

Also remem she's 17, she might like U now, but UNN guys don't play

Infact why don't U follow my rule

If U in the North, & the girl U intend to date is in the south more or less, please just leave her for the southern boys. Location really matters

What if once U relocate U meet another even better than her and U don't want to woo her because ur teenage chick is in year one?

My brother pls follow your male instincts and stay a hunter!

birdman:


We already lost our draft pick (part of the harden deal i think) and I have a feeling in 2 yrs Harden is out once his contract is up. Dwight is probably gone this year.

I say we have a good chance at Durant and Horford. Pau should be opting out this year I think, so if he doesnt end up in memphis with his bro, I think htown, with its huge hispanic population may give us a second look (same for Horford too).

Finally, I have a feeling the GM Morey will be taking a fall for this mess (and he is digging his grave by over-tweeting), and we will likely get a coach that also doubles as a GM or something like that. JVG is supposedly a top candidate, but the last time they fired him in a very low down manner. Lets see how much money buys JVG's forgiveness

Nah forget JVG!!! He's ancient...We need someone else with a load of experience or just take a chance on a mid experience coach that can bring back the enthusiasm back to Polk street but still we need to tweak that squad and get an upgrade on beverly or get another aggressive shooter

We were hoping we would get Orlandos Howard or at lest an improved version but the guy is now more calm, rebounds used to be his bread and butter, now am seeing bogut, green and barnes jumping higher than him for a rebound?!?! Mane that is just wack straight up!


Hispanic yeah or maybe we should just sign an asian so the centre can always be full

lordthree:


This is sad, have you spoken to someone about this?

Not really my brother but Its all good tho, am not mentally scared or ish. In a weird way I think it made me have better relations with girls.

Mizzzbeee:
who is Ms buzz? Am a Warriors and wolves fan it's well known here now.... And yes Rocket should be an easy sweep for us

Minnesota? Really? I didn't see that coming, am guessing U lived there thats why U reppin 'em
?


Mizzzbeee I was just doing word play with your name, hope U didn't mind too much?


Ah its like saying of recent, Barca vs Chelsea in a best of 7 match series, we more likely know who gon win it but that doesn't mean Chelsea can't steal at least one match!!!

Mizzzbeee:
Rockets should be easy sweep Saturday by 8:30pm hmmm mamba would miss you

Chai Msbuzz na wa for U oh! Who be ur team sef eh?

SmooshCHN:
So Houston made the 8th seed.

My ex babe never liked deep penetration, "its always hurting her".

Donlittle:
You said a man single handedly won a ring, but now you are saying he had help?
He had loads of help, WADE AND BOSH WERE ALL STARS bro. RAY ALLEN IS A HALL OF FAMER.

if you are talking about players that single handedly willed their team to a championship, talk about Dirk.

LEBRON did not single handedly carry a team to glory. The year bosh and wade were not themselves, he lost. He went to cleveland, and lost because the guys he had with him were not up to the task yet. He did not will any one to a championship.

I was just trying to counter argue to those who did say "if I said MJ couldn't do it then how so for LBJ"


And so Did MJ ever win a championship just by himself,his high scoring stats always eclipsed the fact that he had at least one other good star in his team ( go check the roosters in his title winning season) yet peeps still regard him as the greatest and apply the term to him that "he can win a ring without a star around him"


You Mentioned Dirk , yeah good point there!

Let me counter? How bout Wade in '06?

Donlittle:
That man has never singlehandedly won a ring. He does gets get you to the playoffs and finals alone though. You must have forgotten why he took his talent to miami so soon? I Digress

Ok let's broaden this


1, Can U say Micheal Jordan can single handed ly get U a ring? If yes then remember Jordan team was loaded especially the second year of the 3 peat that had scotty pippen and even the '97 finals that was basically him as the major superstar, he couldn't carry his team! So yeah LBJ needed help in Mia ( I mean who didn't?)


2, Also are we both in accordance that the NBA has progressed dramatically in terms of talent, tactically and technicality (maybe not physicality but that's still debatable) since the 90's, can U say MJ alone will carry these cavs to ring w/o love & irving?



3, If yes .. Then Can U say LBJ hasn't in this current NBA years done at least more or attained the same greatness as MJ



At the end of the day, I think we should realize they were greats and greats undoubtedly can carry a team to the ultimate glory not withstanding
