Gentlemen we have a series.
Once again the warriors steal one on the road.

Steph finals moment came today and he took it.
Make the oloshi whey dy him supporting cast sha step up

Roland17:
Before I forget, J. J Reddick is beginning to buy his hype, he needs to shut up!!

Facts, I just look as people dy hype am and denigrate Stephen A on very basic debates.

Stephen A has his faults, but we can't ignore the fact that this so called "old media" guys contributed to the growth of the league.
Even if you're a dummy, if you cover the league for over 25 yrs, you go sabi something and have a broad knowledge base of the league.

jJ is okay but he's still getting the new face love.

A 73 win team who just went to back to back finals, who lost the previous season in 7 and the game went to the last 4 mins won't have stood a 50-50 chance against the cavs the following year
.
Remove Harrison Barnes and add 2016 Giannis sef they would still have been formidable.

Of course Kevin Durant took them to another stratosphere but even without durant it wasn't going to be a gimme for Lebron's cavs

Blueelf:


Lebron was better than all GSW starting 5 without durant and you know it

If it wasn't so, why call KD and not any other "decent replacement"

Let's call a spade a spade. Curry chokes in finals and is very inconsistent. Draymond was never going to be able to hold Lebron. He is also an offensive liability

Cavs would've taken both series in my opinion

Baba I need some of what you're taking

If the gap wide reach like that why did it take him 7 games and a meltdown to beat the warriors.

Both teams were practically even at full strength. One team just had to win game 7 and it was the cavs, it doesn't mean the warriors couldn't adjust and win in 7 the following year.

Na drinking too much media Kool aid dy cause this Nonsense narrative.

Skrrrrrrr:



Lol. The people spamming that narrative are clearly being clever by half hence why I don't reply them. Saying LeBron would have 2 extra rings, had Durant not arrived
Makes me wonder whether it was LeBron's shadow that played the 3 games they lost before the meltdown. The warriors were running away with the title, then Draymond got suspended, Steph was hobbled, iguodala got hurt, Bogut got hurt and LeBron played the best Basketball of his career.
They ultimately won but no one could have predicted the outcome of their next matchup, no one knows for sure if the warriors would have won one, both or neither of the next two.
Durant coming simply eliminated any chances the Cavs could have had.

na Max Kellerman, Nick Wright them people.
Walayi KD is right to a large extent about the media.
Na Just creating faux personality on cold takes. Objectivity is not welcomed

It's just like the bucks welcoming back khris Middleton and the heat signing a Marque free agent and going on to annihilate the Celtics next season
And then people spamming a narrative that they could never ever have beaten the Celtics without those players meanwhile the preceding years the series between those teams went down to the wire.

Hana now.

Adding a superstar obviously stacks the deck in your favour but make we no forget say, it was already like an even match up previously.
Sometimes the basketball gods just choose who they want to win.

Blueelf:
GSW have a lot more to prove in this NBA finals

That the core can win without KD.

Should they loose, then Draymond Green should shut his mouth up and stop giving KD shit

This is an unpopular opinion among GSW fans but GSW wasn't winning those two additional rings without KD and all fans know it. Even the players know it. It wasn't a fluke that KD was the Finals MVP in the back to back wins. Curry is too inconsistent to be relied on in a finals game and he has showed it time and time again

Now, I'm waiting for GSW fans to come for my head

LOL how are you sure the warriors wasn't going to win at least one of those additional 2 rings.
The cavs needed a meltdown and out of this world all time performances from lebron and kyrie to win the previous year, yet it went down to the wire in game 7.
All while having the human brick aka Harrison Barnes in the lineup and draymond missing a key game 5 + but a hobbled but choking steph
They could have gotten a half decent replacement for Barnes and still be competitive against the cavs.

Abeg let's dead this narrative.

Of course, having durant made sure it went from a 50-50 series to a lopsided one and the warriors benefited massively from his presence.
But let's dead this narrative that it was a slam dunk for the Cavs to win.

Skrrrrrrr:


Nah brethren, I don't agree with this. Poole and Wiggins havé been phenomenal and the warriors are not gonna be here without them.
What I think Kerr needs to consider is starting Klay off the bench. Let Poole start as the shooting guard.
The thing with Klay is, he can takeover the next game and we'd just forget about his other bad games. And warriors do not lose whenever klay is hot, if Klay gets hot the next two games, away or not, warriors gonna take those games....

I have actually advocated for klay coming off the bench here but on klay matter... I prefer not to speak, make Klay stans no find me come

etidy:


If I speak on this klay issue, some parties will come for my head.

If the warriors miss out on this title. I think it's fair for steph to question why the warriors were stacking rookies when they are in win now mood.
A varying combo of kuminga, moody, Wiseman, poole or Wiggins could have landed a star player easily even if you want to keep the core 3 intact.
And you don't have to trade all of them, just a couple of them.
The hard part of course is trading for the right player but the warriors didn't even test the market.

I will keep Wiggins sha. If the warriors can get him to take a 20/year contract it will be just perfect

Skrrrrrrr:


Warriors could have been up by 2 if other people showed up. You know theré is a problem if the warriors second best player is Andrew Wiggins. Klay was just bricking wide open shots like madness, as for Poole, maybe he is having stage fright, being in the finals for the first time. He woke up towards the end of the 3rd quarter after Steph already set the tone. I hope he carries it into the next game.

MartinsD12:

Dem never see anything, atiku is definitely putting them in confusion I repeat no apc candidate can defeat atiku even their mini God buhari didn't defeat atiku in 2019 it was rigged to favour buhari we all know atiku won , this time around maybe Peter obi will if a miracle happens but if Nigeria decides to continue with this suffering and smiling by electing old politicians again nobody in apc can defeat atiku if you like put tinubu into 20 times atiku willl beat him hands down , presently apc is confused they never wanted atiku to become PDP candidate they were all hoping it will be wike so they can go and merry around right now they are confused

In that case, apc will rig atiku out again
But you see that presidency, atiku will never get it

Wait so it's now a crime for a public figure to use his platform to call for action against a societal ill?

A40:
Of course. If they beat Boston there is no argument to be had. Failure to beat Toronto however showed that the team was vulnerable without KD

Now if they fail to win even with his replacement and a younger arguably deeper team then we have to ask questions

lets ignore that Klay was injured and curry finished the toronto series with a hobbled Iguodala, alphonso mckinee and jordan bell as starters

This Boston team has played the Brooklyn Nets, Bucks and heats and have not lost a back to back game in this playoffs.
Abeg dead the idea of this series ending quick.
That defense is legit

benji93:
Honestly, I am looking forward to seeing that great defensive Boston Celtics team that everyone keeps harping about. This series could end quicker than many think. Stephen Curry better stand out in this one. What we need is a monster performance and an emphatic win in the first game, get Marcus Smart running into multiple screens, and let's see how the defensive player of the year holds up. Try to limit loose-ball situations, reducing the possibility of accidental injuries(there'll very likely be a lot of hustling in this one). Throw this young team into confusion, Ime resorts to sending double teams, then we end it in 6. .

Some say there's no weak link in the impenetrable Boston defense.
What do you say Curry and company? what do you say?

Duncan Robinson to me is the biggest disappointment. From been a pseudo-splash brother to a totally useless player.

With heats offense stagnating, I feel they could use him a bit sha

Skrrrrrrr:
Lol. Let me call it now. The Warriors are beating either the Heat or Celtics in 6 games Max....
Bucks versus warriors would have made for a more competitive finals. Middleton getting injured ruined all that.

LOL that's too optimistic.

A major determinant will be health, having Gp2 and OPJ back will be massive for the warriors especially Gp2.

I think both teams match up well with the warriors, more so the Celtics because of their length, versatility and explosive offensive options.
However. The main reason I am leaning warriors is because they are historically the best away team in the NBA
You are almost sure they will steal one on your home court, THE BIG QUESTION IS CAN YOU STEAL TWO ON THE WARRIORS HOME COURT.

That's the very difficult question for any opponent
