Barnes is stepping up

SmooshCHN:
He's rooting for Cavs.. Not everyone's bold to say that. The low key anti GSW is real

on mobdro check ABC channel

Donlittle:
we all know who i am rooting for lol. I just prefer not to trash talk

No ooo.. My trash talking begins from now sef

IGUODALA James's NIGHTMARE

SmooshCHN:
Mizzzbeee is there way I can increase the quality of the stream on Modbro? The sound goes off on its own.

No dear you can't increase the quality of the stream. Mobdro ws created to be data friendly hence the 480p quality. After the game I wud recommend some HD sport apps for you.

Donlittle:
lol please dont jinx it. i have been mute since, just waiting till someone lifts the trophy before i talk my mind

lmao very funny, you would talk after someone lifts the trophy ke. How wud we knw who u wer supporting?

I am so happy that when it's all over, Cavs would be out of excuses! They have been well rested and had an easy playoffs path. Warriors have been battered and just cme off a true nba finals match with okc. I don't see a game 7 happening. We should be able to close this out by 5 or 6

Derrickfresh:
am in support of the CAVS in the finals am not their fan tho

aii that's cool but just curious what's ur team?

SIRcumalot:
then you really haven't been paying attention.
I have never been pro-warrior.

@mizzzbee add birdman to the cavs wagon.
there can be no neutral in this final.

good true Roland17 I know you bleed green but what is your stand this final

So SIRcumalot, lolawilliams, Ewuro4, drinkmorewater are for Cavs who else ooo come out or forever hold your peace.

SmooshCHN:
Actually as I said in earlier thread, LeBron has become less the trash talker and the usual annoying guy.. I don't think he hates Curry too. He just knows his doom and tries to act calm about it like a boss he thinks he is. In today's practice he acknowledged Curry as the deserved MVP and said "It's amazing what he has done to in league". I don't think he hates Curry.. Tomorrow, all talk aside. We are taking Game 1 in big fashion.

I know he doesn't hate Curry... See this is reversed psychology... He kinda knows the scale of balance is tilting in Warriors favour. So he trying not not trash talk and remain humble. So that just incase he flops. The pity party wud have something in his favour

Your defense is weak AF
Harden: Signed AF.. Hmmm who could that be?

Yea i just watched it and i was laughing my head off. Its like they have placed a curse on Lebron. i was reading on yahoosports and a lot of them a rooting for Lebron. they think GSW are kids who just got lucky. i mean really?

yeah they do! The other episodes about Kobe n Curry was so funny.

I strongly believe that's why GSW wud take the chip. They have something to prove.. People haven't given them the respect they deserve, even Lebron questioned Curry's MVP. Just because people think they got lucky. Saying 24-0, 73-9, 400 3ress, 17points OT, 12 3ress in a Game, 11 3ress in a playoff game, Draymond's record, winning 4-3 after a 3-1 deficit means nothing without a ring. So we will see now!! I can't wait

Mizzzbeee:
This Game of Zones is funnnnnnnnny

SIRcumalot:
offensive rebounding is very very important and hopefully Thompson can bring it. the only reason am not sold on him is that the last championship game plan was design for him to grab rebounds after Kevin and love went away that won't be the same this time.
draymond can neutralize love in fact Thompson go start the 4th quarter.
Frye should start and he would pull whoever Kerr plays as center out of the paint opening up driving lanes.
and LeBron still dey.
the cavs can't get into a three point shootout them you can beat them like that.
I like the idea of LeBron finally winning one for Cleveland,but this warriors team sha.

;DI know rite

lolawilliams:
Wait for the surprise . Cavs in 6

SIRcumalot:
I haven't watched a cavs series since the 4th game against Detroit in the first round.
only highlights.
so my feel for the team isn't so good.
can they replicate what gave OKC those wins three times in a series?
because that is the way to beat this warriors team.
I no believe this tyron lue guy.
even the time warriors play horribly,they just start making crazy threes.
I wanted OKC for a reason.
am not making any prediction,still I hope for a cavs win am tired of warrior fans.

lolawilliams:
CURRY!!! Cmon and see if that lockeroom still smells like champagne. Them boy are healthy now and are up to something
GO CAVS GO. City of cleveland has waited enough.

I am sure it still does

KD said it in his post game 7 interview when he was asked whether GSW seemed to have had it easy at the 3-pt line: he said the shots that GSW made in games 6 and 7 to win were the same shots they had missed in games 3 & 4.

Apart from games 2 and 5, OKC dominated at the boards and paint and with exception to game 5, they lagged behind at the 3-pt line but the underlying truth is that had GSW shot (in games 3 &4) anything close to what they did in Games 6 and 7, those blow-out losses would have been way much closer and they may have even won those games.

The point here is that the Cavs have been impressive in this 2016 Playoffs largely due to their 3pt shooting. But in GSW, they face a team that not only defends better than them as a team, but one that also defends the 3pt line better and are at either position 1 or 2 (behind the SAS)in the whole of the NBA in defending perimeter shots.

To add insult to Injury, GSW (as a whole) is a significantly better 3-pt shooting team than the Cavs (even though Cavs have a better% as far as the P/Os go) and should their sparring be limited to shooting 3s- I sense it will be an easy series for GSW.

Without sounding too smack, the WCFs series has exposed GSWs frailties in handling taller and more athletic teams but it doesn't appear they would have that challenge with the Cavs. The margin of both offensive and defensive rebounds that GSW suffered against OKC will not exist in this series. The points off fast break points or the efficiency at the free throw line will also be curtailed as, save Kyrie, the other paint scorers in the Cavs team are not that fantastic at the FT line for e.g, Lebron.

I think it is safe to say that Cavs may need to switch their game to accommodate GSWs and when it fails, they better hope those wild 3s drop for them. They are a good passing team, with a mega super star in Lebron and a good scorer in Kyrie, so I expect each of the games to be close.

My antecedents for supporting GSW on this thread is well-known so I guess it should come as no surprise to see me lean towards them and say they got this in 5 or 6 games. I am not trying to disparage the Cavs- I do not see a game 7 in this.

But nothing is set in stone.

GSW in 4

Nah Lebron James would never allow a sweep. Even if he bleeds I'd say Warriors in 5 cuz I want the championship celebration at oracle

I think Klay has been the best player for the Warriors so far these playoffs. Doing the work he did on Lillard, Durant, Harden and still putting up his numbers. Not sure the Warriors care though. Ola Inu kan wa

Truth

Derrickfresh:
lol....now u got me laughing at myself, thing is I haven't really followed the series lately didn't know the last game had been played already......chai Derrick u mumu o

lol it happens dear!! i know most Nigerians are soccer fans and basketball plays second to them You are welcome. Hope you watch the finals sha it promises to be an epic matchup

Eruditor:
I doubt he needs your applause, he is already the unanimous MVP. Klay gets all the praise he deserves but anyone questioning Curry is watching a cooking show and not basketball.

Curry has averaged 27.9 ppg, 5.9 asts and 2.1 stls against this OKC in 7 games. What other contribution is he expected to make?

Against Rockets he had touched them in game 1 scoring 24pts in just one half but was sat out for 85% of the 2nd half. He wouldn't play again till game 4 where he got 6pts and was injured for the rest of the playoffs.

Yes Klay carried the team in his absence but after they lost game 3 to POR, Curry came back and dropped 40pts in that game including 17 in OT. I guess it is safe to say without him, they won't have won game 4. He subsequently dropped 29pts in game 5 to wrap it against POR.

In this series against OKC, he carried his team almost single-handedly in game 2 when Klay struggled a bit, and even though Klay had moments in game 4 when he was pushing his team while Curry fluffed, the MVP redeemed himself in game 5 dropping 31.

Definitely the most significant moment was Klay's 11 3pts against OKC at Chesapeake to add to his defensive displays on KD and Russell, but Curry helped close out that day again dropping another 31 (according to ESPN.com) and 36 yesterday.

To put this into significant numbers both Curry and Klay are tied for most 3s in a WCFs with 29 each. In other words, Curry made as much 3s as Klay did over the 7 game series including a record 7 3s in the game 7.

Nobody is saying Klay is not the team's current Post-season MVP. We are just suing for caution to those who say Curry's contributions have been iffy. The numbers disagree with them, and numbers, as they say, do not lie.

YOU ARE THE REAL MVP I WISH I CAN GIVE YOU A BIG HUG

Skywalker5:
hahahahahahaha.ROFLMAO. i did not really digest his message well until you pointed it out. . That got me laughing. My boss just look my side like say shey this boy don dey mad.

Not only you....when oohmpa started his antics, i cudnt control myself. The looks i got around the office was piercing

Skywalker5:
Mizzzbeee, i am a warriors fan but the kind love wey you get for the warriors is almost similar to Queen James's fans. Its turning obsessive . You just dey counter any anti-warriors comment here.

Read his post. He is still waiting for game 7 at 10:44am

Seamareggae:
Klay Thompson has been the mvp of this year's nba playoffs...

That guy has just been great... I hope they get the championship... Warriors team are just a fun team to watch all day.. All night....

I concur
