Lolawilliams and Ewuro4 hope you are watching?? TSK OKC we can't beat my ass angry wasn't even bothered about game 1, we should have won that game, we were just complacent. Just so you know am still calling it Warriors in 5...
SmooshCHN dnt mind their play, this season it's all about beating the odds against them. And a lot of odds they have scaled through. This won't be any different.
They obviously are not watching. Are you watching?? cheesy cheesy Iguodala is driving me crazy.. We keep this defense, Burbosa, Barnes and Livingston steps up and less turn over from Curry and we're ready for Cavs in 5 cheesy

It was the moment he jumped into the crowd. That was why he went cold during the 2nd Quarter.

Your confidence is infectious. You are so right about complacency, but more than anything, the ball movement was non-existent last game and it is very evident today along with good rebounds at both ends of the floor.

More of same Game 3, I beg GSW.

FT OKC 91 GSW 118

yup Curry tried with the TOs today. He had 13 in game 1 and 7 tonite. Blowout game by close to 30 points grin Warriors has beaten the major contenders by at least 20 points except OKC in the main season. OKC got theirs tonite. grin

Yeah true, infact I witnessed alot of iso/hero ball and some unbelievable heavily contested shots these guys were taking shocked. Shooting 3res when you are just down 2. Was wondering if driving to the basket needed a flight ticket undecided

Knicks about to announce a new coach former Phoenix Suns head coach Jeff Hornacek.. Any comment??
hornaceck is a very good coach, would have preffered him going to a team without a "superstar" in melo. I think the east would make the playoffs with him, i am most likely sure he is not into running the triangle. They are still not a contender for the ECF though.

Congrats on game 2 Warriors. try to get it together OKC and win this thing. I DON'T SWITCH UP, IT'S STILL THUNDER UP!!!

KD was on an offensive mission.. His jump shot looked spot on in the game.Westbrook and supporting cast was kept quiet and that's the reason they got blown out. Hard to win with one guy firing and not many others. And I ddnt expect that weakness from kd in second half.. This looks like the strongest western conf finalls in decade. Im really enjoyin it. S\o to curry too. Hes a good shooter

Well im a cavalier.. i'm waiting for anyone who qualifies ?D

I dont think thats the reason. The reason lebron bcame one of the world most hated athlete is because of his move to miami heat.. And after four season in tge south beach. He felt he has done his hometown wrong, something he ddnt realise four years ago.. If he left heat cause of the old players, he wouldnt hve gone to cavs back.. He'll look for a better team
I like your argument but I disagree and here is why. I for one didn't hate LeBron because he left Cleveland

That aside do you think if Wade and Bosh were in their prime he would have left? Part of the reason he left the Heat was because he knew guys like Pat Riley would not dance to his tune. Going back to Cleveland where he is the 2nd coach, GM and has the owner at his beck and call ready to spend was a no brainer

I hope you know Cleveland have the highest payroll in the league
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 10:44am On May 19, 2016
Series tied. No surprises whatsoever

Its almost like the return of Curry has made everyone else lazy until last night

You can't blame them too. Who else can drop 15pts in 2 mins.

Very balanced display by the Warriors. 7 guys in double digits. Steph took just 15 shots and finished with 28pts

As the series swings to OKC it would still boil down to how well the supporting cast of the Warriors can play, the Thunder don't have such depth so have to hope for a perfect game from Westbrook and K.D

They do have the length and athleticism to bother the Warriors. I personally want to see how often Kerr uses the "death lineup" in OKC

It is beyond Warriors shooting prowess and that's what some of us have tried to let you see. Surely, Cleveland have looked the most impressive team in the P/Os but you need to understand why the scale still tips in the West's favor.

Any of Spurs, GSW and OKC defend better than what we see from teams in the east. Cleveland have moved the ball well and most of their 3s have been uncontested yet they are just shooting 45% from there. Compare that to the west where you constantly have to make your shots with someone's hand in your face literally.

That scenario means that Cleveland's 3pt percentage will drop, and because most of their blow out wins have been predicated on their good shooting from beyond the arc, they will have to come up with better play than just iso ball with Lebron or Kyrie.

See how quick and Athletic Russell is yet he had a difficult time finishing in the paint because that is what good defence will do to you. A team that averages 108 per game or so in the P/Os was pinned down to just 91.

Even though I think it will be easier for them to face OKC in the finals because they would have to worry about just 2 players, the message to Cleveland is, NOT YET UHURU.

No real hip hop head will not know about Royce Da 5'9. Atlanta have great artists won't say rappers. Though Outkast especially Andre can stand with anybody. T.I sef dey try back in the day

Its still hurting riley lebron left the heat..he even said it publicly.. But I doubt that was the main reason he left heat.. Wade was stil on fire then. Evn if bosh wasnt that better. If he had waited, they would have signed whiteside early. And you know that another champ for them... For a team to pick you for high school team without going to college ncaa.. You gotta show them you appreciate that, that was what he ddnt realiised when he left.. if cavs had won a ring, he would hve gone somewhere else, I think that was y he signed a year contract with cavs.. He thought he'll gt them d ring nd then leave but it never happened.. Even if he left heat cuz the players were gettin old.. I feel that wasnt the main reason

About the highest payroll.. Theyre really bothered about winning the ring, they dont care how much they spend.. Just that tristan doesnt deserve that huge amount of money.. I hope we trade him nxt season.. K.love doesnt deserve that also, $113m for 5 yrs is much.. I just hope we trade him for cousins whos more stronger nxt season

You want Cleveland to get cousins? Thats three franchise type of players, This is why we all have a problem with lebron. He plays with players that have already found their niche in the NBA. If cousins or K.love were franchise players in the east, They would be going deep into the playoffs. Semi finals, or Ecf finals bound.


Now imagine lebron having those franchise players as his supporting cast? The least man could do his win one or two rings.

Uhmm. I think 90% of nba professional baller wld want to play with players who have found their niche in the nba.. There was a cavs match I watch then the cunningham was just giving lebron some silli passes, you.ll notice lebron got really tired with that.. David blatt wanted to bring the lil boy up but he doesnt fit In nba yet, ppl like that are sposed to be in D-league..

Even tim duncan the person we never expected that from said it when asked bout sharing wisdom with young players he said “I wish I could be that, be that profound, and say yes, but no. Half the kids I can’t relate to. They walk in here and are like 'Hey,I had your poster on my wall when was five.’ I’m like ‘Man, shut up. Idon’t want to talk to you.'.. I dont think you should have a problem with lebrom about having good players in his team

He helped them win two rings so that's normal, but watch his actions not his words. There was a power tussle somewhere and the age of Wade and Bosh made it easy to decide on bolting. It would have been impossible to pay Wade, Bosh, LeBron and Whiteside. The Heat were drowning in luxury taxes then

Forget all those sentiments. LeBron is a very calculating ninja. He wants rings but he also needs love and wants to be in control wherever he is. With the Cavs he is second only to the owner. He can get a coach hired and fired. Determine what he wants to earn. So much power sorta like Kobe with the Lakers

Exactly! And that is easier to do with an owner you have by the balls and is willing to spend spend spend

Do you think Tristan would have gotten that deal if he didn't share the same agent with LeBron? Your guess is as good as mine

The Kings won't trade Cousins for Love. Not going to happen

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 cheesy
Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f):
Turn the Bleep up cavs and beat these raptors. Cavs all the way. Cavs r hungry for that ring. Let's get that ring cavs. Turn up fans let's go cavs..
10 straight win for us, Everything that's happened since last June has been brewing and marinating!!! The Cavs want and will beat the Warriors for the ring

Whoever says LeBron isn't the best player in this playoffs is clearly retarded!!!

I wonder how raptors beat pacers and heat.

In this Era Lebron is the only player who can actually play all 5 positions on the floor its amazing to watch. Haters will hate but he is king james and will go down as one of the greatest players to ever touch a
