Mizzzbeee:3peat?? Back to back isnt sure yet, you're talking of 3peat... I believe you know 16-0 in playoffs is way better than 73-9 in regular season  The Cavs gonna win the title now! There's no stopping em! I wonder where the warrior fans were 2 years ago 10 down, 6 to go #CavsNation #AllInCle |

Demare Carroll is just mad LeBron's been serving him his lunch since last year's series with Atlanta |

Lol I like how Cavs fans are getting all mouthy We will see if Kyle Lowry is the Same as Steph Curry or Demar DeRozan same as Klay Thompson |

A40:Azin i am happy they are so that when they lose, trolling would be so sweetttt that Ewuro4 never still learn since last season  |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:37pm On May 20, 2016 |
Mizzzbeee:I thought Ewuro was a Raptor. American wonder see wetin akpako don causeThe Cavs should actually be worried that they have not faced any adversity. When everything is going so smoothly and you are yet to be tested it is not a good sign. There are numerous weaknesses with that team that the opposition just haven't been good enough to exploit Ma worry o ma ya won ni photo 2 Likes |

A40:well,this is the warriors first test this post season and they already dropped a game at home. yeah,yeah the raptors are the east they still won more regular games than OkC. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 2:03pm On May 20, 2016 |
A40:His real position is small foward, he plays power forward at times too.. He was waitin for joe johnson to come to cavs so he'll switch to power forward permanently.. He can play power forward too |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:09pm On May 20, 2016 |
SIRcumalot:You do serious injustice to PTB if you think they were not a test for the GSW. I am 100% sure PTB would have taken atleast a game from Cavs at Oregon. Besides dropping a home game is not the big deal. OKC dropped a home game to Spurs and still won 2 away. Like Roland17 said, it is all about adjustments at this stage and which coach can outfox the other. Raptors winning more games than OKC during the regular season is because they played teams in the east more times than they needed to play teams in the west. |

A40:Warriors' opponents in the playoffs: Rockets - (41-41) Blazers - (44-38) Thunder - (55-27) Cavaliers' opponents in the playoffs: Pistons - (44-38) Hawks - (48-34) Raptors - (56-26) All youre saying cavs playing against weak teams. Hahahaha #CavsNation #ALLINCle |

lolawilliams:Seriously Lola comparing East regular Season to that of West.. I'm a heat Fan and I know how flawed me team was and still finished 3rd Don't do that again 3 Likes |

lolawilliams:Fanboys like to throw around a lot of myth and urban legend. The only guy I have seen since Magic that mans all 5 positions is Draymond Green. Na with beg and agidi dem dey use to ask am to play for Power Forward. He can't play there for an extended period talk less of Center |

lolawilliams:Lmaoo. Warriors swept the top 4 teams in the East during the regular season No long yarning 1 Like |
| Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 2:22pm On May 20, 2016 |
lolawilliams:Never forget.. There's difference in power when talking about the EAST and the WEST. The competitiveness is different. You play more eastern conference teams when you're from the East hence those Eastern teams have more wins than the western teams.. Cavs are playing on another level this playoffs tho |
| Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 2:24pm On May 20, 2016 |
A40:True. No Lie. As in you can't compare OKC vs Spurs to Raptors vs Cavs. You can't predict the West. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 2:28pm On May 20, 2016 |
Eruditor:I knew that already that why I started with yeah,yeah. Atlanta is way better than the blazers that sort of surprised everybody. The cavs swept Atlanta. Blazers was suppose to be cannon fodder,if not for the unhealthy clippers,There is no way that team wins one in Cleveland. You forget the spurs dropped one first. OKC has the advantage now. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 2:29pm On May 20, 2016 |
A40:celtics nd pistons nd bucks were not in top 4. Why ddint warriors sweep them? |
| Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 2:38pm On May 20, 2016 |
SmooshCHN:How come okc didnt use that power against cavs this season, we met twice and we won, first was on dec 17 2015 (104-100), second was on 21 feb 2016 (115-92).. Forget about power. Teams in the east are also strong At least okc should hve won one. You also can see cavs are playing on another level.. First time wey smoochCHN go praise cavs oo |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:41pm On May 20, 2016 |
lolawilliams:The warriors never lost twice to any teams this year, never. Going 10-0 in the playoffs is a testament to how good lebron and his teams are, no doubt. But do not forget no one can match the cavs in the east... Lineup to Lineup, Just wait till we get to the finals. The cavs do not have a westbrook, Irving defense is 0, he can not stay on curry..... By the way, Love has not been tested yet. Well, In the first series, he kind of did, till they went to hack a drummond, The games were usually close. You hack Drummond, Van Gundy takes him out... and K.Love just keeps on eating. With the warriors, it is different.... Love is going to have to defend Green... Green can shoot the three, can handle the ball, can shoot the free throw and can play some serious defense...... unlike K.love, regardless, do not compare your team going 10- 0 in the east with a team in the west. The east is weak. Has great has lebron has been this past 5 years, he has lost three finals to the west if i am not mistaken, Dallas, Spurs, and Golden State, could have lost twice to the spurs. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:42pm On May 20, 2016 |
lolawilliams:Lol vs the East Warriors were 27-3 West 46-6 |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:45pm On May 20, 2016 |
lolawilliams:Teams in the east are not strong, they are weak. It does not take a basketball god to know that. Only good team in the east is cleveland, and cleveland got swept by Golden state when GSW was at full force. Yeah, cleveland swept okc, i am not making excuse for them, but look at the scores, 104 - 100. That's what we are talking about... no one wants a team losing by 30 points in four games in a row. That's boring basketball. Super boring. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:47pm On May 20, 2016 |
SIRcumalot:The Cavs are not sweeping the Blazers bone that thing. Talent is not everything. Heart counts too. And the Blazers will beat any team at home. Go and ask the Cavs what they saw there in the regular season They swept the Hawks last year without Kevin Love so I don't know where the surprise is coming from OKC has no advantage unless they win both games at Chesapeake 1 Like |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:50pm On May 20, 2016 |
A40:Yo A40, How many pieces do you think the Blazers should add to become a real contender.... I think the lineup is good... Just have to get a better small forward. That core is really great. Magic is going to be good this year, i honestly see them making the playoffs with Vogel at the helms of the affairs. Honestly, Larry Bird played himself lol. I hope oladipo gets some shine.  |
| Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 2:51pm On May 20, 2016 |
Donlittle:Lol you should hve talked about the 115-92 and not the 104-100, was that a boring match? No it wasnt |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:52pm On May 20, 2016 |
The mavericks are not even that great this year, Lineup to Lineup raptors are better than the mavs, and we will contend with them with the way they are playing. I just think teams in the east folds when they hear the King is in town lol |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:54pm On May 20, 2016 |
lolawilliams:You talked about both games as if Cleveland dominated.... Its not Please do not act like when its two mins to go, teams will not foul, try to get a quick to send the game to overtime, or close the game, and then misses? The box score can be deceiving sometimes... what was the score 2 minutes or 3 minutes to go? I bet it was way closer than 115 - 92? Come on lola, you should know these things... But honestly, the teams lebrons are sweeping in the playoffs? Did they not win a regular season game? The playoff is a different animal. Do you honestly think if the playoffs is the best of 16 in the league, and not the best of 8 in each conference.... Only team in the east going far is Cleveland, and maybe miami. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:59pm On May 20, 2016 |
Donlittle:They need a bench contributor and a Power forward or center that can alter shots at the rim. The bench to take the scoring load off Lillard |
| Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:59pm On May 20, 2016 |
SIRcumalot:ATL is not waay better than PTB. ATL may have a better line up, but they are not way better. Shroeder and Teague are not better than Lilliard and McCollum. If analysts didn't expect PTB to make it into the P/Os, it is their own folly. That a healthy Clippers would have beaten the Blazers to the next round doesn't mean the Blazers would not have represented themselves well. They won that game 3 even before CP3s or Griffin's injury. I didn't say PTB would have won a game in Ohio, but in Oregon where Portland is. Anyone who has a contrary view should convince me how Kyrie would defend Liliard and who will take away McCollum's 20+ ppts. Spurs dropped 1 at game 2 and beat OKC at game 3 (away) to lead 2-1. With one more game at Oklahoma before heading back to Texas, the advantage was to Spurs but they lost games 4 (Seattle) and 5 (at Texas). So that advantage you are talking about is non-existent. They are playing a team that led them healthily into the 2nd half of both 2 games and they relied on bad refereeing in game one to win. How often do you think GSW will get complacent again in this series? |

A40:If I had seen this post before putting mine, I wouldn't have bothered with mine. |
| Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 3:06pm On May 20, 2016 |
lolawilliams:I'm not comparing two teams from both conferences. If you watch the games of both conferences you don't need anyone to tell you the west is tougher than the East. Cos I can as well ask you why didn't the 10-0 Playoff Cavs sweep the Golden State Warriors in regular season?? Breaking records are impressive but Both conferences are different in competitiveness. You think Cavs would go 10-0 in the West or the GSW/Spurs would go 10-0 in the West, it's very Unlikely. Hope you get my point? |
