that curry 15 point run in the 3rd quarter did them in.
now if only I have enough faith in okc to win twice at home.

we half way there bros. it can happen. i should get a bottle of holy water for the next game just in case...

Guess I closed my eyes tho but why the lowkey insult smh, *opens eyes* curry would beat westbrook 1 on 1? bruv lol prolly we should put out a poll

SmooshCHN:
Guess you closed your eyes when I put KD before PG13, and BTW I meant a game of One on One not in game. And I specified that while replying some else's comment. go watch videos if that'll help your judgement

Sorry if your feelings got hurt. No vex. You might believe differently but go watch videos. please note I'm not referring to in game basketball and even if tho. One on one situation, I'd rather play against Westbrook. So far you block his lane to drive to the basket and let him settle for jumpers. Honestly Westbrook is hard to guard, Curry is harder I believe.

SIRcumalot:
one thing I stressed the last time was the team with the better talent.
I believe Cleveland also beat both those team once this regular season and unlike how difference between atl-blazer isn't so clear to some,that isn't so when it comes to the cave and those teams above.
so that picture only reaffirm what I believe to be true.

The Cavs are not a more talented team than OKC. GSW swept OKC during the regular season, but haven't swept them now during the playoffs.

So your argument that the Cavs being more talented than ATL or DET is the reason for the sweep falls flat because the Cavs are equally more talented than even Houston and PTB yet were molested by PTB and lost from leading by 20 to the Rockets.

The point is, unlike the east where the 2nd, 3rd etc teams play featherweight/low calibre Playoff games and thus get swept by a good Cleveland team, in the west even the so-called weaker teams usually show a strong representation of themselves at home which will prevent a sweep.

Thus, as great as GSW, or Spurs or OKC are, I knew that without any serious handicap from the teams they played, there wouldn't have been any sweeps. And the same would've befallen Clev if they were in the west.

I leveraged that point by stating that Cleveland would not have swept PTB. You can take it to the bank.

lolawilliams:
Cleveland later defeated houston 91_77. The Cavs held the Rockets to a season low in points with just 11 from Harden on 2-for-10 shooting.He missed all five of his 3-point attempts.

Cavs later defeated blazers 105_100 this same regular season

My dear I love your arguments even though they are emotive and sometimes hollow.

For example, the 91-77 game came before the 106-100 game (so one can argue that when Rockets had hit their stride and were on the verge of making it into the playoffs they beat your Cavs). In fact, the 105-76 drubbing of Cavs by PTB too, was after the 105-100 loss.

So try another spin. Nobody here has said Cavs aren't good. We only said they would not have had an 8-0 run heading into the WCFs (had they been in the west)

Mine and Curry's God will shame our naysayers. In Jesus' name. Amen!

Seriously, I am unusually tensed about game 4. How loud the OKC fans were in game 3 was deafening.

Anyways, KD didn't win a ring this season. James faffed in another final. I just couldn't tell who won the ring though

Westbrook is faster and more athletic but that is all. Once you prevent him from driving, he is stuck with his inconsistent jumpers.

Curry on the other hand, has better handling and shooting range. He won't even need to drive into the paint, if he keeps jumping, you'd keep hearing the swoosh.

Curry can be in OKC and improve them, but Westbrook can't improve GSWs play because he shoots low percentages.

You understand what I'm trying to say.. Do you play Basketball??

if you think the warriors can't sweep the blazer like I do,there is no point to this then.

am curious what do you and A40 ?
think about that draymond-Stevens issue.
foul or no foul.

Boom!!!!!!
Buzzer shot homie
Rwb is hard to guard, but not as good a shooter, or crafty ballhandler as SC...

The Warriors can't sweep the Blazers my guy. There would always be ebb and flow in a series and the Blazers in their building can beat anybody. They scored 137 pts against a Warriors team. They would steal a win. Don't use the Hawks as an example. They are a terrible example and their getting swept by the Cavs is a huge indictment on them. They had enough not to go 0-8 for chrissakes

Let me ask you. Which roster has more talent between the Raptors and the Hawks? Since you feel talent is all that matters

It was a flagrant but that's that. I don't agree Draymond should be suspended. He's a troll but I don't think he intentionally wanted to castrate Adams

As for the Warriors vs OKC

Transition defence was really what killed them. They have become a little too laissez faire of late. Some of us that knew Golden State those Don Nelson years know what I'm talking about. Draymond Green was also a complete no-factor and it is in games like these that I wonder what is Harrison Barnes's role for the Warriors. I don't know a particular thing he is good at

Basically I expected a tough series. Aside the fact that uneasy wears the crown, OKC played with a hunger I have never seen before. They are a tough match up for the Warriors. People forget the Warriors barely won their games one of which OKC literally threw away. The Warriors don't have an answer for Durant and Westbrook so far. OKC don't have much asides these two guys offensively so I am wondering why a deep team like Golden State are struggling so badly.

SmooshCHN:
What do you guys do during the off season?? How do you cope??

I always feel like crying and watch both conference finals from Game 1 to the NBA finals Game 7..
What do you guys do?? I could use your idea. Thanks

Euros dey this year and tennis too. Plenty things to watch

Ewuro4:
Raptors offence's looking good. Hopefully it stays that way. Still optimistic

Not as bad as I do

A40, It's a requirement to support Raptors being my home country's only NBA club. Not a Cav but will die LB's #1 loyal fan.

Lol Biyombo is a beast yo!!!! Some nights one player just has to decide we are not losing this game. Even with the Cavs poor shooting you still have to put yourself in a position to take advantage

The Free-Throw disparity was too much in the first two legs. I no wan talk since but that home cooking too much. The Cavs have been doing most of the whining but the refs have been whistling in their favor a lot. Remains to be seen if JV would be back on time. Would be really nice for the Raps to win and drag this series to 6 or 7 games

And Loool at LeFlop. Flop so hard. He no even know say na him teammate hit am

Donlittle:
what is everyone favorite shows on here?

Ballers. July can't come soon enough.

Ray Donovan is good too. Quantico

the hawks are the better team I see where you going now.

draymond is going to get suspended the league won't want to be accused of ojoro.

No lie. They just gave themselves the chance to be hit hard by fans. I'd have preferred if Green was ejected and given the flagrant 2.

HT 41-57

Siga:
... These refs man... zero integrity...How can Raptors come out of first half without free throws...

Lol was going to post that. Unbelievable

Still up 16. Without Valanciunas

Lowry has balled out of his mind

Must be that crazy spambot

Lol Lowry going in

Someone told me lebron is a good shooter lol.

That block on Kevin Love

A40:
That block on Kevin Love

And the block on lebron also, even though these officials are tripping

Cavs still within striking distance. Ably aided by the refs

A40:
Cavs roaring back oo

Going to wait to see what toronto does in the fourth quarter.

Would have love them to keep over a 10 point lead in the fourth. Kyrie irving had other ideas. This game would have been over if not for him.

Terrible lineup right now lol

Toronto coach man........ oh well

casey gambled with the game with a two minute rest to two important players. Stupid

Haha Raptors have pissed this game away. Unbelievable

Cavs are serious.. Toronto is sleeping
