I agree, the bench need to step up big time. And Kyrie has to be contained 1on 1, otherwise it's too much headache on D.
I really expect them to lose, even if Steph puts up 40.
The Warriors just need to be aggressive from the jump. Role players need to step up and knock down shots when the time calls for it. Guys like Barnes should be embarassed and pissed off to see the Cavs give him the Tony Allen treatment on offense.

Curry is a rhythm guy. If he stays out of foul trouble and starts cooking early it becomes contagious and Klay and Green usually join in the fun. A good start is key, get some plays, a steal here, a block there it would phuck with them mentally. I know for certain that if the Warriors can get to a good start the Cavs would have to abandon their gameplan and start chucking up 3's. And this would play into the Warriors

The campaign to crown Queen James finals MVP irrespective of Sunday's game 7 result is becoming rifle and i honestly think it is a legitimate campaign.

It is one that holds substance if we are to argue with fact and numbers. If he repeats a dominant performance in Oakland and loses with neither splash brothers showing up BIG TIME, i think Queen James should be seriously considered for the MVP because he has played with consistency thus far.

If the Cavs win then yes he deserves, however if he has a poor or average Game 7 and say Steph Curry goes like 40-8-6 I'd probably give it to Steph. I just think the guy with the Chip should get the MVP

I hope he is fired up and his back can take this duel with James. He just needs one more big performance

Draymond too. This series would have been over and everybody on vacay if not for his poor judgement.

I agree with you on the role players. But I can only see one winner tomorrow with Iguodala having back problems.

If Barnes makes his wide open shots, Cavs will be in trouble, but I still see LeBron getting layups or fouls at will. The bench will decide the game.

You know na. Cavs got a tough 2hrs ahead of them, but I think that they have the better chance.

Don't tell me Miami will allow Hassan to leave to the west? That guy is one of the guys i love to watch now and i know he will be on fire next season. I feel miami will be a title contender with hassan. I hope Miami sticks with him.
IMO,If Durant wants a ring, he should go to the spurs.If he wants to go to Miami, they better not sell Hassan ooo. Hassan and Durant will be a nice collabo.
Let's see how it goes.

The thing is if the Warriors execute nothing for LeBron. He would get his stats and win the battle but it would ultimately not matter because the Warriors would win the war.

It starts with Steph being aggressive knowing when to settle for 3's or put the Cavs in foul trouble early. The Warriors will get calls so Cavs better brace up. Some of the screens James set were borderline illegal in Game 5 he won't get away with it at the Oracle

he is facing the same issues bosh faced. unfortunately, he is nowhere near as skilled as we all thought he was, and really doesnt know how to insert himself in a game. I really hope he balls out in game 7...it sucks to be on the biggest nba stage possible and not perform.

Question of the day.

If you were the GM of the Warriors, would you resign Andre Iguodala?

Issues to consider

The new TV deal coming into effect this off season.

Iggy turns 33 in January

Iggy has a bad back that may not be going anywhere anytime soon, if you know about back injuries in the NBA, you should understand what i am talking about.

I will resign him because he deserves it, although not for a four year contract or what not, 1 year contract is enough while i look for a solid vet to replace him

Asin, and This his average or poor shooting didn't just start this season, even last season too! He will just be shooting anyhow even when he's under extreme pressure and lo and behold either brick or airball more often than not.

Wasn't this the same Love that was Gulping almost 20-30 rebs & 30pts back in Minn. Maybe The guy just hasn't adjusted to the fact that he's in a better team and not the primary offense.

Anybody expecting him to take-off tonight should just calm down cos I don't even see that guy putting 20 up top.

lol at Minn he was a local champion...now being transfered to a bigger stage,he is having stage fright...
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 9:51pm On Jun 19, 2016
You have James, Kyrie, Tristan Thompson all combined can do what Kevin Love does. he has been reduced to a role player far from what he was At Minnesota and back to center and now back to being a role player.. You can't blame him when his role hasn't been fully assigned and gets caught up between trying to rebound and defending the high post or the 3pt line. Maybe if the organisation wasn't too busy trying to gather talents and thought of how it would've been they'd have save money, kept Wiggins and save Minnesota some talents. Richardson works better when Golden State goes small cos Thompson is automatically playing center and would beat everyone on GSW team with offensive and defensive rebound giving Cavs more flexibility to work with. Love can fit in GSWs cheesy if Cavs would take less or Barnes grin his Rebounding power has been relegated cos of who is present on Cavs team. He'll help us fit well with rebound when we decide to play small with the death lineup.

cant remember who said it...donlittle or so. This 73 win team is a historic one - the cavs are literally fighting history. Personally, I'm happy there is a game 7. I am going to watch...this is history whichever side you on
