June 10, 201511 yr The Warriors are where the Cavs were when they got to the finals against San Antonio. Typically, it seems to me, that players don't realize how hard you have to play in the finals to succeed the first time around. But still, with two Cav starters down, this disadvantage should be more than neutralized.
June 10, 201511 yr I still think GS wins games 4 and 5, Cleveland gets game 6, then runs out of gas in game 7. If LBJ drags this bunch to a title, it will be unreal.
June 10, 201511 yr If the Cavs do win this series, I will definitely give Lebron his due props. Cleveland sucks.
June 10, 201511 yr That's what he is this season. :lol2: True. But just like Lin he was a no name backup, is being touted at "the savior" and is "carrying this team." When IMO the King is the only reason the Cavs in the position they're in.

When IMO the King is the only reason the Cavs in the position they're in. I think he is getting the praise that he deserves for his play and the difference he has made so far in the series.
June 10, 201511 yr I don't watch much NBA but it looks to me like Curry gains many of his advantages on offense when he freezes his defender while carrying/palming the basketball, a violation that should be called. That puts the defense in a compromising position.

That puts the defense in a compromising position. What is this carrying/palming violation you speak of?
June 11, 201511 yr What is this carrying/palming violation you speak of? He freezes his defender by holding the ball during the dribble with his hand slightly to the side and underneath. It's like a split second but it's enough to have the D guessing. Maybe I'm not up on the rules anymore but that used to be a carrying the ball violation. I believe it was called a few times on the twins this past season. The NBA must not be as strict about it.

I was being sarcastic. It kills me nowadays watching players carrying the ball.
June 11, 201511 yr Late to the party on this, but the debate is over at this point. LeBron > Everyone else to ever play the game. What he's doing in this series is nothing short of stupid.
June 11, 201511 yr Late to the party on this, but the debate is over at this point. LeBron > Everyone else to ever play the game. What he's doing in this series is nothing short of stupid. What if they lose the series 4-2?
June 11, 201511 yr What if they lose the series 4-2? Doesn't matter to me. And FWIW, I think they do lose the series still.
June 11, 201511 yr Doesn't matter to me. And FWIW, I think they do lose the series still. I do too. Somewhere earlier in this thread, someone said that the winner of Game 4 wins the series and I agree. If the Cavs win, it's all but over at 3-1. If the Warriors win, they're not going to lose at home again in Game 5 and then they only have to grab one of the last two.
June 11, 201511 yr Doesn't matter to me. And FWIW, I think they do lose the series still. Fair enough. I agree that the next game is the biggest. GS won't come back from down 3-1.
June 11, 201511 yr Tonight's game is huge for both teams. (Captain Obvious) I still think the Cavs in 7 unless they win tonight. If they win tonight then Cavs in 6.
