NBA Playoffs

... JR Smith.

That he is supposed to be a bad defender is a MAJOR misconception. It was true in the past, but not now.

NBA referees are just garbage animals who need to be taken to pasture.

Can you imagine the sense of loser failure of that person who wakes up a referee? It must be like the self awareness of a retarded person.

Agreed on everything you've said about JR, and I've watched 98% of Cavs game over the last few seasons. He's really upped his defensive game this year. His energy is up, he's switching and helping effectively, forcing steals, etc. He's not capable of shutting down the GS stars, but I think the criticism is pretty unjust.

 

[Kristian Meller]

I've watched pretty much every win (I see no reason to do losses on demand) the last two years, so we're both speaking from experience

He's always been good with the opportunistic sort of defense, like getting steals and stuff. At least as a Cav.

That's mostly true. The officiating is always bad, but the Thunder still played poorly in game 7. I'm only partially excited for a Finals rematch. Just a few days ago I was already thinking ahead to a Cavs/Thunder series. I just hope Draymond Green finally sees some negative result for his continually dirty play.

I laughed so hard when Adams fell on Draymond's head tonight....well that is what you get when you play dirty.

 

[famicommander]

it looked like a botched DDT in real time

Green is a punk though. you can see on the replay he pulled the arm over him as he fell

C'mon college football season!

C'mon college football season!

Can't get here fast enough.

In the meantime, I hope the cavs beat those douchy Warriors.

Warriors pulled a '93 Suns. Pretty damn impressive.

Time for a rematch. I'm actually pretty excited for this as the Cavs are at full strength this time. Its weird, but I'm going to support them this time around. Cleveland hasn't won anything in 50+ years, and as a Suns fan, I know how a long lack of championships feel.

 

[famicommander]

Cavs were consistently lost in transition D and consistently confused on how to switch off picks. Curry and Thompson both missed multiple wide open 3s, otherwise this would have been a bigger blowout than it already was.

This video doesn't even get into the problems in the set defense, just transition. JR Smith consistently a liability on both fronts.

Warriors in 5.

Best record in the NBA and the Suns drop the first two games at home in a best of five against the Lakers.

NBA tryna extend this series

Officiating is certainly not going against the Warriors tonight. Refs suck, but GS is shooting lights out and Cleveland is beating themselves with sloppy play.

Frontrunner getting blown out again in the Finals.

 

[alec]

Hey guys, what does frontrunner mean?

 

[famicommander]

Cleveland has three starters that can't cover anybody in Golden State's normal rotation. That's their biggest problem.

And they have nothing happening on offense. LeBron in the post is the only chance they have but they won't commit to it.

 

[100proof]

Lookin like Dubs in 5 unless people other than Lebron start scoring.

I had to stop watching the game...I swear the CAVs weren't even trying tonight.

 

[theMot]

Cavs have got nothing. No where near as good in offence or defence. The scary thing is Steph Curry has been sitting on the bench for half of the last two games and they still can't compete. Wouldn't surprise me if they get swept.

 

[famicommander]

it would be so funny if they get swept and then LeBron leaves again
