mjp28 Posted May 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 If I were a betting man (which I am) I'd pick GS but not sure about 7 points in Game 1. Now if I were just a fan I'd go CLEVELAND....and hope for a few minor miracles in the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambridgeho Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Love that we won the Championship this year, but the Warriors are just too good and healthy this year. If Bron has an off game like he did in game 3 with the Celtics, we would lose by 50. Its going to come down to nothing but grit in this series. To win, we will have to beat them into submission. Sad to say, but I see us losing in 5 games. Then revamping the roster with some more youth. The Warriors are younger and could dominate for 5 more years.

BaconHound Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 To make this a series Cleveland needed to win one in GS. If they win Sunday by 1 last night's game doesn't really matter. Still think Warriors in 6 but hope for the best for the Cavs and James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game 2 just might be a must win for the 2017 NBA Championship for Cleveland, look for their best effort Sunday at 8 pm. This year the addition of KD has been the big missing piece for GS without him the CAVS probably had a decent shot with KD well do you believe in miracles? The CAVS need one in California.

nickers Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Things were way too easy for KD last night.. not even contesting the paint.. the cavs played like scared wussies last night... they better get thier heads out of they're asses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious Styles Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Cavs implemented their "Moses" defense last night. When Warriors aggressivly approached the rim......they parted like the Red Sea. Seriously, I may be too old school but....there comes a time when you got to put somebody on their azz ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 especially when the phoney refs let the warriors hold, set moving picks, hack/hammer and offensive line block, shove off... but it really got me when they called Lebron - I'm no huge fan...but they called him for offensive charge with the warrior's feet both moving significantly.... you can't win when they have 6/7 guys on the floor, then the Cav's went out of their game, and started clunking threes and that was it. I think they knew they couldn't win. It happens again, they will probably lose again. But then they will win two straight in Cleveland... I despise pro basketball for this phony referee crap. Oh, and they had whatshisname - the guard flopping like a psychotic carp so often, with no contact, even the worst ref wouldn't call it. But his exaggerated marching should have been a tech. Also, they started posting a guy to stop passes to Love. But seriously, they were physically grabbing arms, and ripping the ball away.... NO CALL ? as bad as "pro wrastlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbedward Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Outcoached, outplayed, out hustled. It's been a sad display from the cavs, besides Lebron of course. The offensive rebounds have driven me crazy. Also the warriors managed 20 turnovers last night and we still got BTFO. Game 1 was an off-shooting night for the warriors and we still got BTFO in game 1 too. Not very good signs for sure. Though, game 1 and 2 were certainly not "must-wins" (yet), but if we drop game 3 it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 they are hot shooters at home - but the corrupt refs are letting the warriors laugh and foul all they want. and, the refs play stupid pro wrastlin refs by encouraging the rough play by looking the other way. even the warriors laugh at what they get away with at home. Moving picks, hammering when the Cavs drive to the basket - no wonder they played defense against threes by the Cavs, they can get away with hammering if the Cavs drive to the basket. Moving picks, holding on the picks, offensive line play, forearms to the face, locking arms, and flopping. Even these jackass refs finally stopped calling the warrior's flopping - I guess they didn't want to be COMPLETELY on the take. And, the warriors are a good shooting team. But that green, thompson curry, etc... didn't foul out by the end of the third period....is a disgrace to "pro" basketball.. NOTE: the warriors feet are moving like crazy, and they get a charging foul on the Cavs. Last night - Love clearly had both feet set... and they called the foul on Love. You can't win. Maybe with Durant the warriors are the better team, but if they win the championship - it's tainted for all the theatrics and biased so-called "referring". Fake pro basketball. My guess is, at least one of those refs was the same, and was dishonest for the warriors. Too many big famous names in the stands, I suppose. The fix was in again. Now, back in Cleveland, I hope they have some real refs that actually referee the calls consistently and fairly. Then, the Cavs could win two and even up the series...or not. But at least they would have a chance. The worst reffing I've ever seen makes the Cavs not have a chance, no matter what they do. We'll see. But pro basketball was a farce a long time ago. Jordan could take five steps to the basket - no call. If he DID miss a shot, he got foul shots with nobody close to touching him. The worst was when rick mahorn nearly forearmed the Cav's Mark Price to the floor. I guess the current dirty commish wants his league to go back to the dirty hockey days for more money... he must be envious of the money and crowds that pro football and pro wrastlin get... https://www.questia.com/newspaper/1P2-32967612/mahorn-s-cheap-shot-pumped-the-pistons https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mahorns-cheap-shot-proves-costly-price-cavs-philip-brett Interesting - I couldn't find a video of the knockout elbow by mahorn on Price anywhere ...
