2016 NBA Finals — Warriors vs Cavaliers

God I fucking hate being a Cleveland fan.

Empty seats already disgraceful

bay area billionaires got places to go

seriously though who the fuck leaves an nba finals game early especially when your team is dominating at home

not going to blame anyone who tries to dodge some bay area traffic

they have "work" tomorrow

the east bay interstates are terrifying and i say this as an experienced massachusetts driver

this game was kinda sad in a way

haha oh definitely

agreed

home court won't be a huge help if cavs can't also figure out some other shit

home court comes with the option to play all 12 players at once, right? thats why its so effective?

Cavs really made a point to take away the three point shot to the point where they gave up 25 back door cuts without pressuring the ball

seriously though who the fuck leaves an nba finals game early especially when your team is dominating at home

fwiw it was EXTREMELY nice outside today

If I ever pay to go to a finals game you better believe I'll be the first one there and the last one to leave

otm

pr cool rondo retweeted you

i hope i retweeted the right one

yeah thx dan

feel like the phrasing gives me some plausible deniability

its okay we've already established that klay love and clay are all basically the same person

in a epistemological, ontological sense u cld say they have already been traded for each other

also metaphysical

warriors destroying the cavs via taking what theyre given http://www.si.com/nba/2016/06/06/warriors-stephen-curry-klay-thompson-steve-kerr-cavaliers-nba-finals-lebron-james

def remember thinking "well i guess we'll see" when smart people spent the entire season saying the cavs matched up terribly w/ the dubs but i guess it was true!

lue has coached a bad series tho

headline on espn "Cavs still have hope of winning NBA Finals?"

lol @ "?"

feel like its not so much a match up issue as its the dubs r just much better

Yeah Cavs are the 4th best team in the league, that's p much it

of course but the cavs are giving the warriors way less trouble than i.e. the blazers, they're basically on a level w/ the rockets in terms of how easy the dubs are dispatching them & no one would say the cavs and rockets are equals so obv there's some match up prob

i guess the more interesting question is if the cavs brain trust aka lebron can a. identify the problem b. figure out how to fix it my guesses are maybe and no

i mean via roster moves in the offseason

Kyrie for CP3 trade will go out there.

Love for Melo probably not str8 up but a three way deal.

Bron wants the banana boat

dubs supporting cast is so good that they can severely punish any team that tires to shut down steph & klay. this has been demonstrated all season. okc got closer than anyone has to matching the dubs, but they didn't overweight their defense like the cavs have

yeah still kinda mystifying that cavs went from going up 2-1 via clampdown defense + lebron train to like, dubs scrimmage chum

lack of blatt defensive schemes?

lol i mean its prob just the dubs having jumped lightyears ahead but i certainly dont think tyronn lue is helping

the cavs should be playing the same strategy as the blazers which was basically to run up and down w/ the warriors and bomb as many threes as them. it's prob suicidal but at least introduces variance and the cavs can really shoot it. right now they're playing this bizarre mix of the warriors pace but w/o shooting threes w/ them it makes no sense.

otm, this is a 65-70 win team vs a 55-60 win team the difference is fairly large

also let's not forget that for whatever style the cavs were playing last year the dubs basically had that 2-2.5 game choke-y hiccup moment under the bright lights that was not going to happen this year

it's really bizarre to see the team that was breaking 3 point playoff records in the 2nd round shoot so terribly. and no the hawks defense does not explain the difference.
