||| WARRIORS ||| CAVALIERS ||| NBA ||| FINALS ||| 2017 ||| PART ||| 3 |||

kyrie, lebron, steph, and durant are all roughly equals at isos

the pace thing is probably true but it's really just a function of turnovers. easier said than done of course

i do not think this series is going to be competitive, sorry. i know it's in everyone's best interest to look for ways it can somehow happen but the two teams just aren't close

Warriors aren't gonna win the turnover battle or get rebounds like that again.

38-8-8 w 0 TOs is an insane line

cancel the nba

usually when a team has 3 of the 4 best players in a series and blows the other team out in game 1, it's a bad sign for the other team

maybe the nba should consider rule changes to prevent the winners of the last 3 mvps awards to not be on the same team idk

They smoked em game 1 and 2 last year too. I'm not getting my hopes up.

But what do you do if all the last three mvp winners are the same player?

Klay Thompson contested 10 shots Thursday. The Cavs went 1-of-12 when he was the primary defender. He was a plus player despite scoring 6.

the warriors, iirc

that plural 'winners' is doing a lot of favors for me

Steph was outshined a bit but

Steph Curry had 28 points, 10 assists, 6 boards and 3 steals in 34 minutes. He was a game-high +20. He shot 50% from field and 54.5% from 3.

yeah this was weird

forgot to juice

i still think the games in cleveland will be very competitive at worst, and i could see the cavs winning both. but them winning in oakland seems like a really tall task.

the cavs did win the one game b/w these two teams in cleveland this year

also the reffing was pretty generous towards the warriors last night, which will prob regress back the other way naturally

20 turnovers was ..... bad

if cavs want to win i suggest they don't do that again lol

warriors missed a ton of open shots too

yea could've easily been a much worse blowout

starting a gofundme to keep the dubs together

cavs d was sooo bad last night multiple possessions where kd went coast to coast without anyone attempting to stop the ball

yea it was terrible

i'm waiting for the supercut of all the times KD had an uncontested dunk

i had no idea what cavs were doing on so many offensive plays too, so many bad lob passes to nowhere

They're game plan was clearly to run out to the three point shooters on fast breaks.

yeah

^ five warriors, but only four cavs in view. also, what a lovely pic.

the Fifth Cav is just an urban legend

Anyone else see Eddy Cue @cue say "tell that bitch to sit down" after @rihanna was cheering court side? #NBAFinals pic.twitter.com/iwRjjYEqno

who the fuck is that guy

apple executive. also as a pretty good lip-reader i'm not positive he said "bitch", but it's possible

"tell her she should sit down" seems equally plausible

the problem is that he is also standing when he tells her to sit down

as long as he didn't say bitch it's crazy that anyone would have a problem w/ trash talk between fans at a sporting event

also rihanna loves to trash talk

lol it's obv typical home fan trash talking to fans of the opposing team xxp

rihanna apparently yelled "brick" during one of durant's free throws

lol jealous bay area billionaire

this bitch ass nerd is good actually --jordan and kevin

i mostly posted it to see if we could summon the ghost of markers

i think celeb sideline trash talk is 100% ineffective but in this case i'm not sure. rip cavs probably either way.

have to say if the billionaires are gonna take all the good seats at least it's good that they're getting into the games

for example unlike court side fans of the previous NBA dynasty at least these guys seem to come to the game on time
