dubs in 4
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 30 May 2018 18:30 (five years ago) link
There hasn’t been a sweep in the finals in 11 years, although last year was close. I would think that the Cavs could win at least one game. Famous last words.

it won't be a sweep
― marcos, Wednesday, 30 May 2018 18:40 (five years ago) link
it might be, but dubs in 5 is probably the safest bet
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 30 May 2018 18:43 (five years ago) link
I’ll go dubs in 6 to account for the lebron goes bananas game and the up 3-1 dubs don’t bother taking care of the ball and three random cavs have great games and they drop one before closing it out game

it was closer to being a 6 game series than a sweep actually
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 30 May 2018 21:46 (five years ago) link
yeah
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 30 May 2018 21:47 (five years ago) link
Close in the sense that it was 3-0.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 30 May 2018 21:48 (five years ago) link
Not the closeness of any of the games.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 30 May 2018 21:49 (five years ago) link
cavs choked away game 3, easily cldve been 2-2 going back to oakland
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 30 May 2018 21:49 (five years ago) link
Then it wouldn’t have been close, it would have been far. Close is when one team is on the verge of sweeping, which the warriors were for the time between game 3 and game 4. That is my definition of close. Let’s go to the replay.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 30 May 2018 21:52 (five years ago) link
Warriors in 7 if Iggy doesn't play. If he plays everything except game one, then Warriors in 6.
The normal NBA fix--who knows who they'll suspend for a game this year!--and LeBron going beast means that there will not be a sweep.

dubs in 2
― G.O.A.T. rodeo (Clay), Wednesday, 30 May 2018 23:21 (five years ago) link
remember how the cavs had deron williiams last year taking up minutes in the finals? never seent anyone more shook in my life.
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Wednesday, 30 May 2018 23:21 (five years ago) link
honestly i feel like maybe dubs in 1 or 0
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 30 May 2018 23:22 (five years ago) link
i don't even remember who deron williams is
― marcos, Wednesday, 30 May 2018 23:26 (five years ago) link
yeah i was hedging bc its good to be conservative abt these things but i agree dubs in 0 xp

For LeBron to win MVP the Cavs would have to take it to at least 6 games, maybe 7
― rip van wanko, Thursday, 31 May 2018 04:16 (five years ago) link
The only way Lebron wins an MVP is if KD completely shits the bed, and the chances of that are vanishingly small.It was plausible before KD arrived cause Lebron had no direct matchup in the series you could point to. Now he has to at least appear to shut down KD and be monstrouson offense.

Kd stunk in game one but his numbers were ok-ish. Curry stunk last game shooting it and his numbers looked bad. I think Kd gets it again. Curry shoulda got it in 2015 tho.

game 1 was a legit great finals game but it was all downhill from there
― ciderpress, Saturday, 9 June 2018 05:23 (five years ago) link
sadly Channing left without singing and mostly seemed deeply embarrassed when his dudes came up to do like sweet caroline and don’t stop believing etc

Also yeah worst finals since the spurs and nets snoozefest all those years ago

<3 Shaun
This was Shaun Livingston in 2008. He was recovering from perhaps the worst basketball injury ever. People thought he’d never play again. He was talking about where he’d be in 10 years.It’s been 10 years. He’s a 3x NBA champion. pic.twitter.com/vu6kpZuHt0— Thomas Duffy (@TJDhoops) June 9, 2018

People are struggling with why this isn’t a travel, so I’ll explain:His left is the pivot. He jumps just about off of both feet, but it would still be legal for him to lift off the right foot into the air. Not a travel as long as he releases the ball before left foot lands. pic.twitter.com/UFZm4xDMLG— BBALLBREAKDOWN (@bballbreakdown) June 7, 2018
