The Cavs will win this series. The Warriors are as soft as a pillow and have a lot of trouble dealing with adversity as a team and individually. Their toughest player is Draymond who is an emotional wreck plus the Cavs have the two best players and enough firepower around them. It's going to suck to listen to the Lebron worshippers but I still prefer the Cavs to the Warriors.

You don't think KD is the 2nd best player in the series?
Posted on 5/26/17 at 3:35 pm to ReauxlTide222
I think he's the second most physically gifted but Kyrie is more of a killer and I believe is more reliable especially on the big stage.

I think maybe he means the Cavs have two of the best three players, which I think we could make the case for.
I have to see it from Steph before I believe it. Both of these Finals he's been something less than his regular season self. Can't blame it on the injury because he was perfectly healthy in 2015.

I thought Steph was hurt last year? Not injured but pretty banged up.

Right, but I said even in 2015 when Steph was perfectly fine Kyrie was giving him the business until his knee gave out. I don't see that changing.
Even still, I don't know how they account for KD if he continues his current trajectory. Just have to hope he's not ready for the moment. He was not dominant last year vs GS and wasn't dominant vs Miami the last time he was in the Finals. Both series he had some awful games shooting the 3.

Oh ok yes I agree Kyrie is better than Steph. Besides Lebron Kyrie might be the scariest player in the league.

Yeah? Well I upvoted you, so suck on that positivity.

quote:The real issue IMO is that they always think their time playing was the best time and today's game isn't as good.
Those guys overvalue the special insight that playing in the league has afforded them and simply attach that title to their opinions. They appeal to their own accomplishments.
They don't actually look at the numbers and make a rational judgment off of the relevant facts.
If you think of the makeup/ego that makes a great player, that really makes perfect sense, and it's hard to see how that could change. That's who they are, that's what made them great.

"And it isn't close" will average .34 uses per post during/following games LBJ plays well

and wasn't dominant vs Miami the last time he was in the Finals. Both series he had some awful games shooting the 3.
But his numbers were crazy good. Shot over 50% in 4 of 5 games, 47% on 9 of 19 was his worst game shooting wise.

Cavs in 7, unfortunately. It seems their alll-star team is playing a tad better down the stretch than the GS all star team.
As a matter of fact, Klay has never played worse.

Problem with Klay is he's a rhythm shooter. He's not like a JJ Redick that can just knock down a shot whenever. If he's not engaged in the game, he's limited. And KD's obviously the reason he's not as involved.
His game scores have been absolutely abysmal for someone of his supposed stature. Hope it continues.

I'm 100% certain that you and Madking are taking the Cavs preemptively so you don't have to acknowledge how incredible a win would be for LeBron. You're not fooling me.

Well you're 100% wrong.
I gave my reasoning for why I think the Cavs will win.

Interesting, but when Lebron only scores 11, it's a team game again?

If the Cavs win, it's because LeBron balled out. That's a safe assumption.
If LeBron balls out, they can still lose. Make sense?

Many of the possessions run through James so umm yeah...But its also a safe assumption that many other Cavs players played well as well. Kyrie was the man in game 4 that led the charge and Love has been playing well all playoffs.
Make sense?
