    You're on the hate wagon. You're the bandwagoner. Appreciate a good team.

    How is Magic still alive? Seriously, that's just unbelievable he's survived this long.

    Aww **** the Warriors. If they win this finals, hope it's 40 plus more years before they make another one. Luckiest number 1 seed ever.

    this is why I say 62 game seasons..


    I dont give a flying **** what the owners think, they are rich enough. 82 games = too many injuries = Worse, less competitive playoffs games.

    Hard to appreciate a good team if they've coasted through the playoffs while playing incomplete teams.

    people just at the very least want to see the warriors beat a good team.

    you can't be a great team without beating great teams.

    they lucked out during the regular season with all the injuries and now lucked out during the playoffs.

    if they win the ship, cool for them but it won't be respected and they won't be considered one of the greatest teams of all time like people were trying to proclaim beofre this series.

    Not going to win shooting 1-13 in overtime of a finals game. Playoff LeBron better show up soon or this will be a short series.

    It's like Rockets Cavs all over. One man plus a couple good guys beaten by a team. Plus a small lineup that can still defend. Beat Houston. Will beat the Cavs.

    Warriors didn't have a great game or anything.

    Cavs only chance is if Kyrie can play AND JR Smith gets hot for 4-5 games. How likely is that? Not very.

    As an aside, not that I'd recommend it regukarly, but you've GOT to throw more traps at Curry and Klay. Curry has a tendency to get flustered. He's not as good a passer as his numbers indicate. It's all off his amazing shooting. Hard double with taller players where you can get him to pick up his dribble. Similarly Klay can't create enough to be effective against a hard double.

    I would do a lot more hard doubling.

    Just like we were saying that Rockets win Game 1, 2 with DMo and Pbev. The Cavs win game 1 just if Kyrie is at 100%, and especially if they had a healthy Kevin Love.

    A healthy **** you Kelly Olynyk shall be chanted in the great restless land of Cleveland tonight.
