    Same. It's like a crappy movie for which you already know the end - a total waste of time.

    yep, a crappy movie with a douchebag cast and built-in studio/arena audience that applaudes whenever prompted like in a cheesy 80's sitcom

    I know you are kind of a "big man" specialist. What are your thoughts of the non-injured Andrew Bogut after 10 yrs since he was drafted? If this guy can stay injury free, is he a potential trade target in the future? I was amazed at his b-ball IQ and his athleticism. T. Chandler and Deandre Jordan got their punches in but Bogut gave Dwight a run for his money quite often.

    The Warriors are not going to trade Bogut :rolleyes:

    He is a huge part of their elite, all time great defense.

    This playoff season, barring the surprise whistle, they are letting the bigs play more like the 80s and 90s without blowing the whistle as much which is a good thing. I hope the touch fouls to be all but regressed back to what it was as well.

    I'm sure outside of this, people will find interest in watching the finals. For me it's if Steph can Dethrone Lebron from winning another title or can Lebron bring a chip back to Cleveland. If you have friends and family from both cities, I'm sure you'd find interest too, regardless of bay area fans and bandwagoners.

    yeah, and whether intentionally or by coincidence, you even managed to find one that takes place in the bay area :grin:

    does anyone else here cringe everytime the whoracle arena PA announcer screeches out "warrrrrrr-iorrrs" in silicon valley geek form and then the crowd there robotically repeats it?

    And nearly every team in the playoffs except for GSW are Uncle Jessie.

    I was so hype the past week waiting for the finals to start. And now I can barely bring myself to watch tonight. It will just be another injection of more Cleveland sports depression.

    I actually really want to watch. The Cavs played *okay* without Irving a number of times this year and even in the playoffs. And I think the Warriors could have a serious let down this game. Worth checking in for a while anyway (to me). But yes, the ultimate outcome is not really in question, barring something miraculous.

    Is Irving a 2 guard or the point. Dellodova seems to be a gritty gutsy guard that would do the Cavs better anyways. This will probably be the 4th Finals Lebron loses in. 2/6 shouldn't hurt his legacy considered it's 5 straight Finals appearances or does it?

    There's another little guy somewhere in their playoff roster. But I doubt he plays. Delly and Lebron will handle the ball at all times.

    This has to be a hard series to cover for Mark Jackson. He laid the foundation for that team.

    Cavs are going to get blown out with the offense they're showing.
