2016 NBA Finals - Golden State vs Cleveland: Game 7

[hatterson]

Man, win or lose, Lebron deserves the series MVP for sure

His stat line from this series and last is absolutely insane.

Combined in the 12 games:
33ppg, 12.3rpg, 8.7apg, 1.3 blocks per game, 2 steals per game.

Limit that strictly to the 5 games (thus far) where the Cavs have faced elimination and his ppg jumps to 41.

Racism is HILARIOUS

What are you on about?

 

[irunthepeg]

The internal debate is "I want Lebron to lose" but I also want Cleveland to finally get a title. They deserve it, although didn't care for the "na na na na heyy goodbye" to Curry last night as he got ejected. Now's not the time to jinx yourselves with that ********

Is it too much to ask for these games to be competitive?

Steph would be cringing at some of those tweets by his wife.

^That recoil.

That's gross. She was 13 in 2002.....

Earlier she was tweeting Stephen A. Smith during First Take. Really wonder what Steph was doing while she's just on the sofa watching First Take lol.

Ayesha needa take the L and move on.

I'm not a big Bogut fan, but seemed the Warriors were missing him quite a bit yesterday. No rim protection or rebounding. Ezeli just hasn't played good enough to get significant minutes. Hard to compare the two, but that's quite a different story from last year's finals. It was open season for Tristan Thompson. Dubs could be in some real trouble if Iguodala's back doesn't heal up too.

She needs to shut the **** up and let her man play ball.

If Barnes stops being ass then GS will win.

The offence runs insanely/historically efficient when floor spacing is good. The moment you can pull away from Barnes is the moment Golden State is just an average to good team.

If Barnes puts up +12 points GS wins.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Honestly, spouses should never comment this way, let alone at this stage. He's going to hear **** from players all the time about it now.

Why are you guys so concerned with the man's wife?

Great game for Tristan "the better Thompson" Thompson btw. Dude was feasting on the boards. Chipped in on offense too. LeBron's assists today were literally perfect. Perfectly placed, perfectly timed, and TT was ready for all of them. His value really shows in playoffs.

You must be talking about Jason Thompson here. That's the only explanation I can think of.

He did have a great game though. Always nice to see the Canadians play well.

Oh yeah I forgot about Jason "The Real Best Thompson" Thompson. Bumps Tristan to Tristan "2nd Best Thompson" Thompson. Wasn't thinking there.

Because her comments are unnecessary at this time and only do more harm than good.

To answer a post from a bit ago; the reason why the Warriors are suddenly 15-8 in the playoffs is because of the fact they're playing better competition. They don't get to get free wins from the lower half of the west and a majority of the east anymore. They have to play legit teams like OKC, San Antonio and now Cleveland.

And to me, Golden State tonight looked like a team that realizes they aren't as indestructible as they believed and are rattled because of it. I get Bogut being out and Iggy being hobbled is an issue, but they made so many dumb decisions. Bad fouls, bad shot selection, whining to the refs constantly. Cleveland is in their heads because they didn't roll over after the asskickings they took in the early going.

You don't not want a player like LeBron in your head. He's pissed off, and he's hungry. That is a bad, bad sign for Golden State come Sunday.

They only played SA in the regular season.


But I agree with what you said. Steph esp last night would chuck a 3, miss, and even before the ball bounced off, he'd have his head down looking like "aw shucks". Just like v OKC when they were down 3-1, they are missing their swagger/confidence.

Also, Klay, Ayesha, and Speights kinda taking shots at Lebron post G4 probably wasn't the best of things. Lebron since then has been fantastic.


As for G7 I can safely say I have no idea except someone will win.

Kerr's former mentor Phillip Jackson was a master at 'working the refs' among other guys that frequently do it (Riley was notorious for throwing shade at the refs to try to get calls in the next game). It's how the game is played in that league.

I believe Jordan used to go out for dinner with the referees (he'd pay for everything of course).

Also, this is hilarious

Lol he's all waving and then gets REKT by a mouthpiece

The conspiracy theorists are glorious in this series. Can't accept that Curry may just be choking.

 

[BGDDYKWL]

This game was officiated MUCH differently than any other GS game I've seen this year. And I'm not saying in favor of Cleveland, but they REALLY let them play. Don't get me wrong, I love that, but that's why we saw such a different outcome and GS seemed so out of sorts. Just goes to show how ridiculous it was to mention these GS teams with some of the all-time greats. They have to contend with actual physical basketball and they're in BIG trouble.

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

Everyone on social media are talking like it's a toss-up but GSW are still heavy favourites. Current M/L odds (Pinnacle) are:
CLE 2.570 -> 28.01% -> 31.4%
GSW 1.574 -> 61.15% -> 68.6%

yeah kerr's post game ticker me off, kept mentioning that steph was the reigning mvp indicating he expects special treatment from the officials for him, which is a disgusting thing for a professional coach to say.

Yea, that was ridiculous. I couldn't believe he actually said that.
I actually agree that the calls were a bit weak but the player they're being committed upon should be irrelevant.

LOL savage
