NBA Finals Game 1 - Cavaliers at Warriors - Game Thread

[casmith07]

Lets go basketball!

My prediction: Cavs in 6.

Last year the series was pretty tight for the most part with Cleveland missing 2 of their key players. With Kyrie and Love back in the fold, and the hunger of losing of last year's Finals, I say the Cavs get their revenge.

nice to see GS is still the only team in the league allowed to hand check

I haven't watched much basketball in a while, and I figure that was just a bad or below average game... But THOSE are the two best players in the league?

As a Laker fan, I sure hope we don't pursue HBarnes.

Obvious statement, but the bench production from GS was huge. Saved their butts last night.

Yes - in an off game. Watch G7 against OKC. THAT's the best player in the league. Or really any of the finals last year for James.

 

[CF74]

Really believed OKC vs Cavs would have been a better matchup, meh...

 

[Joe Realist]

Still will say Cavs in 6.

 

[Sarge]

GS in 6.

I'l keep watching.

I've seen Lebron play at high levels before... Probably over sold how long it's been since I've tuned in. But I've never been super blown away.

I was really tuning in for Curry. See the strides he's made since I last saw him.

So far it's funny to me that he won the MVP when his team can do THAT.

For the record, Go Cleveland.

Those poor people in that town could use a win. The Bay Area, not as much.

 

[StarBoyz83]

LeBron is most likely going to lose the finals again. That sucks for him and cleveland. All they have is stipe. lol

 

[JoeKing]

GS in 4 or 5. Cleveland is over their heads.

 

[jimmy40]

Lebron is a great player but the dude gets a free ride to the finals every year in the East.

 

[jimmy40]

I miss the old days, yeah I'm going to be that guy.

 

[ghst187]

I actually think clev is only about the fourth best team in the league behind GS, OKC, and SA. So the west finals was prob the last good series we will see this year. GS in 5, possibly four.

Curry is the best shooter, not best overall player in terms of offense/defense, my opinion.

 

[casmith07]

I think Cleveland will get one at home.

GSW in 5.

 

[jimmy40]

Curry wore himself out playing actual defense the first half of game 1, bet he doesn't do that again.
