ummm, I don't know how anyone could have the dubs winning this series right now. Green, Bogut, and Barnes are basically ghosts out there...and it doesn't look like it's gonna get any better.
Dubs will turn it around. There is no way Cleveland keeps this up.

40/12/8 avg for Lebron this series.

even on sub par efficiency this would be the most dominant Finals performance ever if he keeps this up.

kinda gotta agree with Tweak here, the bay area has so many damn ugly women of all ethnicities, and the crappy thing is they all think they are 8-10s, it's almost comical.

Santa Cruz and Walnut Creek have heat though.

GS loves the moving screens, and holding Cavs players on rebounds and they are still getting owned by a 7 man roster it's fucking glorious

This might be the best Lebron stat of all time-

LeBron has been his team's outright leader in Pts/Rebs/Asts in 35 career playoff games, including in Gm2. Next most all-time is 13 by Bird.

Once it gets to big games where eternalbot's favorite players are playing you can expect every post can be put it into one of the following:

A) Don't say other team is doing bad (makes his player look better then just beating a team playing at its worst)
B) Refs hate my favorite player
C) Look at how dirty/cheap other team is
D) Look at how bad my favorite players teammates are, they mess everything up

That video and you complaining is a joke. EVERY team in NBA sets more illegal screens then legal screens. Also, when Tristian Thompson is on your team you can't complain about people fouling for rebounds. He shoves people all over the place.

in the NBA finals, would the cavs be a tougher matchup for the warriors with irving/love or with dellavadova/thompson on the floor?

The latter without a doubt. Cleveland offense would be a lot better w/ the former, but they wouldn't be winning these games. Guys like Delly and Thompson could be liabilities on a lot of teams, but the things they lack aren't things Cleveland needs to win and the things they bring to table are critical.

Irving's defensive liability has been overblown, he did a commendable job in game 1 at 75%, if Love and Irving were both healthy this team would steamroll the Dubs.

If they somehow win the series, I don't know how you don't give it to him. He's the only guy showing up and doing it on both ends. And he will easily be the wworst MVP in recent memory.

have you seen the Cavs offense when Lebron isn't on the court, they might not score 50/game, at the very least Irving/Love are legit players and you might be able to have Lebron play a more reasonable 40-42 mpg and also not have him be forced to run every offensive set.

if you are obligated to give the MVP to someone on the Warriors then yes Iggy is far and away the MVP but lets be honest there is 1 choice for MVP and it isn't Iggy and next to nothing in the next 2-3 games will change that.

too much fake outrage now days to give it to lebron on the losing end, even though he's been the best player.

Cool story bro. Your opinions, when you're not actually saying something useful, are always borderline trolling biased. Fuck outta here with your clipper fan bitch ass. My knowledge of the game is fine. Don't get it twisted.

I called it during the off day. Double teaming lebron early in the shot clock would be a big adjustment and it worked great last night. Obviously going small to start was huge.

for fucks sake, you have someone actually trying to make the case that Delladova>Irving, TT>Love is similarily absurd. Cleveland was a dominant team after the trades, Love is worse than we thought he was but he's still something like #20 in the league and TT isn't on the list above him.

have you watched Delladova on offense this series? its been fucking awful, he's done a wonderful job defending Curry but jesus the guy is shit tier that should never be near a team in the finals let alone playing 40 fucking minutes per game

Lebron's efficiency is way down because A. they have to slow the pace way the fuck down and no one has great efficiency with 2 secs on shot clock B. he isn't getting calls on his drives at all C. They have absolutely no creation without him D. He's getting almost no rest

Iggy's been amazing but he's in the best possible situation for defending Lebron and has 5% of the workload on the other end that Lebron has.

This isn't a regular matchup

Cleveland has good players, Mosgov is very good TT is solid but more 6th man than what he's going to get paid like due to this postseason, Shumpert is a solid role player, every single one has been pushed way past their optimal usage due to depth issues.

This could happen, GS has spent around 6 months as a great team, pretty big jump from a more middle of the pack team last year. Curry also made a massive jump this year and the first time in the finals is a rough time for almost everyone.

I think GS wins in 6, but think they'd lose in 5 if Love/Irving were healthy as the they'd not have the talent edge at that point.
Sure looks like this is happening, just amazing to watch Lebron turn "MVPs" into trash when he goes head 2 head vs them
One loss and you do a complete 180. Eternalbot strikes again

The whole world has done a 180 after one game, overreactions to each game are hilarious.
