NBA Playoffs

OMG they’re down to just two MVPs and four HOFers. What ever will they do without their fifth-best player? After all, Cleveland is only missing their second-best player!

If this ends in anything more than a gentleman’s sweep they should be embarrassed

Amazing analysis.

They are absolutely Jekyll and Hyde, Kerr and a couple of the players have even said as much. They've been great in third quarters, last year they were great the whole game going 16-1 in the playoffs.

They beat SA 4-1 by an average margin of 8.8
Then they beat NO 4-1 by an average margin of 8.6

They basically housed two teams about equivalent to the Cavs record-wise. They have an on/off switch, but the bad isn't bad, as it is, say, for the Cavs.

I'm not convinced the Cavs are better than the Pelicans even with Love (especially considering how Mirotic played)

LeBron > ADavis
Hill << Holiday
Love > Mirotic
JR < Playoff Rondo
Thompson > Moore

3 > to 3 <.

I expect the Warriors to win in 5. If the series goes 6 to me it would feel like the Cavs won the series, that’s how one sided this matchup is.

If somehow the series ever went 7, I could see this NBA Finals battle the 1998 NBA Finals as the highest rated Final on TV in NBA history. LeBron is MUST SEE TV right now and is the closest thing to MJ. On the other hand I could see this be a sweep and be one of the worst rated NBA Finals & unfortunately I see the lather to be the more likely event to happen.

The guy who won Finals MVP by "holding" LeBron to 35/12/10. Huge loss. What ever will the Warriors do on the defensive end.

You should try looking at some of the available data regarding how LeBron has fared against Iguodala compared to everyone else.

How big a points/rebounds/assists difference did he make? Pretty sure LeBron shot over 55% for the series; how much more effective would he have been without Iguodala?
 
This is what the Cavs will need a beat up GSW team the Iguodala injury is big and if Thompson is hurt it could get a little interesting.
 
Man Philly has the worst fans but GSW fans (SF/Oakland fans are notoriously bad in general) can't be far behind. Booing JR after clearly inadvertently slipping in to Thompson, which may be one of the richest things ever; then boo LeBron after he gets raked across the face and eye. I like most of the GSW players but man when this run of their is over I hope that franchise is in the abyss forever.

The thing about today's NBA is that you can pretty much get a switch whenever you want, which kind of negates the idea of an individual 'stopper' anyway.

But the Warriors as a whole are a lot better with Iguodala. And yes, they should win this series easily with or without him. If it was going to matter it was last round.
 
Something about GS this year just seems off so I think Lebron (yes I meant Lebron) can make this a 6 game series.
 
Damn that was an interesting graphic they had where they had shooting percentages for all 5 offensive players based on where they are on the floor, changing by the step as the play unfolded
 
lol KD gives up the ball instead of backing down George Hill (who is holding 3 fouls) on the low block/baseline

Soft as Charmin

Honestly those are the ones who fill Oracle. And of course they don't know the first thing about basketball. Hence the behavior we see

Oakland trash can't afford Warriors tickets
 
I forgot that the refs just let both teams essentially mug each other in the Finals. It's crazy.

JaVale has his best couple of minutes of the season and then follows it up with an all-time Shaqtin' the fool moment.

You could just imagine Shaq wishing he didn't promise Javale's mom he'd stop picking on him.

You really shouldn't call people trash.

Lebron is not human I think a part of him wants to not have any help just him against GSW.
 
As great as LeBron is, he can’t get into “stagnant, hold for 20 seconds and shoot a fade away” mode.

Aka James Harden mode.

Hill isn't important. KD isn't shooting well from outside, but the dude still has 21 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 blocks.
