2015-16 NBA Thread (feat. the Wives)

So much for that thought. This is the game Cleveland steals and the Warriors win a close one in Game 4 then clinch at home in a blow out.

 

They always know.

 

Agreed. This is desperation ball at its finest.

 

Great, now two days of stories about how Cavs would beat Showtime Lakers.

 

Amid all the suggestion that LeBron is failing the Cavs, it's worth noting that the unanimous MVP is having a terrible series. This is the worst he has played in years.

 

He hadn't been the same since his ankle injury. You think he's still injured?

 

He was fine for the last three games of OKC.

 

Steph's not at 100%, but I don't think he's significantly hurt at this point.

Biggest problem for the Warriors was a lack of effort, particularly on defense. Guys just aren't moving like they need to, and are settling for a grab at a guy as he blows past. Steph's been as guilty of that as anyone. Their ball movement on offense has been really limited, too.

 

It's almost as if they have a great team around him.

 

That's exactly how they fell behind against the Thunder. And, as much as it pains me to agree with Screaming A, Curry has to get untracked.

 

How the Warriors are treating the Cavs this series almost feels to me like how the Cavs treated the Raptors. Even when they're losing, it just feels like it's more because of inattention or because they're not taking the Cavs seriously enough. The Cavs crushed the Warriors tonight, and you'd still have to give me something like 10-1 odds to lay money on them.

Also, Kevin Love should probably start looking for someone to sublet his Cleveland apartment, maybe call the housekeeper and have her start boxing things now rather than later. Not sure if it's the back issues over the past few years or just that the fit isn't great in Cleveland, but he needs a change of scenery badly at this point.

 

Remember this once the Warriors have clinched: this Finals reflects poorly on the all-time legacy of LeBron, but not that of Curry. #rings #narratives #winnerswin
