You hate Delly because you're a bandwagon warriors fan, not because you have some righteous moral code.

6/5/2016 9:46:28 PM

Hey man there's plenty of room left on the Warriors bandwagon. Feel free to hop on. We can walk to the victory parade from my apartment.

6/5/2016 9:59:11 PM

Its not just unfair because cleveland is outmatched but also because they werent allowed to play for like 6 weeks while the Warriors got so much experience and were pushed to their limits by okc. I think cleveland could have put up a better fight if they were battle tested

6/5/2016 10:01:45 PM

Haha yeah it's really unfair the Cavs coasted to the Finals while the Dubs endured injuries and fought for their lives.

6/5/2016 10:07:27 PM

"Warrior fans" are getting to the level of obnoxious of the bay area SF Giants fans.

We get it you have the best team.

6/5/2016 10:22:17 PM

lakers should sign everybody.

6/5/2016 10:28:28 PM

It's not just that they're obnoxious ... They just are bandwagon fans. And the 73 wins has them thinking they're the most dominant team of all time, which is ridiculous. They've only seriously been tested in one series in two years, and if Durant and Westbrook had stopped chucking up poor shots last series, they wouldn't even be back in the finals playing whichever weak team the Eastern Conference spit up.

And it's not like any of them were around during the Baron Davis years or could name the 4th and 5th players of RunTMC, either. And the fact that they all ride Draymonds jock strap without realizing that he would be nothing without the rest of the dubs makes them insufferable in conversation.

Crazy that the front runner for the Finals MVP after 2 games is the backup to the only unanimous MVP ever

6/5/2016 10:39:02 PM

Someone explain to me how a 73 win team isn't one of most dominant in NBA history?

6/5/2016 10:42:01 PM

Iggy played a great game but he only had 7 points. Everyone's favorite thug was the one who balled out tonight.

6/5/2016 10:42:19 PM

Iggy is Curry's backup?

[Edited on June 5, 2016 at 10:43 PM. Reason : through 2 games, Livingston is the MVP. but it's 2 games so it doesn't matter.]

The fact that you think I'm a Laker fan (who aren't even rivals of the warriors) highlights just how much of a bandwagoner you are.

6/5/2016 10:43:33 PM

im a huge curry fan but that along with the fact that they pretty much rolled when he was out 3 weeks suggests that he isn't as valuable as you would think. i'm not saying he's overrated because he is truly great and thats undeniable.

If they go on to win 6 championships in 8 years while winning 65+ games a season, then we can have that discussion.

6/5/2016 10:45:15 PM

You sure sound like one. Believe it or not, the Bay Area is filled with Laker fans who are just as salty as you are right now.

Yes. We know. You live in Walnut Creek or wherever. You can go ahead and stop trying to school me on Bay Area culture. I ride Muni every day and see carpetbagging warriors fans all the time argue about how they're the greatest.

Warriors fans = Seahawks fans

Lebron got called for two consecutive walks. How does that happen!?!?

6/5/2016 11:31:02 PM

Ok, warriors should definitely go down as the greatest team of alltime now

The media is gonna try to spin it because of the playoff losses that were mostly due to Currys injury.

6/6/2016 7:54:39 AM

They cost you the most money of all time. Let me guess youre gonna hedge cleveland game 3 and magically come out even?

6/6/2016 8:00:17 AM

Lol

6/6/2016 8:53:47 AM

Yeah I lost a ton of money backing a 73 win team most of the year . Does that sound right to you?


I faded them against okc because the line was way off.

I faded them vs cleveland because I was just wrong. Cleveland is too bad defensively. They gotta trade love and Irving it's not happening with those guys.

And the days of anyone singlehandedly winning a title on offense are over since the advent of zone. But lebron has clearly lost a lot on that end. Hes still a great player but he needs to find his shot. His turnovers really hurt the cavs when he tries to force it to the basket

6/6/2016 9:03:47 AM

Didn't catch the game last night... did the cavs adjust anything? I saw they ran Lebron at the 5, but did they do anything else differently?

6/6/2016 10:22:22 AM

I don't think so.
The gap between these two teams are even bigger than last year. So Cavs can't win 2 games now. Probably they win next game at home and they are done.

6/6/2016 11:22:46 AM

Im gonna wait tiill game 3 because if you think about the games 3 and 4 in toronto they looked completely outmatched but then were dominant at home. Im not saying i believe that but there has to at least be a slither of hope.

6/6/2016 12:24:15 PM

They were not completely outmatched in Toronto but definitely in Oakland.

" If i had to set title odds right now I'd go something like 50% cleveland 25% sas 20% gsw 4% okc 1% por, tor, miami combined. And that's basically the nuclear option if every other team sustained massive injuries It's crazy how overlooked cleveland was. And how some people are trying to downplay their 8-0 start. Atlanta was playing really good ball the 2nd half of the season and they swept them. Cleveland looks like a juggernaut right now especially with curry injured and sas-okc going both looking vulnerable"

6/7/2016 1:00:22 AM

pretty disingenuous to put 2 different quotes from 2 different times in the same quote box to imply that the comment has anything to do with the projections. but, 1st rule, no mods, etc.

6/7/2016 1:15:42 AM

that would be disingenuous. good thing it didn't happen.

6/7/2016 1:36:47 AM

oh, i guess i forgot how fast cleveland got to 8-0. assumed SAS had already been eliminated.

carry on, troll.

6/7/2016 1:38:33 AM

Yeah they just have bad chemistry. When things start going poorly they fall apart.

Kyrie is SO bad. A starting pg can't have 1 assist. I mean if he was 13-21 fg with 1 assist it would be one thing. But 5-14 is just ridiculous.

The real surprise has been dellavedova he played well last year and he's been a train wreck I'm this series.

Lue isn't playing Frye which is a clear mistake. Jr smith has been invisible. Lebron has struggled on offense.

They need to make some major offseason moves it would be senseless to bring this same roster back.

They need chris paul badly. I think carmelo could help them. If those guys aren't ready to make moves then lebron should move during free agency. If he comes back to Cleveland they'll make the finals again and get licked again. That's brutal for his legacy

6/7/2016 7:31:54 AM

Also want to point out at the time i set those odds curry had a sprained mcl. He was far from certain to still be playing at a high level.

I think he's gonna need offseason surgery. He already pulled out of the Olympics which is a huge decision considering h8s shoes out sold lebron and he's got a few hundred million on the line with his under armour sales and merchandising equity

6/7/2016 7:58:30 AM

Very smart move to withdraw from the invitation of Olympics. Good time for him to do surgery and get charged for the next season, which is very likely to be a 3-peat for the Warrior's new dynasty.

6/7/2016 9:04:25 AM

I mean the series isn't technically over. I don't see CLE winning both games at home, but it's possible. They couldn't have played any worse in game 2, so I would imagine game 3 will be a lot tighter. If they lose game 3 though, I def think it'll be over and the Ws will sweep them.

6/7/2016 11:47:36 AM

They surely will fight back in game 3, but game 4 is crucial. If they still win game 4, there's a chance to play game 7. I think GSW will try their best to get the series point in Cleveland and celebrate the champ at home.

6/7/2016 11:59:53 AM

Nah. They lose game three and it doesn't matter if they win game four. They'll get to the fly to Oakland to have the Warriors close it out and win at home. Game three is basically their only chance to swing the momentum.

6/7/2016 12:19:58 PM

If they lose game 3, very likely they will be swept. But maybe GSW want to invite them to Oakland to join the celebration party.

6/7/2016 12:31:07 PM

I mean as of right now it LOOKS like a sweep.

But nba has so much incentive for extra games. And cleveland should play much better at home.

I think warriors take it in 5. Too much $$$ on the line for a sweep. I mean heck gsw loses millions themselves off the gate.

But I'd be more surprised to see cleveland force game 6 than get swept at this point.

Game 1 was just so ugly for cleveland. Game 2 was an abomination.

Cleveland isn't scoring right now. That can possibly be fixed. But im not sure their defense can be

6/7/2016 12:39:14 PM

Even one more game means NBA could gain millions.

6/7/2016 12:42:11 PM

^^

C'mon man, by $$$ on the line, do you mean for the NBA so the refs have a say? Or for GSW and the home attendance? I'm sure its not the latter

6/7/2016 12:58:17 PM

Yeah typically the refs intervene to increase the probability of the series going an extra game in cases like this.

Example game 5 gsw vs okc the foul calls were clearly going in gsw favor.

[Edited on June 7, 2016 at 3:21 PM. Reason : A]

Basketball is a very physical and complicated sport. Refs can play a very important role in the final game result.

The Showtime Lakers wouldn't get out of the first round of the western conference. I'm not even sure they could make the playoffs.

It's gotten absolutely absurd how these old timers think they could compete today

6/8/2016 9:05:19 AM

The finals is just getting boring. So people jump out to make funny comments.

6/8/2016 9:28:37 AM

Durant to the Knicks is picking up steam. Honestly, I could see it. They'd be very competitive if they can move Lopez for a guard.

Durant and kp length would give teams a lot of problems
