Cleveland beat OKC both times during the regular season.
in OKC = 115-92
in Cleveland 104-100
Plus, they have Home Court Advantage. |
regular season means very little. if it mattered. the warriors would be up 3-1. instead of down 3-1 |
excepting that both OKC and the Cavs are playing much better in the playoffs then they did during the regular season - while GSW is playing worse then they did in the regular season. |
Okc is peaking and a freight train destroying a 67 and 73 win team. The only reason GSW is "playing worse" is because okc is making them play worse. Cavs really aren't playing "much better", they just lost back to back to the raptors who could barely get by Indiana and Miami without 2 of its best players. |
OKC aint doing squat to beat gsw.
Curry is hurt, and the officiating is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy slanted in okc's favor. Everyone see's what they want though, and who am I to tell anyone that unicorns don't exist, and that there isn't a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Do you buddy  |
Man if you're not joking that's a pretty awful statement. OKC ain't doing squat to beat GS ? Damn man, get your stuff together. |

No one dislikes NBA officiating more than I, but I don't think they have been any issue (so far at least) in this series.

It wouldn't surprise me if Golden State blows out OKC in Game 5.
They will be very motivated and it would be natural for OKC to let up some on the intensity as it is hard to maintain that crazed level game after game. |
GS has looked thier best when Steph is bombing. If he looks ordinary again, its a wrap.
Also, Westbrook.

Cleveland beat OKC both times during the regular season.
in OKC = 115-92
in Cleveland 104-100
Plus, they have Home Court Advantage. |
And the Warriors swept the thunder, plus had HCA and we see how that's working out for them. |
You gotta look at how those games went though. OKC battled the Warriors in the regular season. They led in the 4th Q of every game (even though they lost). So it's not a stretch to believe OKC could beat the Warriors in the playoffs, because they had the matchups and played them tough in the regular season.
Different dynamic vs Cleveland. The Cavs gave them the worst home loss they had all year - 23 points. Cleveland obviously has enough to beat them and I would expect them to be favored in the series. |
And if curry was healthy, W's would smoke both of them.
Woulda shoulda coulda. Right? |
Curry scored 45 points in his first game back. Get out of here with the injury excuses. Injury excuses don't explain getting beat by 20+ points in consecutive games, nor blowing the 1st game.
He's getting dominated by a more athletic guard. That's the end of it. There's nothing more to discuss.
OKC has the matchups to beat GSW and they showed that in the regular season given how close the games were.
Cleveland has the matchups to beat OKC. |
Curry has a title, russ doesn't .Thats the end of it. There's nothing more to discuss.
Curry has owned russ the last few years. thats the end of it. theres nothing more to discuss. |
Yep completely owned s/

from Mike Mazzo:
With Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry's night over, his Eastern Conference finals splits:
In two home wins 55 points, 8-for-15 3-point range, five turnovers.
In three road losses 31 points, 2-for-19 3-point range, 14 turnovers.

Prediction for game 6:
Tor comes out firing, fades before halftime. :\
It was fun while it lasted.

That's because you only go all conspiracy theorist when the team you're rooting for loses.

Not true.
I have said for years that one of the most egregious examples of fixing occurred in the 2006 NBA Finals when Dallas got absolutely hosed in favor of Miami.
It wasn't as bad as the 2004 Finals, but it was terrible for sure.
If you are going to try and criticize me, get your facts straight!

I feel like there has been a couple of calls that GS didn't get but they just aren't aggressive enough. They look so soft and overmatched in lenght, athleticism and hustle. I didn't think I'd see a team completely (bleep) on GS like OKC did. They do it their way too.
Pretty amazing what OKC's been doing, I hope they terminate them next game.

Haha ok. Lemme know the next time when you start losing your mind about conspiracies when a team you like gets the better calls.

Oh I get it now. You are rooting for the Warriors and feel like they are getting hosed by the refs right?
If they are, it is nowhere near some of the egregious biased one-sided officiating that has occurred over the years.
To me, OKC is just outplaying your boys.

well, toronto did as well as they can. 2 wins out of a healthy Cavs squad with 4 out 5 games without their own starting center. Overachieve in my eyes. OKC might wrap it up tmrw night

Not so fast that crowd of theirs is going to help Tor force game 7 plus the Cavs haven't won there all year. |

Haha not at all. I don't give a (bleep) about those Nor Cal fools. They ain't the Lakers. Ranting about corruption and conspiracies is simply what I've observed you doing many times when a team you support doesn't get calls. Hell, even when the Lakers don't get calls and it pisses me off, I don't start freaking out about conspiracies, but I notice you do. That's all.

Beggars cant be choosers. Lakers need scoring (hell, talent period). I like DLO and the rest of our kids but they aren't ready to take on the burden of scoring night in and night out.
