Can't really disagree with much of this. I definitely think Pippen/Jordan would affect Steph and Klay. I just think Steph would still get his over the course of the series. And Tony Allen is a special kind of crazy. First team. All defense.allpurpleallgold said:
Cleveland is most likely not doing that again.dnc said:
Good point about Allen I think I repressed those memories.allpurpleallgold said:
As an alleged Grizzlies fan you should know that series flipped when Golden State stopped guarding Tony Allen so Memphis couldn't play him. Not because you can't possibly ever stop them for a full series.dnc said:
Can't speak for anyone else, but my claim is the 96 Bulls could not shut them down for the course of a 7 game series. For a game or 2? Sure, shooters have off nights, that's the nature of shooters. Memphis shut them down for a couple games last year too. Cleveland did to start the series last year as well. Klay's more inconsistent, but Steph always adjusts and finds his rhythm. He'll go off in this series too. Even though he might not need to.allpurpleallgold said:Good gameplan by the Cavs. Nothing you can do when the opposing teams role players shoot 90%.
Also I'm hearing the 72 win Bulls could never shut down Curry and Thompson, even though the 57 win Cleveland Cavaliers just did.
Seriously, you're saying the 2015 Memphis Grizzlies did it twice so that's the max, no one could ever be better than them. Nearly as stupid as saying some fucking rando Blazers player couldn't guard Steph therefore no one ever could.
I'm not saying two games is the max necessarily. I don't know what the max is. I am saying he has a history of having a bad game here or there or even a couple but always eventually finds his shot. I expect the same in this series.
I'll grant you what Barbosa and Livingston did last night is not repeatable. Do you think Cleveland is shutting Steph and Klay down like this multiple more times this series? I don't.
But just to be clear on my point on the whole Bulls/Warriors comparison, I don't think the Bulls would just clamp down and hold those guys to 0 points, I think they'd make them have to work harder to be less efficient. Tony Allen is really the only top tier perimeter defender those two have had to deal with in the last two years and he gave them hell. If you make those two less efficient and more tired then I think you beat Golden State. They won the last game but, you know, Cleveland.
I'll take irrelevant posts and those that agree with them for $400 Alex.
Everybody gets shut down by somebody every now and then unless they're a loser like Durant or LeBron James and brick or choke as many shots as points scored or sometimes more shots than points.
When it's not your night, you defer to the other guys who A) Have a better matchup or B. Have it goin' that particular night. or C) Abundance.
The Splash Brothers who struggled, put the game away in the 4th quarter with b2b 3's when they needed them.
Tony Allen isn't in the series nor is Michael Jordan.
I for one just hope there's no injuries due to the slippery floor tonight. -

I'm genuinely upset that the Finals are this shitty. I hope the NBA lives up to their corruption and helps Cleveland win the next two.

be thankful. we got 1 competitive series that actually meant something this year. up from 0 last yearRoadDawg55 said:I'm genuinely upset that the Finals are this shitty. I hope the NBA lives up to their corruption and helps Cleveland win the next two.

The Finals last year were competitive. I agree that OKC-GS has been the best series the past two years.dhdawg said:

Bum to the Bump!!!
What are you all main lining tonight for Game 6????? -
Sad this is on at the same time as the futbol match. ABC is silly to try to compete with the ratings juggernaut of an exhibition futbol tournament being held in the US.

OK i'M BACK. Man you do have to be careful nowadays who you offer an Avocado too. The good news is that I acted on my suspicions and did a cupcheck and my suspicions were proved true.salemcoog said:

We're going out tomorrow Night!!!! -
Cavs gonna blow it. Lebron decides he just going to shoot 3s at the end of the shot clock in the 3rd quarter.
Kevin Love is so bad defensively. Gives up the lane to Klay for last bucket of the quarter in order to get back to his man, Anderson Varajwowhsnai standing at the 3 point line. -
Game 7 will be interesting. I didn't think Curry could be worse at facing adversity than lebron is
-
All time performance from the King. Not game 6 at Boston great but damn good.
Going in to game 7 big advantage being at home for the Warriors but Lebron having played in a Finals game 7 is a big advantage for Cavs.
GS lost their composure tonight. Showed why young teams rarely win it all. I think GS comes out strong game 7, if Cleveland takes that punch, the Warriors fold. -
lmao ayesha curry's tweets
-
Injuries are becoming a huge issue in this series for GS ...
The whole series changed when LBJ baited Green and the league fell hook line and sinker into the suspension
Track record is strong for home court prevailing in Game 7 ... Kerr needs to make some adjustments ... he's got to start a 2nd big to protect the paint and take away some of the pressure on Green -

Looks like the NBA heads manufactured a 7 game series.

Lol that is pretty damn good. LeBron has nobody to blame but himself for the Curry fellating.allpurpleallgold said:nt
That's what's so frustrating about his career. That guy last night wins all 4 in Miami and probably last year too. He should be playing to match Jordan right now.
He needs this game 7. Huge legacy swing game on Sunday. -

Unfortunately the script for Cleveland and James is to do all this to get here and lose -
This playoffs, Harrison Barnes is shooting 7/23 (.304) on 3s with 10+ feet of room.

Pretty sure i know some people that can shoot better than thatGladstone said:This playoffs, Harrison Barnes is shooting 7/23 (.304) on 3s with 10+ feet of room.

Golden State totally ready to give Cleveland this game, everyone but Draymond.
-
It's set up perfectly for a Cavs comeback. Can't wait to hear about how the NBA rigged it for LeBron. Purp was right about Cavs in 7.

Green is the Warriors best player
