2016-17 NBA Thread: Finals are over, please go away (3 Viewers)

[Wildcat]

No

Strange.  its only on the game.  Commercials are fine.  It's like a flash for a camera is going off every 5 seconds.  Its annoying as ####

 

[need2know]

LeBron looking strong

 

[Dez]

Cavs doing all the things that will get them beat.  Giving up offensive rebounds leading to 2nd chance points.  LeBron not making his FT's.  GS getting the 1 position that is not an all star on their team doing most of the damage with 8 pts from the center position.  Curry and Klay yet to get going and Za and MaGee going nuts.  Durant doing major damage is the only 1 of the big 4 doing much right now yet game is tied because Cavs can't contain Zaza and McGee.

 

[BassNBrew]

Danm biased ABC...why are we getting a replay of James' little dunk and no replay of the dunk by the best player in the league?

 

[tjnc09]

Referees are big Cavs fans tonight.  

 

[Ghost Rider]

Fun quarter of basketball.  All of the stars playing well so far. 

 

[Capella]

What a great quarter. 

 

[Synthesizer]

Cavs getting most of the calls their way but still down 5.  That usually means it's about to get ugly for them.

 

[mozzy84]

First full quarter of basketball I've watched since the playoffs started. Picked a good quarter. 

 

[Weebs210]

Lol at the warrior fan boys saying calls going Cavs way.

 

[Dez]

Referees are big Cavs fans tonight.  

Is that why no calls with Love getting jersey held and LeBron hit on the arm ?  Good call though keep watching whatever your watching.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Yep, a few missed calls on both sides, but the officiating is fine so far. 

 

[BassNBrew]

McGee with 4 pts, 5 rebs, 1 last, and 1 block in 5 min.  Translates to 32, 40, 8, and 8 if he was free to play 40 min.

 

[Dez]

Warriors just have too many dominant players and those players are freeing things up for the non dominant players to make an impact.  Kyrie's outside shot not falling right now either that's a bad thing.  GS of all teams I have watched the last 3 years strips the ball down under the basket more than any team.  The Cavs hardly ever get balls stripped away or knocked away when in the paint but against GS it happens over and over again.

Cavs going to need a lot of luck to just keep this close enough going into the 4th but I don't see it happening.  

GS is going to continue to expand the lead and before we know it will be a 20+ point game.

It's like watching a replay of game 1 last year.

 

[ffldrew]

Nice D on Durant 

 

[mozzy84]

Nice D on Durant 

I watch very little basketball. Was that a travel? Wasn't that three steps? 

 

[Weebs210]

To many spinning moves by Cavs players lol

 

[Dez]

Offensive rebounds and dunk after dunk after dunk.  GS is getting such easy looks the Cavs D is invisible.

your.

[Weebs210]

your.  

This clown isn't biased or anything. 

 

[sports_fan]

How many open dunks is that for Durant? 

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Durant is eating CLE alive right now.  CLE with no answers....

 

[identikit]

Can anyone at least get in front of that Durant guy?

 

[need2know]

So the Cavs are apparently never going to get in front Durant going to the rim

 

[ffldrew]

Jr smith with a business decision 

 

[Ghost Rider]

Cleveland is so terrified of the 3 that GS is getting one easy dunk after another.  

 

[Weebs210]

Durant is hilarious. So pumped up. Hardest road guys.

 

[need2know]

How many open dunks is that for Durant? 

Like 5, maybe more

 

[bud29]

Cavs doing a good job of clearing out for Durant in transition

 

[tjnc09]

This clown isn't biased or anything. 

 

 

[ILUVBEER99]

LOL at anyone thinking CLE gonna win this series with the Durant add by GS.

The only way CLE has a shot is if GS has 2 of their top 4 get injured.

 

[Weebs210]

 

?

?? A lot of basketball to be played still.

 

[ffldrew]

Why start so late on Sunday. The could start at 6ET

 

[Dope]

That crowd is hyped. Reminds me of a MSG Ewing era playoff crowd

 

[Dez]

GS added Durant and the Cavs added Korver and D-Will...............not exactly the same type of players.

Everyone hyping this up as the rubber match but GS couldn't be a more different team when you add one of the top 3 players in the NBA to their team.

 

[need2know]

LOL at anyone thinking CLE gonna win this series with the Durant add by GS.

You do realize Durant is just taking away shots from Klay, curry, etc.  Hes great but only one ball.  Let's see how this plays out.

Yup...if you have a pitcher that never allows a hit, it doesn't matter if the other team has 8 other players that are better than your 8.

 

[Dez]

Klay and Green a combined 2/15 and GS still up 8.  Durant is the difference clearly.  Without Durant this series would be probably 50/50.  With Durant GS 90/10.

Just brutal watching this.

Only thing I can cling to is Cavs got smashed games 1 and 2 last year and somehow won but that isn't repeating this year.

Cavs will be lucky to win 1 game this year.

 

[need2know]

Cavs better start playing some better def and limit the turnovers or this will be a blowout

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Klay and Green a combined 2/15 and GS still up 8.  Durant is the difference clearly.  Without Durant this series would be probably 50/50.  With Durant GS 90/10.

Just beautiful watching this.

 

[tjnc09]

One half of basketball decided by eight points and everyone is declaring this series is over.

 

[shader]

Cavs are playing sloppy not getting boards and got slaughtered in 2nd quarter and their defense sucks so far....

And they are down 8 at halftime on the road.  Calm down.  Very few NBA games are won or lost at halftime.

 

[Charlie Harper]

Seriously, it's like people didn't spend a whole year telling us to never forget that the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead.

 

[Capella]

Why start so late on Sunday. The could start at 6ET

 

 

[Max Power]

Durant looks like he wants this ring more than anyone else on the court, and that is a scary thing...

 

[Dez]

LeBron 7 turnovers, Kyrie 3 turnovers Cavs as a team with 12 turnovers, GS has 1.  GS only 3 three pointers.  Cavs lucky not down 20.

 

[Capella]

Guys, slow down with your white-hot series declarations and takes after one half. You're going to burn yourselves out. 

 

[NutterButter]

this series is over
