Cavs playoffs

Thompson, Jones and Moz added to the others have been Huge Keys in Both Series. Before the Hacka starts, closeout Hawks Than move Forward. Teague and Bazemore need Lam beer ed in the lane and Perkins is still on the Bench. Somebody Wake up D. Blat..

The warriors and ,indeed, the entire west are way overrated

Yeah- ya want to be a negative Nancy? OK- Bogut & Iguadola aren't stiffs. It's going to come down to perimeter defense. Hate to tell you- Smith on a good night can match Curry 3 for 3.

That may be the funniest thing I've ever read. JR Smith 32 made 3's Curry 64

I hope you realize Smith doesn't play anywhere near the minutes Curry does. For the record Smith (regular season) averaged a 3 pointer for every 11 minutes played. Curry averaged 9 Har, har.

Seriously, you think I haven't been watching the Western Conference Playoffs? Curry is an improved version of Teague. Almost identical height & weight.

At least Houston pulled one out of their sorry asses.

Let`s hope the cavs keep the pedal to the metal and sweep the hawks while curry has his shoulder fall off his body.

Even with an unhealthy and beat-up Kyrie Irving, this team still matches up pretty well. The question will be, "How do the Cavs slow down Curry AND Thompson?" If they put Shumpert and Lebron on the two, who does Kyrie guard? If Kyrie has to match up against Curry, it will be a very interesting series...

good stats- I seriously doubt they'll put Irving on Curry- my bet it will be Shumpert. Problem would be Kyrie is giving up too much height if he has to guard Thompson.

30 pt win. I'd say that is putting the pedal to the metal. Now they get some rest time.

I believe now that we will defeat the warriors in 6 games

SUPERBASKET! Or whatever it's called in the NBA.

You haven't been watching if you think Curry and Teague are even in the same league. Curry is the best player on the planet right now, hence the MVP nod over Harden. Curry shoots 3's at a percentage JR Smith can't even sniff he's 50 points higher this post season and 70 points higher for his career. I truly hope you are just going homer on this one.

You're such a fuckin douche. the warriors are going to get handled and I expect you to eat some crow when they do.

I always admit when I'm wrong, as I did with the Chicago prediction. I admire the heart the current Cavs team has shown but mistaking the offensive ineptitude of the Bulls and the Hawks for great defense is wrong. The only way the Cavs have a shot is if Lebron and Kyrie play incredible consistently and to this point in the playoffs that hasn't happened.
