    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.

  • Late for work again today because of this series, I'm glad of the rest let alone the Cavs!

    BELIEVE

    I'm on to a winner.

  • I hope for the sake of Cleveland you guys don't riot after the Warriors win in 5.

    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.

    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.

    Horseshit. They gave Curry the MVP because they're tired of giving it to Le Bron. LBJ beats his sorry ass in virtually every statistic, except 3 point %. Not even close in rebounds and assists. LBJ does so much more than Curry- I'd bet if you polled the NBA GMs who they'd want on their team if given a choice- Le Bron or Curry, it wouldn't even be close, about 90% of them would want Le Bron. More proof of James' MVP value is without him- the Heat went from the NBA runnerup to a lottery team. Curry gets all those wide open threes because other teams respect his ability to drive to the basket. Steps back, and boom. Not saying he isn't a great player. Now if you want to say he's currently the best shotmaker on the planet- we might agree on that.

    Incidentally Curry is shooting .449 from 3 land, JR .396 in the playoffs. You may think that's hugely significant- I don't, works out to around 1.5 points for 10 tries. & I already said Curry is logging way more minutes per game than JR. BTW, Kyrie is shooting .481 from long range.

    What the hell are you talking about? Like almost averaging a triple double sucks? Oh, the opposition blows is your excuse? Le Bron doesn't have to shoot the lights out from long range, as long as he can still drive to the basket.

    FWIW, I saw the Rockets play pretty crap defense tonight for around 40 minutes- until it was too late for it to matter. Didn't help Harden played like garbage.

    Don't get your feelings hurt. I wasn't making the case for Curry for MVP was saying that right now he's playing better. I'm a huge Lebron supporter but once every two to three games he's "looter in a riot". He has had some awful turnover nights this postseason and he takes plays off. Now you can rationalize this by speaking to injuries but it is what it is.

    Kyrie vs Curry shooting is a fair comparison but stop with JR Smith comparison it's not even close.

    I'm talking about playing like game 2, 4 and 6 of the Bulls series. The Bulls were a tire fire at the end of the season as we are hearing now that Thibs is gone. 8-25 with 7 TOs won't be enough against the Warriors.

  • The last time the cavs played the warriors we blew them out. I'm so tired of bandwagon haters telling me how great every opponent is and how they're all going to beat us. Fuck off. Don't congratulate the cavs after the win. We don't need people like you. Crawl back to your hidey hole.

    Tire fire? Bull sh**t. The Bulls played the Cavs with a healthy Noah, Rose, and Butler. Care to tell me Gasol sucks when he's playing? Tibs somehow forgot how to coach? We didn't even have JR for the first two games. Yes, on the red I agree. I doubt he'll have 13 TOs like Harden did against Golden State though. No doubt James is struggling from the outside. but the numbers don't lie. Le Bron can F**king WILL his team to victory playing with a bum ankle, wrist, and back- when Curry can do that- get back to me.

    I'll posit the Warriors haven't faced a perimeter defense as good as the Cavs yet in the playoffs.

    Please just stop. Kindly quit giving Curry blow jobs. If your only criteria is points per game- wow- great- you win. Awful turnover nights by Le Bron? FYI he's averaging a measly 1\2 turnover per game more than Curry in virtually identical playoff minutes- so go get lost on that one.

    Curry has had a maximum of 6 TO's once, Lebron has had four 6 TO games a 7 & 8. Lebron has 7 more TOs in 1 less game. That's a disparity, oh wait you don't believe in stats since 50 percentage points shooting is a mere blip.

    The Bulls fired Thibs and the resulting information suggests that the team and management disliked pretty much everything he did the last three months. I do agree that Lebron's will has been extremely impressive.
