Cavs cant beat the Warriors or Spurs in a 7 game series. They are bad matchups for them and will get out coached against either.

Last I saw Cavs are like 1-5 to win the East. No one is challenging them. I predict they lose no more then 2 games on there way to the finals. GS has been great, but LA, Okc and San Antonio won't just roll over. Plus I don't think they will sweep teams like Portland or Houston in the first round. Cavs can beat anyone if clicking... Look at the game in Okc 2 Sundays ago. I also predict they will be very fresh. Its not like taking Lebron, Irving and Love is going out on some major limb.

Didn't they almost beat the exact same GS team w/out Irving and Love?

Warriors and Spurs are better this year. 7 game series cant see them beating either. Cavs resort to too much watching LeBron dribble in playoffs. Bad recipe against those teams.

Under these rules Golden State is arguably as dominant as Jordan's Bulls.


LeBron is by far the most physically gifted athlete in the history of the NBA. The problem is he's a narcissist and is surrounded by yes men who would never have the testicle fortitude to tell him he needs to slow his role and just focus on the actual game of basketball instead of the business side of it.

The biggest disappointment in NBA history. A typical representative of the youth today.

Participation trophy.

The rings he got in Miami are weak sauce and can never compare to the greats.

RHT2004 03-02-2016 05:10 PM

Bron back to Miami? He can opt out.

RHT2004 03-02-2016 06:26 PM

Love the Clippers tonight. Laying off though.

Pants II 03-02-2016 06:49 PM

It doesn't matter what he does. If the Warriors stay together and stay healthy they will win 3 in a row. Maybe 4.

They will have to stop calling touch fouls and I just don't see that happening with all of the internet moms trying to ruin contact sports.

Silver is a smart guy. He wants Northern California locked in.

It's good business.

Pants II 03-02-2016 06:53 PM

Plus Stephen Curry has a huge chip on his shoulder and a killer instinct.

Don't let the baby face fool ya. He's going to be one of the greatest to ever lace them up.

Maybe I'm biased. Im just not ready to say 2 rings is it for Lebron. Quietly the guy is 30 and averages 26 7 6

I'm not a fan, but I can't argue this. He is great.

It's going to take 3 top players to decide on pay cuts. Bigger cuts than what they did in Miami.

They'll need help even with 3 stars.

I just don't know how you can counter Curry-Thompson-Green the way the game is now.

It's really not fair. Green is other worldly most nights. Watching them is baffling really.

I love Green. Wish Lebron had him instead of Love. Hell I wanted Melo at the deadline for Love.
Part of me still thinks Kyrie can be as good as Curry.

It doesn't help that the retired greats are mostly dismissive of what the Warriors are doing. And I get it.

But they're lying to themselves if they think it isn't difficult to maintain such exceptional shooting.

RHT2004 03-02-2016 07:05 PM

Are you a Buddy Hield fan?

Pants II 03-02-2016 07:22 PM

He's good and will probably be a better pro.

But I'd take Murray. Hope they meet up.

RHT2004 03-02-2016 07:55 PM

Detroit on a 10-0 run in San Antonio.
