Let's talk Warriors/Cavs!

I am just starting to watch the game (DVR delay). Quick prediction: I think the Warriors are going to destroy the Cavs. Cleveland's defense isn't good enough with Love and Irving playing significant minutes. I think Steph is going to go off.

Warriors in 5.

A Paul Pierce,Doug Collins,Jalen Rose halftime show makes me never want to pick up a basketball again.

Will probably watch no games in this series. 2 least favorite teams in the league.

Listening to the Warriors home radio broadcast, and the announcers shared that Kerr has just smashed a whiteboard yelling at the team after a 7-0 Cavs run. Presumably for not moving the ball enough on O. Whatever happened, the Ws came out of the timeout and played amazing.

W's up 84-70 as I type.

Livingston + Barbosa = 25 pts
Curry + Thompson = 14 pts

The warriors have so much talent on that bench.

GS bench points: 39
Cavs bench points: 5

Damn. Haha

GSW up 20 now with 5:43 left in 4th.

Cavs are in deep doo-doo. Curry shoots 25% and Klay 33% and they still win by 15?

Weird, that is the Clippers in the West and Cavs/Knicks are a toss up in the East for me.

One thing I respect about the warriors. Even though they shoot so much I cringe sometimes, Curry and Thompson don't often shoot their team mates out of the game. Tonight, both were cold and so the rest of the team carried the offense. Credit to Kerr, as well, for sitting his stars for so long in the second half.

Lakers, Rockets, Celtics. Have you forgotten your roots?!

To be fair he said least favorites. I don't like any of those teams either, but these are my definite most hated.

Warriors in 6.

That pick was before Game 1.

Have fun everyone !

I still love Barbosa.

How about Barbosa and Livingston (I presume)?

Barbosa made some wild shots in this game. Or better said, all wild shots
It felt like this was a game for Cleveland to take with Curry and (especially) Thompson missing open shots, but it was also a wake-up game for them, because they didn't play a good offensive team all playoffs. We'll see if they can bounce back. That said I think that for all the talk about Cleveland being healthy and better this year, their style of play last year (defensive focus and rebound control) seems to cause Warriors more trouble. They were down against them and Grizzlies last year and OKC of course gave them issues this year.
My prediction is 4:1 Warriors, they win at home and split in Cleveland.
PS: I'm impressed with Iguodala's hands on defense.

Iggy is a monster and like others (Kawhi, LeBron sometimes), he is taking advantage of the new rules or just refs mindset that allow a great deal of contact when reaching.

If the Warriors win by that much when Curry and Klay are playing that badly, this is going to be a short series.
