NBA: *** Official 2015 NBA Playoffs Thread ***

[Rhoadhoused]

LeBron has 14 shots in the paint and has shot 2 FTs.

You have to think that catches up with GS if he can keep the energy to continue attacking like that.

cavs are terrible but warriors are just scrubbin

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

You are thinking the same way as me my man...it's our Cyclone rationalizing skills seeping into our Bulls fandom.

We gave the champs their toughest series!!! ;-)

it's looking like we did. Only team to be Cleveland on the road.

Stephanie Curry 1-6 and 3 points. Sure not the post season MVP...yet. He needs to wake up.

I'm calling it, out of necessity this series is the start of LeBron owning everybody in the paint the next 4-6 years. MJ's game got closer to the basket as he aged but he was only 6'6". Even in this series, I don't think he's as good posting up as he will be in a couple years if he wants to be.

Not sure what GS can do but they need to adjust and figure out a way to make him take jumpers. Really it's surprising he hasn't had more 3 point play chances.

 

[HFCS]

oh man...GS better get together just to keep this competitive and have their heads straight the next game.

GS kind of reminds me of ISU lately and Cleveland the taller physical teams we typically struggle against. (other than the whole LBJ thing)

 

[CRcyclone6]

Cleveland masonry companies lining up outside GS locker room right now.

 

[CRcyclone6]

Wow. Nice jam Klay.

It's pretty rare for a team to just blast their way to a Championship without paying dues. Still could go either way, but if Cleveland goes up 3-1 and they already played two OT games @GS...

If Cleveland goes up 3-1 they won't necessarily have to win another game in Oakland (assuming it doesn't go 7)

 

[Cyclonesince78]

Get Barnes out of the game.

 

[HFCS]

get a TO Steve

Lebron gets away with virtually anything.

As HFCS was saying...

He gets hacked a ton (more than they could ever notice or whistle, same as Shaq did) but he also gets some calls that no other player in the league gets.

Vs Chicago there was a play where Jimmy Butler jumped straight up for a rebound, got the ball, LeBron fell down beside him...foul on Jimmy Butler. Not sure any other player right now gets that call. Others have in the past, but right now that's a call one player in the NBA gets.

In some ways he gets the best calls, in some ways bad calls, but overall he gets the star advantage. It's a big picture question when you look at a physical player like Jordan or LeBron vs an elite shooter like Curry. Curry's just not going to get fouled as much regardless of how fair the refs are. LBJ has gotten better as he's fell out of love with that deep jumper except when he really needs it.

And Cleveland is just outworking Golden State right now. The Warriors are clearly more talented, but the Cavs just want it more.

 

[Cyclonesince78]

Damn, roids really make you good at basketball.

 

[CRcyclone6]

Wow. Curry might go down in history with Men Without Hats. Gotta show up Steph.

 

[CRcyclone6]

Ha, Ted. F Scott Fitzgerald

 

[HFCS]

it could be a long 2-4 years for the rest of the Eastern conference is this is what the new Cavs do with top players injured. Some of it is the Warrior's youth though.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

game over series over. Print the Cavs champs shirts.

Good Luck playing against this next year Fred. Going make playing KU feel like high school in comparison.

Is Kerr throwing in the towel or what? He knows he can't carryover timeouts to the next game right?
