Wouldn't be shocked if Irving outplays Curry in finals..

[Kingwillball]

At least makes it a push. This guy offensively has been rolling and has something to prove.

[plowking]

Wouldn't be surprised if Curry completely outplays Bron.

[STATUTORY]

certainly would be less shocking than Lebron outplaying Curry

[Dray n Klay]

Wouldn't be surprised if Curry completely outplays Bron.


Yea because he did it last finals :hammerhead:




Curry won't even be the best player on his team. He wasn't last finals, and he definately wasn't these playoffs

[sd3035]

not a bold prediction since he's the Cavs best player, and Steph is injured

[KingPush]

Curry will actually have to play defense this round. If he doesnt guard Kyrie hes gonna have to guard JR who'll rain threes all over him

[Kingwillball]

Wouldn't be surprised if Curry completely outplays Bron.

Well that will never happen lebron as usual will be best player on court.

[Kingwillball]

2/7 definitely coming! What a time! :bowdown:

[Indian guy]

:oldlol:

I can't believe Curry still has doubters. Westbrook is a far superior player to Kyrie and Curry ended up outplaying him handily by series' end. Kyrie guarding Curry is something I don't even wanna think about.

[plowking]

Well that will never happen lebron as usual will be best player on court.

He outplayed him in both meetings this year.

[KingPush]

He outplayed him in both meetings this year.
With Blatt

This team looks way different compared to that one

What about last finals...

[knicksman]

Lolz. What matters is the clutch bro and curry shits on him. So better hope irving gonna carry brons ass coz if he cant beat last year curry, how much more for this one.

Curry wouldn't need to even try that hard. Iggy, a bench player, outplayed Lebron.

[bdreason]

Curry will actually have to play defense this round. If he doesnt guard Kyrie hes gonna have to guard JR who'll rain threes all over him

JR is easy to defend because all he does is shoot 3's. Force him to attack the rim or pass and he'll check out. I expect to see a lot more shumpert than JR in this series.

Besides Curry JR might be best bad 3 shot maker in league .. Cavs just need him to keep GS honest and he will cause you can't sag off him like Robertson.

[plowking]

What about last finals...

Lebron has to shoot better than 40% this time.

Lets see how he does with an even more broken jumpshot.

I don't care. I'm not that invested. He has achieved as much as my Heat since leaving. Only difference is he has given player fans like you hope, which gets crushed.

You seem like you're in your 20's. I don't get how you don't feel embarrassed following another man around. :oldlol:
Seems like more of a kid thing to do. I mean, you can be a fan of him, but literally only cheering for an individual in a team sport? That is bizarre... :oldlol:

[bdreason]

Besides Curry JR might be best bad 3 shot maker in league .. Cavs just need him to keep GS honest and he will cause you can't sag off him like Robertson.

If the Cavs beat us because JR Smith is making bad 3 point shots, I can live with that. We won't need to sag off JR... we can sag off LeBron.

[tpols]

Besides Curry JR might be best bad 3 shot maker in league .. Cavs just need him to keep GS honest and he will cause you can't sag off him like Robertson.

the thing is Cavs dont have a scoring threat that necesitates a double like the Thunder did .. if KD gets within like 18 feet, you have to send the double or hes shooting it right in over the top.

Theres absolutely nobody on Cleveland that requires a double in this matchup. So.. just stay home.

Kyrie? Lebron?

Lol, just quit trolling

[Dray n Klay]

LOL tpols was trying to argue Thunder would be a harder matchup for the Cavs once they were up 3-1



Now that GSW won he's trying to convince himself why the Warriors pose problems for LeBron


It's funny watching him work these logical fallacies, forcing himself to believe things that he wouldn't previously :lol




Basically anything to see LeBron lose.

[game3524]

Kyrie? Lebron?

Lol, just quit trolling

You don't have to double Lebron from outside of the paint, with Durant you do because he can actually shoot.

GS is going to dare Lebron to hit outside jumpers and he hasn't done a good job of doing so all year long.

[tpols]

Kyrie? Lebron?

Lol, just quit trolling

Lebron lmao? You sag off him. Very simple. Hell make some shit happen regardless with his drive and kicking, wont doubt that, but you never double Lebron. wtf dude?


Kyrie's real nice, but no different from a damian lilliard type, hes a weak mans steph and even steph hasnt been getting doubled much in this years playoffs.

Exactly, so he'll play in the post like hes been doing all year. Where he'll draw double teams and pass out to the open shooter

This is literally what he did last year in the finals except he could only pass to JR and Delly


This time he has Kyrie, JR, and Love to make the three

[moongaze]

Did someone really reference the games this year, in which Kyrie just returned from surgery and no off season basketball work as games that curry outplayed him? Kyrie was mad rusty back then. Even tony Parker outplayed him then. He was losing a lot of pg matchups that he normally wins then and you could tell he wasn't 100 percent. He's gone against three decent pgs this postseason and outplayed them all. Should be a great matchup between the two. Kyrie is putting up similar numbers as curry this postseason

I think GS will not double him regardless. If he eats in the post, I think that is fine for GS since it is much better then the shooters going off.

Andre Iguodala is no Demarre Carrol or Kent Bazemore. :oldlol:


You should have learned that last year.

[Straight_Ballin]

A GSW team that was down 3-1 against the team that beat the Spurs is somehow going to lose against the Cavs.

Either my hometown city wins a ring or Bron walks out of Cleveland with his tail between his legs.

Either way I win. What a fvcking time! :cheers:

I still think the Thunder would whoop cavs ass .. their collapses when they get slugged by great 3 pt shooting barrages is a bit discouraging, but yea cavs have no one to guard KD unless they want shumpert in full time, which takes away from their ATG shooting, and they would get pounded on the glass worse than the warriors did. Westbrook would also be like a bull in china shop tossing little kevin and kyrie around.

Thats the west for ya.

Curry had an all time regular season but doesnt seem as strong in the playoffs( probably injury had to do with it but last post season he regressed too)

[Rocketswin2013]

he would have to actually stop curry. honestly he would make a bigger impact in this series giving curry trouble defensively, vs constantly iso-ing against him and attacking him.

Your entire post was just dumb conjecture.

To say Cavs have no one to guard KD is simply pure ignorance, and you know it.

And how would they get out rebounded worse than the Warriors when the Cavs have better rebounders at every position except maybe PG.

In terms of rebounding:
TT>Bogut
Love>Draymond
Lebron>Iggy/Barnes
JR/Shump=Klay
Kyrie<Steph

Nobody is catching feeling, your post was just too dumb to provide a real argument.

The cavs were the 9th best rebounding team in the league.

Golden State was 4th best rebounding team in the league.

:facepalm


This year OKC set the record for offensive rebounding rate, heard that bit during tonights game. You cant get away with having a 6'7 PF (Green or Love) in against their frontcourt comprised of 3 near seven footers and think youre going to win rebounding battles. Westbrook is also an upgrade over their smaller PGs (kyrie and curry) on the glass.


And no, Cavs didnt have anyone for KD. Bron could do a nice job in spurts for sure, but he cant waste energy chasing him all over the court on defense for the whole game (this is why battier did this for him in miami).

[Funktion]

Lmao @ murdered. A lil strong there. Only reason Cavs stayed in game 1 was because of Bron.

You say it's all about match ups, but then go on to ignore the match ups because they don't fit your agenda.

How well did the Thunders rebounding fair against golden state then? Was it enough to win them the series?

Point is that the Cavs would beat the Thunder. And Lebron could definitely gaurd Durant and entire series, especially with how bad he is now.

But you're a Kobetard, no matter what is presented before you you'll say whatever it takes to downplay Lebron.

Good talk bud.

People dont realize that Irving actually gets better in the playoffs

Curry had an all time regular season but doesnt seem as strong in the playoffs( probably injury had to do with it but last post season he regressed too)

In the last 3 games facing elimination against a superior team Curry averaged 32.7 ppg with a TS of 64.7%.

LOL...not kyrie or Lebron huh? GTFOH. Lets see them play 1 up vs either of those two. Kyrie can cook Curry or Thompson 1 on 1. Last year Iggy could funnel lebron to the help. He cant do that this year. We will see...

[DukeDelonte13]

do people forget that curry really didn't do much last finals?

I expect the same this time around. Cavs will lock him (and Klay) up with a combo of Iman, Delly, Lebron, and JR.

Cavs are going to force the GS roleplayers to beat them just like last year.



Cavs are the major underdog here. They match up decently with GSW, and they got more firepower than last year, but i don't know if they are mentally tough enough to do it. They can't check out of the game when GSW starts chucking and hitting silly 3 pointers and goes on 9-0 or 12-0 runs.

Curry was their leading scorer by 10 ppg but he didn't do much? He had one bad game.

Everyone on their team wet the bed except Curry and Iggy. Doubt they will be so nervous this time around, especially after barely surviving against OKC.

He did fine last years game 1 on one leg.. Besides like 60% of Curry's shots are 3 pointers that you can't do anything about. He either makes them or misses them. I don't see how Kyrie's defense would hurt the Cavs all that much.
