OT: Cavs vs. Warriors (Who Wins the NBA Finals?)

[rochrist]

I personally think it's ridiculous they gave Green a flagrant 1 and suspended him. They need to understand that this is the finals.

They do. They were frantic to not have it end on a Monday in five games. This way, if Cleveland scrapes out a win, they go back home and maybe get another and suddenly it's game 7 on Sunday night.

Pretty clear what's going on.

I can't wait for the Warriors to beat the Cavs even without Green. That will just be one more nail in the coffin for the Lebron excuse makers.

 

[Froob]

I don't know about that. I checked out some cleveland forums and they seem kind of fed up with his act.

Still much better off putting up with his bs than doing what they were doing before he returned.

I feel like there is a lot of people (not on this thread) that feel like golden state cant win without green. Golden State will win this game

Curry is due to go off. I think it happens tonight.

Jordan was a great player, there's no denying it - but he had great teammates too. When Jordan left the Bulls, they won 50 games and went to the conference semi-finals both season (with Jordan joining late in the 2nd year).

I am no LeBron fan, but when he left the Cavs, they went from 61 wins to 19. They became one of the worst teams in the league. He has never had the talent around him that Jordan had, even when he was in Miami.

It is sad and pathetic that I get enjoyment watching LeBron lose ...

But I am okay with it ... because I enjoy it immensely.

Bulls won 3 titles, lost jordan. 93-94 they win 50 games or whatever lose in second round. 94-95 they are 23-25 at the break and jordan comes back and they go 24-12 with him. lose in the 2nd round. then they 3 peat again, But no great player has ever done it by himself

So you are saying LeBron is better than MJ?

Interesting article from fivethirtyeight regarding James' postseason dominance and yet, failures in the final series.

Different players.

Yup. One an elite #1 option, the other an elite sidekick

What are your taking about. Pippen was on the all NBA 50 team

Yep.

I don't think they would have won more titles if DWade was playing and not Pippen.

No, I completely disagree with you. Green's jumping motion was a straight up and down, one that did not require him to kick out at any stage during that process. Furthermore, if you do a minuscule jump off the floor, kick out your leg and feel for yourself just how unnatural the motion is.

Green is a very good basketballer but he's a dirty SOB.

There is several clips of him kicking his leg out pretty high, mostly in the first video - jumping straight up & down, flailing back, on the run and more... all of which could've made contact with someone's nuts or stomach or face if they happened to be in the wrong spot. Adams was the guy who ended up in the wrong spot at the wrong time. I don't know what else to tell you. It's obviously a weird habit.
