Gonna be tough to close out game 7 in Boston, but I think LeGoat can do it

Christ LeBron is a monster. Anyone know what his stats are for the playoffs?

Mandark · « **Reply #20222 on:** May 25, 2018, 10:59:05 PM »

33.2/8.8/8.8/1.4/1.0 per game on .547 FG%, .621 TS%, .287 WS/48min.

So pretty decent.

Even though they won, the Cavs look worn down. Not a good look with only a day and a half of rest coming up.

It's the end of the season. Everyone looks tired.

GS offense looks like the worst I've ever seen it in the last couple of games.

Curry's shooting has been pretty bad. I think they can defend him as a regular shooter now instead of how it was the last couple of years. Put more pressure on Klay and Durant. And if those Durant isos don't deliver they might still lose the series.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #20227 on:** May 26, 2018, 04:19:25 AM »

I'm out of town until like Tuesday so I only got to watch a little bit of the game tonight. Lebron doing Lebron things as usual. Not sure about game 7. Guess it depends on who shows up for the cavs.

I'm back to being fully pessimistic on the Rockets/Warriors situation. Not because I think the Warriors are invincible anymore but because of that CP3 injury thing.

Ok, it's what? an 8 point difference? Let's see if any of this matters. I've seen point changes every time i've tuned in. None of this shit matters until the second half of the 4th but let's see.

Gordon is fucking up these free throws. That was a hell of a play to draw the foul though.

Also how about we ignore the dumbass outside of his dead daddy's thread?

this game gave me some hope for game 7, GSW are playing like trash

When the Rockets were up 33-19

and then that 3rd quarter happened

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #20252 on:** May 27, 2018, 01:10:02 PM »

That game last night was always going to the Warriors. The setup was just too much in their favor. Hopefully Rockets can win at home. That's why they fought so hard to win all those regular season games. For a game 7 advantage.

I don't have much faith in the Cavs supporting cast tonight but things can change when the pressure is on.

The Celtics have played fast and confident at home, will be interesting to see if they keep it up with a trip to the finals on the line.

agrajag · « **Reply #20254 on:** May 27, 2018, 01:51:33 PM »

Yeah my gut is saying Celtics are going to win.

agrajag · « **Reply #20255 on:** May 27, 2018, 09:40:00 PM »

The 3 isn't dropping for the cavs. Still a close game, considering.

That was a hell of an outlet pass to Hill. One more assist and LeBron has a triple double

ok, that was anti climatic. one min it's a close game, a few missed shots they pull ahead.

Nola · « **Reply #20264 on:** May 27, 2018, 10:59:09 PM »

Yeah both of these series have been pretty well officiated. Not lopsided and a lot of deference toward just letting the teams play.

This is honestly not the time of the season I really have an issue with the officiating. The conference finals and the finals typically have the sort of officiating you wish the league could maintain all the time.

Really not looking forward to yet another Warriors/Cavs finals, but Lebron has really helped cement his legacy this playoff run

Hopefully Houston pulls off a miracle tomorrow.

One of the more impressive accomplishments I've seen to backpack that group to the finals. If you watched any significant amount of Cavalier games this season, you understand that completely.

That was essentially the Cavs finals right there since they have no chance in the real finals.

Akala · « **Reply #20268 on:** May 27, 2018, 11:06:47 PM »

Choooo. Kinda rooting for Bron, if GSW gets through it could be a massacre tho.

I think you are right. About the only chance the Cavs really have is if Klay and Steph re-aggrivate their injuries or somehow the Rockets pull it off tomorrow. IF they could somehow get the Rockets, I think they would definitely have a punchers chance if CP3 can't come back.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #20271 on:** May 27, 2018, 11:10:43 PM »

Nice intensity game but super ugly.

Look at that 3 point shooting.

Celtics

7-39

Cavs

9-35

Super bright future for boston.

No Kyrie. No Hayward.

A hair away from the finals.

Still have future draft picks.

Still have assets to potentially trade like Rozier.

LeBron makes sweeping #1 seeded 60 win Hawk teams or 59 win Raptor teams look routine at this point. Doesn't mean those teams were "trash", LeBron was just better when it mattered.
