Official NBA Finals Game 1 Thread: Cavs vs Golden State....State Your Pick

[YIAMSOMEBODY]

Who you got tonight for Game 1?

[WafflesBrah]

Cavs win by 10+.

Cavs win by 10+.

I think GS will be a little worn out from that 7 game series. Cavs are fresh and have been taking it light over the last week, so I think they take Game 1 by 5.

put all your money on the Warriors (for game 1)

thx for the tip brah, sold my house for this bet

[Bodybuild3]

Healthy cavs, high chemistry. I am optimistic about the Cavs chances. I honestly would throw JR on Curry and Kyrie on Thompson. JR has been looking pretty solid on D lately.

Delly on Curry for an additional pester session. He gave him problems last year and also played amazing in those games.

Cavs are going to need to utilize ALL their players this series. The guys who don't get a lot of burn, they need to be in it so they can give 6 fouls....slow the game down if GS starts to build a lead and get Bogut on the line or Ezeli.

Warriors and it won't even be close. This series won't even be close. Cavs are not on the same level as the Warriors

[testbug]

if the warriors go 2-0 and beat them comfortably(8+ point leads), i wouldnt be surprised if they sweep

[srom12]

In for Da Land.

Thread theme:





Cleveland by 8 points.

[TunsilsGasMask]

KerrBe and CurrBe. Its show time. We are going to bring out everyones favorite act: LeHoudini.

Lue said he wanted to push the pace, but I think that definitely won't happen and was probably just to feed the media.

In a starting line up, I would do Kyrie on thompson (less on-ball D), JR on Curry (length, better defender), Lebron on Draymond, Love on Barnes (lower offensive prescene, love is a worse defender), Frye on Bogut or Thompson for Boards. Will be interesting to see if cavs go small ball or try to just out rebound them. I think Love can defend Draymond if he uses his strength more and isn't playing passive. Lue seems to get him into an aggressive mentality which is good.

Definitely agree with Delly on curry. Delly is physical enough to annoy curry. Shump is great against Thompson as well imo, good match up.

Besides Lebron/Delly taking them to 6, but yeah u right bro.

[nn586]

can't wait til all these Lebronese stans get put to rest in this series. It may night be tonight, they might steal a game, but steph is gonna drag his nutsack all across lebrons face

warriors in 7

Man, the amount of GSW fanboys really skyrocketed here.

Love needs to stay on Bogut. He's too slow to stay with Draymond because Draymond likes to run point-forward at times, so Love is a liability outside the box. Inside though, different story....dude can't be fukced with on the boards. Same with Thompson.

I agree with Kyrie on Klay, Smith on Curry and LeBron on Draymond. Hell, I'll even take Frye on Draymond. Nah, let me take that back.

Kyrie/Klay
Smith/Curry
LeBron/Green
Frye/Barnes
Love/Bogut(I think Love wins this every game because he's quicker, better rebounder and can get Bogut on the wing where he doesn't want to be.)

Delly for help on Curry, Shump can guard Klay or Steph. Richardson and Mozgov, they need burn too. Jefferson played some damn good minutes last series and Mozgov went ham last year.

If they can keep a steady rotation and keep the ball moving, I see Cleveland winning.

[ChaseBromsley]

What do i get for picking right?

[criminal_manne]

Lebron cements his legacy as the best player to ever live.

Cavs win by 20+

[AreolaBorealis]

Don't care which team wins as long as Lebron loses

[nvrstopworking]

Very curious to see if CLE can match GS's small lineup by going with LBJ @ the 4 and Frye @ the 5.

[sooby]

GSW by 12

Gonna be in Vegas for the game, let's get lit!

Taking JJames' recommendation and putting $500 on Cavs spread.

Kyrie's off ball D is the worst part of his D.

[Bodybuild3]

Kyrie's off ball D is the worst part of his D.

Him playing off ball D on Curry is not preferable to him playing off-ball D on Klay

[waias15]

hmm lets see

uber-resilient team that just battled back from 3-1 down and being down 13 pts in back to back elimination games

or

the most mentally weak superstar of the generation

[tekkenbruh]

I see Cavs winning this game purely off GSW being tired. If not this one then g2 for sure. Will definitely be going for Cavs to cover the spread tonight
