New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[jadis]

While the 2 games have been big wins by GS, they shouldn't let down their guards as these were home games, and I'd like to think that Kerr and the rest know that what they did was to protect home court, which is a very good thing. Cavs beat the Raptors the first 2 games by easy margins only to see the Raptors surprisingly climb back to 2-2 in Toronto. Let's see. Warriors have an awesome combination of players and to beat them 4 times in a series is proving to be difficult as OKC has found out. For the longest time, Bogut was like an ornamental center but last night he blocked 5 shots and the other night scored in double figures. Then Ezeli would do a Mahinmi and suddenly knock in a few points. And of course, Draymond Green owned Game 2 and carried the team with his 3s and I think his antics after points made has surpassed Barkley or any chest thumping player. Winning game 3 would really be huge for the Warriors. Kerr is really good. Oh, did anyone see how he chopped his drawing board in Game 1? Talk about scare tactics...

Game 3 starts in about an hour. Pressure is on the Cavs to win one on their home court.

They haven't looked good so far. Let's see what they can do today.

 

[jadis]

Love is reported to be out of tonight's game.

And it seems that in the past wins of the Cavs, they look good while James directs plays and 'coaches' on court. The thing is he can't do the same effectively on defense which can only be done by Lue. And clamping down the Warriors is the biggest challenge, as OKC found out first hand in the last 3 games of the series.

 

[WLVCA]

I didn't realize that Love was out tonight. That dude is fragile, speaking politely.

Not speaking politely, he is a p---y !!!!

 

[WLVCA]

Cavs up by 19. Good thing I don't bet on these games. I wouldn't have any money.

 

[jadis]

Cavs on a shooting tear. Home court gives energy.

 

[Steve Williams]

Warriors blown out from the opening tip off. They were never in the game. Trystan Thomas was huge for the Cavs

 

[JackD201]

They are really better without Love. I bet they wish they hadn't traded Wiggins. I thought that was a mistake from the start.

 

[jadis]

Jefferson is suddenly the grand old man of Cleveland. Warriors have to find a way to go against this energized team.

Love needs to be in a team that has him as first option.

Hi

Steph Curry is re-writing the history book. He needs however one thing to be spoken in the same breath as the Greats: He needs to play great Championship Finals. That hasn't yet happened. His performance dips dangerously to "choke" level when comes the Finals. They won last year but not because of him and they lost yesterday because of him. His shooting was poor, his passes were not precise, his decision-making poor, his ball handling just adequate, his ball protection abysmal. He played like a bad player and the team could not get past the hot-out-of-the-gates Cavs. He looked lost, frustrated, ordinary.
The greats rise to the occasion.. The greats shine during the Playoffs and especially during the Finals: Magic, Bird, Russel, Jordan, Kareem, Olajuwon, DWade, LBJ, yes him too, etc will raise to a level were they carry their team and teammates to victory. Steph Curry hasn't shown or done that yet. THis championship series is a serious test for him. The Warriors will likely win and people will somehow forget how poorly he performed, if he doesn't come out of that championship funk mode that will stain his legacy ... Remember people, last year the Warriors won but it wasn't because of Step Curry, They in spite of his barely adequate play.

And to add, lately Steph has been in foul trouble early. And he shows frustration when he gets whistled for a foul though not the whining James type. And I think being yanked out due to foul trouble also takes his rhythm out a bit. And yes, he's not been his MVP self lately. Game 4 must be treated like a must game for the Warriors as Cavs can be dangerous with a wounded Love as shown last night. I'm amazed at the toughness and conditioning of the 'old' Jefferson. The D of the Cavs were very good as well last night, and I'm sure Kerr will have to stir the Warriors to a higher level for Game 4. Cavs shoot very well specially at home. So the shoe is on the other foot now, Cavs hitting their 3s while Warriors missing theirs. Somehow if the Warriors keep it close the next game they have a good chanve at stealing it and then, to the 4-1 finish.

 

[WLVCA]

Klay Thompson claiming Mosgov played dirty. Give me a break.

Anybody who plays on a team with Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut has a lot of nerve claiming any other player is dirty.

Those two guys make a living playing dirty.....and they aren't even subtle about it. They are just as bad as Serge Ibaka, King of Cheap Shots.

Jefferson reminds me a little of Ron Harper in his later years though I think Harper was a better player. Alike in that athleticism level high enough to remain competitive despite decline in speed/quickness, etc.

Interesting...

Game 4 coming up. Will Curry prove his critics wrong? Hey, wasn't those critics the same ones that stomped on James before? Or is Cleveland's defense really bothering his shot? Maybe Lue (the Iverson stopper) designed a stop-a-Curry ploy as well.

We've seen during the regular seasons, Curry shooting over Short, average and tall players. He did the same against the best defenders in the league in such a way as to become routine. Heck! He must have an above 40% average shooting the ball from midcourt .... During both Finals he's played, he was was subpar, showing flashes of brilliance nothing consistent... Remember the job Delly did on Curry last year? Did anyone consistently shut down, Magic, Bird, Jordan, Iverson, LBJ?
Curry is playing for his legacy and his reputation tonight and I think he will show up. The kid is mentally though else he wouldn't be that good during he regular season in this NBA league.

Either Curry rises, or the bench should rise. Iggy needs to flash his finals MV P form.

 

[jadis]

Tristan Thompson is Magneto. Boy, somehow the ball just drops into his hands.

 

[Steve Williams]

May drop into his hands but the win column falls to the Warriors. Terrific game finally between the two teams.

Smash brothers and Igoudala show up
