Yeah looks like it. Their 3pt shot hasnt let them down and Kyrie with key 5 points in moments Warriors closed down to 11

- - - Updated - - -

Cavs won, set NBA record for 3s made in finals with 24. Shot 53% for 3 (24/45), Warriors only 28% (11/39)

This only makes their choke job at the end of game 3 so much worse. This series was over the minute they fucked up the end of game 3. It's sad, because we should have been treated to a classic here with the series going back west tied 2-2.

Yep what PI said.


The final minutes to game 3 was inexcusable, because we knew they CAN perform like they just did in gam 4, it was a flat out historical level offense in so many ways, best first quarter ever, most 3s ever in nba finals (and 1 3 from tying overall NBA record), werent even that fire off best scoring NBA finals high score in 141.



Slow clap to Thompson this game for turning up with the much needed rebounds, besides whole team showing tons of urgency and drive to win 2nd balls and hustle nonstop. Thats before even considering everyone suddenly shooting lights out lol.


But KYRIE FUCKING IRVING, it did not feel like I was watching real life player with those moves, I mean I dont think we can even do that in 2k17



Btw wtf was up with the refs? How does Zaza escape hitting Shumpert in the nuts, Green climbing on Thompson like a caged lion out to feast, and more bizzare, the sitaution of not giving him the 2nd technical foul and eject? That 2nd sitaution didnt feel like a technical to me and would been unjust, but how do you NOT give it because you decide in retrospect that 1st awarded technical foul in 1st half was not for him, but Steve Kerr, when everyone saw Green elbow the fuck outta shumpert (they must hate this guy lol), he was lucky that wasnt even flagrant, but somehow announcer and the officials who told him it was on Green, who had heard it from refs themselves, are all wrong or misheardand 1st technical is wiped for Green when he faces ejection? Such a weird refereeing case...

 

[zizinho]

The refs were terrible all game, making stupid decisions, trying to compensate later, watching replays too much and too often. I dont know any of them but read these arent even the best refs the League has. Why the fuck would you then send them to officiate the finals anyway? The game was unwatchable in the 2nd half despite so many great offensive moments

And yeah Kyrie is a fucking monster. Molested them whole game and especially in moments Warriors are trying to close down the lead

This guys channel is great

 

[ALC]

If anything, the refs were siding with the Cavs way too much. Gave em way too many stupid fouls that the Warriors didn't get.

 

[Raz]

How did he change it 3 times? Was there another club besides Cleveland and Miami?

Yeah sorry, two times

Really curious to see how Wolves move things in off season, and in draft (prerably an experienced PF and two way PG who can friggin shoot), to better utilize this insane beast of a player more next season:




Youngest player in the NBA history to average 25 ppg. and 12 rpg. he's also the youngest player in the league history to have 2000+ points 1000+ rebounds,100 threes made in one season





This was still not enough to be an all star

 

[Osman]

This Greek freaks mixtape is INSANE





Word is Dirk is helping him off season to improve his jump shot, imagine that litterally only part of him thats not perfect and if he improves it, he'll be dubbed the Greek God of Basketball

Rumors of Sacramento trading up to #2 to get Fox are getting stronger. They are obsessed with him, it seems.

#5 and #10 to Los Angeles, #2 to Sacramento is the latest.

No idea what to think but dont want to help out the Kings

Thats weird no? I mean do they think you will take fox at 2 or what? Ok yeah he is likely to go 3rd or 4th, but sacrifice 2 picks on that gamble?


And if you do that deal, what would you do with those 2 picks?

If Fox can work on his shot, you could say that he has a chance to be the 2nd coming of John Wall. Physically, he's miles ahead of Fultz, Ball, and Smith.

Miles ahead. He is ball dominant though, as are most point guards not name Lonzo Ball.

If the Lakers get 5 and 10, if Josh Jackson is there at 5, I would grab him, and then trade 10 and 28 to move up to get Smith.

If Jackson is not there, then I would grab smith at 5, and Isaac at #10, if Isaac is there

 

[Osman]

Solid plan, except Jackson won't be there at 5 imo. And Isaac's will to between 6 and 8, latter top 10s isn't too stacked so he will be taken before 10. Most likely by Wolves.


Anyways just make it easy for yourselves and take Lonzo.

Taking Lonzo seems like the most logical option, but you never know what could be a smokescreen right now.

What would happen to DAR if lakers draft lonzo ball ?

I would move him to off guard. He averaged 15.6 ppg and nearly 5 assists in only 28.7 mpg last season. And he is still only 21. Put Clarkson as the 6th man on the bench.

- - - Updated - - -

His numbers per 36 minutes last year would have been 20 ppg, 6 apg as a 20 year old PG playing in the west. i think he could do better as a SG

I don't think he can be a SG, he is too slow and won't be able to guard shooting guard.

Most of these PG's can't guard each other anyway, and it's no different with Shooting Guards.

Take a look at the top shooting guards in the league, and tell me who of them can defend? Aside from the SG who plays for Detroit and maybe Oladipo

Bar 2 or 3, all SG don't give up size on other shooting guards, and some of defend or at least can stay with their man ( Smith, Redick, fournier, Rodney hood, MKW....)
And they you have great defensive SG like ( Green, Allen, Klay, KCP...)
I don't think it's a good idea to play DAR as a SG, maybe bring him off the bench as a 6th man.
