2015 NBA Playoffs Thread: The Zebras are Loose

You guys know I'm not Bron's biggest fan, but he's getting boned in this OT.

that overtime was so damn sloppy by both teams and all the missed calls

For people shitting on Dellevedova you need to get your eyes checked. He made a lot of critical plays in OT, specifically the free throws and the defense on Curry. This is the nba finals and he definitely belongs in the league.

People are right--Steph won't shoot that poorly again, but Thompson's not going to be that good every night, either. This series is definitely up in the air, especially if Cleveland can snag game 3.

THE CAVS HAVE WON A SINGLE NBA FINALS GAME.

I completely disagree. He took quite a few terrible shots, and Steph just being off had a lot to do with it. That kid can't defend Steph Curry. Not in the slightest.

The Cavs are 1-0 when I wear my Andrew Wiggins jersey

This narrative that is going to develop about Curry being bother by Dellavedova is about to be hilarious

 

[Hurricane Season]

Even without Kyrie, I still find it hilarious that anyone thinks the Warriors have a shot in this series.

Kyrie would not have been this good on defense. Busted kneecap is a blessing in disguise.

 

[elcheato]

Kyrie played pretty well defensively on Steph in game 1. It was actually Delly who got lit lol

Great and exciting win but the Cavs can't expect to win like this three more times. JR has to start playing better

Every night? Maybe not. 
 
But he's now had 30 games this season (postseason included) where he scored 25+. He averaged 21.7ppg on the season. 34 is a bit high, but 19 for Curry is a lot lower than normal. They combined for 53 points in Game 2, and it should be around the same, if not higher, for the rest of the series

 

[Delirium]

Curry is not gonna miss 25 shots again. In fact, as I have been telling people all playoffs, he needs to stop jacking so many threes. Same with his teammates. Run an offense and then if you have a good 3, take it. If not, do what you're supposed to do and try for a 2. They keep chucking the ball and it really cost them. If they take the time to look for just a few more good shots then they probably would have taken it.
 
Also Speights should have made that dunk but thats none of my business

Exactly. LeBron was great and all, but Steph Curry is not going to shoot 5-23 again. This was his worst performance all season.
 
 
JR and Shump went 7-26 combined, and Delly 3-10. You can't expect to win the Finals when your teammates can't shoot better than 40% from the field

 

[elcheato]

LeBron was 11-34 as well. The Cavs can't win like they did tonight again, but obviously they have room to improve for the up coming games.

They shot 32% from the field and won a game on the road. I'll take it, and assume, like the Warriors, they will also play better

 

[elcheato]

 
Officially dead

 

[Mexi]

That's an insanely bold statement there that you need to back up, because how in the world is AI overrated? He averaged 30ppg and carried an offensively anemic team to the Finals in 2000.

Averaged 26 shots a game shooting 42%

Weaker than now eastern conference

Carried them? Or did they carry him?
Defensive player of the year was on that team(mutombo)and so was george lynch, eric snow, aaron mckie, theo ratliff, tyronne hill
Even guys like kevin ollie, raja bell, matt geiger

That team was all defense

 

[Mexi]

But enough about ai

We might be witnessing something truly special here with lebron. Of he wins this, dont know how anyone can not put him in their top 5(should already be there but to many hes not)
