NBA. Warriors Vs Cavs Final.

[Presti35]

Only 4 teams left now.

Currently Warriors/Thunder is 1-all with game 3 tonight. And Raptors/Cavs is 2-1 with the Raptors taking game 3 overnight.

I'd love the final to be Thunder/Raptors, but thats just not going to happen.

Sadly, I don't give Toronto much chance to get passed Cleveland. Hopefully they can at least make it to game 6.

OKC have a bit of a chance to get passed the Warriors, but they cant drop a game at home. But can OKC beat Cleveland?

I wouldn't have minded the Warriors winning again if they didn't beat the Bulls record of 72-10. But I'd rather them win it than Cleveland. And if Varejao wins one with the Warriors after 12 years with Cleveland, it would be unreal. I'd like to see Bogut have a bigger impact too if GSW are to win it.

This is getting very, very interesting. OKC looking the goods in the West and Raps just pull the series with the Cavs back to 2-2

I'm just willing for anyone but Cleveland to be honest, not a fan of the team, city, Lebron or Kevin Love (for obvious reasons), and the Dubs bandwagon is starting to shit me a little although I don't have a problem with the team itself.

An OKC title would have serious implications for Free Agency this season and next too, surely Durant and Russ commit long term to OKC if they pick up a ring this season.

Love that the Raptors have leveled the series. I just hope they can win a game in Cleveland.

Its true about the GSW bandwagon. Its making me crazy. I've got jerseys at home with Mullin, Hardaway, even Webber and I bet you that 95% of the bandwagoners have no idea who they are!

And then they'll tell you that this team would beat the 90's Bulls without knowing much about the game. I felt the same about the Heat fans back in 13-14, where are they now? Havnt seen a Heat jersey for a while. I remember asking a guy what he thought of Glen Rice as a player and he had no idea who I was talking about. Big Heat fan there.

If the Raptors or Thunder got up, I wonder if we'll see everyone jump on to their bandwagon? Ive got some old Raptors jerseys with Carter and TMac on the back. I dont have a Thunder jersey, but have plenty of Sonics jerseys. I dont have a KD Sonics jersey tho, wish I did.

With the Cavs, I guess its different. People have just jumped on LeBron. They havnt won a title, but you still get the comparisons to Jordan.

Getting back to GSW, I was pumped that they won it last year. And to see Iguodala get the MVP was great. But after the season theyve had and all the fans come out of nowhere, its been horrid. I love Steve Kerr, I'd like to see Verajao get a title, Id like to see Bogut have a bigger impact in the finals, but I hate the fanfare and comparisons to MJ/Bulls teams that will come with it.

So yeah, go Thunder. Go Raptors.

OKC 3, GSW 1.

Thunder can take the series tomorrow night in GS.

Raps/Cavs tonight in Cleveland, with the winner taking a 3-2 lead. Cmon Raptors!!

[Presti35]

Dammit Raptors.

For me its all Thunder from here.

So, Cavs and GSW it is.

I have to say that the last little bit of the 7th game between Golden State and Kevin Durant was almost engaging. I might be persuaded to watch the first game of the finals on Friday morning - but I'll probably fall asleep before quarter-time like I always do when I watch basketball.

[Presti35]

Talk about a blown chance.

Thunder all but had a finals birth.

Now we see two teams that I dont want to win it fight it out.

In saying that, I dont know if the Thunder could have beat the Cavs in the final?

Last year, I was all over the Warriors beating the Cavs. But after beating the 72-10 record, and the millions upon millions of Warriors fans that have suddenly appeared, Im not as thrilled to see them win it again.

It just seems that whoever wins this series will be getting compared to MJ and the Bulls teams of the 90's and that really grinds my gears.

At least one of them has to lose.

Game 1 of the final - Golden State lead the Cavs 52:43 at half-time.

[Pies4shaw]

GSW won game 1 104:89 Curry kept to just 11 points but GSW had a very even spread, with 43 points from three of their bench (Iguodala, Livingstone and Barbosa) and between 9 and 16 points from each of their starting 5, whereas the Cavs seemed to rely to heavily on their starting six (79 points from them and only 10 from their bench).

[Presti35]

Ridiculous. I woke up this morning to check the score (Game was on at 2AM for me). Couldn't believe it.

Not so much that the Warriors won. Not so much the margin. But the fact that Curry scored only 11 and Thompson only 9. Curry shot 4-15 and Klay 4-12.

Like Ive said, its hard for me to pick a team to go for in this series. (Last year was much easier). But the best outcome, I think, would be GSW winning and someone other than Klay/Steph getting the Finals MVP.

[Pies4shaw]

Well, at least Tom Brady can't win it!

[Pies4shaw]

Game 2 is tomorrow (Monday) morning at 10am AEST.

[Presti35]

2am for me!!! And my holidays end today....

[Pies4shaw]

And the Cavs now trail 0:2, after losing the second game 110:77.
