Tell me why the Cavs won't win it all?
>>65730240

it's finally time for me to leave this board, this is literally what new /sp/ thinks
>>65730240
your mums reliant on me abusing her arbitrarily painted line
>>65730263
Have you ever played basketball before, you stupid cuck?
>beat the a spurs when pops wanted them to lose
because warriors are the better team
>not abusing an arbitrarily painted line that allows you to score more points
>>65730263
He didn't even mention jumpshots...
>>65730278
>better team
>5 losses
Sure
>>65730240
>arbitrarily painted line that scores the most points
Will OP ever stop being mad at Curry?
>>65730240
>lebron's back is bad because he has to carry this shit team
>>65730294
what other team in the NBA has 5 losses or less?
>>65730297
I'm a LeBron fan
He's won more championships and MVPs than Curry can ever dream of
>>65730294
I was really hoping for them to go 78-4 so they could double their losses in the first round
but no they suck too hard
>>65730317
>he has a whopping 2 to curry's one
>curry won his by beating Lebrons cavs
Best player plays for Warriors though
>>65730270
Have you? Come on pal, just because you dropped 15 points in an under six-foot rec league game once doesn't mean you're a basketball genius
>>65730289
"arbitrarily painted line"
>>65730317
Curry will probably really good for another season or two before just focusing on dropping threes becomes the norm. He'll just seem like another shooting guard then.
They're not the best team because the warriors are on pace to literally be the best team in the entirety of NBA history. Your only "argument" against them is that they take meme shots....
>>65730346
another SG with the best handles in the game, eyes in the back of his head, an incredible ability to finish at the rack/around bigs
>>65730380
>muh basketball buzzwords
>>65730331
thats like saying peyton beat the panthers
curry was essentially a kobr-tier liability outside of 1 game
>>65730352
The Cavs weren't healthy last year and took that "team" to 6 games
What makes you think this year will be any different?
I can't necessarily blame people for thinking the Warriors are better than us considering they beat us twice and blew us out at home. However, playoffs are such a different animal. LeBron singlehandedly beat the Warriors in two Finals games last year. If we have Kyrie and Love this time around, it will be interesting.
That said, anyone who thinks we're not gonna win the East is absolutely fucking delusional. The amount of mediocre East teams who I've heard are supposedly gonna "upset the Cavs" in the playoffs is hilarious. Raptors, Celtics, Heat, Bulls, Hawks, Pistons, Hornets lmao.
The Warriors and Spurs are one thing, but if you think any of those East teams can beat the Cavs in a seven game series, you're a fucking retard. There's no nicer way of saying it. Kyrie and Love can both go down in the first round and the Cavs will still be a lock for the Finals.
>>65730415
curry scored 20 or more points every game
what the fuck are you talking about
>>65730421
Don't explain anything to these casuals who put stock into the regular season
>it's a "the warriors don't play basketball in the way I like so I'll call them a meme" episode
>>65730417
The dubs are a young group of guys who are getting better individually and as a team every year. I don't expect it to go past 5 this year
>>65730440
isnt this entire thread based around how the Cavs are playing in the regular season?
>>65730445
The Warriors aren't even playing basketball
Theres a reason why NBA ratings are dropping. It's up to the Cavs to save it
The only team that can possibly stop the Warriors is the Spurs. The Eastern Conference playoffs is basically just the consolation bracket of the NBA.
>>65730474
Spurs, Thunders, Clippers..
Hell even the Blazers
>>65730491
>Clippers
>Spurs and Thunder would have to beat 3 elite teams in the playoffs to win the championship
>Cavs only have to beat 1
such bullshit
>>65730452
>better every year
Ahahahhahahaha
Getting blown out by 30 then struggling against the Clippers 3 times is better? On what planet?
>>65730503
If it weren't for shitty ref calls the Clippers would've won yesterday
>>65730491
The Thunder have an outside chance but that's it.
>>65730240
>best team in the eastern conference
You answered your own question anon
>>65730515
if it werent for the clippers being shit and not holding the lead the entire game the entire time, yes, the clippers wouldve won
>>65730471
Okay fuck it, here's a (You).
good job on this one
>>65730516
You think KD appreciates having his name associated with such a subpar franchise like the Warriors?
He'll play extra hard against them
>>65730505
the one where they've played 54 games and only lost 5 times
>>65730540
4 of the losses were complete blowouts and 1 was to the DENVER NUGGETS.
You don't get blown out in the NBA and not be called out on it
>>65730566
it makes no difference who it was to. The've only lost 5 times
And the Cavs pretty much have 82 home games since LeBron has fans anywhere
Let me know when the Warriors get road fans
>>65730471
This is why I don't get why NBA fans aren't rooting for the Cavs like underdogs. Everyone shits on us Cleveland sports fans and we've gone many decades without a championship yet we're still great sports fans. Lebron, who's from here, returned from the evil empire in Miami to save us. It's such a great story and now in the Finals this year we're going up against a team that's cocky as fuck with Steph and Draymond that does nothing but spam 3s. They don't have any other strategy and it's killing the game. On a variety of different levels, the Cavs are the good guys and the Warriors are the villains.
>>65730578
Uhh the Bay Area is insanely tortured as well
>>65730572
there are mvp chants when Curry is at the FT in away arenas and kids are bandwagoning the Ws all over the country.
>>65730578
Steph and Klay are the good guys because theyre light skinned
Lebron is as big and dark as a silverback which is why he is precieved as the villan
>>65730578
are you an idiot, or do you actually the entire warriors offense is Curry shooting 3's
>>65730578
Most NBA fans outside of /sp/ are cheering for LeBron.
He's THE face of the NBA and the reason why the NBA got so big
>>65730582
SF Giants have won multiple world series very recently you tard
>>65730604
don't bother engaging with him lad
golden state patriots
everyone hates them just because they win
>>65730617
>mass bandwagoning is the reason the NBA is in good form
wew lad
>>65730578
If they do nothing but spam 3s how did the cavs get BTFO twice by GS :^)
aren't they supposed to be good
>>65730655
If there was no 3 pointer, the Cavs would have won the Christmas game handidly and the second game in CLE would have been close
>>65730667
yah, but since the 3 pointer has been around since 1979, your argument means nothing
How good would the Warriors be without a randomly painted line on the court?
>>65730667
>If there was no 3 pointer
Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha
Haven't laffed this hard in a minute
Cavs fans are sad as fuck
>>65730240
>tfw best player crying like a baby when the best team in the NBA owns your ass.
Can't win one game from the dubs.
The Cavs are garbage when MR. I FLASH MY JUNK ON TV is on the court.
I Don't know why aren't they #1?
>>65730698
When did LeBron do that?
Called this years ago, its going to be Spurs v Cavs final and Cavs will win.
>>65730698
Sorry 'is not' *stupid phone
they play in cleveland
>>65730744
So they raped the Spurs and Thunder in Cleveland
>>65730679
if you can be arsed, look up all their games, take 1pt off for each 3 for both teams
compare score
They're winning it. Fuck that meme curry.
>>65730744
99.99999% of people who hate on Cleveland as a city have never been to Cleveland.
>>65730814
I have. Shit sucks.
>>65730471
It's not because of the warriors, it's because it's become boring. If anything warriors have brought it up a point
>>65730294
>Cavs have nearly 3 times as many losses
>better team
Sure
>>65730667
>if there was no 3-pointer
jesus christ, steph is so good, fans of other teams have been reduced to this absolutely retarded argument.
>>65730667
>if there was no 3 pointer
kek
Warriors beat thunder at home by 8
Cavaliers beat the Thunder ON THE ROAD by 23
Cavs are 15 points better than the Warriors. Hell add the home court they are 18 points better than the Warriors
>>65730331
He got pretty much shut down by Matthew fucking Dellavedova in two games. The Cavs team outside of Lebron was so hilariously shitty in the finals, it wasn't Warriors vs Cavs but just Warriors (deepest team in the NBA that year) vs Lebron alone. And still lost two games.
>>65730331
Most real NBA fans have that chip asterisked
>>65730240
>We can beat Golden State
>W-we only lost because Love and Irving were out. Healthy we would destroy
>I-it was only because they had home court advantage. Watch as we crush them in the Q
>b-but it's only the regular season. it doesn't matter.
>>65734919
Yes it's only the regular season. Correct
>>65734919
>W-we only lost because Love and Irving were out. Healthy we would destroy
But that's correct.
>Kyrie out
>Love out
>Smith and Shumpert playing injured
>random white chumps like Delly and Mozgov in the starting lineup
>still win two games
Is it really so crazy to say that the Cavs could've won 4 games with a healthy lineup?
>>65734933
But they lost twice this year healthy so the answer is no.
>>65734919
So they wouldn't have made a difference in the finals?
>>65734942
>this year
Irrelevant to last year really. I'm the first to say the Warriors are much better this year than they were the last.
>>65734942
You're a fucking piece of shit. Kyrie on Christmas wasn't fully healthy and the Warriors were using all of their energy in Cleveland while LeBron was conserving it for the playoffs -- something more important than the regular season
>>65734958
>LeBron was conserving it for the playoffs
>Months before the playoffs even happen
>>65735005
Why do you think Kerr has Curry and Klay sit so many 4th quarters of rest isn't important?
>>65734958
>the Warriors were using all of their energy in Cleveland while LeBron was conserving it for the playoffs
>Cleveland Fans actually believe this
>>6573024
because that arbitrarily painted line gets the warriors 3 points. The Warriors will win, and people will stop watching the NBA again.
>>65734958
You lost by 30 fucking points. You don't lose 30 points to the team you lost to in the finals and are most likely going to be your opponent in the finals again then say "we were resting"
>>65735049
>regular season matters
The Cavs destroyed the Warriors in the regular season last year. And nigga you got blown the fuck out by the fucking Blazers this year. Are you scared of them?
Warriors won't get a gift-wrapped joyride to the playoffs against injury depleted juggernauts such as the pelicans, rockets and Grizz....
No way in hell they survive a run through of OKC-San Antonio-Cleveland, assuming all three of these teams stay healthy.
Don't see the Warriors getting any injuries with how well they manage minutes but if Curry or Klay gets hurt In the playoffs I could see the bandwagon exploding in asspain on social media, before quickly dispersing.
>>65735065
In all honesty the Warriors were lucky as fuck they avoided the Spurs last year and only managed to beat up on injury plagued teams.
>>65730417
As a Cavs fan I used to say this but watching them more this year, it's clear that they don't actually play any better with Kyrie and Love. They score more but they defend worse and it averages out to about the same. The only plus I think is that they'd be deeper and wouldn't get gassed at the end of the games like we saw in the Finals.
>>65730578
pretty sure 90% of /sp/ was rooting for the cavs last year in the finals bro
>>65730578
I have nothing against Cleveland fans. I just think you guys are stupid for thinking Lebron gives a shit about you and not realizing he only came back because of Irving and the chance to acquire Love.
The Warriors lost to the Bucks.
THE BUCKS.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Cleveland will have no trouble taking care of this meme team.
>>65730597
They're both niggers.
>>65730622
Honestly i still cant believe they won. Those teams might have been the shittiest ws champions in the last 30 years.
>>65730582
Cleveland has gone 50 years without a championship.
>>65735076
You literally just retyped my post in a more simplified context.
But yes, you're right. If the matchups work themselves out and they have to back to back any of those three teams I don't think they can handle it.
OKC matches better with them than SA strictly because they can match GS's bizarre scoring if KD or Russ catches fire, which can happen any given night.
Teams just overthink it and get nervous af before they play the warriors then try to run the floor with them from being over hyped.
I'll be interested to see how to Cavs look against them with the players buying into Lue's system and K Love getting touches in the post. (Blatt is a shit-tier retard coach strictly based on not letting K-Love work the post and relegating him to a corner 3 shooter, btw)
>>65730582
49ers and giants. And idk who the bay roots for in hockey but every team except the sharks has won also. Fuck off commiefornian
>>65735275
>Lost to bucks on a 7 game road trip
>during a 28 game win streak
>no team has ever won all games on a 7 game road trip
your point is invalid
The Warriors beat the Cavs that had an incompetent coach
I'd love to see the Warriors beat them in a 7 game series that has a great coach
>>65735599
But Lebron is the coach
>>65735599
so, not this year either?
As a Bucks fan, I have no problems with the warriors, they're just the Heat or Mavs a few years ago. The warriors at least bring out the best of Milwaukee when >we play
>>65735684
Lue >>>> Blatt, you idiot
How do the Warriors get blown out by Portland?! ROFL
>>65735721
>Warriors BTFO Cavs
>Blazers BTFO Warriors
>Therefore Blazers are the best team in the NBA
>>65735752
LeBron has never lost to such bullshit like PORTLAND
>>65735721
Lue will make no difference at all. Cavs defence still suck.
>>65735764
Cavs lost to the pistons and gave AD 40 in a pels win. Losses to random teams aren't a measure of how a team us soing.
>>65730582
>8 superbowl wins combined
>17 world series combined
>best basketball team in the nba currently
You can fuck off.
>>65735856
You know what it's like to be overshadowed by LA?
>>65735887
LA:
>no WS appearances since 1988
>lakers are absolute garbage while Kobrick is torpedoing his shooting percentage with air balls
>implying Kings fans existed before 2012
>>65735887
Falseflagging LA fag spotted. Your city is trash and so are your teams.
>>65735931
Raiders and Rams are gonna rape the Whiners
Angels who aren't even LA but our little brothers raped the Giants in the WS
Lakers 16 Bay Area 16
Kings and Ducks rape the Sharks
>>65736045
Raiders are still in Oakland, you're claiming another city's accomplishments as your own while the A's AND giants have all won 4 WS since the last time the dodgers went to the series, and now you're trying to use Minneapolis titles as an argument
>>65736063
>Raiders
>Oakland
Only for one more year
>claiming another city's accomplishments as your own
>implying Oakland and SF are one city
HAHAHAHA
Lakers 16
Bay Area 16
>>65736045
Ducks are in Anaheim just like the Angels you little dumb beaner.
>>65736092
>bay area includes Oakland and SF
>Anaheim is not in Los Angeles
>>65736102
Anaheim isn't in the greater LA area?
You stupid shit.
No one cares about your shitty small market with only white people and niggers
>>65736112
>beaner getting this mad because LA sports are currently garbage
>having to cling to Anaheim teams for relevance
>>65736132
How does it feel to lose the Raiders to us again?
Now that they're good LOL
>>65736136
I wouldnt know since theyre still in Oakland
>>65730440
>>65736136
>7-9 team
>good
By LA standards maybe.
>>65736136
Las Vegas is getting the Raiders.
t. knower
>>65736142
Everyone knows the Raiders aren't staying there past this year
They're coming home
Also
dodgers 5
Giants 3
Lakers 16
Bay Area 16
>>65736199
theres no indication theyre coming home, since the raiders stayed for 2016.
and stop trying to use minneapolis lakers titles as an argument, its pathetic

Thanks for all the free Laker and Dodger home games when we visit the Gay Area.
#beatLA
AHAHHAHAHA
>>65736270
like Ive said, it makes no difference what rumors are saying, since theyre still in Oakland
>>65736282
How many Bay Area NFL fans are Raider fans?
60-70% of Raider fans there come up from LA. Link me to Bay Area Raider fans face books and telephone numbers so I can verify
Enjoy the Whiners
>>65736270
it doesnt say anywhere in this article that theyre for sure coming back, only that they can
Good job not even reading your own link
>>65736300
enough to have kept the team their since 1995
>>65734886
Am I being baited or are you legitimately a retard?
>>65736199
>counts the championships the Lakers won in Minnesota but doesn't count the championships the Giants won in NY
Get fucked, bitch
>>65736327
A majority of Laker championships were won in LA so all 16 are LA's
A majority of Giants championships were won in NY you idiot
Fucking Gay Area idiots
>>65736451
that doesnt mean anything. The mets or Yankees dont own those titles, its still tied to the giants
Lebron was all athleticism. People always say "muh great basketball mind" or "muh basketball iq" but his entire game boiled down to being more athletic than anyone else on the court. Now he's less than half of what he was athletically. You see him run and it looks like he has concrete feet, he can't jump as high anymore. His legs are dead which killed his three point shot. I'm not saying he's washed up, he's far from it, but he isn't top 5 anymore.
>>65736466
How does that dispute anything I said?
Enjoy being the NBA Seahawks while the Lakers are reloading.
>>65736543
it means them winning their titles in NY or SF is irrelevant since theyre all tied to the team, you illiterate retard
KOBE
The Cavs have the longest winning streak in the NBA. They're gaining momentum while the Warriors are losing theirs
>>65736451
>tfw almost caught up to the cucktics in far less time
>>65736570
>gaining momentum while having more than double the losses
>>65736583
The Cavs have had a much harder schedule than the Warriors
>>65736484
He is a very high IQ player. Dipshit, thats why he will still have value past his decline. He's still a very effective point forward and he's got a way more developed post game than most wings.
>>65735275
CVCKED BY THE BVCKS
>>65736623
but it's not enough to make the cavs the "best team in the nba"
Im an idiot, I was looking at 2015
>kings
>suns
>T-Wolves
>lakers
>76ers
>clippers
>nets
>pelicans
quite the "tough" schedule
>>65736671
especially since i posted the exact same picture
>>65736671
Good job posting a schedule from last year
Fucking moron
>>65736648
I didn't say that. I think the Cavs are the third best team in the league. But it's not true that Lebron's game is all about his athleticism and nothing else.
>>65730269
BRUTACITY
>>65736451
Nice mental gymastics, fag
>>65736687
Golden State has only played OKC and SAS once AT HOME
They have lost 1/6 of their road games this season to less than contenders
It's one thing to lose to contenders but to SHIT TEAMS? HAHAH
>>65736767
the bulls had their record stopped by the bucks too
who they lost against is irrelevant, its their record by the end of the season that matters. And as of right now, theyre 49-5
I can't do it anymore. I'm too old for spuh.
Half you little fucking kids just spew shit out of your mouths that's completely unfounded in the numbers.
Did you know the 2014/2015 Houston Rockets hold the record for most 3s made in a single season by a team? The warriors are not the first team to shoot a lot of 3s.
Did you know the Cavs also spam 3s? Number 5 in the league. Rockets lead the league in 3p FGAs. Warriors are number 2.
This is why the crybabies will get their shit pushed in come the finals...warriors shoot 42 percent as a fucking team.
Cavs shoot 35%. Get your anal throbbing bigger asses out of here. GSW is reviving the NBA from the bullshit drive, flop, free throws shitfest some of you wish it still was. Just because your weak ass team is stuck in the past doesn't mean you have to hate on the future.
Good shooting and good ball movement. Oh fucking no!
http://mweb.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on-basketball/25481728/charles-barkley-says-steph-curry-is-just-a-great-shooter
What did Charles Barkley mean by this?
>>65736767
Go look at who the Spurs have lost to you delusional fuckhead.
That's what's so hilarious about what GSW is doing. It's so completely irrational that most people havnt seen it before. Your viewpoint is skewed given how good they are.
Nobody except the Spurs can beat this team in a 7 game series.
>>65736592
More delusion...
The east is absolute dogshit...so that's impossible
>>65736837
The Spurs have lost to contenders consistently and have never gotten blown out in the manner GSW has
Their average margin of losses is -6
GSW's is -16
They will NEVER EVER have the universal respect of fans like LeBron does
>>65736867
but they lost to the warriors by 30
