WOW...... there is way too much agreement around here today..........time to stir in some ****..............
Warriors sweep.......... as long as the officials/NBA allow it. The NBA is ALL about how the game is called.
IF the refs allow Lebron to just bull his way to the hoop without concern for offensive fouls, he (alone) can keep the Cavs in the game.
If not, the Warriors will just play D on him (with Andre I. and others), and force James to work too hard for his points...... which weakens him on the defensive end, and then the Warriors can exploit the Cavs with ball movement. Curry and Durant and Thompson can just pick their time and place.
Now as to this GOAT BS................
That would HAVE to be Dennis Johnson.......... for years as a Seattle Supersonic, he'd go head to head with BOTH Magic and Jordan, and he (DJ) almost always totally outplayed Magic, and he played Jordan to a standstill but MJ's cast was better. Seattle had Sikma as a center and while he could score he couldn't really keep up when the pace became up and down the court.
DJ----------- G.O.A.T.
:-)
That's why it will go to six games, fool.
The refs WILL allow LeBronze to bull his way to the hoop in a couple of games to stretch the series.
Likely true.......... except for that part about the refs WILL......... their will probably has a lot less to do with things than HOW the NBA officiating "committee" instructs them to call/emphasize/ignore. The RULE is 1 and a half steps....... the minute you 2nd foot hits the ground (after pulling the ball into the air) you're traveling. Every superstar (and about 3/4ths of the rest of the league) gets at least one extra step and guys like Magic, LBJ, and MJ, get 2 +.
Still, I thought GS was just toying with the Cavs at times, trying to maintain some sort of watchable ballgame.
Losing focus for periods of time, etc. When Iguadala returns and things get serious I just think they have an extra gear----------- AS LONG as Curry, KD, and Thompson are stroking it. Thus, it may just be that not even the NBA through the refs can really elevate the Cavs into a win in this one.
After all, after LBJ--------- ???? T. Thompson, JR WHO? Give me a break. The Warrior lineup is loaded clear down to #'s 8 and 9.
As long as they play unselfish basketball, I don't think they can be touched.
