Following the masses?  Watching ESPN?  You clearly have not been following my predictions during these basketball playoffs.  I am the last person you will ever find following the masses OR watching ESPN!

You might want to browse the many correct predictions I have made, telling the masses that their heads were up their @sses...

By the way, I watched Jordan playing in college, and followed his entire career... don't go thinking you are the resident expert on who the greatest players to ever play the game are...



If you are going to go flapping your mouth, make sure to pop your head back in for some "Told ya so" after this series is over... so you can pay respect to the guy who told you what was going to happen!

Do you even follow basketball bro?? Kevin Love is automatic if you leave him open, Kyrie can be automatic and get hot very quickly, JR Smith is automatic this season, Channing FRYE is shooting like 60% from 3... that man can't miss, Dellavedova is automatic if you leave him open. Then you got guys like Shumpert, Jefferson, and even LeBron who can hit them accasionally. Not to mention they have a rebound machine in Tristan Thompson(warriors are a bad rebounding team). They've got so many weapons and chemistry compared to last year it's ridiculous. 

Warriors have not looked like the same unstoppable force they were early/mid regular season. They slowed down and besides the splash brothers the other guys can be harmless.

LeBron alone took them to game 6 last season. Because he's the smartest player in the world.. 

LeBron with this much help?? Yikes.. good luck you GS backers.

Not saying they are bad shooters. They're definitely better than the guys on atlanta. Lol but when you compare most of them to the guys on GS, doesn't seem like cleveland has anyone other than JR SMITH who I personally see knocking down the 3 ball at as consistent a rate as the entire warriors team. I admit though I don't watch a lot of games. The way I cap, I don't need to know the teams or players.

GS should be laying more than (-200) in this series... but the price is low thanks to "Joe Everyman"!

friggin spot on post.  Hit the nail on the head with this one.  It's the ultimate story of Warriors and their proof of legitimacy vs. The woe's me of the Midwest mentality.  

Love it too.  the media is completely driving this "Do It For the Land..AND THE COMMON MAN" narrative and the public is swallowing it by the gallons.

What cracks me up is how the rate the Cav's 3pt shooting percentage as legitimate even though they cranked up 3's vs defenses who are nobodies out in the east.

Guess Joe "Everybody" The Plumber will be weeping yet another year.

Thank you! It's very obvious GS has the best 3 pt shooters in the league. Curry vs James? LOL! I think everyone would agree with me here that Curry has the advantage shooting the 3 ball over Lebron.

Nobody can defend curry's shot. 

Can't wait until game 1

Playing against those mediocre teams in eastern conference is pretty much easy nowadays

Can't you remember GSW won by 34 in Cleveland this season? lol

If all those players of Cleveland are automatic to basket, why did the team take 6 games to take Toronto out of playoffs?

I can't wait to make money off you

Curry cant play worse than he did last years finals. 

It's like would you script a boxing match for Tyson in his prime to lose to Barbie (sorry I couldnt think of any terrible boxers name)

In order for cavs to win I think curry, the MVP, would need to be taken out of the series. 

Ever heard of Buster Douglas??  Mike Tyson did lose in his prime.

You can't win a game if you don't score pts.  Curry is the best at this which equates to him being the best player. Just using logic here..

Lebron might be big, he might be able to dunk better (obviously, it wouldnt be fair to compare the two) but no way is he better than curry over all.

I know everyone has their own interpretation of what it means to be most valuable, and while this is true it's also true that you can win games by scoring slightly less points and being better at not allowing the other team to score as many.

Steph's already the greatest shooter ever but I think Lebron could pretty much score at will if he really wanted to by driving to the rim.  Two very different ways to score but points are points.  So why doesn't he do this you might ask?  Well it's clearly a lot more physical and punishing than jacking up 3's from anywhere (got nothing against that) so nobody's going to take that risk all of the time.  It would also be boring as f*ck, and nobody would want to be your teammate if you never involved them.  Gotta share the rock lol!

All that said I love both these players...I never understand why so many people have to make it out to be one or the other (not saying that's what you are doing mgm just a generalization).  Can't wait for this series!!

Yup...lol. 

Wasn't that fight rigged though? 

Even so you can't compare Barbie to Buster. Buster was a good fighter. Barbie isn't a fighter. She's a lover

MGM, give it up bro, you were wrong. Stop waffling!
It's OK to admit it, break through the mind control, lol.
But then again when has anyone ever heard a conspiracy theorist say something even close to "I was wrong"

It will never happen and sane people understand why.
It has a lot to do with self-esteem which is it an all time low in this forum.

There is no script change because there is no script.

I know lebron was able to do that in his prime...I even saw it with my own eyes, Lebron single handed came back to beat the entire detroit pistons team of 07. 

But now, I'm not so sure anymore. I've seen lebron miss so many easy layups. Even free throws down the stretch when they needed to hit, Lebron bricks them. I had Cleveland +6.5 in that game and was stressing the whole way. They took curry out for a while and everything just so the game wouldnt get too ugly

I remember cavs lost by exactly 6, I believe it was 92 to 86 final. Totally scripted but that's why I picked the cavs, the low line gave it away in that match up

Irving is a box, Love is a box, both play crappy defense and both are main stays in the Clev lineup, Cavs best perimeter defender right now is JR Smith.  GS will have there way with Cavs, they will win this series.

Woah man, your logic is seriously, seriously flawed.

So because I was wrong about OKC winning the series, means that games are not scripted? Wow man seriously tell me how you came to that conclusion.

I admitted I was wrong with my PICK. That is obvious. OKC lost. But there is no evidence or proof that I am wrong about my theory on games being scripted. Me believing games are scripted does not mean I will achieve a 100% win rate. lol come on you should know this.

You might even remember in my thread I told people to bet on GS -7 in game 7 as well.

So how was I wrong to say the series was scripted when it played out almost exactly the way I said it would? I am not perfect I cannot predict everything 100% but knowing it's scripted helps you to get an edge over the house at least.

Come back in two weeks..you'll be eating some serious crow..juz sayin...YOU NEVER KNOW IN SPORTS..what's about to go down..

Good luck..LBJ is "EXTREMELY FOCUSED" and I think he is "ON MISSION" to destroy the gsw fallacy..

 

Remember.. You heard it here first...CLEVELAND is EXTREMELY OVERDUE

Dude did you watch what Lebron did in last years finals. Lebron at his best blows Curry away. He almost won FINALS MVP as the loser last year and Curry couldn't beat out Iggy for MVP HAHAHAHA you guy make me laugh about Curry being great. He is a great shooter that is all Lebron does that gets more boards and assists and plays way better defense.

Lebron scores and gets all the other stuff lol I mistyped which is even more impressive considering that he can't shoot outside 15feet

It's all about the money and control. Remember curry played terrible in that series. It was no accident or coincidence. Wake up man!!

Lets get down to basketball facts then.

If Cleavland is relying on Smith, Love and Fry as instant offense there's a ton of holes there.   Smith can't bring it every night.  Fry hasn't been tested. yet.

As for the Warriors their roster from position 3-12 are not just good, they're SUPERB 2 way players of whom any are capable of putting up double digits and are legitimate defenders.

That's your series right there.

So by your logic he had a better season this year than MJ, Lebron, Magic ever did. None of them were unanimous MVPs

It is you who needs to reassess how you view basketball and stop following the masses that watch espn taking what you hear as fact. MJ LBJ and Magic have 10 better seasons combined than Curry's this year
