Solved Any NBA fans?

For those who have not seen the Warriors this season, game 4 was how they have won all year. When having a 15 point lead at any point in a game they were 58-0. The Cavs look gassed. They only have 7 players in the rotation. If the Warriors play as they have all season, I think they can beat most anyone in a 7 game series. The one team that would scare me is the Spurs...they really have the Warriors number!

You are correct Bill. Cav's short bench does hurt a lot.

I do wonder how one can get tired playing hard basketball around a half hour every other day.

I know of no other job other than sports than one can use that excuse. I have worked my 20 minutes, call me in two days. B/S. No sleeping on a plain while traveling is not work.

I will never understand how missing free shots from a pro is acceptable.
If the Cav's do what they are getting paid for they can win.

As a basketball player on a 5A Texas HS Team, and a Select Travel team, I can tell you firsthand, playing 20-30 minutes a game is very challenging. A lot harder than it looks. It takes a toll on your body, especially doing it 82 times a year, plus playoffs. No matter how conditioned you get, it's gonna be tough.

Free throws are tougher than they look too. LeBron James, a pretty good free throw shooter, shot 71% from the line this season. Klay Thompson shot 79% last season. James Harden, one of the best in the league at free throws, shoots 85% from the line. (Of course, Steph shoots 91% from the line, but his shot is unhuman )

Anyway, the Cavs starters are just as good, if not better than Golden State's. It's the depth GS has that's keeping them in this series. LeBron is playing unhumanly great right now, Delly is locking up Curry, and Thompson is a beast on the glass. If the Cavs can just get after it, and give 100%, they can beat GS.

I predict whoever wins this game wins the series. If the Cavs win, they'll win game 6 at home. If the Warriors win, even if the Cavs win 6 at home, they'll head back home for game 7, which is where you wanna be if you're GS.

I have to disagree with "the Cavs starters are just as good, if not better than Golden State's". Beyond Lebron and Kyrie?

Steph, MVP, All Star top vote getter, All NBA 1st team. Klay All Star, All NBA 3rd Team. Draymond, All NBA Defensive 1st team. Bogut, All NBA Defensive 2nd team.

The Cavs came on strong after a slow start this season, and obviously won the East. In the West, however...

I would have liked to see the Cavs at full strength, because when they win the Finals, people will say, "well, the Cavs were down 2 starters...". While true, the Warriors did win 67 games, and won the West. I believe they can beat anyone this year. I am biased being a Warriors fan since the 80's, and having suffered through many a bad season, poor draft picks, bad trades. Heck, the year that the Warriors have the worst record, the NBA decides to have a Draft lottery instead, and the Warriors end up with the #7 pick! (It was Chris Mullin, so we turned out OK, but it could have been Patrick Ewing, and whio knows where they go with a true center).

Well...what do you know. Golden State Warriors NBA Champions. It is sweet. I honestly wish it wasn't over, but it had to end, so it ends well. Congratulations Warriors, thanks for the most enjoyable season ever.

I didn't even listen to the last game because I new what the results was going to be.

The Cav's short bench was the death of them for this season.
They just run out of gas.
