NBA Finals Thread - Warriors/Cavs

Let's get this thing started - I can't wait for this series!  A healthy Cavaliers team with the wanted rematch against the defending champs Golden State.  IMO, the Warriors looked vulnerable against the long, athletic Thunder who brought the defensive intensity to another level.  On the other hand, the Cavs have rolled through the playoffs except for two missteps in Toronto.

Who you got in this series?  How will the Cavs match up defensively against the splash brothers?  Will we see less of Bogut this time around?  Personally, I feel he is a huge liability for GSW whenever he is on the court, but things don't improve much when Festus checks in.  I hate the "hack-a-player" strategy, so hopefully the matchups will allow GS to play the small lineup of Curry, Thompson, Green, Barnes, and Iguodala more often, now that the threat of Adams and Ibaka is behind them.

My prediction: Warriors win the series in 5, losing only game 3 in Cleveland.

We'll see. I think he'll be in the running. Although Iggy had a bigger impact on offense, from what I remember. He was the most consistent play on both sides of the ball from Game 1 onwards. Curry didn't heat up until later in the series.

I think that is a bit of a hyperbolic statement but he's been streaky. The bar is high for him to perform every night and consistently. 

I have this sneak feeling that either him or Klay are going to get hot in the 4th.

Draymond has been the best, for me, so far.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.

      TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...

      So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
