Finals pick up where they left off with Cavs-Warriors III
James made his remarks on NBA Finals Media Day at Oracle Arena before his defending champion Cavaliers take on the Warriors in Game 1 Thursday night.
If Green doesn’t get suspended, Golden State wins that series in 5 games.
A lackluster postseason could be salvaged by a close, compelling series, which was the result of an National Basketball Association 2K17 simulation that ended with Durant leading the Warriors to a Game 7 rout.
“There’s value there. It’s LeBron James“. It’s quite possible he’s done more in the pursuit and capture of an National Basketball Association championship than any Canadian in the history of the game. Sunset Station sports book director Chuck Esposito said. In 2015, Curry and the Warriors are the new lovable “IT” team in the league and they defeat James’ Cavs and ruin the homecoming storyline that dominated much of that year. “So as long as I perform at this stage now and play my hardest, that’s all I can ask for. So it doesn’t matter”.
James bought the house just over two years ago for just under $21 million, according to public records. “It’s definitely going to be good for the people to watch”.
“In an interview with ESPN, former Boston Celtics Paul Pierce compares Kevin Durant to a kid being friends with bullies to avoid getting beaten up. Draymond Green is not the rim protector Bogut was”. The Warriors were down 3-1 in that series, but managed to battle all the way back to advance to the NBA Finals. He must help spell LeBron on the defensive end by helping to guard Durant and give the team energy on both ends. They added a shooter. With the starters healthy and rested, though, the Warriors lineup will rarely lack the presence of an all-star, the exception being a complete blowout. As good as the Warriors are on defense, all three of those Cavs are stronger than their Golden State counterparts, which could become a huge problem if the Dubs aren’t splashing treys.
But those were moments – and no players, nor teams came close to stringing enough moments together to threaten Cleveland and Golden State.
“He was able to get to the rim and score consistently, and the Cavaliers are going to be able to do that with LeBron”. “Try to take him out of spots where he’s comfortable”. The prophecy which was set in motion on Independence Day of past year will be fulfilled and the Warriors will be golden once again.
Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are outstanding players for the Cavaliers.
All seem to agree on the Golden State Warriors winning. Fratto is playing the under, and so are we.
While playing nearly 41 minutes a night through these playoffs, James is averaging 32.5 points a night, seven assists, 2.2 steals and 1.4 blocks, tops among all Cavs in each area.
COACHES: Steve Kerr or Mike Brown vs. Tyronn Lue. But Game 2 favorites are only 9-16-1 ATS (36 percent) the previous 26 postseasons, including a 2-7 ATS mark since 2008. All that being said, the increase in stakes, competition and rivalry should equal lower-scoring games. Golden State may be the first team the Cavs have faced this playoff round that can go toe-to-toe with them offensively.
“Just be assertive”, Love said.
“I felt like when I got here, I could fill in some gaps, fill in some holes just in the way these guys approach the game and the level of seriousness it takes every single day”, West said.
