NBA Finals - WARRIORS vs CAVS - MVP(?) vs GOAT - Page 3 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Who is supposed to by 6'8". Green? The more I watch GS play, the more I think he might really be 6'5" or 6'6". The guy looks very short compared to every big he stands next to. Does anyone know what his real measured height was at the combine?

Warriors medical staff probably lied on his height.

Dudes so good and works so hard that its fairly hard as someone who loves sports to justify rooting against him.

Needs to go to 7 and have bron bron with last shot to win or lose. Would be one of the most defining moments in all sports history.

Ya but if it was g7 its way more of an emotional swing. I want the biggest disparity between joy and despair. G6 to win it all in cle could be up there then having them to go on and lose the series. Would rather the all or nothing be rolled up into one singular play though.

Randy Bennett kind of awesome but kind of not, "That's the first thing we worked on in practice; get the loose ball, roll, and take a guy out...preferably their best shooter."

If you put that guy at the 5, oh dear lord, LeBron would bulldoze to the rim and fly over him and Kyrie will throw floaters all over the place.

Bogut is their most important defender this series.

Defensively took a **** on harden, who is a far more dangerous player on the perimeter then bron. Bron will have one huge game and defer to teammates in the 4 losses.

yeah you said the same thing in the bulls series. Shot 40% and still took a dump on them.

You don't keep track of the dumbest kid in class, he makes the impression on the first day for everyone.

But yes I am a huge fan of you actually. Dead serious about it.

Green spent time covering Howard and Gasol, pretty sure he can handle TT or Mozgov.

Barnes on LeBron and then Klay/Iggy have size advantages at the 2 and 3 over Shump/JR

I think you'll see it some.

Seems like a lot of people are confused about DRAY. Hope these videos help:

TRG and Duwight don't crash the offensive glass like TT/MOZ do though. Moxie and Faried combined for 40 rebounds in a game vs them, and TT is like Kenneth on meth when it comes to offensive boards.

Cavs in 6 because it was written

We'll see. I think GS can gang rebound and minimize the issue.

One thing I like for Cleveland is I feel like there is a possibility that GS just has no one to guard LeBron. It gets underrated that the only times he hasn't really completely dominated in the past 3 years were when being covered by Paul George and Kawhi Leonard (J Butler too now that I think of it) Two of the best perimeter defensive players of all time and even then he has played great.

I guess what I am saying is with proper spacing/teammates, it is possible like 32 and 12 is the norm for him against non-elite man to man D. On par with his finals vs OKC and last rd vs ATL.

There's about a 25% chance Delly takes out Curry, so that's where most of Cleveland's equity comes from. Dumping my savings on the Warriors.

Jimmy Butler is statistically LeBron's best defender. Pick pocketed him and stayed as much as possible in front of LeBron, always had a body on LeBron when LeBron drove.

Kawhi Leonard and Paul George didn't stop LeBron from getting his numbers.

The games in which Harden dominated, he was predominantly defended by Klay.

I think Klay is going to have a pretty big series. There's no way Shum can stick with Klay the same way he dominated Korver, just because Klay can do more things well.
There's a good chance Klay can draw a good amount of fouls in that matchup, methinks.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson has been diagnosed with a concussion and will not practice until he is symptom free.

The Warriors announced the diagnosis Friday after Thompson went through neurological tests earlier in the day. Thompson was kneed in the head by Houston's Trevor Ariza in the fourth quarter of Golden State's Western Conference finals clinching win Wednesday night.

Thompson will be evaluated and will not be allowed back on the court until he clears the NBA concussion protocol guidelines.

Thompson was initially cleared to return to the game by team doctors. He ended up not playing and started developing symptoms after the game.

The NBA Finals start next Thursday against Cleveland.

doctors would never let a concussed player back in a game hurrr durrrrrr
