2024 NBA Season

[mtnsaa]

As a Cavs fan I must say I'm not very dissapointed with the effort so far but more surprised, I know the Warriors would be very hard to beat at home but there's a feel of invincibility in the air right now. If Durant plays like this no team would ever stop them really in the upcoming years and the NBA is gonna lose a lot of fans, just take a look at what these playoffs, completely pointless, all sweeps and no competition whatsoever. And we may even get that in the finals.

I still feel the Cavs can tie the series at home, but this will be a much harder effort than last year's. If they manage to do that, well I know the Warriors are a different team playing under pressure and the Cavs could have an edge there. Irving and JR will have to step up big time along with the some players in the bench (Korver and Williams). They have been atrocious so far.

I  totally agree with you. The supporting cast of Lebron should now step up otherwise GSW will take the trophy from them. Irving and JR Smith should spark the team and help Lebron James. This is a 5 man team and they should put all efforts to at least offset GSW offense and win Game 3 and stop the break on GSW.

Yes Lebron can only do so much, he's been great all around but he can't take on Green, Curry, Durant, KT and Iguodala alone! Kevin Love has been playing very good, solid, Thompson had an ugly first game but rebounded in the second one. But the rest, especially Irving, JR, Korver and D-Williams were non-existent to the point that they were even harmful. The Cavs were in the game in the 3rd quarter, only 1 point behind when JR commited to back-to-back fouls that were infuriating to see, it killed all momentum there and the Warriors started their final run.

Yes. There should be team effort. I also see K Love doing his thing. Fighting for rebounds, loose ball but he's having a hard time with Green, AI and even Kevin Durant going for the rebound. Irving and Smith are still non-factor so far, but I'm sure that they will try to redeem themselves in the next game. D William, I think he can't regain his old self. But at least contribute to the offense. I'm seeing him doing his trade mark cross over, but the shooting is horrible.

Don't forget Cavs were losing the series 0-3 before they made their comeback and won the series last year.

The warriors often slow down and begin to lose their mental composure around games 3 or 4.

History could repeat itself.

Although Durant never seems to lose his mental composure. That's one of the big things the warriors have going for them this time around.

[lumeire]

Players from the past also saying GSW offense is one the best offense in NBA history.

What I hate about this is that after this, the trend of superstars teaming up under 1 franchise to form super teams would prevail. We want good competition in the league, as much as possible.

If the cavs on game 3 will play defense like what they did on their first 2 games maybe they can't win. You can't win games by just scoring you need to deny the ball from GSW. Another thing is there is no help from the other guys on the cavs. It's always the big 3 who is doing the work. On the GSW side, If durant is playing like that in the entire series their chances of winning the FInals is high but let's not forget how curry play in the first 2 games. The GSW play a team basketball and for me it's fun to watch a team who plays like that.

Nice point. Defense really wins game. However, how can you defend the likes of Durant, Curry? Will James guard against Durant again one on one or the Cavs will double team him. Its really hard to defend this two. Who will be the priority of Cavs to stop? if you stop one of them, how can you stop the other one? So its really hard battle for the Cavs to get a win against the offensive onslaught of Durant, Curry plus Thompson.

I know this guy, he is popular as NBA personality because he is not just a very rich person but he is very vocal, if I remember it right he was once made an accusation that NBA is rig and he was penalized for that action. I don't know how much his exposure in crypto but I think his words should not be taken seriously, he might just making a FUD to buy cheap bitcoins and ride on the pump.

It's starting to look obvious that the Cavs are simply outmatched in this series. Even before the arrival of Kevin Durant, they were already having nightmares, and barely won last year's Finals via that massive comeback. Things are a lot different now and the Warriors are bound to be good for the foreseeable future. It might only be a matter of time before this series is over, with 6 games being the most on my bet.

I agree with you.
As a guy who saw the first game, we could see the level difference between both teams.
Seems like Golden State are much stronger.
It's not like golden state just won cavs, they won them while dominating the game leaving no chances to cavs to return.
I can predict 3-0 to GS.

GSW is the strongest team in the NBA right now and we can't deny it because you can see how the players of the GSW play. The only way that cavs will win the series if all of them will contribute in the game. They just need to play defense on the GSW. If GSW win tomorrow the chance of sweeping the cavs is high or if the GSW manage to snatch a 1 game on the road we will going to see a 4-1 series.

With the way cavs played right now definitely gsw can sweep them but yes if cavs will play harder in front of their fans maybe a possible tied and a good series will be expected they needed to extend effort and not to allowed curry, durant and the rest of the team to heat up and keep their confidence.

Cheers to all GSW fans here!   I am excited for the GSW and hope they bring the bacon. I always watch their game and even replay it on youtube again. Hopefully, they will declared winner!!!!

GSW right now is a superteam, no doubt about that. The Cavs just have to regain their composure, and Irving to play like he did last year.

We'll people have been saying all these about how strong gsw is last year when they went up 2-0 and then the rest is history. We can't really tell though i like the chances of gsw this time basically because of kd. The guy brings so much to the already string team that the cavs would likely get swept if they don't get their acts together especially nbr2.

The cleveland Cavaliers in their home tonight , i think they will play in different way they will do all their best to win this game and return in the racing to the title , everybody know taht in the last year Cleveland lost their 3 first games 3-0 and they won the Finals 4-3 . i think that they could repeat it again . i will bet for Cleveland Cavaliers to win .

It's not a sure win for the cavaliers but I believe they have a bigger chance to win in this game or if not I don't see they will make history again.
Lebron and company must start hot and make sure they will defend well the warriors to stop them from shooting in the outside, warriors are good shooters and the only way to minimize their production is to stay physical, I hope the cavaliers will adjust accordingly, they badly need a win.

You have absolutely wrong info about the result on last year finals. Cavs don't lose their 3 first consecutive game but rather a 2-1 standing. FYI, no team are actually do a comeback win in the finals with a 3-0 standing. Cavs are already finished once they lose tomorrow.

"The GSW blew a 3-0 lead in the NBA Finals" can become the new meme tonight though! Just kidding, my Cavs are in a very bad position right now, do or die as they say. Hopefully role players step up as I mentioned in an earlier comment, the likes of D-Williams, Korver, JR Smith, etc, if not the Cavs are doomed. Irving should also have a dominating game, KT did a great job on him, the guy defended him amazingly well.

My prediction is that the Cavs will win this one, but I'm a little worried about the next game, the Warriors will most likely get that one and put an end to the series, another 1-3 recovery would be out of the question especially considering the difference in talent right now.

Don`t want to think a second about placing bet on Cavs tonight. Bookmakers gave us a gift in 2.4 odd on Cleveland victory. No mater how strong and secure GS looks like, this game is The Game for Cavs. Home court, their fans... they have them tonight. Lets go Cavs. Give us some excitement. No neutral NBA fan would like to see short finale series.
