2024 NBA Season

I really thought game 3 is for cleveland. Game four will be a do or die match with golden state and if cleveland loss again I think there will be a big changes on a team some will be removed on the team missing kyrie irving on that situation are really a hard time on them. I hope cleveland will win on the next game.

Another win for the Golden State Warriors with Kevin Durant leading the team with 43 points. I cant believe that Steph Curry only scored 11 points today but nevertheless Cavs will have a hard time catching up with the 3 wins of GSW. I thought Cavs will have this game since its a home court advantage . Game 3 110 GSW - 102 Cavs

That is how dangerous the Golden states are. They have alot of weapons if Steph Curry can't step up the game. There are other players like Durant who can make it happen. Sometimes it Klay and Green as well. Unlike CAVS in which they only have lebron most of the time and a one good support from love. The rest of the CAVS should step up on the next game to find a win

Eventhough Klay and Steph struggled, there is Durant and other players who didn't give up. One of my favorite player since then, kudos to Igoudala as expected, his good hands, I finally got to see it in Finals but I think his condition isn't 100℅ coz we saw him walking not that good into the locker room before the quarter ends.

Series will be like this GSW in 4 or 5 if they want to celebrate in their homecourt. Too early to say this but if GSW keep their line up, a Grandslam is coming for this team.

Andre Iguodala expected to play Game 3 of NBA finals

It's a game time decision and surely Andre Igoudala will be seen on warm up. If he will be on starting lineup, still not sure. But if does, Im seeing a limited game time for him or depends on what will he feel on the court. Warriors are now back to deadly lineup. Like I mentioned before, Igoudala doesn't have an impressive offensive stats this playoffs "but" he is good on some aspects like quick points, get away points, unexpected steals, surprised blocks and good defense.


For the Cavaliers, again the consistency of the players is a must and not just rely on LeBron's offensive board. They are playing at home so at least it should give them confidence or else they will be now on verge of going home next game.

Iggy will be a big factor if he has recovered already. Remember he was already a MVP in Finals so he still has it. I think he is re-activated to play defense on Lebron James to really relieved Kevin Durant of this duties.

For Cavaliers to at least win a game, they would need to be perfect, bench or role players responded, less TO and try to body up Curry and limit his point in this series because if ever the Golden State Warriors win again, Steph will be the MVP.

Speaking of Finals MVP, can Lebron get a nudge for a MVP even if the Cavaliers lost? I think it will be the 2nd time in history though if even him getting it over Curry this year. Anyways it just crosses my mind, Lol. But I definitely agree with most of our NBA pundits here, absolutely perfection, consistency of everyone and not just Lebron. He's literally carrying this team up to this point but games is not won by one player, others have its own role to fit and get into their acts all together.

I don't think that Lebron will get the finals MVP as a losing team because Steph Curry is shooting very well just made a record 9 3's in a finals making assists to his team mates. So its really a good case for him to be the MVP. Unless Lebron pull a miracle again and have 40's or 50's point in the finals and won the championship then he will surely deserves to be the MVP in this series, otherwise it will be Curry not question about it.

There is still a chance because of the outstanding performance currently but there’s no doubt that the other star players could overcome. But LeBron would be hard to overcome it’s possible. If the cavaliers lose, and Lebron would be the MVP, he will be the second player to do that, first is Jerry West.

Ps. I dont like Curry he's a trash talkin piece of crap. Lol

Funny how that the Trash talkin piece of Crap, Make a lot of teams looks like shit.


Another one hell of a game for the Both teams, Cavs are trying to do a hard double team without noticing that there would always be an open man who can pop 3s or drive the ball on the warriors side. It was a close game indeed and somehow or somewhat Lebron is really exhausted and KD and Curry are one hell of shooter. KD is really unstopable in this game, He shoots everywhere. Let's see how will Ty lue and lebron prepare for there do or die game. Or will GS sweep this series and take the win on Cavs' Homecourt.

I really thought game 3 is for cleveland. Game four will be a do or die match with golden state and if cleveland loss again I think there will be a big changes on a team some will be removed on the team missing kyrie irving on that situation are really a hard time on them. I hope cleveland will win on the next game.

The only “Big Changes” I am seeing is that Lebron James will leave Cleveland for good. He has already fulfilled his promise to bring home a championship now he can attempt to get more championships on a better team. With Lebron having a player option for next season the probability of opting out is a big possibility and he has the power to sign any team that he wants to play. Some people say Lakers and some people say 76ers but it is up to Lebron for the most part and he might be choosing a championship caliber team.

Yeah, I thought that the home court advantage will remain in this series. Actually they did good, leading as much as 13 points in on stretch if I'm not mistaken. Other players step up, but still its not enough to overcame GSW.

Now, KD responded with a monster game and torching Cavs with outside shooting. He did show himself some Mamba mentality there, when he knocks down a 3 to put the lead to 6. I think Cavs chances are getting slim and I don't think that GSW will let this one slip away. They need to go out and finish them off and not give Lebron the chance to regroup and give them a momentum by winning at least 1 game on their home court.

Before game 3 started I was thinking that Cavs may win probably only 1 out of 3 and 4. But the way they lost game 3 I think in game 4 it is either GSW will bury them to the ground with a huge lead or Cavs will win. GSW is so spirited and full of confidence now without fear and doubt while Cavs will make their last stand. Still possible that GSW will crown themselves in their own court though. We never know how the system works here.

The warriors are just too much, Lebron cannot get a good support from the team, they are only good in 1st half but cannot be consistent
all throughout the game. Maybe Lebron needs to accept that this series is already over and look for good plans in the future to come, anyway I was
having fun watching game 3, it was an intense game.

We know how the system works. If Cavs win then we all go back to GSW home court for the next game. And try to close out the series there. But what I'm saying is that GSW should not relax at this point because Cavs is still capable of a comeback as proven in the last couple of years.

So as a coach, would rather finish them out with 4-0 shut out and celebrate on Cavs home court as champions. Its not gonna the first time that will happen, of course its better to win it at home, but knowing Steve Kerr and with his Chicago Bulls day with Jordan. Better close them out as soon as you can.

I thought Cavs will have this game since its a home court advantage . Game 3 110 GSW - 102 Cavs

Yeah the Warriors won Game 3 increasing their chance to get a back to back championship. Durant carried the team and made a dagger three almost the same as the area he shot the three last NBA finals..

The Cavs have no key player aside from Lebron and Love. The players have no experience because the players they get have no experience in Finals.

Now they won Game 3, they have the chance to win the trophy again. Take note, there is no team in NBA history who made a comeback with a 0-3 deficit. I'm not saying that the CAVS have no chance to win but the Warriors will win the trophy

Because steph has 3 other all-stars on his team, Warriors are the most un-interesting team in the NBA, if one/two players have a bad night the other will pick up the slack with a bunch of points like KD did.

The series is over, wont even watch game 4, waste of a finals. Not even fun to watch unless your a golden state fan boy

[Reid]

Van Gundy tells some truth again.
Curry and Klay could be out but GSW can still win and yet Lebron cannot or else Cleveland will lose.

As the Game 3 end as expected there is still no good rotation for the Cleveland. Their defense is wack.
They may have thought it is only with offense that they should rotate. It is also done with defense.

I see a lot of free shots from GSW which made them lose the game. Add the monster game of Durant that is unstoppable.
3-0, no team had ever come back from this. They might get 3-1 on game 4 but say goodbye at game 5 where GSW got a lot of percentage to win the game in their homecourt.

Rodney Hood made his part but I still find something lacking within the Cleveland team. I guess it is chemistry after all. They have thru a lot of trades and their reserves cannot do much since they are new to the team.

What a game! This should be how the Finals is. Leads going back and forth but at the end it is the best who will still win. I love Game 3 more than what happened with Game 2.

KD post game interview about Klay and Steph who cannot deliver some points.
"Those guys plays with so much joy."
"We have some momentum after that 3 point shot from Steph." (Steph 1/10 at 3point line)(the only 1 three point that he shoot is a game changer)

The humbleness of KD is really fun.

Lets move on to Game 4 so whats at stake. If GSW wins Game 4 'a sweep but keep in mind, its still Cavs home court advantage and of course for GSW, if they want to win, they want it in their own court so they can truly celebrate. But what are the chances that Cavs will win the the 4th game. Here's a good read about teams who made a comeback after 3-0

For gaining out a very memorable championship then it would really be good if it would be finished by GSW HC and they might able to give out the game 4 for Cavs. Im not saying that they would able to do so but for warriors they do have almost the chance on closing up the series on a sweep. We do see already some history about comebacks even though the odds are already too far for them to cope up but who knows if Cavs this time will able to make some history inspite on the score gap. One more loss and its over.

Here we go again, itching to bet on Cavs this coming Game 4 

Yes. I got that mindset too. But what are the odds. Vegas might see this coming that GSW will give the game 4 for a win in their homecourt. So they might give little odds for that.
Still having doubts though.
That interview from Draymond Green makes it look like they really want to finish this.
He says it is not about the sweep but winning the game.
They might also be itching for that championship again and might finish this. Besides, the moral of Cavs is down so they might make a lot of mistakes again.

[harizen]

That's how deadly Golden State Warriors is, even with the part of their main squad struggles there will be a backup. In Cleveland Cavaliers, most of them are not consistent like I mentioned before. That problem is way back the start of the season. The rotation of players is good (check the minutes played), I don't see a problem to that but the execution of most of their plays are not successful, same with their defense.

LeBron James played 47 minutes, that is almost a whole game. No other one is stepping up. Rodney Hood have a little help on that game but again inconsistent. Like James said, they can't just have mistakes while playing with the Warriors but what happened, most are mistakes.

@2.6 odds for the Cavaliers next game is really tempting but on the other hand GSW odds is good too @1.5 with more chances of winning. I know the Warriors like to celebrate at the Oracle Arena but still it's a good record if they will sweep Cavaliers. What are they thinking.

Im thinking of betting next game at Cavs and took the low odds at Game 5 because surely GSW will finished it. Can't decide.

Here we go again, itching to bet on Cavs this coming Game 4  

Two possibilities can happen.

It's either Golden State Warriors are already confident with their 3-0 lead for this finals series and Cavs is hungry for this last game for them if they will lose.

But I've also seen some comebacks games.

Im thinking of betting next game at Cavs and took the low odds at Game 5 because surely GSW will finished it. Can't decide.

Just put your money on Cavs already.  

And decide of what you gonna do when your money win.

[harizen]

Just put your money on Cavs already.  

And decide of what you gonna do when your money win.

Still waiting for changed of odds or "something".

The game is tomorrow so maybe a bit of a little changed to the odds while the gametime is approaching is possible. Or just wait for live betting as second option.

Here are some of the possible scenarios:

a) Warriors want to win a championship infront of their homecrowd.
b) Warriors want to sweep LeBron to be recorded on the history.
c) Warriors is comfortable because of no such pressure so they will play it easy.
d) Cavaliers don't want to be swept so they will pushed a win no matter what.
e) LeBron don't want to be swept for the 2nd time in the finals.
f) Cavaliers now accept the defeat so they will not be focus on the game and for Warriors not to celebrate on Oracle Arena.

lol isn't it?

What do you mean they are the most un-interesting team? Lol. What kind of argument is that? They didn't started this super teams, remember, Lebron James played with Dwade and Bosh in Miami and won rings together as well. That is mean they are also the most un-interesting team back them?

The series is over, wont even watch game 4, waste of a finals. Not even fun to watch unless your a golden state fan boy

Common dude, don't be too emotional. Let's see if Golden State and bring the "broom" and swept Lebron the second time in his career.
