OT: NBA Game 7

[MKE_GoldenEagleFan]

I picked the Cavs in 7 and I'm sticking with that. There is just something out of wack with the Warriors IMO. I'm far from the first to say this, but I wouldn't be surprised if after the dust settles on this series that it will be revealed that Curry's knee was far from 100%.

Curry and Draymond have become unlikable, at least to me - seemingly drama on every possession. Really like Thompson though. Barnes certainly isn't doing himself any favors in his pursuit for a max contract - that's a pipe dream now although I think it was before the playoffs even started.

I can live with either team winning, I just want a close game for a change.

Curry has started to whine like Lebron... But with that said I can't stand Lebron's whining either so that's a wash...

My daughter works directly for Dan Gilbert (PR) I am going with the Cavs.

Lebron, Curry, Green, Thompson and Kerr are all crybabies. The NBA sucks,IMO. Stars get way too many calls. It was true in the old days (60s and 70s) but never more than today's league. It started mostly during the Magic and Bird era. League is choreographed and the NBA gets pretty much the teams they want to go far in the playoffs. Then there are the fixed drafts where NY got Ewing and Orlando got ONeal.

The game will be determined by Golden State's ability to shoot from distance. They're averaging 32 attempts per game, roughly 40% of their total shots.

In wins they've averaged 43% from 3, loses 35%. Simply put if GS shoots 40%+, they win by double digits. Under, and I predict losing a close one.

That said this has been an entertaining series with great talent on display. Don't forget - Jim Boylan is an asst coach with the Cavs so it would be nice to see him get the MBA championship ring. Jim Chones is an announcer for the Cavs,too.

I didn't know that. Isn't Austin Carr as well? One for TV and the other for radio?

Oh not this stuff again. Please stop with the tin-foil hattery stuff.

If the NBA cared that much, why did they ship Tim Duncan to San Antonio and let them become one of its cornerstone franchises? This stuff is just old and tired.

WTF. Some know-it-alls are insufferable. I was just giving my opinion. F U little man.

1. I erased me post about ten minutes after I made it.

2. I was giving my opinion as well. Deal with it.

I am going withe the WARRIORS!
Besides, I like the idea of the greatest player in the NBA only winning a championship because of Dwyane.

[Alan Bykowski, "brewcity77"]

Total score in the series is 610-610.

But no game has been within 10 points.

That's just bizarre. I admit I haven't watched avidly, but it's largely because every time I have turned on a game, it's terribly lopsided. Just no drama in blowouts. Either way, I'm sure the NBA is happy it went 7.

Similarly, I picked Golden State in 7 in the NBA Finals thread. Hard to believe after the first 2 games of the Finals and after GS went up 3-1.
