Him being out was a CP3 injury away from causing them to lose to HOU.   You don't think it makes a huge difference against LBJ?   Its a large reason why Lebron scored so much and so easily in game 1.    They have no one else on their roster that will work hard enough to contain him.

To build off this, they can't play their best lineup which Cleveland wouldn't be able to matchup with, the Hampton five, and also it impacts their defense in how they hedge or try and play help defense if you don't have the proper funneling and close outs.  Couple that with Klay probably being a step slow or more and it spells major problems for their defense.

Still, Warriors blow em out tonight.

lmfao @ lebron not always being the best player on any of his finals' teams.  i thought cameltoe posted the most retarded thing i'd read this week when he said that dylan osetkowski could be as good next year as bamba was this year, but this take is even worse.

They don't need Iggy to win the title. It might be a story going forward for the Warriors' roster in the offseason.

wait, are we supposed to count finals MVP or not?

[Patrick Bateman 3911]

HAS' are extremely painful..... Wouldn't be surprised if it gets worse at some point in the series.

Warriors will start Javale McGee tonight over Looney.

Looney was pushed around and attacked on the PNR without providing any rim protection.  -10 in game 1.  I don't know if Javale is the answer but looks like they want to get a little longer....

Hard  to compare Jordan/LBJ when the NBA doesn't even resemble what it was 20 years ago.

This is what people will eventually realize- they feel somewhat like contemporaries, but these are vastly different eras the guys are playing in. I mean LeBron would have physically dominated the game in the 90’s, but don’t you think that Jordan would not only thrive in today’s more open game, but that he’d be a killer 3-point shooter if he were born in 1985? Of course he would.

This is an under reported story.  Iggy out and they don't know if/when he'll play again but "at some point".  Klay is now hopeful (game time) and is obviously way less than 100%.  Some of us have already talked about how poorly the W's roster was constructed for the playoffs and their lack of depth on the wings. 

 

Yes, so underreported it's been on every score ticker and online story concerning this series for days. Thanks for breaking the story, bro!

Warriors sweep

[kingkoopa6 8347]

no klay, no bueno

[hookem48 4687]

I hope the crowd gives JR a standing ovation when he's announced. If he starts.

As it usually is when important role players guys miss time, it isn't really about what you miss from them being out; it's who you have to play instead to fill those minutes. 

Throwing JaVale out there for Game 2 of the Finals...this sound be entertaining.

[immortal13 4059]

JR Smith is such a fucking spare

[Sidney Sherman 66]

How many finals did Jordan have to play against the refs?

[immortal13 4059]

Lebron is so fucking dramatic

[BigOrange1 6433]

love should have flagrant 2'ed draymond there.

[kingkoopa6 8347]

[Vic Mackey 47012]

Looking like the Warriors are going to run them off the court. Yawn.

[Sidney Sherman 66]

Sweeps don't generate nuff revenue. Its 2 for GSW, then 2 for Cle, then 2 for GSW I think. 6 game series, profitable yet you dont have to risk a game 7 getting out of hand.

So why did last year only go 5?

[BigOrange1 6433]

motherfuck, lebron is good.

[Guest]

lol it's only 15-6 in the first quarter. Tap the brakes people, geez.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

lmao @ the MVP chants for JR Smith

[Patrick Bateman 3911]

Javale with a really nice start for him..... You don't want to tempt the dragon but thus far, he's been good.  Good JR has shown up too....

Love learning from Bron, yelling and gesticulating towards the ref after his shot was cleanly blocked.

What a bullshit foul ...lulz

[Vic Mackey 47012]

For as good as Lebron is, he is very shaky at free throws.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

lmfao @ that air ball being deflected

 

[kingkoopa6 8347]

who the fuck is jetty?

Rockets lost early and convincingly so there was no refereeing conspiracy

[Vic Mackey 47012]

GSW shooting 65% at home and only up 4. Cleveland will take that all day. 

[Orca of Peace 109]

how was that a deflection on the Steph shot? no one was within a mile.. why not reviewable???

They explained why on the broadcast. *hint it had to do with the fact that it was an obvious missed foul call

[Patrick Bateman 3911]

Both teams probably pretty happy where they are right now.  GSW is playing their style but being a little lose with the ball (which is arguably their style).  KD is playing beautifully thus far.  Cavs are hanging around, despite good shooting by the W's, and only shooting 38% themselves.

[Orca of Peace 109]

Nance should play 30-35 every game.  Javale is killing them 

[Orca of Peace 109]

steve jabee is a moron

Love his game..... won't ever make an all-star team but a great garbage man.

Totally agree with JVG.... that's not a fucking foul.  Klay jumped into him...... If he wanted to pump, get him straight in the air, and then dribble into him for a foul.... fine.  But jumping into a dude not respecting his vertically is BS.

[Facemask 103]

Change that stupid rule NOW. Just like the flop was transitioned out.
