Predictions for the Warriors/Cavs series

I predict the Warriors will be leading a halftime of Game 1

Along with what he accomplished with the Miami Heat, Lebron has led what is otherwise a third tier team of shlubs to the NBA finals several times. Explain to me how that is "choking."

Funny how LeBron gets all the blame for this & pretty much everything else.

Klay Thompson threw up a record setting number of 3's in OKC in a do or die game 6 to pick up for Curry's lousy 9-22 shooting. Yet you never hear about Klay having to perform a Heimlich maneuver to save Curry's butt. Curry wouldn't even be playing tonight.

Good job Curry. Your turnover prone self led to a Love 3 & Kerr karate chopping his whiteboard.

Who cares? The Warriors bench is outplaying the Cavs starters.

The Warriors bench in the 4th quarter are just spanking the Cav starters for a 20 point lead. This game is over.

Who cares? Look at the score, bitch.

The clipboard. Look at that chop. That was awesome, bitch.

Btw, have you seen Stephen Curry's mom? Total Milf!! Hubba, hubba

Stephen Curry is a devout evangelical born again Christian. I don't think he'd approve of you lusting over his mom.

- Warrior fans look about as fake & fair-weather as they come.

- The type who would leave at half-time if traffic picks up, or if the Warriors fall behind too far.

- What's with the whiteness in the crowd? The only black people I see in the whole arena are food vendors, ushers, & the players. Is Oakland that white?

Cavs will win game 2.

Nobody is claiming that Curry will be considered the greatest NBA player in history. That was claimed for LeBron before he played a single game, and was perpetuated by LeBron himself by starring in commercials with him sitting on a throne being referred to as "The King". I realize that you don't get to choose your nickname, but you do get to decide if you'll star in commercials like that. That creates a different level of expectation and a different level of scrutiny.

Have you not heard about the cost of their tickets? Even the high cost doesn't keep them from selling out. There's something like a 20,000 long waitlist.

#1 is exactly what my response was going to be. It's a comical comparison.

As for #2, you're right again. LeBron is 5 for 46 over the last 10 seasons on game-tying or go-ahead FGs in the last five seconds of 4th quarter or overtime (i.e. game winners). That's a 10.6 percent rate. League average over that time is more than double that (22.6 percent).

The best comparison I can find for Jordan is that Jordan was 9 for 18 in playoff game-tying or go-ahead FGs in the last 24 seconds of 4th quarter or overtime (i.e. game winners). That's a 50 percent clip - best ever by someone with at least 13 attempts. The two data sets had different time constraints (5 seconds versus 24 seconds), but it still paints a stark picture.

So the crowd is made up of wealthy Silicon Valley douches then? That explains a lot about the lame, fair-weather fans. GSW, a team for the wealthy elite.

Aren't there any wealthy blacks in the Bay area ?

Why did you stop at 13 attempts? That seems very arbitrary and cherrypicked.

Warriors sweep.

Maybe Steve Kerr should be the MVP. It seems like he has gotten every player he has to play at a high level.

Most under teams when stressed they revert to one on one isolations or hero ball. When that happens other players on the team get out of rhythm. Warriors keep playing team ball.

Kerr is probably the biggest factor in this finals.
