Michael Wilbon says Warriors/Cavs are a pick em

 

[And1]

He was down 2-1 to the Spurs w/Kawhi last year...and then destroyed them the next 3 games. ]

He only played bad in one of the last 3 losses to the Warriors. One of the games featured a 40 pointer.

5 years previous to this year

Lost to LeBron in the finals at 22.
Lost in the 2nd round w/Westbrook missing the playoffs.
Lost in the WCF. His team was very competitive vs. the Spurs. LeBron got destroyed by them in the finals.
Team missed playoffs. He only played 27 games
Last year they almost beat a 73 win team.

I don't care for Durant, but fans gotta stop following this hot take era. It would have you thinking LeBron was never clutch before he got a championship. Which is silly.

Now do I think he'll fold? Yes, because he's never been able to solve the LeBron the problem. The thing is even when LeBron clearly plays better than him. Durant is capable of putting up 30.

He did some coward shit joining up with the Warriors. However, fans acting like this dude is some rollover as player may be in for a rude awakening. Thank goodness we have LeBron.

Durant Bitch played like crap in the 4th quarter of the last 3 games western finals vs the warriors... absolutely choked like a bitch in all 3 ... he's a choker and will choke again , this year against us

A lot of you guys who are so confident about Durant and the Warriors choking are only setting yourselves up for disappointment in the Finals. I don’t know why you’d do this to yourselves.

Because they are proven chokers and no way Lebron loses another finals in his career

So, just go in with a loser's attitude is a better approach? What, are we supposed to lay down and take the Warriors up our ass?

So, you're pretty much telling me that LeBron has no chance this year or the upcoming years I take it. If the Warriors/Durant doesn't choke, then there will be no win in the first place, they're the favorites, they have 4 all stars, they have 2 MVPs, they have to choke in order for Cleveland to win.

You just told me that you don't believe in the Cavs winning this year's championship, and we're all fools to do so. Cancel the show guys, fuck it.

Why is everything limited to choking?

Did Larry Bird choke vs. the Lakers? Did Kobe choke vs. the Celtics? Does every finals team lose..choke?

There is a very real possibility that both Durant and Curry average close to 30 each against us. I still think we can still win.

For 7 games I think we can be better. Its not a loser mentality saying I don't expect them to choke. Its a winner's mentality that even with all that talent I expect us to fukkin beat them!

Curry is 100% not averaging 30 against us.

 

[Gus Zing]

Curry is 100% not averaging 30 against us.

I said close to 30. I'm thinking 27 or so. He's healthier this year and Kyrie hasn't been as sharp defensively. I do think Shump can give him some problems.

Whether's its 24, 27, 30...I think Kyrie can average 30+ against him as well..

Curry didn't choke game 7 with his 6-19 shooting or whatever it was?

GS didn't choke a 3-1 lead?

Playing vs 4 allstars, we'll need help in areas we can't fully control and that's screwing up on unforced errors on the mental side of GS.

I'd be 100% shocked if every star player plays great in this series.

On a side note, why does Curry average 30 vs us this year and not the first two times? He seems to struggle vs the Cavs gameplan in a series.

What the flying fuck?

Why is everything so binary with you guys? Please direct me to where I said LeBron has “no chance this year” or the Cavs can’t win. I don’t know where you guys come up with this stuff.

Guess what? It’s possible that the Cavs win a close, hard fought series where no one chokes!

I'm really confident that we beat GS. Curry always chokes against us and the Cavs know how to stop him on defensive and offense.

Klay is the one that always kept them in the game and he is playing like ass in the playoffs, he's shooting a terrible percentage and I don't think he's scored 20 yet.

Durant is Durant he will give you 25-35.

Draymond I honestly don't give a shit about, some of you all hype that dude up way to much.

I know we're only gonna play 7-8 guys but I think the 6th, 7th, and 8th guys are gonna have to step up and give us good D and more than a goose egg oh the offensive line.

Cavs in 6 or 7.

Ps. I think Kerr will be back for the finals. He's already saying day to day and we have a couple weeks until the finals.

I am not really sure what to expect. We haven't seen the team play on such level on D or O as they do now. The loss (2nd half) was more the regular for this RS. Maybe we are just this good maybe they are even better? Last year I was sure Cavs would lose. This year, I am between 4-1 or 1-4.
