OT: The Finals Game 1 Open Thread

Submitted by amaizenblue402 on June 4th, 2015 at 8:51 PM

It's here, whether you like it or not, care or not. Cavs vs Warriors. Should be an interesting series at least. We'll see if Lebron and the shorthanded, hobbled Cavs can hang with the Warriors. I like the Warriors in 6. Apparently, the average price for a ticket on the secondary market is $1,532.64 over all seven games. It is the most expensive NBA Finals Since 2011.

I like watching the Warriors b/c it reminds me of Michigan basketball except with NBA players.

Cavs have an active front court that knows their roll and does it well.

90% of the shots Steph takes look like they shouldn't go in or even be taken, but his jumper doesn't care.

I hated their last play in regulation. I thought they could have won it by going through Kyrie.

Green is overrated. He's not a factor in a big game.

He is a huge factor setting moving screens all game. Since when his a hip check a legal screen? Feeling the gray area of fouls has pointed to the bookies having the power in sports. Just so much gray area on fouls/penalties in all sports anymore.

Think this could end up like that Sixers Lakers final, where we think it could be good, but it won't be.

No one thought that series could be good. The Lakers had swept their way to the finals and then had a Gentlemans sweep over The 6ers.

Does David Blatt have any kids he can hide behind during the post game press conference?

WHO IN THE HELL GAVE JR SMITH THE COGNAC GATORADE?

Is Kyrie faking the injury? He did go to Duke.

If Lebron would stop chucking 3s for 10 minutes straight every game, he would've had 60 points and the Cavs would've won...

I'm not blaming him. JR Smith didn't show up. You can't tell me the 3rd quarter Iso show was good either.

Lebron's unstoppable in the paint. He put up 38 shots today... 44 on 38... yeah.. no...

What an amazing game until the anticlimatic overtime. While I do feel bad for Kyrie Irving and hope he heals up, fuck Dan Gilbert. Go for the throat, Dubs.
