2014-15 NBA Season Thread

All eight teams have a win each going into today. This can make for a very exciting NBA playoffs.
 
It seems like the Bulls would be better on offense as good as Rose and Butler are. If Kyrie was healthy I don't think these games would be close.

I don't know about that. The Bulls MVP was out today.

It was refreshing to see LeBron get called for the offensive fouls he commits every game.
 
Cleveland isn't a great defensive team, or at least not good enough to make the Bulls struggle that bad on offense. Cleveland looked pretty horrible today too. Meanwhile I struggled through the first half of the Clippers and Rockets.... I think this game is even uglier than the earlier game.
 
Cavs/Bulls game was just terrible yesterday. They both played like trash.

But I'm happy the Cavs won. LBJ's shot was beautiful. I can't wait for the King to put on a performance in Cleveland.
 
We are in and even though the potential of Atlanta in finals and Clippers on the way in the west scared me the most, LeBron is still a threat even with the Cavs.
 
LeBron put on a huge scare last night. We got by on skin of teeth and by having Irving of Cavs get hurt.

Curry was good but not the same as I can see him in most games. Wait until he wakes up and there shouldn't be any close games. I hope he comes back to MVP form in this final series. So many of us in the Bay Area are comparing this to Montana's first Super Bowl or the Giants behind Lincecum winning the first SF area Giants World Series. But this all seems surreal for me and too much to digest, especially since we already witnessed three downtown parades for the Giants.

All I can say is this happy and dazed confusion is what it must feel like at times to be from Boston or New York.

Not long ago, we were in a 49ers drought after five Super Bowls where it looked like going .500 would be a miracle, and Giants and Warriors were off the radar. People were asking if any bay area team could go big:

If Kyrie is out for any period of time, LeBron winning the championship would solidify him as the greatest ever. LeBron clearly has to do everything himself.

I always had faith that the Giants would manage to win a World Series in my lifetime.

I never thought for a moment that the Warriors would make a run to the NBA Finals.
 
Warriors, just do this against a totally depleted Cavs and win in 4 or 5.

Please don't lose this series and also don't torture us with any last minute heroics like 49ers catch against Dallas in the final NFC playoff game or 2012 Giants come from behind elimination games. I would just be comfortable with splash brothers leading by 10 points at half and finishing each game 15 points ahead of the Cavs.

I know this is basketball and it's all too common for even runaway games to be close down to the last two minutes.
 
I'm glad the Cavs won, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the Warriors being completely healthy not winning with all the injuries to Cleveland.

That is a complete mystery to me, too. The Cavs played their usual well rounded game but the Warriors didn't seem to come out to play that night. It happens, even to them but I hope they recover.
 
They were moving the ball today and taking care of the ball! And iggy was on fire today!
 
Small lineup could be the answer Steve Kerr was looking for. Also helps that Iggy played out of his skin on both ends of the floor and Green played more like his usual self, as did Dellavedova.
 
as long as GS can set the tempo and Green doesnt get in to foul trouble they should be able win the series

Good game tonight and very much like the Warriors have played all year. Let's hope we keep it up on Tuesday night because we have to face five guys named LeBron.

So I see a Cleveland TV show calling LJ best ever if he pulls off the impossible. Hate to say it but I agree.

Cavs in 2015 are a mediocre team with 3 of 4 top players out and they are taking on Curry and Thompson and healthy Warriors who reamed Cavs by 13 and 21 points in last two outings and LJ smashed his head with stitches and is obviously an older slower version of himself. But he is more patient and is willing to play PG.

If LJ wins one might think how his career would have gone down had he been blessed with backups like 90s Bulls or 80s Lakers. Just saying.

Greatest ever? Jordan never had to face splash brothers so yes, very possibly and we will know this week.

Done.

4th championship parade in 6 years for Bay Area fans. This is what it must feel like to be a New Yorker.
