Old School Meets New School
The NBA got what it wanted – one way or another. The Finals, with the two most polarizing figures in the league, comes down to a one-game winner take all after the Cavaliers once again staved off elimination behind their King, who’s dropped 82 points in two games since being called a nasty word....
With their backs against the wall, the Cavaliers got the performance of the playoffs from LeBron James to withstand elimination and push this series against the Warriors to a sixth game back in Cleveland. If they’re to return the favor and become the eleventh team in NBA history to battle back from a 3-1 deficit and win a series, they must hold serve on their home court Thursday night....
After a historic night from their superstars in Monday’s Game 5 win, the Cavaliers still have hope of making more history. No team has overcome a 3-1 deficit to win the NBA Finals, but the Cavs got the first one on the road and look to send this series the distance....
The Cavaliers are well aware that no team has ever won the NBA championship after falling behind 3-1 in the Finals. They also know the Warriors were down 3-1 to Oklahoma City last series and found a way to come back. The Cavs said all the right things about fighting back, but if they don’t perform on Monday, it will be their last....
No team has ever come back from down 3-1 to win the NBA Finals. The Cleveland Cavaliers know this full well and are very likely in a world of trouble at this point. The Golden State Warriors are very likely celebrating a championship on their home court on Monday night in Game 5 of the Finals, though LeBron James and company will do their best to try to prevent that from happening....
For the Cavaliers and their fans, there should be a sense of relief. That’s what Wednesday’s 120-90 victory in Game 3 did. Now Cleveland doesn’t have to hear about how they were about to be swept out of the 2016 Finals. The Cavs have Game 4 on the same floor where they are 8-0 in the playoffs with three of those victories by at least 30 points....
It's hard to say that any of the NBA Finals games have really been all that good. None have been close in the fourth quarter, and all three ended with all of the superstars the series have to offer sitting on the bench with their fates already sealed....
The Cleveland Cavaliers are officially in a hole they might not be able to dig themselves out of. They've been blown out by a combined 48 points in two games in the NBA Finals by the Golden State Warriors, the biggest margin of victory for two games in the Finals in league history. Now, they've got to come home and win Game 3 if they want any chance to claw back into this series....
Golden State has completely shut the door on Cleveland’s potent offense. A return to The Q is what the Cavaliers need to get back in this series. It won’t be easy, though. When the teams last played in Ohio, it was a 34-point Warriors victory....
The Warriors embarrassed the Cavaliers every possible way in Game 1. The worst thing about the 114-89 defeat was the fact that Golden State’s superstars didn’t even show up and they still won the game by 15 points. Will the Eastern Conference champs show up this time around and actually put forth a challenge, or will Game 2 be yet another walk in the park for the defending champs?...
With all the star firepower on the court for this NBA Finals who would have thought reserves would be the headliners? The Warriors used their bench extensively to embarrass the Cavaliers in Game 1, now it’s time for Cleveland to show up for the rematch it wanted....
Last season at this time, it was the Golden State Warriors who were rolling into the NBA Finals, while the Cleveland Cavaliers seemed to be just barely getting by. Now, the roles are reversed in a rematch for the Larry O'Brien Trophy....
Don’t think this series is over simply because the Warriors won Game 6 in Oklahoma City and host a winner-take-all seventh game at raucous Oracle Arena. The Thunder already won once on the road this series and feel confident they can do it again....
Game 7 of any series in any sport is typically considered a relatively fair fight. Even the biggest underdogs always seem to have a shot at getting the job done. That said, the whole world is writing off the Oklahoma City Thunder at this point. They blew their chance to close out the 73-win Golden State Warriors on their home court, and now they face the arduous – and perhaps impossible – task of winning in Game 7 on Monday night at Oracle Arena, a place where the Warriors hardly ever lose....
In a must-win Game 5, the Warriors came up big.Golden State got solid games from Steph Curry and Klay Thompson in a win that kept the series alive and now the question is whether or not the Warriors can still win this series....
The Warriors believe their championship team showed up for Game 5 and fought off elimination with a 120-111 victory. Now the question is: Does it travel? Golden State was abused in Games 3 and 4 in Oklahoma City, losing by a combined 52 points. The Dubs need to be much better if we are to have a Game 7 on Monday....
Just the mere fact that the Toronto Raptors are still in the Eastern Conference Finals is impressive. They've made it to Game 6 of this series against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and even if they bow out here, they have nothing to hang their heads about, especially with as well as they've fought against what is definitively the best team in the East....
The Cavaliers didn’t forget how to shoot or defend. Those vital parts of their game were just missing when they dropped a pair in the ACC to level the series. Cleveland regained control with a 116-78 win in Game 5 at The Q and must pack those game elements for a return trip to Toronto to close out the series....
That was an unexpected turn of events. Golden State was a heavy favorite going into this series but now finds itself on the ropes after getting routed in both games in Oklahoma City. The Thunder won both games by a total of 52 points and now have the opportunity to shock the world and knock off the best team in the NBA in just five games....
The Warriors have not lost three consecutive games all season. Of course, they hadn’t lost two straight until Tuesday, when Oklahoma City grabbed a 3-1 series lead with its 118-94 win. Suddenly Golden State, who set a league record for regular season wins, is on the brink of elimination....

A series that looked lopsided is now even. And it’s the favorite Cavaliers on the ropes after dropping two straight in Toronto. After a 10-0 start in the postseason, the Cavs are counting on home court advantage to help them reach the NBA Finals....
The defending champion Warriors were served up a big fat helping of humble pie on Sunday night to fall behind the Thunder 2-1 in the series. For the first time this postseason, there’s serious doubt that Golden State has the goods to pull off the repeat. They’ll look to squash those assumptions Tuesday night when they return to the scene of the crime for Game 4....
Suddenly a second straight title doesn’t seem like a given for the Warriors. After Sunday’s beating, the Thunder have control of the series and can put the defending champs in a huge hole. Don’t count Golden State out just yet, though. The Dubs haven’t lost consecutive games all season....
The Toronto Raptors crushed any ideas that they were going to be swept by the Cavaliers with Saturday’s 99-84 victory. They’ll need to play with the same desperation to even the series, and don’t expect the Cavaliers to roll over on Monday.You can bet on NBA odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
