I think Stephen Curry is backed up hy the likes of Thompson and Grern but just look at LeBron, then imagine if it were Steph Curry in the current CAVS team.. I bet noone would want a game 6 to decide..

Lakini kati ya supporting cast alonayo nani ambaye yuko reliable? J.R. Smith? Shump?
Ndo hapo pengo la Kevin na Kyrie linapoonekana waziwazi.
Hao all-stars wako reliable na dependable zaidi ya akina Dellavedova na wenzie.

You are wrong buddy, the CAVS may need more than just a makeover, a complete overhaul and so the Warriors! With a crown in the bag, money does the rest!
I am sorry it is too soon for me to wager. I have first to see the outfit and early performance.

Unfortunately ndio hivo mates wenyewe wachovu & unreliable, but he made it easier kwa kung'ang'ania kua na mpira muda mrefu na kushoot. Angeshea mpira angeweza hata kumpa nafasi Jones & co kutupia tatu.

Hahahaaa you are the one who is dead wrong. And so much for your following of basketball since the 1960s. It's a joke.
What complete overhaul do the CAVS need when as a matter of fact two of their all-stars went down due to season ending injuries?
You are a joke, dude. Otherwise enumerate and delineate to me the complete overhaul that both GS and the CAVS need.
Hahahahaaa my goodness me.
At least here you are making some sense. But the gobbledygook above is the absurd of all absurdities.
Complete overhaul? Do you even know what that is?
SMDH!

LeBron James: 'I feel confident because I'm the best player in the world'
Does anybody think this series is over? Does anybody have an issue with what LBJ said last night?

What LeBron doesn't realize is what effect his hold on the ball for too long has on his teammates. He has made them lose confidence in themselves, it's like without him there's no tomorrow!
Even the coach has fallen prey to this ridiculousness. There other dudes on the bench who are never given any chance to prove their prowess; it is just hail to the King, King LeBron.
I don't know why the others have to be on court, why not let the dude do it all single-handed? Coach Kerr believes in strength in numbers, pulling back and resting the stars for another day. Even a donkey, worked so hard, is bound to suffer fatigue!

That is a fact. Without LeBron the CAVS are toast. He is playing almost the whole entire 48 minutes. Whenever he takes a breather their production plummets.
Say what you want to say but the supporting cast he is left with is just not that dependable and reliable.
It's LeBron who is single-handedly making this even a competitive series.
Do you know how many triple doubles he's had in these finals?
If he is not scoring he is assisting.
If you are into stats, tell me how many points in last night's game he assisted in.

It is tough to be LeBron's teammate!
I think so. I am not saying it is.
I do...not surprising though! I couldnt say anything like that even if I believed I was. I will stop there.

I don't think it's tough.
Hahahaa why can't you say it? What are you scared of?
One man can't beat a whole team, and a good one at that.
Where is the courage of your convictions? :becky:

I was answering the question, remember what it was? I'll remind you dude.. Nyani Ngabu, "Does anybody think this series is over? and I answered, "I do. I am not saying it is." Scared is the last thing I have on my mind right now.
Well, your super dude believes he can and somehow I got the feeling you concur. What I don't understand is why you are spending so much time shedding so many tears over those two, you know who!
I did state it categorically that Warriors would win game 4, didin't I? Well FYI they did and went even further to win the 5th. The 6th? Let me put it this way, right now it is the only menace standing in the Warriors way and you know how Kerr has handled menaces...ha ha haa!
If by miracle CAVs win the championship, their outfit may survive but if they lose, it wont be the same lineup next season and you can take that to the bank!
Bear with me guys, GSW is my home team...

No one is shedding any tears. I'm not even a CAVS fan. But I just try to point out facts and put things into their proper perspective and that is far from crying.
Fact (1) Kevin Love is out. Fact (2) Kyrie Irving is out. Fact (3) Kevin Love is an all-star. Fact (4) Kyrie Irving is an all-star.
Now, dispute those facts. Also, dispute the fact that their absence is a humongous blow to the CAVS. And, when you dispute this fact I want you to back up your disputation(s) with facts and figures.
Well, you can again, categorically, wholeheartedly, steadfastly, and unequivocally state that the Warriors will win game 6. What's preventing you from doing it? You're scared, that's why. Scared of having a big 'ol egg on your face come Wednesday morning.
Otherwise, I triple dog dare you to state it, right here right now:becky:.
I believe the core group will remain intact, win or lose. Because, even if they lose this series it's not like they would have lost it when they were at their full strength.
They would have lost it due to force of circumstance.
Everyone (maybe except you and your ilk) pretty much agrees that they are undermanned and no one expected them to win it all with those circumstances.
I don't see anyone really coming down hard on them if they lose. Most reasonable people would give them a pass due to reasons which are very obvious.
The only head I see rolling is perhaps that of the head coach, who is a rookie in the NBA and who has made several rookie missteps.
The other one maybe Kevin Love who is going to be a free agent and may want to seek to get paid more somewhere else.
But the core group, LeBron, Kyrie, and Tristan, shall remain intact.
The rest of the supporting cast is easily expendable as it is the case with any other team.
So the talk of your 'complete overhaul' is nothing but phony baloney plastic banana good time rock and roller.

Then you must be unaware of the "talk" in CAV's locker room; the discontent, the blame and the finger pointing. Only a win can save them which as things stand is another tall order. Bear with me dude, am a Warrior fan and GSW is my home team and remember, am human.
As to Warriors winning the 6th game, you are right...I am almost 95+% sure but then you never know with sports; who ever dreamt that Brazil would go down to Germany in the way they did? Do you know how many people were 100% sure things would go the other way round?
I am a sportsman and have been one all my life, have played all sorts of games indoor and outdoor, have participated in championships local, regional and international and am also a realist. I cannot and won't do what you are asking for I don't control destiny, not mine nor anybody's.

On a Wednesday June 10 2015 going to game 4 this was the leading story in Cleveland;
N.B.A. Finals: Cavaliers' Supporting Cast Has Been Overlooked
This series was supposed to be over. The second it was announced that Kyrie Irving would miss the remainder of the N.B.A. finals with a broken kneecap, the sporting world appeared to agree that the already favored Golden State Warriors had been handed the team's first championship since 1975.
Two games later, the Cleveland Cavaliers are ahead, two games to one, and seemingly have the momentum. The same people who wrote the team off are now wondering how they could have been so wrong.
"We miss that guy, by the way, a lot," Blatt said of Irving. "And the other guy sitting out, too, Kevin Love, we miss him, too. Need I say Andy as well? We've got a lot of guys sitting out right now."
But James, with a chance to secure a three-games-to-one lead on his home court Thursday, will have to make do with a group of teammates far less famous than he became accustomed to in Miami. So far, that has not been a problem.
Well the Cavaliers didn't win that Thursday and instead lost by a whopping 21 points on their home turf. Following the loss there were feelings;
Strong feeling among team that Cavs could rely more on veteran bench
The Cavs are indeed playing with a lot of grit in these Finals -- that the series is tied 2-2 despite their decimating injuries is a statement. But there is also a strong feeling within the team, multiple sources said, that coach David Blatt could rely more on the veterans he's been leaving unused on the bench.
Blatt played only seven players in Game 4 before clearing the bench in the fourth quarter when the game turned into a blowout. He played eight in the first three games with Mike Miller getting a few minutes in Games 2 and 3.
With several players, James and Dellavedova especially, looking worn down from the demands in the playoffs, players have begun to privately grumble that Blatt needs to use his whole roster.
The CAVs lost yet another game this time away at the Warriors home turf, the Oracle.
After jumping out to an improbable 2-1 series lead, the Cleveland Cavaliers roll into Game 6 of the NBA Finals with their championship hopes on life support.
The Golden State Warriors completed their full 180-degree turn on Sunday night, winning Game 5 104-91 thanks to a 31-point fourth quarter, fully ensuring their 2-1 series hole became a trinket of the distant past.
Not even James' superhuman 40-point, 14-rebound, 11-assist outing could slow Golden State. Stephen Curry did Stephen Curry things (37 points), and Andre Iguodala continued his run as a defensive stalwart and offensive diamond.
Can James and the shorthanded Cavaliers squeak out a victory on their own turf in Game 6 to force a Game 7? Or will the Warriors, now that they're off and running, erase the one-win gap that separates them from an NBA title?

Is this piece the reliable source of the discontent that would warrant a 'complete overhaul'?
Hahahahaaa you claim to be a sports enthusiast but you are clearly not and you don't know what the hell you are talking about.
You are just a poser who's been caught up in the frenzy and excitement of the possible GS championship.
But you don't at all strike me as someone who follows sports religiously as some of us do.
It's laughable:becky:.

Ha ha haa Nyani Ngabu you are the limit; Me? A poser? Wow, wonders will never cease. It is true I like sports but definitely not to your level, not religiously. Though I have yet to attain that level but you and religion? I never thought I'd live to see the day! Thanks dude for brightening my otherwise gloomy day! See you tomorrow at Quicken Loans arena, Cleveland.
