Scary thing is that the first 2 lines did eff all.
teuvo has dem freaky skillz

GM 2 pretty much a must win for the bolts

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Come on Golden State!!!

 

[fronkalicious]

Nervous

 

[fargy]

Lack of Delly cost the Cavs. Get the feeling this will be a 6 game series at worst, hopefully 7!

What was Lebron thinking at the close of regulation time - all he had to do is score...anything...even one point. So he goes for a three instead of driving at the basket! Choked. Didn't stay in the moment. That's been the knock on his career and we see it played out again.

IMO, the way that OT went down tells you a lot more about how this series could likely play out from here than the first 4 qtrs did.
I still see this as 4-1 or 4-2 warriors series win.

If Kyrie is out with injury, or even has his minutes severely limited, it's all over before game 2 even starts.

Surely he goes to the cup and at least draws a foul. Iguodala defended him very well though.

Warriors played poorly and still win, despite Lebron going off. Bullet dodged.

Especially with the way he has been shooting the three in the playoffs. Horrible decision. Cavs will be lucky to steal one, you can't win in the Finals with a bench like that

Lebron is the dominant player athletically in the NBA. He let Iggy force him backwards and to the side. Brilliant play by Iguodala (brilliant game by Iguodala.) Bron Bron is mentally fragile and doesn't stay in the moment as well as a true alpha male champion such as Kobe.

I am biased, but Kobe takes that ball to the bucket strong and closes that sucker no problems. Lebron is forced to do something stupid and goes for the hail mary.

Adam Voges century in test debut. not bad.

Adam Voges century in test debut. not bad.

He's the oldest (35) player to have made a century on Test debut.

I'm just annoyed that I wasn't watching, it was such a brilliant and timely innings by all reports. Damn timezones.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Warriors played pretty ordinary basketball (by their standards), LeBron took over and the Cavs still lost. Doesn't bode well for their chances.

True dat.

Dubs have been shite at home in the playoffs, especially early. Surely they put it together in game 2.

I genuinely can't process that we're 3 games away from a title. It's utterly insane.

It's yours to lose now....but you won't!

 

[d0gs]

Thought game 1 was pretty shit in all honesty. LBJ was immense but like its been said I have no idea why he didn't force a foul in the lane on the last play. If Irving is out for the duration of the series after looking cooked walking back to the locker rooms, it is going to be a bloody tough task for the Cavs to win the lot. Iggy played an absolute ripper game, thought he was great guarding LBJ.

Hello new friends!!
I'm not quite sure where to put this but figure it won't be too much out of place here.

After years of lurking, I thought it was finally time to pull my finger out and sign up for an account.
So, a little about myself... I've been a Doggies man/boy all my life which will be 20 years in just a couple of weeks. I was pretty much brainwashed into this club as soon as I popped out by my old man, I'm sure as many of you were and I always hear the stories about the old days at the Western Oval.
The Dogs aren't my only love as I'm a huge soccer fan as well and follow Manchester United, AS Roma and Melbourne Heart(city).
I hope you'll all give me a nice welcome!

And if this is in the wrong place, I'm Sorry!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!!!

Welcome aboard! Look forward to hearing your thoughts on all things Doggies! And whatever else pops in your mind

And the bad weekend continues - Game 2: Blackhawks 3 Lightning 4.

Now it's on to Chicago.

(At least the Cubs won today.)

Just away from the sport for a moment, loved staying at the Grand Chancellor Hindley in Adelaide with the Pay TV, the Dixon/Martin fridge and even a Gym which came in handy for a pre match workout....but they need to get Fox Footy in their Pay TV lineup rather than just having Fox 1-3. Fell asleep having to put up with the battle of the Tahs in Super Rugby (Wara smashed Cheet for those asking, Izzy scored 3 tries) when I'd rather have slept watching footy.

And lesson number 2, if you're flying to the GC to plan to commute into Brisbane (seduced by the lower prices on offer should that be the case), know your Gold Coast bus routes, especially if the bus you want to catch is delayed somewhat.

Cavs to win game 2 by 10+.

 

[fargy]

Delly huge in game 2.
