For the same reason I think OKC will beat GS - if both teams bring their A games (granted, a big if), Cleveland will win 9 out of 10 times. Toronto has to play VERY well in order to win any game, while Cleveland has to be less than good.
Do Toledo people generally cheer for Cleveland teams? Or more Detroit?
In Windsor, Iâd say there are somewhat more Detroit fans than Toronto fans, but people are liable to switch sides based on whoever is doing well at the moment.
WTFâŚcan someone explain the NBA Instant Replay reasoning?
With 50 seconds left, Westbrook CLEARLY gets hit on the arm from behind and loses the ball out of bounds. The refs call it OKC ball.
Then during instant replay, after clearly showing they Fâd the call on the foul. They still have to overturn and give the ball to GS.
I donât get itâŚthe ONLY reason he lost the ball was a direct result of the foul that they didnât call.
So the refs get to review one part of the call but not the other?
The only thing more unjust are the inconsistent moving screen calls I seeâŚ
Itâs unfair that either of these teams will have to play another series to be champs.
Though if they arenât dead from the series, I donât see how Cleveland can beat them unless theyâre on fire from deep all series
I think he was losing it either way. He didnât hack him to bad. Either way they wer the bed.
Iâm one of the only people who has faith in the cavs. I really like their chances versus either team.
The only âfoulâ you can review is whether a call was a block or a charge.

Right. And I think thatâs stupid.
They used instant replay to make sure they got the call rightâŚbut only about PART of the play.
So IMO they actually used instant replay to make the WRONG call.
The whole point is correctness. But it backfires when you canât consider the fouling aspect. Itâs counter-productive.
Uh, no. He got hacked pretty good on the elbow area. Iâd love to see you try and dribble at full speed when getting hacked from behind like thatâŚ
Iâm probably the only person in the world that still believes OKC will win the series. GS needed a once in a lifetime performance from Klay in combination with poor play from KD in order to squeeze in a very close W. Just donât think GS can play that well 3 straight games
I think youâre overstating how well the Warriors played and how poorly the Thunder did. OKC had the upper hand and was player very very well for 3.5 quarters. Golden State had to play well to keep up with them, but outside of Thompsonâsshooting, I donât think GS played all that great until the end of the game when Iggy stepped up on D. In fact, they had a ton of bonehead mistakes.
Itâll be a great Game 7 though. 50/50

Toledo is very split when it comes to pro teams. Probably more Tigers than Indians fans, way more Wings fans than Blue Jackets, a bit more Browns than Lions fans, and since Lebron, more Cavs fans.

OKC still has a chance as they have proven they can win at Golden State. But I think a lot of people are discounting the Cavaliers. I think LeBron is going to win this with his full squad this year.
If they do, itâll be because theyâve had a cakewalk to the Finals and will be fresher than either GSW or OKC
How do you they propose they implement this considering how arbitrary foul calls are? There really isnât anything reviewable in any sport that is a âjudgment callâ.
You mean like Golden State did last year.
Theyâve been the superior team still this series without a doubt in my book. That being said Iâm not sure. I literally have no idea how either team will play. I still feel like the Warriors havenât been themselves. If they turn up and play a complete game they will win I think. I thought the thunder might have really screwed themselves. Lots of lucky bounces, loose balls, and overall right place right time going their way and they still blew it.
That being said itâs clear the Warriors canât handle them in the paint and that the thunder are playing tougher d overall. Also they have no answer for Westbrook. Should be a doozy. Havenât looked forward to a game this much in a while.
This will help but not be the reason they win. I honestly think the cavs matchup well with either team. I also like the the cavs lineup. I still think they would have won last year if healthy. Lebron won two games with no help. Now heâs got some.
Yes, but the Cavs had an easy run in last year as well. The East is getting better depth. But their top end is still Cleveland and nobody. Just like how it was the Heat and nobody once the Celtics got old.
