It’s been two days since the match but I still want to write something about the recent finals match up of two championship teams. It is no wonder a lot of people are suggesting that these two teams will have a finals rematch this season 2016-2017 because these two teams play at a very high level that other teams are still trying to catch up. It happened in their recent match that the game became so intense that you will wonder if it’s playoffs already. There are still some mistakes on both teams since it is still in the regular season but the rivalry in both teams make the game so intense and gives justice to the Christmas day match. A lot of people have been saying that because these teams are automatic finals contenders that makes them bad for the league but seeing the ratings or how people respond on their Christmas day match up, how is this bad for the league exactly? Cavs vs Warriors rivalry makes the NBA interesting if you ask me and those people who don’t like sports will watch too because of their intense rivalry that makes them on par with other NBA rivalry teams in my opinion.
I just want to criticize the Warriors a little bit. I didn’t get to watch the full game since my timezone is different and I’m living in the Philippines. I still read a lot of reports on how the Warriors blew their 14 point lead though (which for some cavs fans is funny and thinks it’s for trash talk) and still couldn’t quite understand why Steph Curry isn’t playing like he does last season. It’s disappointing for them to give their 14 point lead to the Cavs, to not defend and just give careless passes. There are some plays that are a little bit positive but the turnovers is what the Cavs made them pay. Unfortunate how they make careless decision making on the 4th quarter of the game. I have also seen reports that Steph’s still making Durant feel comfortable in his position and that gives him lower shot makes which makes him lose his rhythm and focus. I still think that they need Steph to win even though they have an open man if Steph has his rhythm he can be explosive and dangerous to the other teams. If only Steph and Steve Kerr will let him do it again just like what he did last year their team will be even more unguardable and will make them the super team the other teams feared.
It is still December and half-way to regular season games so there are still time to develop and it is only one game they still have their NBA best regular season win-lose record. I still hope they develop better and minimize the turnovers they make and be really comfortable with each other.
I can’t wait for another Cavs-Warriors match-up. I hope this time the teams will play in a very high level and a great officiating for the refs. Also, the season really start in the playoffs right still enough time for the teams to practice and develop.
