I really really want to agree that the Warriors had an easier route but we can't underestimate how bad the Celtics were for a top seed, even with IT. Like they were a Rondo injury away (RONDO!) from getting swept by a garbage rear end Chicago team who barely even made it into the playoffs. No matter how broken the west teams were they never were even close to that level of ineptitude.

What IF I told you Rondo is actually a really really good PG with amazing court vision, a proven finals winner, Doc Rivers called him the smartedt player he's ever coached, and Dwyane Wade is the third best SG of all time so the Bulls weren't actually all that bad

The way I see it, this season's worth of data when examined and analyzed in many different ways by many different people pegged the Cavaliers as not even the best team in their conference and with 50/50 odds at best against their peers in the upper part of the conference, and it's easy to see this reflected in the final win totals. Clearly, as can be observed from these entire playoffs, this isn't true.

The extent to which this isn't true is impossible to pin down given the circumstances of these playoff series, which sucks because it makes predicting the Finals mere guesswork. The Warriors having their own cupcake bracket on the other side doesn't help matters either.

Well stated consider me agreedo

I distinctly remember Boris getting robbed of FMVP. Also I distinctly remember he tossed that Jordan-style one-handed lob to Kawhi

has kelly olynyk astrally projected himself into a more agile player so as to better cheap shot the cavs. being uncoordinated famously makes one unable to injure your opponent

I don't know if it's just me noticing it this playoffs or if Marv's getting old or what but he's said some wrong and dumb stuff lately

Earlier K Love was 6/9 from three then he hit another three and he was 7/9 from three

Also he bit a hooker that one time haha
